No experience with them, but make sure you fit replacement units rather than just LED bulbs to avoid an MOT fail.

I have a feeling the Top Gear Botswana special was recently replaced on Dave...

Are you actually going to buy a Series?

You haven't considered how long it's left standing on the driveway leaking fuel between journeys. Or how much leaks out of the filler hose onto the driver seat when filling up.

Absolutely no idea, I'm still trying to figure out how to get the instant mpg readout on my dash.

Gearbox all seems okay, clearly some new parts of the outside but can't tell anything internal. Just finished fitting it and quick test drive seems like it's good. No leaks, smooth changes and doesn't pop out of any gears. Unfortunately even though the gearbox seems okay, I've still been...

11th April, he answered his phone at last and told me my gearbox has been collected from the wrong customers address and will be sent Tuesday to arrive Wednesday. All too familiar words... would apparently send me the tracking information later that day. No tracking into received. 12th April...

Can you register a Ford Focus as a Ford Fiesta still using all the original number plate, VIN etc.? Its essentially the same thing you're asking.

No, not without a good bit of work. Not to mention it being illegal.

Correct, strange concept and makes it particularly tricky to bleed but is possible with perseverance and the right tools. There is a way to link them up so the flexi goes to the bottom cylinder first and then to the top. Requires some more copper brake lines but a consideration.

I think pictures would help a lot here.

Was the retaining piece correctly fitted and bolted to the clutch fork? Easy enough to replace and not too expensive if it's worn or not there.

No, £10k didn't include a respray. Or the cost of 6 new tyres... Or the cost of 6 WOLF wheels... Or the cost of new sheet alu for the tub floor Or the cost of about 50m of wiring and connectors for the new loom... I could go on

Agree with Bobsticle above, I've found the nipples are loose especially with cheaper branded parts. Easy workaround is pressure bleeding or an vacuum type bleeder that drawers fluid out through the bleed nipple.

As a rough idea of time/money... I'm a mechanic by trade, full workshop facilities and free/cheap consumables and tooling. Budget was £5k and hoped to have it done in 8 months. Reality was over £10k and almost 14 months of evenings/weekends.

Bode, thanks for this input that's exactly why I created the thread... I wonder how many more are out there thinking they're the only one... I'll drop you a PM. As for an update to mine, managed to speak to him on the phone for the 1st time and tried blagging he's very busy and doesn't have...

Agreed, failure on my part there. Just hoping to avoid anyone else making the same mistake. If an admin sees this can it be moved to the General Land Rover section, or somewhere more people might see it?

31st March 2022, I was contacted by the other customer who receiver my gearbox and visa versa. He is in a very similar position, cannot make contact with the seller, has been waiting months for his to arrive, etc. The gearbox I'm expecting is still with him in Whitby, despite the seller telling...
