Stainless does rust, just no where near as much as mild steel, how much it rusts depends on the grade. The tip may well no be stainless, might be chromed mild steel for example

Most likley earths rather than battery, check these first, its cheaper than a new battery

depends if you have mechanical or electronic speedo drive, if electronic then the 182 will fit, if not then you can only use a 172 one with mechanical drive. Dunno about the 197

ALWAYS use the dipstick for oil, even on new cars gauges are often out, make sure its on a level surface too. I'd use 5W40, its what they recommend for the valvers/williams For the gauge there are a number of optiiosn, if it dont' move at all then check the connectiions to sensor/gauge, dont'...

Haynes manual shoudl sort you out, primciple is the same on a 1.2 as on a 2.0

I know everyone rates Avo but i'm not a fan, my rear shocks from brand new have lasted about 18 months if that, and thats with no track use

Wouldn't use a xW30 At this time oif year i'd stick with a 5W40 fully synth, 10W40 and 15W40 will give high oil pressures at start up, esp when its the likes of -2 deg c. Mobil one is, or always was renound for being shite at higher temps, ran it once in my mk1, make it sound like a tractor so...

Chances are it will ahve been removed due to the usual play in it, its an absoloute c**t to get to the bolts witht eh boot in, so thats probabily the reason for it being removed, thats why i removed mine, then reaslised it kept the water out

I'd remove steering column to put it in, there are two, one that goes inside and one outside, i've only got the external one on mine, didn't have any but i found when you go through puddles you get an inch of water sloshing around in the footwell if you dont' ahve the rubber there

Shoudl be fine, chances are if dirt has got in there they'll just be play int he steering, ususally just wears the track rofds, to swap the rubber is about a 5 min job, just undo track rod end and from hub and shoudl be able to, with a bit of persuasion get it over the track rod end
