J&R driveshafts are sent out really quickly, next day DPD.
If it was me I'd probably just change the driveshaft as it's a 1-2 hour job and pretty straight forward.
My wife has a 2018 Clio dci with rear drum brakes. They look really rusty so I want to have a go at removing them, dipping them in deox c and then spraying them with enamel spray.
Is it pretty easy to remove the outer drum? Is there any reason why dipping them in Deox-C or citric acid isn't...
I need some more of that high strength ebay acid wheel cleaner. Has anyone bought any recently and got a link?
Its the stuff that gets rid of hard baked on brake dust.
Good idea with the infrared thermometer.
'Mintex ceratec anti squeal' paste kit is great. Well worth a go - it worked for my brembo set up, I had squeel and this stopped it.

If you get really stuck then one option is to use an angle grinder to cut the tie rod, then use one of these to undo the tie rod https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/361899566849?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=vIRMQk85RKm&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=RXuzwWdASje&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY...

Maybe here, haven't read the 7999 pages to find out if it has wiring diagrams
Refurbing your own set could be done over a weekend with a wirewheel drill attachment, some Bilt Hamber DEOX-C to soak them in a bucket over night and then sprayed up or powdercoated.

Have a look there. Looks like the TomTom screen will stop working but that is no great loss.
It's a real shame as they could have become quite big on YouTube if they were a bit quicker and uploaded once a week.
They have quite a few unfinished projects, it's not just Binky but they also started a truck and also had one of those MG xpower sv's.
There is a trick to getting the gaiter on to the rack. I spent hours trying the screwdrivers method with no luck at all - only ended up with cut fingers.
Right.... The trick... You fold the big end lip of the gaiter back on itself about 15 mm. You can then slide the gaiter on to the rack and...

How long were you trying to bleed it for? And how long was the caliper off the car and did you try and block off the brake line when the old caliper was off?
Gunson eesibleed from Halfords would be a good start. leave that to do its thing and you should be getting brake fluid coming out.
Jack up the rear beam, have the jack in the middle of the rear beam. Get two axle stands to put on the rear jacking points. Lower the jack on the rear beam so the rear of the car sits on the axle stands.
Now use the jack, still on the rear beam to take the slack on the rear beam. loosen the...
If it's a daily and won't be used for track then Halfords enamel spray paint is great. It gives a nice powdercoated gloss look, it's great as dust and dirt cleans off it easily.
Make sure you wirewheel the crap off the caliper first and get it nice and clean before painting.
