couldn't be assed reading the whole thread but my 1.2 reaches 100 easily and I've once had it to 120 (all on my private racetrack) 90 should be no problem really.

why would you want to? lol ;)

lol, the debate begins... You could do with a set of spring compressors yeah (i did with mine) but some people on here do it without and don't have any problems.

do it yourself mate, couple of hours of a job really ;)

seen the same go for £400-£500. Tad OTT if you ask me ;)

front and rear look kinda 'megane-ified' :S

lol, don't think I'll be disabling a vital safety feature to save £60~ ;)

what size?

cheers edde, it's just that there's alot of hubs out there that are non-abs. Although I guess they could be from the mk2 ph1?

ok cheers, told him to get it out of the garage as it's useless stuck in there. Will see what happens tomorrow and try get it warmed up on a run tomorrow night.

Just to add, the car first broke down a couple of weeks back and this proved to be the coil pack. This was all repaired and car was working till the TB problem.

doubt it tommy (warranty) on a 51 plate.

are you sure it's the airbag light mate?

No, to my knowledge they haven't tried lubing it up. They simply said it was probably the throttle cable and were quite happy to change that tomorrow. I checked the cable for sticking etc and could find nothing, although this was with the engine cold and in the garage.

from my quick look at it yesterday the throttle cable isn't anywhere near the mani so don't think it'll be that. I have never seen the fault 'in action' i'm just repeating the description I was given after it happened. I'm 'told' that the wheel that the throttle cable attaches to on the tb...

on a 1.2 engine. Once the engine has warmed up and you go over say 30mph the throttle 'locks' open and as you can imagine over-revs very noisily! Besides switching the engine off, the only way to sort it out is to lift the bonnet and give the throttle cable a bit of a yank so the throttle shuts...

yep cheers for the help peeps, got them changed successfully today, took me a little over an hour all in! :approve:

lol, cheers for the info, I've checked today whilst changing my brake discs and there's definitely a sensor on each hub so I've got ABS :approve:

it's a white allen-bolt on the rear of each headlight, but to be done correctly you really need a garage to check the levels once adjusted.

Lol, don't worry about it Tom Bradford is a good 30ish miles from me but thanx for the offer :approve: I will get them out tomorrow come hell or high water! ;)

I'm Lancs mate, near Burnley if you know it?

thanks for the help guys.

badoing...

ok cheers Tom, will try that before I resort to the drill.

ok cool cheers guys, least I now have a last resort if it still wont budge tomorrow ;)

I thought that John, may well be a plan of attack for tomorrow! :evil: lol, no worries, i've done pads a few times no problems there ;)

the torx 40 is for the 2 torx screws holding the brakedisc onto the hub. The first one came out easy but the second is stuck fast. Admittedly they aren't really needed once the wheel bolts/wheel are fitted but I need to get it out in the first place :dapprove:

:bump:

he's got a mk2, personally i would leave the plate where it is. They always look too blank with the plate relocated.

set out today to replace my front brake discs. All was going hunky-dory till I came to the second torx 40 screw holding the disc to the hub. I couldn't, for love nor money, get the little fooker out!! :mad: The first one came straight out but the second wouldn't budge! Any ideas guys as I had...
