Opps so the dash was reading right lol. Thats what happened when my escort gave in, infact I had put oil in before it got to the stage where it wouldnt start and it still didnt recover.
Wanna buy the mk1? :D

Make me an offer.
I do want to but Ive gotta work :( Ill see about taking it as holiday but my boss threw a hissy fit over me booking Saturday off.
Yeh defo mate, Im only in Bromley Cross just over the otherside of Winter Hill.
Did you get my email, sent it to your live.be account? You'll have to tell me lol...
Do a practice detail on my car and ill let you use the photos for promotional material. And ill do some of your car too ;) Maybe even do you a couple of prints as well.
Realised ive done a fail. 800iso :( I aint used my camera for 3 months and forgot to check, thought summat was a bit odd when I was taking the photos.
Ahh well heres a few more...
And one of the handsome devil himself.
And yes I'm up for more photoshoots, whenever really, PM me anyone...
Me and JME/jesus went for a little shoot lastnight up Rivington and surrounding areas. Only photos of JME's car because mine is crap tbh. Unfortunately it was raining but we stuck it out, went a few different places and got a few good shots I think.

Bit late now lol. I got through to Euro car parts and he comfirmed the part but when i tried to phone back nobody picked up. Was ringing for aaages.
And Renault wanted £15+ plus VAT. :s
For anyone that wants to know, the parts I linked to in the original post are just universal boots. The dedicated part isnt on the website so you need to phone them up, although its a bit more expensive. Ive just gone for the universal one, meh.
Yes. They can be ordered from Renault but its fairly expensive and takes a while for them to be delivered IIRC.
Take it to a tyre place, ask if they can get them out without damaging the wheels. They might have a tool to do it or might use a chisel and nudge them round till they come out.
I only need the boot/gaiter as it split when I caught it on the bottom arm bolt so I know it aint leaked and worn the bearings/shaft.
If its split and then been driven till its dry the drive shaft will seize, then it will all need replacing.
Need to buy new CV boot but not sure which of these is the right kit.

Part numbers are different on each and it seems to miss out the 99 year.
Also does anyone know if these kits...
To answer my own question and for anyone who needs a straight answer in the future...
Yes, yes they are the same. At least across the non-sports.
The sport hubs are not listed on Eurocarparts...
Quick question.
Are the hubs generic across the range?
More specifically will a DCI hub fit a 1.6 16v?
From what I can work out I think they are but I need to be sure.
A simple 'yes' or 'no' will do.
Thanks, Moz
Yeh I did, the disc came off with a few wacks of the mallet. But got pissed off and fucked the hub lol. Couldnt grip the bolt from the back so drilled a hole and tried to wedge something in there to undo it but it would budge. In the end I just got really annoyed and kept drilling with bigger...
Well it aint coming off. Ive been at it with a hammer too. To me it looks like the disc is held on by the hub nut. How else it it being held on?
I will get at it with a hammer again tomorrow, its extremely frustrating. Everything its ive done on this car has gone wrong :mad:
Stress also. Have you go yours off yet Eddyg?
This is where im at:-
Should it just slide off now? Or does the hub nut also need to be off? Or do I need to drill the torx bolt right the way through? Ahhh help!
Ive got the same problem but with a little extra added. One of my wheel bolts has sheered off AND the torx bolt has rounded off. What I need to know is, do the wheel bolts go through to the hub? Or are they just to the disc?
If I get the disc torx bolts out will the disc come off or will it...
I sooo almost applied to do this last year. Finished my course at uni but Im not sure about applying now. I know there are so little positions available, maybe a will try in a few years.
Anyway, good luck. Whats your site? Or where will you be able to post images?
Working now, good old restart.
Thanks for the help.
Let me know what you think of the site. Is the slideshow taking ages to load up? I might change it so the first is the Bio so the sideshow have a few seconds to load up before you notice it lagging.
Right Ive set up a temporary website just to show a few bits of work until I can afford to get a proper one built.
Anyway its just a Wix template and the wix address works fine www.wix.com/mattosgood/china
Now ive bought the domain www.mattosgoodphotography.co.uk through 123-reg.co.uk and in...
