That mat be correct, I have a couple of pressure bleeders too so next time I need to bleed anything I'll try both and see which works best for me.

I recently bought a manual oil extractor pump thing that has adapters for brakes/clutches. I'm yet to try it on brakes but it sure works well for oil! https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CC8G4GV6/?tag=cliospnet01-21

You aren't missing anything, the bulbs are just a push fit. A 10 second google search brings this up. Skip to about 02:30 in.

OEM tyres were 215/45/17 - are they any cheaper or do you specifically want 225's?

s**t yeah, just looked in RPD - £611 for the full kit Inc dephaser, water pump etc.

That's shot up, used to be £5-600 didn't it?

Seeing this makes me miss my old T5 Looked a little different in the end though

Not a photo of the actual car, as I was driving on the A617 at the time but I saw a black Ford Cougar V6 yesterday. I can't remember the last time I saw a Cougar on the road!

My first thought was that English clearly isn't the OP's first language, then realised they're from Huddersfield, so my assumption was correct :p

I've enquired about the 1.8t components and it's not a cheap conversion. circa £3-4k for mounts, driveshafts, loom etc

Not for now, I've just got a low mileage std replacement that I'm doing a rebuild on before dropping it in. I've stripped the replacement engine but not found the time to put it back together yet. It's having a complete rebuild including all bearings, rings, seals, gaskets, oil pump, timing...

Yeah, I put some BC Racing coilovers on it about a month before I killed the bottom end 😆

Nice! I've got this one sat in my garage awaiting me finding the time to drop in the replacement engine. Great fun to drive!

I've got BC racing on my MR2, I believe they set preload from the factory so shouldn't need altering unless you want to change it of course.

Personally the corrosion on the alloys would bother me more! But as others have said, paint the brakes in situ.

I think F4R A8P8 is the F4R 832 engine, which is the Clio 200 engine I think. Should go in the 197 though, but I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon.

It's a 2.0 diesel according to the DVLA

A few spots from Cromford steam rally at the weekend

11k from new Z3 owned by an old chap around the corner from me, its extremely clean as you would expect on that few miles!

The system needs a specific weight of refrigerant in to function, not pressure (yes it relies on pressure to function but pressure alone won't make it work properly) Those kits shouldn't be sold in my opinion. £40-60 to get it vacuumed and refilled with the correct amount.

Brush on silver Hammerite. Lasts for ages, goes on easily and doesn't mind if you haven't done a great job of prepping them.

My understanding is that the issue with fitting a 197/200 engine is that the gearbox bolt holes on the block are different, so folk tend to use a 182 block with 197/200 head.

Definitely get some heat on it, ideally a proper plumbers torch if you have access to one.

So what use would a new one be? :confused:

Depending what's wrong with yours, could you not just have a machine shop resurface it?

Nice clean Nova GSI parked Infront of me when I came out of Smyth's Toys with my daughter last Sunday

No 🤣

I can probably help with that if you wanted....

I might be wrong, but every driveshaft I've ever bought already has CV boots on it?
