Gates kit is identical to OEM. Same pulleys in most brand name kits too actually

if you're not in the motor trade, you'll be breaching terms of the policy. I think you have to sell something like 2 a month minimum (depends on insurance company) to be a part time trader. I have a mechanics policy so dont need to buy and sell, but do have to provide invoices of recent business...

i've removed several

just buy one and make sure it's cheap enough to cover the cost of the work. I'd personally do the belt on anything that i bought that i havn't known for a long time. Seen enough 1.2s with belts cocked up, let alone 172/182s. Independant dealers tend to use the cheapest possible option and...

did they do any work to it, or just the MOT? the servo pipe is quite far away from the exhaust manifold, or any other heat source. I would say that it's not a very hard fix

Coming into Bedford from Biddenham direction about 9 last night. Looked hard as nails. Serious head turner :)

that makes it sound like your vvt pulley (or dephaser as it's called) is broken

i'll do you a step by step guide 1. unscrew lock-ring

leave the car on the ground and the weight will hold it still. Prob want to loosen the center nut a turn at the same time too, just dont remove it yet

the nut being on is holding the spring in compression. If you remove it, the spring will go ping and extend to full length. Makes less difference on coilovers, but still shouldn't do it. a drift, as in something you hit with a hammer, like a blunt chisel or similar

dont touch the nut until the strut is out. JUST remove the outer lock ring with either a C-spanner or a drift and hammer if necessary

Re: One Year on & £**** spent nice cage! you keeping it as a "y" or going to compete the "x"?

they send you to mardigras....

I "think" I did the belts on that when i was at GDI

sounds like crank sensor to me

on a mk2 easily....mk3 is a PITA

it's harder and more complicated on a mk3 than a mk2. Seen a lot of mk2 and mk3's done wrong though (mostly with regard to the tensioner). Worth going to someone who's done a lot of them. I was doing 2-3 a week at one point. Locking tools are a lot simpler than F4, but still need to be used right

very. 4 torx bolts, 4 plug leads, and 1 loom connector

look at the bottle. If it says ACEA A3/B3, it's perfectly good to use. They wont make their own oil, most likely it's Comma in a unipart bottle, and guess who makes Halfords oil ;)

you only get a teaser ;)

calibrated torque angle hammer?

there's always a little spring in the VVT pulley which makes it move slightly. Should be pretty minimal though. Sounds ok how you've done it

i'll keep my eye on this thread. A chance i'll be in the area again :)

calm down, it's only a phone

I'd never do a 1.6 16v cambelt withut doing the water pump. They're very problematic

Biggest waste of time EVER. Dont waste the physical exertion of undoing the shock nuts.

Only just seen this Sweet :D !!!!!! I knew there was a reason for paying attention to seemingly pointless details :D

I dont think HKS ever called a turbo "GT28". Suspect its a Garrett GT28R, and there's no way that's doing 300 at 15psi

mine's LOW. Handles fine. Arch gaps FTL
