Brian are you an ex-traffic cop? lol You give a lot of good advice Good driving Mark aswell

Yeah the plastic things for alignment, makes it ten times easier to be honest, but you'll get "Real mechanics don't use one" on here. The round thing will be the release bearing

Yeah they did the 8V in the Phase2's aswell but nowhere near as common as the 1.2 16Vs. Obviously the DCIs aswell being 8V

Grinding noise is your brake pads are metal to metal mate, get it jacked up and have a look at them, inners and outers. It'll fail an MOT aswell if they are.

Connections on the actual horn are poor, then just pick up all the crap that comes through the grill and that (its low down) Depending what model it is, you can get your arm down behind the light cluster and clean the connections.

If its running okay, and you've got 12 months warranty I'd leave it to be honest.

Have you replaced injectors or the diesel filter? If its the diesel filter, undo the bleed screw, then pump the primer (round black oval shaped thing) until diesel comes out. If your trying to get fuel from the rail to the injectors, crack off, and undo SLIGHTLY the pipes at the injector...

I've done one or two on the side like that GR7, there not much fun without a 2 poster, using a trolley jack for everything. Your arms look like you've been wrestling a grizzly afterwards.

Red 03 Plate, TZR. Fully Loaded lol. Rugby tonight down the Leicester road. In two minds about that red light lol In the black dci behind you. Seen you around loads was heading towards Gibbet Island one night behind you aswell, remember following you overtake a fair few cars

Yeah you've got 12 month warrenty on workshop repairs. Same again for the parts.

14mm long socket, 8" 3/8 extension and a magnet :rasp: Can be tricky though, I've snapped one before (Faulty plug, absoloutely shat myself though I'd cross threaded it) hammered a T-50 into the coil and undone it. Those long port things are pretty good though, no dirt can ever get down there

£96 for a set of plugs what an absolute joke 10 Minute job.

Have you got warranty on the repairs/injectors replacement?

Can't you get them sprayed the same colour as the car?

The amount of people on here that think its a really hard/complicated job, its just tight. Its nothing if you know what your doing. If hes got the locking kit tools/a bit of sense it'll be fine. Personally I'd take it to a specialist, or if your minted, a dealer lol Lmao at the comparison...

Mikey to find out which coil(s) is down manually, remove the engine cover, remove the 4 bolts holding the coils in, but leave the coils there. Start it up, and in turn, lift each coil, if you can remove it all the way without it making any difference to the engine - thats the duff one. You...

I'd get the genuine kit to be honest, not worth it in the long run even if it is a bit cheaper. Cambelts not something you want to take chances with really. Local dealer goes makes wooshing noises, in conjunction with your bank balance going into the red

Nice pics Al, think I'd soil myself in the first pick on my own if you broke down lol

Are reverse lights coming on? Don't know if it would make any difference can't remember if they're run via switch/ecu etc

Does sound a lot meatier, notice any difference in pull?

Yeah theres a lot of sense behind that seeming as thought they're only quids each. Has he pressure tested the head do you know? £600 is a little high, book times 10/11 hours. If you trust the mechanic though...

Bloody hell good effort mate as said above, I couldn't sit there for 9 hours doing it though

Around the 5 litre mark for 1.5 DCIs bobby. Run it up for a bit before you dip it aswell. Then let it settle again

More than likely its the connection on the back of the actual rev counter mate if thats what you mean? Does it just go to the 0 mark and do nothing? Try hitting/tapping it

If your not from Manchester, you should be

Thats why you shouldn't rush into buying cars off eBay, your bidding to buy, if your unsure, go look at it, then go home again and bid, isn't that the one described as having Xenons aswell Amazing what difference a £5 set of Number plates can make.

Wouldn't worry mate it took 10 years to get like that

No. Look at the blokes feedback

Not worth doing mate, flog the 1.2. Your doing alright if you can pick up a 1.9 with less than 100k on, thought they never die (just when your mates joke your car sounds like a tractor, they're not joking) Keep doing oil & filter changes you won't go far wrong.

I've never known of xenon problems from the UCH. Take the ballast pack off the back, clean up all the connections, if necessary leave them on a radiator overnight, (done this many times with Lag2's) re-seal them with silicone and get them back on. Technically, they've got they're own computer...
