You've lost me... 😅

Ghey! Should still come down for the day.

Y U No do Oulton next week?

The Redline MTL in mine is a belter, so smooth!

Legs not long enough to press the pedals? 😂

Could that oil be too slippery for the synchros Mark, being a GL5?

The start button just goes off the clutch/brake pedal sensor, so no issue there if the slave goes.

How old are these Avons this time? 😂

Cheers for the offer mate, but i should be alright. The rears have loads left so i'll stick them on the front.

Cheers mate, might take you up on that unless i can sort something. Got Oulton next Wednesday and my front left is low, only just checked it the other day. Might put the rears on the front to last me and bring some AD08's with me to CSF incase he's there on the Sunday.

Power steering on these do get hot with track work.

Could be me driving home on bald fronts then 😂

Yep, works spot on!

It's the higher number in the oil grade that's important, that's the operating figure. 5w50 and 10w50 will be the same at operating temperature. 5w50 being thinner from cold.

5w50 is a bit more expensive because it's not that common. 10w50 would be a more common choice.

I use the TripleQX 5w40 from Euro Car Parts and before that was just the Elf Evolution stuff. Cheap and good enough for these engines tbh, they're not a Ferrari. Would rather change a cheaper oil more often, than use expensive stuff and change less.

It's discounted compared to on the gate entry, i think @andybond was on about the early bird offer which was months ago.

About £50 2nd hand.

Go wild and stick a K20 in it!

It is Bosch 5.7 on the Mk2 Clio You can activate the abs pump with the rst module: Read and clears all pending/stored ABS ECU fault codes. ABS Hydraulic unit and Brake circuits bleeding. ABS Pump motor test. Worth having your car battery connected to a charger as you do it, don't want it going...

I got my Valeo clutch from GSF for £60. Not sure about the head work. These engines are not that common for headgasket failures, so i'm wondering why it's been done in the past... @bloke may be able to offer some advice.

Doing BMW gearboxes now?

Bought for £580, stick a grand in it. Should be a decent motor for £1500 then. I'd run a Valeo clutch personally, although LUK is a decent brand. Get a heatshield for that starter motor too otherwise it won't last long.

Same really, I should have 2 AD08r's with me that'll need fitting.

Is this tyre guy definitely coming to CSF?

Ph1 short shifter is easy enough to do. Ph2 requires a bit of the shifter machining off.

Chris at EFI will probably recommend an Adaptronic ECU as he knows them inside out.

If you want to do it on your own, get a pressure bleeder for like £50-60.

Easy enough to get into reverse when it's all off, push up and back.

If it's been 4 years i'd just drain it and do it that way.
