Sorry to hear that. Do you have dashcam footage?This was the damage….a young lad in a fiesta didn’t give way at a mini roundabout, and driving too fast.

Either that’s a really small armchair or you’ve had a growth spurt lately.
I’ve just put up a separate post on this, the lad who hit i will settle it between us without involving the insurance. We’ve done ok out of itExpect that to be written off
No worries if it still drives straight buy it back if the insurance co
It is a really easy fix to fit a second hand front bumper plus it is the very common silver so you will find one in the correct colour

Yes we have a dashcam, but it’s in the Volvo that we bought the A2 to replace typical! Had it for 3 years and it’s not been needed!! Sod’s law! Datsun??? I had one when I was 19, sold it 3 years later, and it turned up on eBay 20 years later, so I bought it and restored it. Super rare now.Sorry to hear that. Do you have dashcam footage?
Why Datsun by the way? I do love old JapCrap as a good friend used to say (although I didn’t agree with him at the time).
It’s a Cherry 100A isn’t it? I recall a Y reg one at the end of my road in the mid to late 80s.Yes we have a dashcam, but it’s in the Volvo that we bought the A2 to replace typical!

excellent spot. That’s my little girls armchair. She’s a bit big for it now really but won’t allow it to leave the sitting room!Either that’s a really small armchair or you’ve had a growth spurt lately.
That's the 120A Cherry coupe I think. Late 70's / early 80's for sure. When was the last time you saw one of those?It’s a Cherry 100A isn’t it? I recall a Y reg one at the end of my road in the mid to late 80s.
Thanks for the heads up shall refrain or use with caution my pressure bleeder, that said my preffered method is to undo bleed nipple and push pedal to floor. Then suck the fluid thru (this requires a compressor mind or mity vac) lock off bleed screw and pump clutch pedal and then suck once more with pedal up for good measure. This is based mainly on Fiat Ducato's works a charm, but imagine will work on most!Something to do with seals being compromised in their position by the extra pressure or something I recall Howey.
Ohh yes i never push the brake pedal to the floor (as an apprentice was constantly told not to especially in Vauxhalls) unless thats the only option!@Howey
Please do not push the pedal to the floor. The normal travel on the pedal produces an amount of build up at its end. If the pedal is pressed further than that this could damage internal seals. I always place a block of wood on the floor to prevent the pedals being pressed too far down. Just remember to remove it before you drive the car! Less important on the clutch pedal as it does normally travel full stroke when used.
While pressure bleeders are good, I discourage them due to the ease that inexperienced users could get into. IF you are experienced then not an issue. Clutch operates at a lower pressure than the brakes and will just about gravity drain on its own.
Where possible I always vacuum the fluid rather than pressure bleeders or even pumping the pedal, but that is my choice.
Never knew their was a jacking point on the center of the rearView attachment 93147

Its called the axle!Never knew their was a jacking point on the center of the rear
Isnt it amazing how light weight the wheels are for those, I have no problem holding one with a straight horizontal arm on a ditto straight finger (one finger!).View attachment 93147

It can be the whole axle, lifting in the middle is good, if you're changing both wheels or rear breaks. Still I think it's better to lift the car closer to the wheels with 2 axle stands, less pressure on those parts.Never knew their was a jacking point on the center of the rear
So true. Make 15’ pepperpots feel positively cumbersome!!!Isnt it amazing how light weight the wheels are for those, I have no problem holding one with a straight horizontal arm on a ditto straight finger (one finger!).
