Going to leave me for dead next week at Oulton!

Call him Fast Phil 😂

Galvanic corrosion yeah.

Should do. The inlet and top of the engine don’t get mega hot really compared to other parts.

I'd think it could be either the thermostat or the coolant temperature sensor.

I think the ones at the front might be M6 x 62 with the part number 77 00 106 428 and the left ones might be 77 00 106 429

Thing is with seats, if it's a decent one you can always sell it for not much less than what you paid for it.

Yeah mate :up:

They're non FIA rated, so that will reflect in the price. Probably doesn't have the structure of an FIA approved seat, so will flex a bit more i'd imagine. Even if you're not competing in races, i'd still go for an FIA approved seat just as a safety thing.

Could fit the bolted type diff from the JC5-130 if yours doesn't have it already.

Can meet up this weekend if you're free, swap a few things over and try them?

I'd look at investing a bit more (man maths), and get a 20T if you can. I'm sure my mate only paid about £150 years ago for it. Maybe worth looking at a second hand one.

Might struggle with 6 ton... The one we used at a mates to do Niall's was a 20 ton and it took a fair bit to 'crack the seal' so to speak. £40 for both is fair really, as Phil said the outer race almost always gets stuck on the hub flange, so takes a bit of careful grinding to remove it.

I've had it bubbling out of the reservoir cap, don't know if that means it's boiled though.

They do say Oil OK and you can press the trip reset when the message is on to reveal OOOOO, which shows the level. Not sure how accurate it is though.

Must have been on it's way out anyway if it was 'running dry' of oil. Unless you were checking it once every 3 years 😂

😂

That would have made your rears nearly 18kg haha 😂

It's not that much mate, Simon is right. 9kg and 11kg so roughly 500lb and 600lb.

Change the key fob battery and see if that does it.

Yeah i have. Also got a spare cap for the back too.

Do the belts when the engine is out of the car, i'm guessing you were planning on doing that anyway. Much easier.

Could be the ballast. Want to try one of my spares and swap it for that igniter?

Starter motor heatshield is a pretty important one, they soon die without one.

I'd set aside 2 days at least if it's something you've never done.

A wipe over afterwards with ACF-50 may protect it also.

Castrol React SRF if you've got deep pockets. Motul 660 is about the next best.

I'd say they're about the same mate, really high metallic content in both. CL's tend to crumble more too.

Just weighed one and I was close.... 17.8kg

Had 3m X 4m waterproof gazebo set up over mine all day. Stopped raining about 1 o'clock here. Fitted my rebuilt calipers too with new PBS pads. Came across Niall on the motorway when I was testing the brakes. 😂
