F*cking finally! Immobiliser issue sorted, I blew the 5 amp fuse in the engine bay when I got the jump leads the wrong way round. Negative lead / earth is a bit of a temperamental c*nt too. No matter how new my phone is it's always an awkward c*nt that won't do as it's told.

I got actually got this thing started a few days ago after using the negative jump cable as an extra earth to the chassis, put it in reverse to move it and when I took it out of gear it died. Went to jump it again but because I was doing it in the dark I got the cables the wrong way round and...

Rear pads falling out is quite common, a mate of mine has his track car rears wired in like aircraft parts as he's had them fall out on track.

Could be the pad sticking in the caliper when it heats up, I had it recently on the front of my old Clio, I'd forgotten to file down the tabs and the powder coating was expanding when hot and jamming on the disc making it red hot. Have you cleaned all the baked on brake dust off the calipers...

I was 90% of the way there, it's just I'm having regular visits to the chiropractor and my lower back was starting to go after I was specifically told not to work on cars, so he came over to do the final 10% of swearing at it.

Ryan said the same thing, it was spaced for the dog kennel, it needed pressing back in so the bolt could space it when it went in. So I actually managed to get the b*stard on! It only took a professional mechanic to come over on his day off and do it for me. Sadly no startup, as even with a...

I levered it out with a screwdriver. The big bolt at the back is in and the whole setup is tight as f*ck like it's already tentioned without the tiller bar. My main concern is the way it looks on the crank pulley, it's in its grooves but that looks like it's going to jump to me.

Right, this prick will not get the better of me. I've come to the conclusion that this spacer is a pointless c*nt, I got the alternator on the belt, but I need some wiggle room to line the bolt holes up, the spacer means it only just goes on at a 90 degree angle, which means removing the belt...

Sorry mate, I'll stfu and give it another go next weekend.

Honestly Rob I've lost the will to give a f*ck anymore, the only reason I bought this car was to salvage the freshly built engine that went in the dog kennel, but it starting to dawn on me that I just don't have any energy to even get started, even if I did all I'll have is someone else's car I...

I came off an identical engine with the same setup, I removed it myself.

I've spent another hour trying to fit the aux belt to the PMS setup, no matter which pully I leave off, the belt simply won't stretch over the final one. Anyone got any tips? I just don't have it in me to care anymore, I'm on the verge of selling it on and giving up on Clio's and cars in...

F*ck me that's rowdy! 🤣

When was the last time you saw an Aventime in the wild? I saw a blue one in Cov back when they were new, other than that only at car shows. Absolutely mint.
