A bit of Gorilla Glue would have done the trick.Its only broken in a couple of places.

Having fitted the replacement rear sub-frame, new springs and shocks i am stumped now, trying to remove 2 upper links from the hubs. I have removed the innerds of one but simply cant shift the outer case part. have tried hammering, coating in wd40, heating (but not sure how much to use), and pulling with a couple of sockets and a long bolt but nothing shifts it. How hard can i bash this without damaging anything else?? This issue is only one keeping the car off the road and next step is a mobile mechanic! (btw the hubs are still on the car as I dont really want to remove them)

You need a good solid drift, brass or aluminium. Failing that a socket of the correct diameter, they can take a lot of shifting though.

Anyway what you need to do is remove the brake backplates, then belt the remnant of the inside of the other rose joint out of the housing. Clean the cast iron lug up with a rotary cup brush, then after greasing the bolt, put a bit of a nip onto the bolt through the extractor, then give the end of the bolt a bop with your favourite knocking stick. Once it's moving it can be wound out with the extractor, and when fitting the new bushes, make sure the radiused end enters first, and you've cleaned the inside of the loop with emery and a smear of LM grease.

Put 46 miles on it with a jolly to Canterbury and back, but tomorrow will consist of Washing, leathering, vacuuming, detailing and then filling with fuel, as I have it on good authority it's going to be half sun with a bit of cloud but NO rain ! so ... polishing a plenty.
Might post some pics up if I can figure out how to do it. lol. |

Found the cause of the non starting 1.8t, I would urge all 1.8 turbo owners to check their crank sensor wiring, it runs very close to the turbo!!

Not yet Pete, im awaiting a certain Geordie to wave his wand as the touching wires managed to fry the ECU.
(Brian did say this can happen on the 1.8t)

Not a great deal really, took the front wheel off, inspected the crank pulley and resigned myself to the reality that the DMF is fubared.
What I should have done is scrapped this car last month, rather than pour money into it, and more importantly.....time Well at least there are not going to be any seized bolts to contend with On a happier note, I cobbled a set of front to rear brake pipes onto a local members tourer, and surprisingly the new pipes fit into the clips. And after decraminating the rear discs, and caliper carriers, and fitting the new rear calipers, bleeding took a mere 1/4 litre of fluid. Time for a new hobby Brian |
