Thanks, all

The two characters on the VIN plate are 'M6', so smaller disks are confirmed :-)

Rufe's profile is saying he's on holiday a lot this month. It sounds like the spacer is a genuine...

with you so far....



Not sure quite what you mean there. Are you suggesting it is possible to slide/adjust the caliper to accommodate a larger disc? Forgive me, I'm not a mechanic, and although...

My front brembo discs and ferodo pads need replacing. I'm reading mixed messages about what sizes are required.

I've got the receipt for the original fitting in front of me, and it states I have...

Dunno whether it's worth saying, but I also have a strut brace fitted. No idea if that would affect what you're describing. It instantly tightened the steering right up though.

How long since you had them fitted? Mine have been on for two and a half years, no problems.

Maybe the fault is your local council, and it's the potholes getting bigger, not your shocks getting...

£20 for the cable and £5 for the shipping?

Sod that, I've just ordered the bits from Maplin. ;)


Now I just have to figure out which head unit I want :confused:

You'll have to change the badge on the back. Can you get a "VW_2300" badge? ;)

Edit: Or would you actually need a "Volvo_2300" badge?

I'm seeing mentions of a lead from Autoleads, part no. PC3-14

I can't see at the moment whether it's designed to let you replace the head unit or the amp. Will keep searching....

I found this on swedespeed:



I guess it'd be the same for the sc901....

I'm gonna need one of these too, at some point. I've seen an article somewhere on how to make one, and I'm pretty sure there's a company in the States that sells them. I haven't bookmarked any of the...

Cool idea, but will it be as good at getting all the mess out of the bottom? I can't help but feel it'll leave more old oil in there than using the drain hole for an hour.

Anyone know? Anyone know...

My socket set was beginning to round the corners off the drainage bolt. I used an adjustable wrench in the end. Good job I'd planned to replace the bolt and washer anyway, so I had a new one ready.
...

Well, with the benefit of Andrew's strap wrench, a long ratchet, and some new swear words (I had to look them up), it finally came free. Anti-clockwise, as stated.

I have discovered that a vital...

Right, my neighbours have been taught some new swear words.

I'm trying to change the oil in my 2001 C70 T5 GT. After much effing and blinding the sump drainage bolt has come free, but the oil...

I used to have a knocking noise from the nearside front. The garage couldn't find anything wrong with the linkages, and suspected the inset. Once he'd pulled the strut out, we saw the shaft not only...

I found it a little tricky to put the fusebox mount back onto the nearside strut after the brace itself was in position. However, it went back on with a bit of grunt.

Then, after that you need to...

The strut brace was the very first mod I did.

I understand that the coupé's handling is better than the convertible's. Take it from me, the standard convertible's handling is freakin' awful. I'd...

I've been wondering recently what would happen if you stuck a 19T and a custom map on the 2.5l engine. ;)

If the C30 has the same T5 as the new C70, it's a 2.5 low pressure turbo which only puts out 220hp

Edit - just read the review - it mentions 217hp.

Edit: That excludes VAT, though

Plus there's the day off work (I'm a contractor), plus petrol and overnight stay, and however much I spend during the...

Haha - just been on the phone to them to book mine in too. The nice lady said she'd only just booked in an almost identical order to mine for next week - I guess that was you. :D

Mine's booked in...

Nah. Shoulda bought the crystal units instead.

:saythat:


;)

If you go for it, there's a tip I can give about locking the rear windows.

Mine's a 2001 model, and there's window switches for the rear passengers which operate the rear windows. The driver's...

Judgeninja, you've got a PM
