Did you remove the brake fluid reservoir cap before you pushed the caliper back?

Welcome mate. Have you checked how much lowering the car will affect your insurance?

All depends on how confident you are and your abilities. But for all the bits would probably cost less than half of an independent garage would charge for the same job

5k on a 1.2?! I'm only paying just over 1k on a 12plate 1.2 Clio with 1years driving, 1 years no claims, 1 accident and 1 windscreen claim

With the rocker switch make sure it's the type that has a little led that lights up in the on position

The law on windscreens is no chip or obstruction in zone a ( the area of windscreen directly in front of the windscreen and the is just slightly wider than the steering wheel) greater than 10mm. Or 40mm collectively in zone b ( the rest of the windscreen that is swept by the windscreen wipers)...

Re: Peterborough Meet? Well I'm definitely up for this then aslong as I don't end up being roped in to work.
