Isn’t Birchdown an hour away? Mine was a dirty Throttle Body. The butterfly valve wasn’t moving freely enough, which caused an inconsistent signal back to the ECU, which in turn put it in limp mode (that symbol on your dash) and an EML light. I took it off, cleaned it with WD-40 and contact...

Result. It’s a rare beast not to have rust in those places. Well done!

Yeah PBS if on a budget 💯

Yeah, all of the above. I used RC6 for two seasons but couldn't get away with the sudden bite - if I bottled it and dabbed on the pedal, usually mid-corner. My mates ran PBS on their Clio last two seasons and no issues. I find DS1.11 are the best all-around pad for these cars though. Pagid...

Says in the description 44 tooth. As you say, you can always fit one

8200352042 is the right part number for a 182 and cup packed cars have 44 tooth ABS rings, which this also appears to have.

Damper/Balancer 🤷🏻‍♂️

When I arrived at work this morning, it was evident that my colleagues weren't happy 😆 One brother was browsing the Javelin website, dropping subtle hints about an available spot and his elder brother was data gathering. I mentioned I didn’t have a car and the lack of available driveshafts...

So you effectively have 35Nm on the front and 40Nm on the back. The rear damper being superior. I don’t think you’ll die, but should you survive, let us know how you get on.

Driveshaft seal still leaking. Enough to force me to move my trackday forward to June. I’m an idiot 🤡 Despite that, I went around checking and torquing everything up. Got the rear suspension on and fitted the brake ducting. I ran out of cable ties but will secure those a bit more. And...

I’m Just old and tired mate. 2 of my grandchildren stayed over last night and the 2-year old tortured me all night, then got me up at 5am. I was half dead by the time I started working on the car. If I’ve managed to fix it, it’s all systems go for Croft. If not, I’ll transfer it to June. I’ll...

What a fight this car gave me today. First up I was struggling to fit the bolts through the dampers and into the hubs. I thought I’ll just measure the bolt distance and as suspected, it has 54mm hubs 🤔 It’s a CUP packed car, albeit an old one at that, so s**t happens I guess. Never mind...

New radiator and fans, new suspension, new brake ducts, building looms. A never ending money pit. The list goes on.
