Cheers guys.

I hope so Adam. Tightened everything up and added a few more clamps. Rob checked it and said it seemed fine but said to swap the jubilees for mikalors in time.

Make sure they are genuine mikalors, you can get cheaper copies for 1/3 of the price, I used them and they are rubbish. Will be replacing with mikalors ASAP!

I've seen some on eBay but they're unlikely to be genuine due to the price. Where would you get the real deal ones from??

Demon Tweeks, or even JJC Race and Rally which is a sister company of Demon Tweeks and quite often a lot cheaper. Only difference is that JJC is a mail order only.

A few pics from my hols:

 

Great pics. Where did you go?

Went to Torquay for the week, though the top 2 pics were taken on a road just east of Newquay and the bottom pic taken in Dawlish.

MIddle picture is near the top of the hill leading down to Watergate bay

That's the place. I couldn't think what it was called.

 

Both the top and middle pics were taken in the same location, though only noticed after posting the pics that the lay-by has got double yellows. Good job i didn't stay long.

Eibach Pro-Kit and Bilstein B8's ordered, just hope one of the offers to help fit from earlier in the thread are still available.

Tried to fit my springs the other week, could not for the life of me get the bottom of the strut out!

Can be a bit of a pain make sure you spread the hub and the O/S will need the hub taken out with strut as the driveshaft hits the subframe when pulling the hub down from the strut

Adam knows his stuff.......fancy fitting mine when they finally arrive.

Hi dude

Just had a good read

Not to far from you. Only over in wolves.

Be nice to see your boost pipe at some time?

I'm actually living in Surrey mate but still visit family in Stourbridge. I'm actually heading back this weekend but have plans. I'll let you know when i'm next about but if you're interested in doing it, i would say it's worthwhile. Have you read the thread by CarlvRS??

Have you had the fault codes read??

No I don't have a reader

Hope I get it booked into mackenzies in Lichfield tomorrow

Left it on the drive for now.

I think it's to do with the boost leak? But I am not sure

Is it driving in limp mode, sluggish??

Well that sounds like a ball ache

 

What do you use to spread the hub?

You have no chance i hate doing them.. Only if i really have to at work lol

Im not a fan if im honest but some people do like doing these jobs and some just get on with it

Can get hub spreaders or i have used a chisel when no spreader to hand just make sure you dont aim it at the shock and it should be ok but to be honest with a lot of force and a little wd40 i have managed to get most hubs off without using a spreader
