Brembo HC discs, matching pads. As for fluid, some Motul RBF600 wuld do the trick. Contact @George@RTR_Parts he's the man for this stuff!

Because there is no need. It's a sealed unit and doesn't/shouldn't use oil like an engine does. The only time you need to check the level is when filling it up, which is done easily (fill it until it's full!)

Average mileage is what? 10 - 12k a year? So work it out using that. a 10 year old car on 100k is average mileage, a 5 year old car on 100k is high mileage. 10 year old car on 50k is low mileage a 5 year old car on 50k is average mileage etc. Take my Volvo, it's just coming up to 70k...

Should've just hit the cat tbh!

And don't bother with the spark plugs you've bought. Send them back and get a set of the proper NGK's

Gonna give him your thumb/finger too.........

maybe the auto level isn't working and they are pointing down too far?

Well worth the 2.5hr journey down to Mick I reckon. Never had any work done there myself but know plenty that have. Have only ever heard good things about his work.

Well if that's the game we are playing.......... lol I would like better upload though, I max out on upload far more often than download.

Must have been a very long time ago, the company near me have been around for years! Edit: since 2003

It might, however if it is indeed because it needs regassing you need to investigate the cause for the rapid loss in the first place. It won't leak out in 3 days unless something happens. It could of course be something else, but the usual cause of a non-working A/C is lack of refridgerant.

You do realise that satellite and wireless broadband are different things don't you?

Could have lost pressure, so the system won't power up. Not sure on the fuse though, but i'd say it's highly unlikely.

I'm certainly not saying it's the best idea, however it would be better than sattelite, and possibly better that the current connection?

No wireless internet options in your area? Near where I live we have this company (W3Z) who can provide internet wirelessly to your home. Various packages (none cheap!) You're looking at £40 a month for an unlimited 10mbps connection.

Yes, but only after a couple of days. My remap took care of that though.

All this seat talk, but then no pictures!?!

I assumed the op already had a PC, hence my noise comments. Obviously he could build something silent but I was going with the idea that he was going to use his current setup.

That list is just maintenence so will/would need doing anyway. Might be worth a second opinion on discs/pads etc. Just get the essential bits done and take it from there. Why does it need a cambelt, your original post says it's had the belt done? If you were to sell with a list of jobs like...

I don't think i've ever seen a car with a cover on the aux belt tbh. I'm sure some cars must have, but out of the 30+ i've owned and 50+ i've worked on I've never seen one.

You sure you can't get it with some decent mole/vice grips? Looks to be a good couple of mm free there. Failing that you could try some bolt/stud extractors. I have a set made by Irwin, but it only goes down to 10mm I think. They do sets with smaller ones though. They bite into the outside edge...

Clean and factory fresh (ish) is my preference these days. The only changes under the bonnet of mine at the minute are performance enhancing changes, nothing just for the looks. Here's how the S40 bay looks right now:- Upgraded MAF to turbo intake pipe, relocated ECU (Yes, it's cable tied!)...

I'd imagine at that sort of mileage it is just a tired engine and it's burning oil. How much are you having to top it up by? It is possible for it to be burning but not be visible to you as blue smoke, it will just depend on how much is being burnt. Look at it like this, if the oil level is...

Personally, I just use a Hozelock standard hose. Can't say I have any issues with it kinking really. Just be careful of the length on that one you've linked, it's only 15m. if your tap is on the back of the house 15m might not be long enough. The one I have is 25m and it's only just long...

It was included free with some red arrows.

Where you from? i'm guessing local judging by the location of that dealer

That's £4.5k! lol Missing services, servicing is 12k or 12 months whichever comes first so should still be done every year regardless of low miles. Belts need doing (+£600) Awful seats (personal opinion) Low spec (because CUP) That's worth half that price in my opinion. I'd rather buy one...

Fuel filter is 144,000 miles and is part of the fuel pump. It's unlikely to be that. My advice would be not to guess using bits of advice from the internet. Get it looked at by someone with the tools and knowledge to do the job. It WILL save you money in the long run. You could spend £200...

Link to the car for sale? £4k is top dollar for one of these, so a cup needing belts is not a good deal at that price.

Nope, all the 225/230 meganes had the same sort of set-up. The only difference with the R26 was the LSD. All 197/200's and all Megane 225/230's had the same sort of hub set up
