Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a handful of bleed valves for a caliper today on a Sunday? Nothing open! South Wales area! (Swansea, carmarthen, Llanelli etc.) Stuck after changing brake fluid on my R26. Ruined valve! I believe it's an M10 but might need an M11 as a replacement.

Hi, Looking at buying an R26. The car I've found has had the timing belt change in 2009 under warranty (for whatever reason), but didn't have the waterpump changed. The belts are due in October this year, but the waterpump will be around 7 years old this month. I'll get the belts/pump changed...

Can anyone tell me why, when all three pulleys are slack, why my cambelt won't turn by hand? Does the crank pulley take a bit of force to turn freely? Can it seize? Belt is tensioned and the two nuts are in place on camshaft pulleys (but slack) and bolt is it place on crank pulley (but...

Had my cambelt slip a couple weeks back. Been researching everything since then. Spoke to dan@sjm who was very helpful and mentioned most of the time the valves bend and a new head/engine required. Signs that the aux had frayed, catching in the crank pulley, resulting in the slip. To cut a...

Hi quick question. If the timing is out on a car, how do I make sure the crank pin is in the right slot in the flywheel? (yes I know usually if it's out the valves are fucked etc etc.) Guide States to go by the horizontal cam slots. But if the timing is out, how can I be sure it's not going...

Can't budge core plugs that cover the cam shaft ends. Any tricks or tips? Thanks

I need to Jack my car up on a surface that is made up of chippings and duff. First time the trolley jack sunk into the ground and just kept sinking with more and more weight on it. Had to take the wheels and clean the bearings as they were full of Crap. Tried spreading the load with a piece...

Currently sitting in my car waiting for RAC recovery. 90% sure cambelt just gone. Pretty unsure where to go from here. Thought I'd post here to see if anyone else has had this happened. Engine rebuild? Claim on insurance? Thanks

Hi all, I'm changing my brakes on my clio and gotten as far as the caliper being seized and needing removal, so that I can see if it can be repaired or whether a new one is needed. That's all that's left to remove is the handbrake cable from the bottom and what I'm assuming is the brake line...

Hi, Had a go at repairing some paint chips on my bonnet. Had the paint chip kit from paint4u which contained everything for about £15. Ive cleaned and smoothed the chip before hand, before mixing some lacquer and paint and applying to the chip. I've finished rubbing down and the result is...
