Re: Rear Springs Replacement - Compression Tool

I've always had to really heave on the trailing arm, and crow bar the spring free of the turrets. I imagine there's a lot of different spring lengths out there by now. I'm 'stock' height but it's still a wrench.

Re: Flashing LED batten lights

I'd guess that like a lot of led lighting, they are over driven on voltage, are not cooled, and are poorly sealed against the elements. Frustrating that they all say "100,000hrs lifetime" or something! Never gonna happen. The annode and cathode of every led is a mild steel alloy, which cor...

Re: Subaru conversion

Some places might supply the engine and wiring loom on a pallet - I did that some years ago, contact HDC Subaru in hebden bridge and explain what you're wanting to do. Agree to reading up on the RJES website!

Re: Historic MOT criteria

If the v5 already has the date of manufacture/first registered in it, is that satisfactory for that part of the process?

Bleed nipples

Why are they so small?? Given the misery they cause across the whole industry, corroding, snapping, stripping, rounding off. Wasting god knows how many perfect calipers in the process. I've just swapped the clutch slave, it had a 7mm hex bleed screw. Nothing! So why the small size? Dare I suggest a ...

Re: 2.1DJ to EJ251 Conversion - On the the road!

I think mines a TSR one. Aluminium. Looks nice and has worked fine, but has developed a hairline crack in a weld somewhere so will need a repair. I'd probably go with a steel option if doing it again [emoji106]

Re: Anyone used their OEM jack successfully?

Don't forget to grease the threads on the standard jack every 20 years or so. It'll stop the creaking and groaning [emoji6]

Re: Cooling system - overheating

Yeah make sure there's some in the tank by the number plate, so that the engine will suck back in coolant and not air when it cools down.

Re: 1.9 DG engine

Also 'cruising at 70' always raises my eyebrow. So relaxing! No offense, maybe someone does get these numbers...???

On the same note, I find "pulls like a train" hilarious [emoji38]
