I think the apt saying at this point is penny wise pound foolish 😟

Wow wasted effort bud you just don't do that with key components buy new.

Yeah mine is same just under passenger side.

I think they will be fine with a clean up and now I've done all the interior dark should look good.

Yep it's a full set in black only needs a good upholstery cleaner £125 the lot think I might treat the old furbie 😀

Guess who Ok so will a set of front seats of a mk2 5j fit mine please ???

Ah yeah I forget I'm one of the lucky ones with bolts not rivets 😁

I also had this happen you can buy a complete replacement window regulator the whole panel for around £30 and it literally takes like 30 mins to swop out mate.

Very nice tip 👌

You sir are a fountain of knowledge good top know I put them the correct way round thanks again

Cheers mate I've swopped them out now with better ones. One last quick question when fitting new rear brake cylinder should the pronounced lugs on the pistons be facing towards the back plate or outwards ???

If it makes you feel better I can top that I managed to hit a gate post on my mtb do a superman over the handle bars and fly head first into a very well concreted in dog **** bin broken collar bone 2 ribs and a wrist do imagine me behind the wheel 🙈

Got to ask empty field just a big concrete lump were you doing a bit of the old Tommy makkinen lol 😆

Ah got you and my car has the same lugs on it I understood that there is an adapter kit if you want to convert but there are other parts needed may work out on the expensive side unless there are donor parts can be used.

Is that a rarb on it looks like it if so that explains the other 2 holes as its for the height you want to set it.

Just a quickie the rear wheel cylinder retaining bolt what tool fits this please is it an 8 or 12 point and size ???

I was going to say be better off just going for an all round set of coilovers you can pick up some decent sets for around £250 and when you way that up against new shocks and springs front and rear plus pump stops and fixings provs not any difference price wise.

Ok so got round to the furbie today ive now got the top pipe/cat off it was leaking at the flexi pipe and a bit at the gasket as well so that explains the issues hopefully. Issue im having is the flared joint on the middle silencer that the cat pipe goes into had 2 clamps on it and its been squashed in quite a bit so im now not able to slip the top pipe in. Is there any helpful hints out there as to how I can flare this joint back out,I did phone 2 local garages close to me but they not interested they just want me to buy a new middle section which im loathe to do as this one is in really good condition.

There you go then just look for stance+ on ebay they do them and wheel spacers if you need them.

Just remember depending on fronts you may have to purchase a set of reduced anti roll bar links I think it's usually 40mm and above but best to check.

As the guys said buy a cheap generic code reader but based on ehat you said and if you can hear it blowing sounds like your issue is fuel consumption increased or lack of power or acceleration ???

yep me to got both and ive found them a great upgrade.

Im using the phillips as well and I have fly eye tints on the headlights and the mot guy said they are perfectly fine and were giving plenty output.

Also known as a bucket and sponge lol 😆

I will do a test once mine is fixed lol atm mpg and performance is shot.
