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!

The oem clio cats run so low it's not even funny. I scrape onto my driveway with a decat that sits right up

Seems like a lot of work to catch the minority. Where did you hear this? Theyll be getting VAR out next to make sure the probe went all the way in 😂

What's changing?

I'll have a look mate! Need to clean all my pads out, never got round to it! I used a nylon brush to clean out the compound on each panel, do i need to do it more often?

30 quid, not been able to find one 2nd hand though so just went for it.

New rear wiper blank arrived. This is the fibreglass variant rather than the carbon as I'll be painting it satin black regardless. Mine has always been 'sagging' as it's a bodged genuine one that's had filler and fibreglass on the back. This new one should be loads better!

I can leave you a voicemail to replace it if you want

I get that, I really do. But there shouldnt ever be a need to just throw parts at a car hoping it will get fixed. I can understand how you can end up being in deep all of a sudden and at that point seems pointless taking the car away from where it is but another specialist might have found the...

Mine started buzzing since I had it off last time. Proper irritating

If all fails, remove the balljoint, undo the driveshaft nut (although you might struggle as these are 275nm!), remove TRE and then pull the whole hub off.

Sounds like the garage had absolutely no idea and was using your money to fire the parts cannon against it. I wouldn't be happy that parts kept being replaced without it solving the issue.

175 iirc. Shouldnt be that bad and an ugga dugga should definitely remove them. Try warming them up slightly, you're lefty loosening, right?

They're green and the pins are spread. On the connector theres that little bit of plastic above, if you prise this up slightly you can then put a smaller screwdriver down from above to close up the connectors. Spray with electrical cleaner too, or deodorant if you dont have any cleaner (actually...

Remove the plug and i bet the pins are green on the lights.

Wow, this is stunning! Hat's off to you for the work you've put in mate.
