Park it up and leave it - it'll be fine. (handbrake off as said) I went to view a v cheap 2010 Fiesta yesterday that hadn't started or moved in 18 months. Started on the button (didn't buy it though - long story)

Go for a Nilfisk C130 like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B006UCKWAA/?tag=cliospnet01-21 (you'll probably find it cheaper elsewhere) I had a C110 model before, and it was great. Upgraded to the C130 and the difference was massive. Much improved snowfoam, better cleaning all round really. I...

Is it just me that thinks theres more to it? Old clutch was slipping, new clutch fitted - still slipping, to me that points to something else causing the issue. If it were me, i'f strip it and investigate, but I suppose it depends on your level of skills and time availablity. I had a similar...

You must be using terrible drill bits then, or too high speed? Are you replacing the discs? If so then angle grinder to take the head off them, the disc will come off then. Best bet would have been to use an impact driver to start with, they would have come out then without any bother.

What country are you in?

As above really. I put 350+lb-ft through the front of my Volvo on a daily basis and get very little torque steer (It used to be a lot worse before I changed the bottom arms) Worth looking at rack bushes, TRE's and general suspension wear IMO.

When you say 'pushing on' what speeds are we actually talking? (on your private track of course)

Don't divide it by 4.4 as that's the wrong number. If you're going to do it, do it right. 1 Gallon = 4.546 litres

Really? The one I had says 200mb. I know there were rumours of 300mb on the internet but VM have never said that have they?

I'd have thought a slight smear would be normal, not a pool of it.

Get a proper courtesy car, or get your car back if it's driveable

Which engines are Renault built? I'm fairly certain all the diesel lumps other than the D5 are PSA/Ford/Mini engines?

It isn't. It's 200mb unfortunately and Upload isn't changing.

At least you'll fit in on Broadmeadows now! I used to stick out like a sore thumb in the R27

Is Virgin Media in your area? If so then that's the only choice really. Blows all other providers out of the water in terms of speed. 200mb download? Yes please. lol - what's it like back in the dark ages?

Easiest option is to use the 172 block and a 197 head and inlet I believe.

As above, have some bolts that lock in place mechanically. @dangerous dave Turbo is off to remove the two snapped bolts. They sheared flush to the face of the turbo so it had to come out to be drilled and re-tapped. Wasn't a hard job to get it off, took about 2 hours to get it off.

We Volvo drivers don't wave. A tip of the flat cap is sufficient. @McGherkin

They were the OE bolts that have been in and out a few times. I've got some decent ones to go back in.

I've got one but didn't use it (lesson learnt), they didn't feel like they were seized, they turned fineup to a point, then they gave up! I only had a tiny 1/4 drive ratched on there too, about 6" long so it's not like I coudl put much force on them. Maybe I over tightened them last week when I...

i know that, but i've had it off 4 times in the past without a problem, just seemed odd that this time they decided to seize in such a short space of time.

Was hoping to avoid copper based if I can help it

I've had a bit of an issue with my car where 2 of the 3 downpipe to turbo bolts had seized and snapped off resulting in me having to remove the turbo to get them drilled out and re-tapped. Now, these bolts had only been in for 1 week, so how they got so tight in there i've got no idea. I've...

The grease could be from a torn or spilt CV boot

So the decat had a hole in it? Surely that didn't help either. Do it properly or not at all.

Is it not easier just to throw a bucket of water over it next year?

What car is this for?

I personally would reuse the idler and tensioner as they are only a year old. So that leaves you needing timing belt, dephaser, camshaft end caps, top pulley bolts, bottom pulley bolt. I'm sure others will be along shortly with a more comprehensive list, that's just what I can think of off the...

This is the reason why i always take my car for it's MOT 20 - 30 days before it runs out. At least that way even if it fails I can drive it until it's sorted. I know that doesn't help your situation but worth considering for next year. £100 to supply and fit the Lambda is probably about right...
