Used to fit EBC Greenstuff pads on my MGF - had no problems at all

What size are your tyres, and are they the old AT pattern or the new one ?

Surprising that the dealer didn't mention it when you got the new key

Good old inch n a half AF will do it ! Mini (proper mini, not BMW) crankshaft bolt size !!

I'm running 205/75-15 Grabber AT2's at 33psi for normal road use, plus another 3 psi when towing. Caravan is a Sprite Challenger 500, about 1400 k in normal trim

Bumper care from Autoglym

Er, no !!!

Ignition switch ?

Hasn't there been a previous thread stressing the fact that the caliper pistons must not be pressed back into the caliper unless the bleed nipple has been opened, as damage can be caused to the abs modulator ???

Rave tells you to slacken the bleed nipple before pressing the piston back into the caliper when fitting new pads - so obviously not intended to force fluid "backwards" through system

As a company delivery driver, I have to carry out checks on my van before the first run of the week - oil, coolant and washer bottle levels, all lights, tyre pressures, tread and damage check, wheel bolt torque. I have always carried out regular checks on my own vehicles in the same way

How often do you check wheel but torque ??

You're going to take it out on public roads with a known brake fault ??

Got a 2001 TD4 manual - was getting 30 to 32 ish before fitting Renault 'stat in top hose (original 'stat failed open) . last tankful gave 37.17 mpg, and that was including 2 mile runs to work (so not getting up to full temp), and also a fast run to Conway from Stoke ( and back again later, of...

What state is the bottom engine steady in ?

Probably did it the easy way and fitted the Renault 5 stat in the top hose !!

The stat in roccotune's link is the correct one - still a tight fit !! Make sure you fit it with the bulb towards the engine, not the radiator .

Griff - even if U did unclip the hose, you would still have to cut the band in order to remove the part of the plastic clip which is still in the end of the hose - you can't get the 'stat in with it still in place. You can't really put the stat in the radiator end of the hose, it's too far from...
