Was at the scrappy as there was a fairly late 1.2 16v Campus in, i actually went for the bonnet because mine is rotten on the underside, bonnet was good on the car in the scrappy in the pics but some genius had lifted it right up and back against the windscreen f**king it in the 2 days it had...

I done an abs bleed on my autel a few weeks ago, from memory an mk900?

my mate had a 1.2 16v when we were 17 that had all the dealer options on it which I remember at the time thinking was cool, This spoiler, the Sebring exhaust and the factory "lexus lights" to name a few

From factory I believe the VVT is disabled from cold start, that's what Henk does with the RStuner, enables VVT from cold which I believe is why it makes them drive much better

while they are crap from cold, its not normal to be struggling to go over 20mph lol id be checking lambda sensor first.

2 different cars, i owned 692 and there is also 690, both with no numbers, think they are both car supermarket euro imports, no window etching/ locking wheel nuts /alarm

Started cleaning up the arches, also sourced a nice condition set of factory mud flaps so took the time to remove all the arch liners, clean everything up behind them and fit the flaps in the process Suspension was all original, covered in surface rust but was nice to see its not even had a...

Poor lusty got hounded out of here 😂 His car actually looked like it was really well done too, some of his posts were questionable 😂

To be fair id imagine those do very very little (you can see theres no marks where its been flexing and moving) should be able to drill it out, clean up the threads and get a bolt from a scrappy, or just drill it out and nut and bolt it as you can get access to the other side easily.

Probably due to the extra weight on it from the mount above it being worn!

I've never seen the gearbox to subframe mount ever wear, it's literally just a big chunk of rubber, I wouldn't change it personally

@aldo_87 dropped off a set of fairly decent condition eibach sport lines he found in his garage, so swapped them on, took 20 mins to do all 4 springs which I was impressed by!!! Also fitted a set of genuine mud flaps I got from the scrappy

When I used to work at a garage our cost from supplier (Stapleton's) was always more than average Joe could buy them from camskill (including delivery!) and at the time we added £25 markup per tyre, with "free" fitting and balancing. So didn't matter if it was a £50 budget or a £350 super wide...

Should be interchangeable

For me, Michelin on everything, even if you disregard the difference in grip/safety... Steering feels is better They look better They wear brilliantly I've never had one blow out during a pot hole (said it now 🙄) Of course other premium brands are available that will be as good/better/close...
