    Adios and Adieu.............

    Well after a month short of eleven years ownership our FL1 has gone . The combination of increasing water loss ( possible inlet manifold cracked though ) seized no 1 plug ( ?) imminent clutch replacement and diff + lower arm bushes and an annual increase of road tax to € 730 rendered it...

Mine has the plastic "protecters " fitted so after removing torx screws I thought that the pillers underneath would unscrew out to remove lamp but no they just kept turning.

    Exhaust rasp

    I've just had to replace the 10 month old exhaust centre section that I bought from Eternal (:hysterically_laughi) Exhausts on E bay which had split around the silencer end flange .

    Front wishbone bushes( rear )

    Right all I need to replace both front wishbones on my FL1 and want to replace the rearmost bushes too. After searching I see that these are a bugger to remove and refit into the alloy casing but the difference in price between the bushes alone and the combined bush and casing is too great to...

    Replacing Matrix

    Found antifreeze on the passenger footwell under the ducting, not much but it's a certainty that it'll be the heater matrix. Best to do it now before we get back into the cold weather again so I've looked at the RAVE manual re removing the dash and although a little complex it seems doable...

The Rave disc says they are 1.2...
