Okay do I need a special plug spanner? I have a normal one you can get in halfords... As I say my old clio required a special long one. Also how long does it take roughly to do? Many thanks

Quick question. About to do this possibly this evening - before I take everything apart, do I need any special tools to do it? (Like on the 1.2's) Thanks :) Ollie

Safe I may come by sometime then. Proper shame he hasn't got any vids of it on the car....!!

I saw this aswell. Was very smart and had a good look around it

I may even have a look at this at CSS, see what all the fuss is about ;)

Oh yeah I did forget to be fair! Wouldn't mind seeing it sometime if that's okay? Just need to do some research into it, don't want anything too loud :/

No tints, not keen on them. Exhaust.... Maybe. Been looking into a yozza system, but I dunno. The main thing I'm doing next is a good old service!

So happiness never lasts for long. My car has a starting issue. Best way to describe would be.... I turn the key (after waiting for all lights to go out, religious about that!) then it will begin to start, but immediately stall? I then turn key again and it'll start first time with no issues...

Cheers mate :p I am proper happy with them!

Cheers mate! I'm yet to see your car, we gotta meet up one night so I can have a look around it :)

The ride is no less comfortable then standard tbh. Over really horrendous roads its bumpy, but over normal roads with your average pot holes.... It's not far off of standard! And my god, it's so planted now through bends and stuff. No body roll which is fantastic! They've transformed the car

So after picking up a set of cooksport lowering springs for £100, this is what the car now looks like! :) , (pictures are pretty crap unfortunately, but only have my iPhone as a camera :( better ones will follow!) They're absolutely superb, couldn't reccomend them high enough. Ollie

Anybody have any ideas? I've cleaned all of the oil off of the surface and am trying to locate where the leak is coming from. Is there a common place anywhere? Just worrying me as its the gearbox area.

This is the best way about it yeah? How long roughly would it take? I'm no mechanic but I will have a mate helping out and we aren't the worst in the world at things like this! Thanks for the replies

They are! Finally!

Is that the easiest way about doing it?

I've jacked the car up and there appears to be a lot of gearbox oil on the gear selector itself where is this likely to be leaking from? I don't know whether its relevant but the car is making noises in 5th gear and when going from 4th - 5th it makes a High pitch squeak. Thanks

I need to change my sump gasket as I believe it's leaking. I've jacked the car up and had a look and the subframe appears to be in the way of half the bolts. What's the best way around this problem? Many thanks Ollie

Brilliant cheers mate! Tonight could be the night the springs finally get fitted! Only been in my boot for a week now.... -.-!

Well managed to get them undone with a buzz gun! Finally.....! Does anybody know the torque settings for the bolts on the bottom of the strut? Or is it okay to just do up as tight as I can?

Argh. Not going to my mates tonight now to try again as he's just put it off to tomorrow.. Long. It can't be this difficult to fit springs?! FFs.

Tried it in the air and on ground, neither made and difference. Really hope the air gun sorts it this evening!

It is yeah. It's gone all funny because I've soaked my top mounts in wd40 since last Tuesday to try and loosen it up a bit and they've gone all weird because of the WD. Il just change them to KTR mounts sometime lol.

Trying with an impact gun tomorrow. I've honestly never had this much trouble removing a bolt before in my life. Unbelievable how tight it is. Also it's done this.... Got bored of bending tools, so it killed itself It's cracked on the left hand side (bit where Allen key goes in centre)...

Hi all Trying to get the top mounts off and they just aren't shifting any ideas?

Accepted your FB request, don't really go on it much though lol. Looking into buying spacers for mine soon ish so would like to see how yours is sitting!

Lol, know the top of rydes hill is Belmont avenue? At the top of there mate :p there'll be a silver fiesta zetec S on the driveway and my clio on the road outside. Surprised I haven't seen you around before with those mods as it sounds a very distinct car. What spacers are you running? Wouldn't...

Oh nice mate! Where abouts are you in guildford? Il keep an eye out for you too :)

Given up this evening. Driven me mad and bent all my Allen keys. Long
