jimphudson replied to jimphudson's topic in Wheels, Brakes, Suspension and Steering
Thanks so much mate really appriciate that -
I tried to jump in on someone elses thread for an answer but failed.I am about to change rear discs, pads and bearings.I spoke to someone about the way to do it they said there would be a bolt or nut in the middle of the breakdisck to hold it on( a fairly big one). If this makes sense does anyone know the size as Ill have to get bthis before I attempt it. cheers all

alright all the handle on the passenger side of my vr (97 eleci windows) does not open the door.I managed to get it to open to look at the lock, but can not get it out as there is a metal runner running from top to bottom with a silver wire behind it. the bar is held on by two 10mm nuts undid them but the bar would not move so can not get the lpock out. tryed putting it back together and the nuts will not go back. Any help with either prob welcomed i know its probably real simple but i cant work it out.cheers

Alright all just wondered if anyone can shed some light on this for me. I have some porsche boxster wheels to put on my car the fronts are 7x 17 et55 the rears are 8.5x17 et 50 i had a look on the calculator at the top of this page and got back inner clearance 34mm less and outer extended 4mm and the fronts inner clearance 20mm less and outers retracted by 20mm. I guess this means I need 20mm adapters on the front what would you recomend for the backs 30mm or 35mm anyone done this and knows any advice would be great cheers all sorry for rattling on just want it perfect first time.

What is this piece called. HELP!!!
jimphudson replied to jimphudson's topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
Thanks for the reply Ill be getting one from the ford dealers then. Took me a while to reply as I bought a manifold cover to polish up. I fitted it and the car would not start after much trying to find the problem it turns out the manifold i polished and put on had some packaging from postage stuck in it which was sucked into the engine. Resulting in no combustion in 5 out of 6 cylinders. In the garage now estimated repair bill of £550.Anything you would recomend doing/ replacing whilst the engine is stripped down? Thanks again for the reply . Ill be on the bus monday morning to the ford deal -
Whilst trying to fit a new polished manifold cover, I have split a pipe, the one from the back left of the rocker cover where the initial pipe, after about 1 inch joins to ......?? Can anyone help me and let me know the name of this part. I really would appreciate any help, please.
