Had to cut the brake pipe to get it off as didn't have time at the scrappy! But how am i going to get it off now :(

Thats exactly what I've used, the green bottle 1. Its been on for 6 hours now, I tried scrapping the paint but didn't do fck all! Don't have a jet washer :( I'll leave it for 24hrs and see after that? Btw would paint stripper damage the rubber? Made sure I didn't get any on but jw!

Just got some calipers but the last muppet has painted them gold (well half of them and very badly) At the mo they are covered in paint stripped and have beeb for bout 5-6 hrs and the paint is showing no sign of coming off :( Sanding is gonna take ages any other suggestions?

I woulda thought standard discs with DS2500 or Greenstuff with new fluid would be a gd combo less you want 4 pots :p

Same as that tom character! stay well clear fellas.

As above, sorry tom.

I've changed a couple of these, if you need a hand Im in Bristol give me a shout ;) Shouldn't take more than 2 hrs max (if you don't know what you're doing) not that difficult to do imo.

what do you mean the hub size :S do you mean the hub nut?

I would have thought standard discs (drilled and grooved tend to crack under strain apparently), with fast road/track pads eg Ferodo DS2500 or EBC Greenstuff! Won't get better than that without upgrading your calipers etc

box could be shafted?

Spose it does look better, drums look w**k! especially if you're trying to make your car look a little sporty, soon as anyone see's drums on the back they know its rubbish :p

Can you not just use a manual rack obv with williams wishbones/shocks etc but wind out the track rod ends a bit more?

My front brakes were squeeking like mad, put some copper grease on the back of the pads and the squeeking stopped... Also good for putting on the back of discs were they meet with the hub, as they often seem to weld themselves on after time ;)

You'll need the motor mechanism and you might as well get the door card so you can have it in the normal place as you have to take the old card off anyway.

Ollie whats your williams looks like, is it standard? I followed one past tesco bradley stoke the other week...

Have you got a guide for a valver? ;)

Which clio is the guide for?

As above really, ever since I had to take the starter out and put it back in, the battery light has been coming on randomly when Im driving but not for very long normally :S whats this all about??

Sound like a write-off to me if the door isnt closing, sorry buddy least ure ok thou ;)

Wheel bearing noise would cut out when you went round a corner as obv the pressure if off the wheel. As for doing it, hub off, press old one out, press new one in, isn't that hard as long as you have a press or just pay 5/10 for a garage to press it in/out!

Could always relocate the battery?

:o ok guess I'll be taking it apart again tonight then hehe

oh right so don't need the back mounting anyway? Ah well! seems to have improved alot after i rubbed down all the contacts?

Although the dowel mountings were the same where it fits on the gearbox, the cog inside looked slightly different, maybe smaller on the new starter, and the dome-shaped shielding around the cog was definately a lot smaller on the new starter, but not sure if that would have mattered?

Its too small! The mounting bracket from my valver wouldn't fit on it because it was too wide! Possibly might have helped if I was given the bracket that fits that starter :( But surely a starter from a 1.2 can't go on a 16v? Don't you need a lot more power to turn over a valver engine than a...

Wasn't the same and didn't fit :(

ps it would paste your rs :p

247bhp is nothing to be laughing about! least it isn't a body kit with a 1.2 in ;)

they had it coming ;)

Def vouch for that mark lad getting about a bit. shocking.
