You might be right actually, i've never noticed! I replaced the nearside (iirc) a while back as it had some internal cracking, i'll look at polishing this at the weekend to see if it improves. Sure it looks fine in person. Haha, yeah! Was my leaving do before I went back to uni for my final...

Cheers mate, it's certainly had a lot of work put into it over the years!

Replaced the top mount bolts with zinc plated M8 x 20's and then also fitted the correct m10 bolts into the strut brace as it had arrived with M8's. Zinc plated again too. Using the car as a daily doesnt half make it filthy, 3 days since I cleaned the bay and its coated again. Glad I dont just...

182 cup pack is the bottom. Non cup packed 182s use a thin ring

Usually just google the registration and put it in speech marks. Click images and if it's ever been on here and someone has posted a photo of it itll come up.

Tbf you can use small ones you just have to position them perfectly.

Just find some clocks of a similar mileage tbh and replace

Presume it's looking for a resistance. Do clios without this sensor have the same bit of loom?

Dan's a true yorkshireman though so he wont pay that 😂

I'd still say ad08rs. People who seem to say they're crap havnt actually used them

Kris had you like this didnt he? 😁😝

Is that right seat wonky enough

I've bought some m5 flanged button head bolts with some Form C washers. Plan on just using flanged serrated nylocs on the back, easy to buzz on and off with a rattle gun and a spanner.

Or just keep the standard latch

Mine are starting to look similar, I've looked inside the rear quarters and they're absolutely sound in there. Plan on getting it sorted at some point, im in no huge rush now though as if they need cutting out anyway makes no difference really.

Ordered some m5 x 12. Already have some m5 x 20 flange button heads coming from along the sills. Cheers!

You have to drill out to fit these though no? Isnt the standard hole for 4.8mm rivets

Wicked. What length did you get mate?

Did you rivnut them or just nylocs held from behind when tightening?

Looking to tackle the rust behind my petrol flap at some point soon, but before i drill out the rivets just wondering if anyone knows the size of them? Has anyone just replaced them with some button head bolts? Will be easier to remove and clean behind in the future too. ta!

Gave the car a wash, having used a ceramic detailer last time this was a breeze! As it had been a year since the last service I gave it a quick refresh with some genuine elf oil and a new genuine filter. Gearbox oil was done with MTL in september when the box was replaced, so no huge rush on...

Got to drill new holes because premium seats 👌

You dont need to remove the box completely to do the clutch fyi. Just split it

Yeah I've got 4 for sale, £20 for them all as they're just gathering dust. I run a universal one as a post cat and it's absolutely fine.

How did the fuckup powdercoating a brand new part?

Leave a negative google review. They dont like it when you do that

What I'm getting at is it seems like a lot of work for very little gain. Wonder what the percentage of cars with 'dodgy' MOTs is right now. You've still not quoted your source for this

A car can still be rotten and pass though? Cant plug into an obd for that

I think from this thread alone I'll never use this 'specialist'. Amazing going to the expense of a new engine and then swapping unknown quality parts over. And you still want to take it back to him and have confidence he will sort it!

Welcome all!
