My sister has just got a V40 R-Design in Rebel Blue, petrol though. Nice motors.

Not normal no. I'd look around the heater matrix area where the coolant flows.

I mean the 182 has 2 pumps and they're both the same. One does front and rear windows and the other does left and right headlight washers.

Mine don't squeal.

No particular bedding in process on them. Can use on track from new. I like to warm them up a bit first though, so i don't suffer from them falling apart like some do.

I'm sure they knew what they were doing when they designed them. They mustn't need them.

My RC5's rattle over bumps, it's ok i wouldn't worry about it.

On the 182 they are the same pump. I'm guessing it's the same for the 172.

I'd have ordered 2 or 3 sets possibly. As Dan said, you could go through them quite quick on track and then you have a 2nd set you can just throw in and you're back out again. 3rd set to get you home or as a spare for another day.

Looks spot on that @Matt e

New pump, a few quid from Euro Car Parts. Wipers will have to come off to get the black plastic scuttle panel off though to get to the bottle.

Here's the info from the repair manual

Some of the sump bolts may want to round, so you may want some spare. There is a torque setting yes and also a particular order to do them in. Some people fit ARP rod bolts while the sump is off too.

That's gorgeous! :hearteyes: Give it to me :tonguewink:

Non adjustable - B14's Adjustable - BC's or 2nd hand AST's

Just read this, which says the slow return is correct

My brand new rear Koni adjustables i fitted the other day were like the ones on the left. Where as my old h&r's, that were knocking, came up a lot quicker. So i'm guessing they're meant to be like that. I see it as the springs are the bit that pushes them back up and returning the car to it's...

3M kit or the AutoGlym kit from Halfrauds.

That's true, i wouldn't stick 205's on anything less than a 6.5-7J rim.

I would yeah.

Track tyres are usually wider than their stated widths too, so a 195 could actually be compared to a 205 normal road tyre. You also benefit slightly from the higher load rating of a 205 compared to a 195, specifically the AD08R with the 195 having an 82 load rating and the 205 an 86.

Fitted Koni adjustables to the rear and it's cured the knocking. The H&R shocks must have been dead.

If they're high tensile ones, then you'll be ok using the ones you've got but with washers added.

I can recommend these ones http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/seat-accessories/race-safety-accessories-seat-bolt-kit-12-9-ht-steel-m8-cap-head-x-1-25-thread-inc-washers

I hope you're putting some washers under the head of those sidemount bolts... They'll pull through in a crash otherwise.

Get it to @MicKPM if you can. If he can't fix it, then it's scrap tbqh.

About twice the price of HC's i think mate, so about £90 They look a better disc too with the black anti corrosion on the edge and the hub. Speak to @George@RTR_Parts

I've gone over to the Brembo Max discs, the grooved ones. Noticed that the braking is better compared to plain discs.

Nice of him to do that
