    Cheap, non-approved oil that meets 507 spec - Logic & facts

    That's an old discount I think George. It's listed around 47 before the current 15% discount code making it just over £40 which is pretty cheap imo

    Cheap, non-approved oil that meets 507 spec - Logic & facts

    To be honest I just went for the 507 spec primarily. The discount code is sale15 but it should show up before the buy

    Cheap, non-approved oil that meets 507 spec - Logic & facts

    Just a quick note to say that Mannol 20L 507 spec is on ebay right now with 15% discount meaning its just over £40 inc delivery. I decided to go for it given I'm doing annual changes.

    Front caliper pin won't tighten

    Awesome thanks. Ended up buying an M9 X 1.25 draper kit last night which arrives tomorrow as for some reason the name gave me a bit of assurance :) If I need to drill and cut from the inside I'm a little concerned that I won't be able to do so with the accuracy required given it needs to be...

    Front caliper pin won't tighten

    Yup thanks I guess so but I have been looking into a helicoil solution and it might well work out if I buy the correct kit and take my time... If not I buy another knuckle I guess?

    Front caliper pin won't tighten

    So as a result of my recent MOT advisory stating that I had excessively rusty discs at the front I took the opportunity to replace today given it wasn't raining for a change. I did the driver's side without issue but upon tightening the ns the top caliper pin at the point of tightening decided...

    Today I.....

    So... Car got though MOT for another year on Saturday with 3 advisories. Rusty front brake discs (is it me or do you have to replace them every 3 years or so due to the lip build up on the top and bottom?).... Oil leak which I presume is still coming from the manifold...I'll look to get the...

    Airbag light since cabin fan repair

    Thanks guys so I've been working on a washer reservoir leak most of the night (replaced with another reservoir then found out it was the pump itself leaking!) But I did disconnect the battery for around 30 minutes, hook backup then managed to then clear the code without it returning. Will keep...

    Airbag light since cabin fan repair

    So a few weeks back I had a seized cabin fan issue where I removed, cleaned up and put the fan back in. I got an Airbag light on which cleared down fine but now its reappeared and wont clear. I'm aware the airbag sits above the glovebox and I'm guessing we've done something to disturb it. I'm...

    Washer jet piping

    I think I've also realised that the middle section on the OEM tpiece is likely a one way non return valve....I think I'll try and find a 2nd hand one Graham!

    Washer jet piping

    yup thats the issue - I'm not convinced the connection into the actual jet is the same. If you look at the picture above it looks bigger than the pipe size connectors which are 4mm

    Washer jet piping

    Seal of original tried - its dead Jim :) I believe this is a common piece across a number of cars but part number searches coming up fairly blank so will have to dig deeper. Issue I have is I need it now or I cant really drive the car so likely I'll have to get a used one if I cant find a...

    Washer jet piping

    So part (6X0955975) is on "back order" which means it may be obsolete now or may take a considerable time to come in. Back to original question does anyone know or used a non-OEM alternative? Just conscious the original seems to have some kind of joint in the middle that isnt obvious from any...

    I stand corrected it looks like the t piece is floating around in mid air within the blown up diagram. 👍
