Also done mine and indeed u can really tell the difference , fun getting at the back bolts , managed to get at them from the engine bay with a uj and socket
I used 15mm flexi head ratchet spanner, to be fair it was only the drivers side front that was a problem, all the rest were removed and new fitted in under an hour each.

I just used a cheap flaring set ive had for years, never had any problems trick is the pipe has to be cut nice & straight
& file the edge of the pipe (small chamfer) an youl get a nice round straight flare
Ive seen lads in the garage using snap on one's & they still cock them up cause they're new age fitters
not old school mechs like us lot

Gave up trying to get hold of a solenoid repair kit for the starter motor and just replaced the entire unit
Also, a new rear door latch arrived, always nice when the parts have a "genuine" label on them.

Did you try fitting the solenoid kit?
or take the new one apart to see if it was loose?

I bought two repair kits, but both of them had something wrong with the plunger arm. The original plunger was completely rigid, but both the repair kits had a wobbly arm on the plunger so didn't want to use them. You'll tell me now that they could have been used?
I've still got the old starter motor, so if that's the case, then I can fit one of the repair kits to it so I've got a spare starter.
Edit: Link to existing fred about the wobbly plunger.

It's been so dry lately I don't even have the (dis)pleasure of sitting in the house and watching the Disco rust through the window.

Managed to get a (not very good as taken from video) picture of the fuel pressure regulator with the engine running. Seems to suggest a small leak.

Well, if I'm going to do it, then I'm not buying cheap!
The only reason why I got rid of it originally was that cash was tight, and I just wanted the car to work. Now, cash flow is a bit easier.
