I'm guessing you're fitting a Valeo unit? As that's about the only one that's worth fitting unless you want to do it again in a week's time 😂

Yeah that should do it. Mixed 1:10 and spray on and leave to dwell for a few minutes, then rinse off and wash as normal with a plain shampoo.

A Cup one won't fit the AC mounting positions. There's loads of alternators about that have that connection on the wrong way...

Sounds like tree sap to me. Maybe it's been partially washed off or spread around the car as you were washing it. Do you have any citrus pre wash or something to try all over the car to help break down the sap before washing?

That's correct. It's the trailer plated weight plus the car's max weight stated on its sticker.

I would too.

Usually the first week of October isn't it for Google stuff? Edit: 30th September launch event for both phones.

Meant to be alright. Mate is thinking of getting them for his C63.

Yeah if the flywheel was loose you'd know about it 😂

On closer inspection on the PMS website there are options for two types of flywheel. Standard clutch and race clutch. Assuming you have bought the standard clutch fitment option, there should be no reason it's the flywheel at fault here I'd say.

Worth giving Nick at PMS a call, he's really helpful. He'll be able to tell you if the specs of the lightened flywheel is different to OEM.

I think most instructors are like that initially, they want you to get the basics right so that you're in control of the car. They don't want to be in a precarious position when you're balancing on the brakes and blipping the throttle. In RWD cars it's even more important I think to prevent...

You love that limiter don't you 😂 If it's still on standard valves I would strongly advise not to bounce of it like that haha. Possibly practice some heel and toe rev matching on the downshift to be kinder to the drivetrain.

The release bearing should move back fairly easily I would imagine. Sounds like yours has seized itself in place for some reason.

Looking face on at the disc, if you were to push/pull the caliper is should slide. Once you've got the right spacers on there it should all fit really easily.

The reason you couldn't get your caliper carrier back on with the pads in is because the caliper slides in and out, or at least it should do. If you pull the caliper in and out it should move.

Loctite 518 is the stuff Renault use.

Different manufacturers.

I paid £60 for the Karcher one from CleanStore.co.uk, most places wanted £80+ £30 the stubby lance was.

Probably is a different shade of blue. My replacement was a Pilkington one i think.

Blue solar screen with the rectangle cut out in the centre just above the dash is correct.

Measure the size of the barb/pipe and just get a silicone blanking cap off ebay.

Yeah i fucked the Karcher tangled mess off a few years ago for their anti tangle one. So much nicer to use combined with the stubby lance from Autobrite Direct.

Possibly, although you'd tend to hear it slipping. Not sure that marking it would work as for every full revolution the belt does, the alternator pulley would do x amount of turns. Meanwhile the marks would only line up once every certain revolution.

Dead then.

14.5 mine is. Sounds like it's dead, but test it on the live of the alternator and earth to the body of it or something metal.

This is your cheapest option tbh.

Could get it drop tested. Not sure how/if you can do it with a multimeter...

As I mentioned earlier in the thread, 13mA is f**k all really. But it does sound like your alternator is dead if it's cutting out whilst turning lights on.... Maybe it's not been charging the battery after all, and that's why your battery keeps dying?

Yeah, M12 battery powered. £100 See quite a few at track days.
