  1. Ok, I'll level with you, based on experience the small increase in piston diameter from a 256 caliper to a 288 does not warrant a larger master cylinder, if anything a smaller diameter master piston will actually increase braking force due to the increase in mechanical advantage. So this is a no-brainer really, just buy a pair of complete struts from a scrappy with the 288's already on them, that way you'll definitely have all the parts you need to do the swap. Happy Easter.
  2. I'd be surprised if they're different, maybe one of the aspies crowd can pore over the parts catalogue and tell us if they're a different part or not.
  3. I had 256 front discs on my 100 BHP 1.4 16V Fabia and I upgraded them with Brembo Max discs and pads which was a useful improvement, however my tool-eater Fabia has the 288's and the difference is night and day, doubly so since I upgraded them with MTEC discs and EBC pads.
  4. It's nearly impossible unless you have a ball joint splitter as well.
  5. Just check DC volts across the battery before and after starting the engine, you should get 12.7V from a healthy battery before starting the engine and something around 14.4V with the engine running. To check rectification test for the presence of any AC voltage when running. Post results here.
  6. If you drive like Miss Daisy then you won't have any trouble, but if you ever descend a very steep hill or drive the car hard then you will experience brake fade due to steam bubbles forming in the calipers as the fluid temperature exceeds 100 °C Brake fluid needs changing occasionally.
  7. It's not crucial Crucian, but it's sill, as in window sill, inner sill etc.
  8. Jetex will have gone to a lot of trouble making sure the exhaust system meets the noise regs while providing the maximum performance increase. There is no chance whatsoever that deleting either or both of the boxes will pass the 74db MOT noise standard. Don't bother, you'll just create an illegal plod magnet which will fail the next MOT and annoy all your neighbours as well.
  9. It's happened to me once, the convenience module occasionally gets confused and thinks it's in a LHD car, usually it's due to random voltage fluctuations so it's worth charging the battery if you've been doing lots of short journeys.
  10. That's the oil pressure sensor, simply replace it.
