I could have sworn I already posted in here but perhaps I did no such thing... like a muppet.
Anywho, I got directed here by some of the friendly cross club members I know over at oldschool.co.nz
I have a '96 405Sti 2.0L which is currently broken due to unobtanium coolant housing... (wanted post to come haha)
Name's Vince
Howdy
Welcome along mate.
Have you been to Pick a Part recently? Often 405's to be found there.
Hi Vince!
Show pic asip :-)
Yeah I have been to alllll the pick a parts haha, removed the most awkward part on earth from about 5 different pugs but none were right... needs to be the alloy block 2L and most seem to be either the 1.9 or 1.6... troublesome machine :)
Pic... yes, please hold caller.
It turns out I haven't got a decent pic of it... i really should fix that some time soon/when it's fixed haha, in the meantime here are a couple of it doing some work, drove down to wellington to collect a trio of motorbikes. Wish it looked that low all the time... it doesn't haha :)

I dont have stock in stock but you have come to the right place! Im pretty sure don simon manufactured one the bits you are after bout a year ago out of stainless coz the plastic ones are made out of chocolate
Any who post a link here of the offending article and we will try sort it
Also saw your car parked up on new nrth rd last mondayish
Ahhh, yes you do! that sounds positive, if the someone already has a template of offending bit that could make for much easier replacement for one not made of fudge!
Check the wanted section, that has all the info i think :)
Hello Vincent.
greetings young cam, you should probably just do a wee on that silly housing of mine, would come right back together no doubt! :p

Yeah he seems to have a fair amount of 306's coming and going from his house, some being fixed, some being wrecked.
Welcome Vince, 2l STI's are obviously too reliable if you can't find a wrecked one!

Indeed! /nobody ever bought one and I am the only weirdo haha.
Good news it that Phil at Contis made contact and sold me a brand new unit off the shelf! Woohoo, thanks again Phil, you are a gentleman and a scholar!
Thought so!
Glad you got it sorted. 405's are pretty cool, when they are up and running! I have a couple of wrecks that club forum frequenters can contact me for cheap bits and bobs before I junk them. Have a mint windscreen if someone can remove it! I'd hate to junk that!
