Well I guess that settles it then haha!

They aren't too expensive anymore, they used to be hundreds but now they are going at £120 which is sure more than normal, but... They look sooo nice! 😂

Hey all! I am installing a new Thermostat on my Pre 2001 Xei but will need the new hoses and was looking at spicing it up a bit, has anyone used the kit from Stoney Racing, are they any good? If there is any mod I like it is coloured coolant hoses. Thank you!

This is the one: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/315640840914?_skw=transfer&itmmeta=01JBW8XEX12W7NHP3WQSWNTWK9&hash=item497da902d2:g:xBMAAOSwnLRmqeL3 be careful though, I cannot be sure on their reliability or even if it works to begin with

Quite the distance but I saw some guy on Ebay offering a "good" IRD from a post facelift for £75 as I bought an engine from them to tear down but didn't want the IRD... In Manchester

This is actually what we are tempted to do, not sure if we will go with some 1.5mm Aluminium or something like treadplate as we can make them look really good!

Thank you! Looks like in my order for bolts I ordered most of those bolts. Compression check is a very good idea didn't think of that, will get on it. My thought is that the engine say for a while and ib didn't take it apart before installing just ran an engine flush through it and a...

Hey all! I spent the last 5 ish hours getting bolt sizes and ordering hundreds of bolts for not only spares but since replacing the engine gearbox and Prop I have lost many-a-bolt Mainly the skid plate bolts, I had them in a tub, and as the car has been off the road for about 6 months during...

I was thinking about this and understood that the flywheel almost always needs replacing or surfacing, though I don't think that is viable on the FL2 Flywheel as it is divot-ed, however in my Nissan Juke, I recently fitted a "UniClutch" and it was great! granted much more expensive than the...

Hey all! Bit of an unusual one from me, I have my eyes on a TD4 FL2 that is going for £650 with only 60K Miles on the clock as the clutch has gone and they cannot afford to change it, how hard is a clutch replacement? I believe that LUK is a decent brand? Do correct me if I am wrong. My...

Took her for a long drive to Ikea still bedding in the new clutch, got about 100 miles to go, she lacks a little power with some blowby but hoping a few oil changes should sort that out looking to buy another motor for parts that broke on mine found a good one about 3 hours away so that's next...

Damage to the Propshaft and VCU (4WD) applies to all wheels and tyres! Always replace in 4's if you are using 4WD

They'd be a smaller tyre so they may interfere with your speed-o-meter as long as you abide by any speed-o-meter regulations in your country as they can only be so far out, I use something like google maps to measure "real" speed when installing smaller or bigger wheels/tyres on my cars. Be...

It was quite a pain for me to get that one in on mine, quite impressed they fitted it in reverse???

If you are in the UK Timpson's can clone the key for you or at least they quoted me that they could, however I replaced the battery on my fob and that fixed mine...

Haha! Don't learn if you don't try 😂 Ah pop rivets are a really good idea! might need to do that instead... Thanks!

Followed your guide to install them!!! :p But yeah the replacement handle is a grab, so much easier, gonna get a family friend to weld up that rust so I can paint over it and prevent it happening again, I presume it happens when tightening down the bolt it scratches the paint then water gets...

Replaced the rear glass to the new one now and it closes itself nicely, need a new rear handle though, my one was 100% broken in about 16 places, so that need to be renewed, the rust is quite bad so may need some welding to sort but nothing I can't fix. Glass Everywhere Also Removed the 50-60...

I mean at the same time 😂 one then the other, I always replace brakes in either pairs or full sets, normally if they are rotors all round then full sets but if it's FWD then really only need to do 2 at a time but always replace in at least pairs! Did the drums on my one only about 6 months ago...

I refuse to do 2 drums at a time! I can't even keep track of 4 bolts let alone 2 drums and all their silly springs and installation order 😂
