If your planning on bleeding them undo the brake bleed nipple when you prise the pads apart. will make life easier

Yeah, I agree. I'd only ever fit stock paper filters now.

75w-80 is the correct grade

lol, scum of the UK shame you cant cut it away and let it float away (bit like ireland :rasp: )

Yep as suggested lower rad pipe, and yes use the bleed screw wehen refilling!

Take the dashboard out and tape the light.

I unplugged mine on my 182, didnt bring any lights on although may show on CLIP.

thats a fair bit, does it burn much oil? if not its probably been overfilled in the past sometime

as above

I bet that gave you a fright, shitty french piece!

Nice :)

Yeah what he says!

PTFE additive, waste of time IMO Check out the Oil bible, there is a whole page dedicated to the pro's and mostly cons

I would swap my Z20LET for a Clio 17/182 anyday of the week, The astra is so boring! (although definately built better!) Talking in a straight line Standard vs standard nothing in it Remapped Astra = bye bye Clio!

We got iron bru on our carpet at home, nothing would shift it. if its dried id say you might be fubared

I think for best performance retaining standard plenum/mani something similar to this is your best bet with standard paper filter IMO or if youre that way inclined a cotton/foam filter. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=447554 Doesn't look too pretty though if you want a nice...

Yes I know, I remember the controversy lol

Really, IIRC the 200 was quicker when 5th gear tested it :rolleyes::dead:

carbon canister?

pretty damn sure it is the same yes, i remember for 100% that it has the same fitting as the engine oil (8mm square)

Rat look effect?

well it says FF lol

Is that just a guess or was that recorded temps from a gauge, sounds like a guess to me. The top quality silkolene will resist death until about 150c IIRC

Why is that then?

CTS is my guess, as above.

Really, in that case I stand corrected!

260 HP on standard internals? Dubious about that

What sort of actual oil temperatures are we talking here? Modern synthetics are very good and can resist higher temps than you might think

The astra I have atm has a rubber o-ring rather than a copper crush washer which unless its ripped or torn it doesnt need replacing I can kinda see why you should replace a crush washer but ive never needed too :)

me too pikey ftw
