The moment you try to remove that heatshield it will probably start disintegrating in front of your eyes, they all seem to do that. It was many years ago when I did it on my old 40 but I'm pretty sure I've managed to undo it by using standard o2 sensor socket, 22mm(I'm pretty sure I still have it so...
That rust on the side where bumper is attached seems standard, my old 40 had it on one side and that was 4 cars and 10 years ago or so. Angle grinder and a cutting disc will make a quick work of any rusted bolts and nuts securing that location plate under that plastic guide, then treat it, repaint a...
Dishwashers make for an amazing parts cleaners, used one on a lot of super oily and gunky stuffs and parts come out spotless :) Pim, forgot to mention it but you ought to use either LEDs or low amp bulbs in these rear fog lights, definitely not what Jag used originally which will burn out the chrome...

Would you say that max 1mm play at 12-6 hour is excessive wheel bearing play and an MOT fail or did I just came across a douchebag MOT tester again, of course there is no noise, roughness or whatnot in the bearing itself, just a bit of play :evil: Of course front wheel bearings on advisory list is a...
Gary, if you ever log back again here, hope you'll be able to post a few pics of the car, update us, and of course if you're still around, happy birthday
There are two possibilities really. 1) I know its not fair to ask but doesn't look like we have much choice so I'm going to anyway. Roel , can you help at any point with this? 2) We get an extra pair of hands helping. Please PM me, whoever can make that decision, I'd be willing to help as its crysta...
Steve, can you PM me, I'd be willing to help with this if John is ok with an extra person helping, its clear we currently don't have necessary resources to deal with the forum issues, I'd be willing to help with technical part of the forum, I work in IT and I don't want this forum to disappear and t...
