The only physical differance is the S3 having the larger K04 turbo instead of the K03.... new turbo and a re-map could easely see 250bhp:wasntme:

Ok the easy way is to use a big G clamp and 1 of the old pads, put the pad on the piston and use the G clamp to wind it back in. Alternativly you could use big pipe grips to press it back in, i do so many at work that i bought a proper wind back tool:laugh:

I think those are good cars and that you should get in contact with a company called Jabbasport, they did wonders om my mates Ibiza Cupra (very simmilar engine) Thats also the best colour for those mk4 golf's

Well done mate, my cousin is a electrician and earns a fortune compared to me. I get the same too, friends of friends think i am there personal mechanic... :laugh: Maby i should re-train as a sparky, Qualified in portable appliance testing and basic repair. Recon i should go for it?

If the door has mooved back then the A pillar is bent back lower down, i would have it jigged to make sure its all square and straight and go from there.

Thats a re-con kit for the weber carb thats used as an upgrade for the K10 micra, it would basicly return the carb to 'as new' condition.

I like the CIVIC (92 - 95 shape) and plan to have the VTI version 1.6 158bhp:slm: The shape after that has basicly the same engine too, probably not that cheap on insurance though. Out of your list the 1 to avoid is a toss-up between the grand vitara and the MG ZR.... The Rover K series...

Sold to me i think:slm: Might have to rip the whole dash out and get buisy with some plastic primer and satin black... the brown has to go:laugh:

If you can get them try Osram super bi-lux, i think these are 30%extra jobbies. The only car i have needed more in ended up with 100/80w O.o

I would recomend TruPart (in a red box with yellow writing) they are really cheap but they are also good and last a good few months, you should be able to get a pair form a local parts shop for about a fiver.

They are a nice thing to have though, my last 4 cars have had 1 so i am missing it with the micra:laugh:

They should be 18'' on both fronts, mine has a 20 on the drivers side though.

If the oil is black or very dirty then its more likely to be engine oil, gear-oil has a very distinctive smell to it as you will know if you chacked the level. Get a bit on your finger and have a sniff:laugh:

Lmao its a while since i did that 1, probably happen tomorrow nowO.o

I got that box on today mate, it's 10 times better than the 1 that came off and its nice to have a 5th on the motorway, Cheers mate:slm:

I'm a mechainc and we buy it in 205L drums, and its on special, and at that price the dealer will still be making profit:glance: I'm not exactly high payed but there are perks, oh and since there was no work in this afternoon me and my boss did the box and clutch on it then he left me to do...

Ah, hadnt seen that:blush: Cheers fordy.

I will be diong a full service on the micra on saturday, Air, Oil and fuel filters and plugs, and since it has developed a slight misfire when its damp the leads, rotor arm and dizzy cap will be done too So i am hopeing you will say that GM (vauxhall branded) 10W 40 semi-synthetic oil will...

I would also say that these products are a 'false economy', they may mask the problem for a bit but the problem is still there. Personally i would fix the problem, as Speedle said Just because the valve clearances have been done dosent mean they have been done correctly.:p
