Ahh gutted! Not had any problems myself thankfully. Seem fairly relaxed in Yorkshire (touch wood...)

Get a small number plate and headlight washer blanks pls. Looks really clean though mate, you happy with the colour match on the cup spoiler now?

2118's, or go off the rails completely and just get some 15" 4x100 alloys borbets :smile: I saw someone with fifteen52 tarmac reps in 15" and really want some myself but can't find them anywhere.

Looks tidy, should've left a cs.net post-it on it.

I doubt he'll have lost hardly anything tbh, but always best to check the reservoir. It's the one behind the engine on the offside, not the powersteering fluid on the nearside... Also, are you sure you don't have a snapped cable on one side? The handbrake adjustment is easy to do if you dont...

Looks good mate, apart from that grill. ;) Should've gone for a smaller front plate though!

Was it making this noise as bad before the belts were done?

Only 9 years ago, but still a gimp.

😂

A silver clio 182 on the side of the m62 with another clio (I think) with its bonnet up. I was in a BG 182 passing, would've stopped but it was a bit of an awkward place. Hope you were alright and got sorted.

I do that anyway to impress the 14 year old. Just driven home from work and the pedal feels fairly high. Need bleeding then?

I'll weld them onto my calipers then as it felt so much better before. Seriously though it doesn't feel right. Was perfect before. 😂

Haha don't worry I will. Fingers crossed my nipples arrive.

The pads are fairly new that's the thing, and not at an angle at all. Think it just needs bedding in again properly? Very odd.

I've already put brand new sliders in so that's no worries. Only just got this car really so going through it all step by step. Bit of a pain really as im going home tomorrow so wanted the brakes to he working properly for the drive back. Will have a look in the morning see if I can turn it...

Thing is I hardly even moved the piston out. Had been hoping to avoid bleeding as that one's rounded but ahh well. I do have stainless nipples on order but bank holiday weekend means they won't arrive :( Will bleed it tomorrow and hopefully that solves it. Had a proper badly seized slider...

My brakes seem to be spongy now that I have changed my front sliders. I pushed out the piston on the nearside caliper slightly then pushed it back in. Was a bit of a struggle getting it back over the pads and required a slight tap with a rubber mallet. Think I have gotten air into the system...

This is true. I was kind of glad that the belts hadn't been done as I got it for a bargain, then could take it to a specialist knowing that it's fine afterwards.

Expect to have people knock money off if the belts havn't been done, even if you have taken this into account people will still knock money off. Having the belts done means more cost to you, but you can put this into the sale price and also will get you more attention as the cars ready to go...

I hadn't looked in your thread for a while, you were still struggling with the garage last time i did but what a change! That workspace looks 10x bigger/better now its painted, i'm very jealous. Hopefully you don't come across too many issues when stripping your loom. Looks like you're doing it...

Surely when it was taken in they should have heard that it wasn't right? Or afterwards when they must have had it running upto temp? I guess if you don't know if they're meant to sound like that you wouldn't know, specialists all the way. To be fair I was worried mine didn't sound right even...

I'd meant more by letting it get to temperature and checking whether it rattles to s**t. This shows wear, no? Pretty noticeable and i doubt that sort of sound has come right away.

Where did you take this to be done? I doubt the sounds from timing, no, as often it'll just s**t itself when you fire it up or run OK. Mine was well out, and ran fairly well. I'm guessing waterpump wasn't done either though, hope they checked this for leaks/wear.

I just saw your other thread, if its caged etc you may aswell strip it completely? Tar sound deadening is really heavy by itself!

Great thread, following with interest :) Needs clean front and rear plates.

Sounds like dephaser. Who did the work? Can't believe they didn't check for wear in the dephaser when they did it. Any self respecting mechanic would have done so. Makes you question the rest of the work done! Hope they used proper tools. It's belts off again for the dephaser to be replaced and...

Sweet, I don't think i'll be tracking anyway however much I want to! Hopefully i'll get some passenger laps in with people though. Anyone else bringing the Mrs? Mine wants to come with

Will I still be good to buy a ticket around July time? I'll definitely be wanting to convoy down.

Bradfords s**t. (That's not football related just a fact)
