So I have to admit, I ready this thread about ten pages in, and thought you were all being pricks. Having just caught up, I whole heartedly applaud the ripping this c**t has got. Well played, CS.

LOL at leaving a laptop in your car. Asking for trouble.

Great turnaround, that! Bargain for a DCi also!

Yep, gap is fine.

My DCi is for sale. Pretty high miles, but seems perfectly good so far. 12 months MOT and 11 months tax too...

Yep, you sometimes will be lucky that you don't have to support the gearbox either. Battery out. Undo 18mm big nut in the middle. Undo 2x 13mm nuts, make sure bolts don't drop through. Give stud a sharp tap with a hammer. Lift old mount out. Reverse to fit.

50 miles each way is nothing for the piece of mind that it'll be done correctly and probably cheaper than most places.

Shouldn't move about under it's own weight! Should be pretty tight. Moveable by hand, but tight.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Don't be mate! Has to be done right! :)

'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Schoolboy! As said mate, will amend when we finish off.... I even remember commenting at the time that it was mighty close to the cover. Thought process is non-existent at 1:30am.

Spot on.

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Makes such a nice change to have a massive warm garage! Was almost 2am before i knew it, lol.

Wire brush and re-paint the heads?

This. Surely one of the NW boys will be up for an hours work...

Yeah, i always use a bit of wood. Just incase.

£350 is a f**king bargain for that.

Won't be able to do it much quicker!

If you're scrapping the discs anyway, get a grinder out and take the head off. Dont worry about the disc.

Another vote for Dan. Was doing them silly cheap last time i heard, too!

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' Rack bushes, PMS shifter kit etc. sure we can leave you all the fun stuff mate. ;)

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' 9am? I'm up at 7:45 on Saturday for an 8am start! Need to get to Brentford for 3pm. ;)

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' If you're buying, i'll wear. Can guarantee they'll be dirty again in minutes though. (;

Re: 'Cub's Trackday Flamer - Cage etc' I can't wait to put my dirty hands all over that rocker cover.

Literally has never a truer word been spoken.

Re: My new project - 106 GTI Cracking looking little car, this. I love how simple 106's are to work on TBH.

Lol. Buy something different.

Glad they arrived safe and sound matey, :)

If it works on number 4 only, it's the resistor. If not, check fuse, check the motor is getting power etc. The usual checks.

Standard upper mounts, polybushed dogbone is the best combo for a road car IMO. If your dogbone is worn, you'll get excess movement in the gearstick when you come on and off the throttle. If your upper gearbox mount is worn, you'll get a knocking at low/mid revs on the throttle. Cheap part and...

Iirc, the word 'compound' scares all detailers.
