LOL! I didn't mean you don't need anything other than standard because you're Paul! I just meant you don't need anything other than standard, Paul. If you search older threads, when this was the height of discussion, you'll see Fred et all, saying that the only one worth upgrading is the...

Fresh plates, no stripes, some springs/coilovers, and different wheels. Then it may look fairly decent.

Having no dust cover it's no surprise it's seized like a goodun. You'd never get one un seized with a screwdriver though, not in a million years. Good rewind tool and you may have a chance.

You don't need anything other than standard Paul. Powerflex on the dogbone, with the other two standard but new, make sure the engine is positioned correctly so there's no knocks etc, and you'll be happy as it gets.

LOL @ Dawn having hers painted. Gally: "Ochhh but thi paint i like neuuuuuuu" Dawn: "But Kevin, if you look just there, in the right light, there's some RDS I can't get out from when a squirrel lept into my path when I last drove it in 2007" Gally: "Woman heeeiiiiid"

No worries, I can't remember off the top of my head what gear oil and what capacity, I think it's somewhere around 2.2L and possibly a 75w90 but I could be way off.

Drainplug is on the bottom, looks just like the engine oil drain plug iirc. Filler plug is a wingnut on the front of the box. Best way to fill it up is a length of hose and a funnel.

That'd be Revels.

12mm. (If you're referring to the balljoint bolt sizes)

Patter TBH. They're not rare car's, and parts are so readily available and cheap it wouldn't take much to pick up any car and turn it back into a "Standard mint example".

I look forward to this. Something actually new for a change.

Yes they're easy to change, there's a guide on here that you'll be able to follow easy enough. As far as I'm aware pattern parts are OK, but I'd see how much the Renault items are. When it comes to changing them, always change in pairs due to the way in which it could affect the handling of...

Click me and ask away. Luke will get back to you with what you want to know.

It's weird how much the turini's modernise the ph1.

How's life out there though mate? Seriously envious other than the experience of having no mates etc to begin with. If you've not been out there before, go check out Queenstown. I fecking loved the place. Wellington is pretty cool too TBH.

You're quite the collector it seems! Jesus.

Cracking motor, Christchurch was a bit quiet for me, but it may be better under the surface. Jealous of the NZ relocation though, big time.

It wouldn't be fun without all the niggles, surely it can't take much to figure out what's making the sunroof leak? MASSIVE towel below it, then watering can until you suss it, you should see it running in from the top if it's leaking that badly though surely?

Looks great. It needs wheels to make it look superb though. I assume you avoided using the pressure washer for now?

Springs have made that look superb!

That's strange that they're 18's, they look crazy small compared to my old ones:

Brake cleaner.

Why is this so difficult with spacers, get a tape measure, measure how far from the wheel to the edge of the arch, decide how far you want the wheels to sit, take this measurement, order nearest size spacers.

£3500 for something that can go wrong again in a year???? And you're not bothered about that? Jesus f**k.

There are internet services which let you do this, but you can't do it from your phone iirc.

You've got a bit handy eh wee man? I'm glad I got a run out in it before it s**t itself! :D

LOL @ Ginger. How are you finding it dude?

Plastic inserts? The bit at the bottom, you can often pick them up on here.

As said, pick up a new caliper second hand for pennies and you're sorted.

Nice pics there OP, picked up the colours well.
