Depends where you look mate. Usually anything from £60 to £120 generally. You want the RS stamped lower half of the manifold as well. What year is your cup? Some of the late 53 plates had them fitted from the factory you see.
Lol! Many purple rinsers out on the sea front??
The issue I have with mine is how close the rear bumper was to the tyres. They've rubbed it away a fair bit now though. The scrubbing came from the tyres touching the inside of the wheel arch about 2" up. This was due to the compression of the...
Are you saying you've got the nuts off the back for the cap head screws? If so, put the nut back on so the thread is flush with nut and give it a whack with a copper hammer or a pin punch.
Either that or support the disc and hit the bell. You need to be central when you hit it though. Oh and...
Can you iMessage me a pic of your geo sheet? Can't see it clear enough on here. If the numbers positive it's usually toe in. Negative means toe out. If you've got 54minutes of toe in on the rear, you've got a lot of toe in as well! You ideally want toe out up front to.
You need to know what the rear geo is before you can say really mate. I'd say you'll not be far off tbh, but it all depends on how straight you're rear beam is.
I'd leave the rear toe as toe in by 1-1.5mm if I were you. If you run it parallel or toe out you'll end up with quite a loose rear end.
To check the steering arms for play jack the car up and hold the wheel at 3 and 9 o clock. Give it a shake from side to side and see if you can feel any play. It may well only be a small amount mate, so it could prove hard to feel at first. If in doubt get someone to shake to wheel whilst you...
Jack the car up and spin the wheels. Your looking for the tyres bobbing up and down to make sure they're not out of shape. Also look at the rim to make sure it's running true. A wheel balancing machine should pick that up, but they're only as good as the individual that's operating them. Also...
The thread pitch is m7x1 mate. Can't tell you the length though I'm afraid but I'd guestimate they're about 12-15mm long.
A bit of silicone at the gearbox and cambelt end would be fine. It's for where the main caps/front cover join the block. Other than that the oe gasket should be up to the job.
You'd be surprised at the noises they make mate and how soon they disappear! Laddo at works golf used to rattle it's bag off ticking over until you breathed on the throttle and it stopped. Left idling for another 30 seconds or so and it started up again. R26 R setup is the best way forward imo...
