Not to mention if have been done incorrectly in the past it can takes ages to sort, my mates megane's old discs had no copper slip on the hub and the disc was so bonded to it we had to hit it with a stab hammer to get it off !
I'd make a list of tools you will need and go from there, if you have not got the tools I wouldn't start - It's a precursor for a lot of swearing.
If you have the tools just read up on the guide's but personally I wouldn't be touching the brakes if i was not sure what I was doing.

Cheers Fred, I'll get the cash together + contingency. 2 small questions I'm guessing you will need to hold onto the car for a few days and as the engine is coming out would you change the manifold to a 4-2-1 ? Only reason I ask is because I hope this is the last time it's out and there an arse...

Most of that noise is from the gearbox although it is difficult to make out, there isn't alot of noise coming from the cam cover area - more from the middle of the inlet which im guessing in the injectors
Got a strange niggle (That will no doubt end up being a huge issue) from the gearbox that I've not seen before. Basically on idle the car ticks, now the confusing part is it isn't the engine its the gearbox ! Looking at the fork I can see it wobbling like mad :S depressing the fork lightens the...
Just been through this one myself, it takes time (Took me 2 days) to get right but the quality was good. Small drill and take off the rubber connector between the door and car and enlarge 2 of the holes (Some are unused and some have wire in them that serve no purpose, just check to see if it...
