I've a set of braided lines spare actually ;)

Pop the caliper in a vice and knock the handbrake cable end through it. Presumably Big Redd loosen the nipples off calipers before refurbing them, as you'd hate to get them back and have bad luck shearing them. If you've left the glove on the end, it's probably melted through it by now...

He doesn't want Rob to see his rather alternative list of favourites I'd imagine.

Are you still no better off than you were 5 hours ago, or have you made no progress whatsoever? Just think what you could achieve in 5 hours. It's a long time, especially to be frustrated for that long. Day wasted?

Indeed. Have you asked if they can do that for you? Might be worth suggesting.

What brand of splitter is it ?

JJC are well priced for those. If you go for a 5/6 point harness, pop a hole through the floor and use a spreader plate underneath.

I've used a few LUK clutches and not had a problem with them personally.

I was in a similar position Steve. I hardly used my phone at all, yet they still insisted on a large buffer within the direct debit to cover any calls I may use. I think my package was £34 ish yet they took around £50 each month iirc. Annoyingly when they sent the quarterly statements, they...

Is it an atual campsite affair or pitching at the side of a lane?

Where are you based BIG WILSON? Even £60 is overpriced for a door IMO. As you've probably noticed the drivers door I have is keyed but I'd do you a cracking deal on the pass side if you are local enough to collect.

I've a Hetty. Knock the Turbo button on and you'll be reet. Mrs uses it for hoovering the floors, I use it for cleaning up after building work. It loves it.

Out of all the action days I've been to (several) - there were less incidents than usual IMO. I would say that's mostly down to people appreciating it was damp.

Superb. Thanks for the confirmation Mick :)

I've someone interested in my 172 Cup gearbox - to go in their 182 Cup. I've read conflicting information, and want to be able to correctly advise the buyer and not sell something not fit for purpose with speedo issues. I read the following: A 172 Cup gearbox will fit any mk2 RS 1*2, the...

Yep.

Buy my 850 shitter.

Do you have time / space / inclanation to deal with (some) idiots to make it worth breaking? The dismantling is the quick and easy bit. Don't underestimate the time required to communicate with people, pack and send parts. If you don't want to go down the route of an engine replacement, then...

T5 Vs 172 Cup:

This will be interesting. I've recently bought an 850 T5 and it's laughably quick. I've done around 400 miles in it and yet to get over 17mpg. The fact the lambda light is on and there's probably a fault somewhere won't be helping. Hoping to take it to Combe in a couple of weeks so look out.

I'm not 100% sure why, but they do very very little for me. Even if they were 2k rather than 20k -I just don't think I could buy one.

If you do manage to knock more of it off when cleaning it, is it really going to be an issue if you are going to get the full bumper resprayed? Clean that area lightly - not with a sandblasting nozzle like previously. A big shitty scene sticker will attract more attention to the area than if...

That's because you are not a paid member. If you pay for membership you get access to those sections, along with many others of interest.

I imagine in that sitution they would state that the corrosion checks are a 'once over' check on which any marks are mentioned. I've had cars which have had sheets in the history folder mentioning scratches and scrapes which were no longer visible in my ownership. I would have thought if I had...

Brilliant. Thanks for the clarification. I'd have really liked the ability to press 6 and then the arrow once - but not to worry.

A quick query if I may. I've a standard OE radio/CD player from my 2002 172 cup. Are the numbered buttons supposed to select tracks on a CD - for example if you were listening to a CD and pressed 4, should track 4 start? Mine never would. Neither of the numbers would select to relevant track...

I can't see them being much at all from Renault if that's what it is. Get your head under and have a look and see. You may have to remove the fabric/foam cover from the end of the 'box to see it.

The outer arches often hide rot on the existing arches don't they? Is that something you can easily inspect visually?

Nice example. Did you source a 306 GTi6 master cylinder? I have one if not.

I just lift the wiper arms up and wiggle back and forth. Never failed me.
