@Balbasra9477 how are you getting on with the Jaune Saturne 182???

Correct- mine is one of the few with ac from the factory- and that hasn’t had it ripped out! Good job on getting yours cool again. Mine is regassed, new condenser, seals, blah blah, but I have the cogs in pieces from the area down in the Driver’s footwell and until that’s sorted I don’t have...

Anyone have a recommendation on front subframe- if I buy a secondhand one, who can do the blasting, any welding and prep ready for cavity wax, zinc primer and Bilt Hamber epoxy? I want to bolt on a subframe that’s going to last and doesn’t carry any wear from elongated holes etc. fnarr. Thanks.

I’m going to have to change the thread title, maybe it’s just a Cup now and not so poo… new track rod ends and tie rods and the clip now has an MOT :cool:

4 of the supposedly crap AD08RS fitted, so that’s the tread depth handled. Probably going to get the driveshafts, bushes and things done along with the tie rods and track rod ends. The good thing is, I never got to drive it on track on the AR1, so I won’t know any different from however these...

Cheers, worth doing it all. And get the bloody pass!

Thanks Ben. I think so much of this tired car can do with replacing that I’m happy to throw track rod ends and inner tie rods and steering rack bushes at it, because it’s likely all very tired. But FFS, it would be nice to have it mot’d. I went to chat to another place today and they’ll do the...

Guys, help me out with this. I obviously won’t be taking the car back to kwikfit for the mot- guy failed it on two things that weren’t fails 2 miles ago. FFS. Tyres are easy. What am I going to need to do to sort the other new issue- shown below. He said tie rod ends. What does all of your...

And the fan kicked in. Wish me luck for the MOT tomorrow 🙏

The fastest I could get hold of an expansion tank was an eBay mahle one… made in China… it’s in and I’m running the car, no leaks. I’m waiting for the fan to kick in but it’s taking ages- is that normal?

Haven’t had time to even look at this until today. Started it up and I could immediately see a small drip coming from the new expansion tank. It’s a Febi one, has done about 5 miles… I’ve ordered another and booked an MOT. I did take the opportunity to replace some relays with new ones, cleaning...

Ok, I got everything sorted and dealt with all of the MOT fails, and the car went in today for another go. I had a call about 20 minutes later and they sent a video- it pissed its coolant all over the place! The tester stopped the test so it wouldn’t get another fail and we took a look in the...

Thanks everyone. I’ll get it done tomorrow and I appreciate the tips. At least I’ll have a badass tool for all kinds of jobs I can f**k up in future now!

Ordered- THANK YOU!!!

I wish I had either an ugga dugga gun, or an actual gun… have neither
