@Jme34 If you're correcting, then you should know how think the paint is, yeah.

Pay someone to do it properly once, and then keep it well maintained. @VIICarCare isn't a million miles away, and Dawn's work is very good from the results i've seen!

Can you not get a Stanley blade down there to clean up the old gasket?

Yep. Sure is mate. Has been dragged over the deck, so won't be in the best of shape, but it's holding oil and yours for nothing.

£2-300 in parts, and a day's work from what i can see. Then 2/4 tyres. All consumables.

@Mash. I have a sump on a dead engine you're welcome to if you remove it.

Yep, i always swap for a hex bolt when i put them back. Re: bracket. If it's a std Ph1 bracket, then it comes off without the PAS pump needing to be touched. Few bolts into the lower inlet. One awkward 16mm by the upper engine mount, aux tensioner(which is done already) and a nut and bolt onto...

Yep, check the door sensors then IMO. Sounds like they're not plugged in/not working IMO.

I think you'll find it too high if your buckets are mounted low TBH. Need to make up some longer bolts/spacers to drop the column for the wheel to be the right height for me,.

Sabelt FTW. Everytime i drive one with a standard wheel i feel like this: Which to scale, isn't far wrong before Cub pipes up.

Sounds like a door sensor might be playing up - the auto lock should only work if you unlock, but don't open any of the doors/boot, or when you go over 9/10mph if you set it.. Does the interior light activate on the door opening?

Hahah. Holy thread bump, Batman!

I've made an offer, you've not taken it (yet). x

Remove the shims when you fit them and they'll be alright. I've never had a set squeal.

Rears - leave them alone, They don't do anything. Fronts - DS2500 pads on standard discs

Nothing. For road use, you're all good. I don't like Cooksports on the road TBH. Prolines suit B-roads better for me. If you get into track days, you'll end up with coilovers, but will suffer road wise.

On a 1.2, Eibach Sportlines all the way.

From how they're all bunched up, pretty sure they're not sportlines. I could be wrong, and it's a very quick/cheap thing to change/improve. (:

What are those rear springs? Look to be doing absolutely nothing. Car looks great mate!

Brake load bias sensor. All in all, ignore it.

Doesn't matter sadly - any rapid drop of pressure can cause issues.

A lot of times, the lack of oil pressure is enough to cause damage. Might be lucky though. I'd change the sump, fill with oil again and hope you've been lucky.

Zamir FTW.

Cheers to this thread. Also saved me 50%.

Next mod you need is a set of Ph1 172 projector headlights. Freshens up the front end lots IMO:

Wheels like biscuits. Love it.

Yep, can either unbolt the 2x 18mm bolts for the ball joint. Or, you can get the driveshaft out by unbolting the track rod end and twisting it that way, Equally, you can setup camber bolts to be pretty damn close with an iphone spirit level app.

Man up, Jessie. ;) (Stick a lump of rag on the inlet and you'll be able to move it no problems..)

Firstly, loosen the 4x 16mm bolts on the upper engine mount, and pull the engine towards you. Nip the bolts up again.
