Do tell ;)

slippery slope, before you realise it you've bought sooooo much stuff and you never use them.lol. good luck with the new detailing stuff though mate.

get your cat modded. giving the benefits of a decat, less noise and no lambda issues.

yeah, brake fluid might work, but not sure what it will do to the plastic

shouldn't have to mess with dogbone etc though considering they haven't been messed with intially though.

I know you've got my guide Jon mate, if you just do the brake hose condom thing (rubber glove) then fluid will stay in the lines. When taking the calipers off remember they are full of fluid, so don't get any on any paint (could be why they calipers are flaking). To remove the fluid place the...

That's what I did come to think of it. Place the mount in rough position, put the cam cover on, put the 3 bolts in and tighten slightly. Then adjust and tighten the mount itself. Middle first followed by the outside 4 bolts. tighten and make sure all 8 bolts are threading easily, then torque...

If the engine is sagging then something will be rubbing down there. Fingers crossed he's not damaged your belts with the incompitance.

You need to torque them. Not sure if power drills can measure this, but i'd be amazed if they do.

can you elaborate mate? where is the plastic, is it smooth or textured? what type of paint?

they are easy to use mate. The DaveKG guide that J posted is perfect. I'd go for the menzerna polish option though. Get used to the machine, presure, amount of polish etc and you'll be fine.

yeah does sounds like they have tightened it up without supporting the block. Make sure they have torqued them up correctly too (62Nm on all 8 bolts)

call VOSA and report the garage. I'd definately complain. I'd understand if the supension was too bouncy, suggesting shock problem, but too stiff, the guys haveing a bubble bath. It's amazing how many random things people fail cars for.

nice pics. Doubt the guy holding the blower has been to a H&S course.lol. Turn your lights off next time though mate, might make a little difference ;)

Gearbox cooler? not heard of that being done before. Nice project mate. Obviously got deap pockets ;). How many tyres you need btw.lol. Holding the roof up? ;)

why you changing the engine Ian? yours broken?

lol class mate. get the wheels sprayed though

remove the caliper and press your weight on the piston, fluid will shoot out (put it on wood so you don't damage caliper)

contorversial mate, just put some exhaust paint on it. nice and black :)

if you can use a hair dryer, save your cash mate ;)

what tools do you need? spanner, drill, bolts. can't think of much more

no wonder it took a while lol. Probably be doing that myself as i don't have a heat gun or a blow torch :D

what you use on the heat shrink ben? heat gun or blow torch at a distance?

nice :approve:

Find that a bit hard to follow myself. Presume there was other stuff that took them so long to do it? Only thought It would be an hour job tops.

christ that thing shifts. whats the spec?

Are you planning on putting a terminal in the engine bay so you still have a point to jump start if needed? Also makes it much easier as you only have 1 wired to thread into the cabin rather than a few.

He never did it mate. never got round to one.

I'll be doing one soon :)

yeah that's true, forgot about that.
