Idle Speed Control Valve (ISCV) do a search on the forum for it, most common cause of valvers stalling, happened on mine few months back, think the ISCV was just loose...

Lol yeah I think they quoted me around £60+vat for a top hose? Look for people breaking cars on here, they come up pretty often tbh I would say that's your best bet unless you want to fork out for a silicon hose set...

Yeah think I'll try that, just spent last weekend fitting a new driveshaft for the other side cause of the CV boot and other stuff then I f**k this one I was pretty steaming...

Hm ok so after being outside till 11pm changing the rubber bush on the anti-roll bar I discovered that Id some how made a small 5mm tear in the CV boot nearest the wheel only little bit of grease had come out so I wiped it off and dabbed superglue over it and a lil around it, seemed to do the...

Was going to change the lower ball joint but I think it looks fine so not going to bother, just for future reference really for when I do need to take it off!

Yeah thats what I keep telling myself... So how can I get this disc off without hammering it? Isn't that worn so don't wanna wreck it... maybe get the hub off then put it in a vice or something but is gonna be a pain with the disc in the way...

You say that but it seems every single bolt and nut on the car has been done up to maximum torque some of them are a real joke! When I first got the car had to use a 2m steel pipe just to get the wheel nuts off...

Don't need it off that bad yet... but I already coated the back of the hub and the holes in WD40 :( Why do they seize on :S

Ok isn't the greatest looking audio install in the world but its far from crap! and the car doesn't look that bad either, hardly the worst ever :S

Brake disc on my valver?!?! Last muppet who owned the car must have superglued it on because no way is it coming off, been bashing it from behind with a rubber mallet and it isn't budging :( Just to check, wheel off, 2 holding screws for disc off, driveshaft nut off, 2 caliper bolts and...

Yeah I know :( but in the pictures they had about 14 holes in them so I thought they are bound to fit lol I'll remember next time!!

I just bought some alloys from ebay which were multi-fit but only two of the stud holes line up! Is there anything I can buy or do to get them to fit? If not I'll have to ebay them again :(

If you're using the old bearings you might be ok, but new rear bearings aren't cheap... plus pressing etc...

Forte advanced motor flush and Forte top end treatment. Best stuff you can buy, available from ebay or local garages as its trade only.

I would have been there but slight problem of no mot/tax/insurance and the driveshaft/gearbox oil/wheel/hub/disc was missing off my car... otherwise :p

Hope mine isn't like tht :S

yeah sounds like ChrisE he was in weston on sunday chavving it up :p

Lol I noticed the exact same thing is happening to my car was about to put a post up! But ill check the plug now ;)

Right so someone wants to tell me Halfords 5w40 fully syn. is the same as Silkolene dream on! You get what you pay for, you may like to think that Halfords fully 'synthetic' is the same as Silkolene synthetic but you would be very wrong. At the end of the day if you really want to keep your...

I don't think that one is too much of a challenge, I did the one on my 1.4RT just had to support the engine on a jack while you take it off (which I forgot to do till the last bolt and wandered why it wasn't coming off) but not sure on valvers?

Lol cheers for the bumps! Doesn't look too hard but I just imagine anything to with taking belts off is going to be a nightmare?

Cool cool thanks guys I'll try it 2moro when it doesn't look like Day After Tomorrow outside lol

Cheers I'll try that! Lost the radiator bleed valver stupid plastic crap snapped off so had to seal the hole :(

Replaced a hose yesterday and flushed the system through the bottom radiator hose, took out the thermostat gave it a gd clean... Put everything back go to fill it up I get about 1.5L of coolant in and the expansion tank starts overflowing?? Thought it took 7L but anyway ran the engine let...

I've only been to one garage in Northampton which was J&S Autos. Don't go there they will metaphorically get you in, tell you to get ure trousers down then shaft u up the ass! But a cambelt kit is circa £50 isn't it? on an RSI it isn't *that* labour intensive lots of space at least, compared to...

Even though the rim width is 8J?

Not lowered standard height, will these rub? :S

Think you could get 225s on them actually? Would these fit then?

*bump*
