MOT day and just the one failure - contaminated brake fluid! My garage are certainly on it with the brake fluid
What?? They check the brake fluid at MOT on UK? On Europe they just press the brakes to check the braking strength and equal distribution on wheels.MOT day and just the one failure - contaminated brake fluid! My garage are certainly on it with the brake fluid
Hydraulic brake fluid level checks are confined to transparent reservoirs, reservoir caps should not be removed. On many vehicles, you will not be able to see if the brake fluid is contaminated. You should only fail a vehicle if you can clearly see that the fluid is contaminated.
Don't temped fate you'll be next lolWhat?? They check the brake fluid at MOT on UK? On Europe they just press the brakes to check the braking strength and equal distribution on wheels.
Wanted to change the cat yesterday but called it off as the new cat was flared and the old one wasn't. Could be a great excuse for a new exhaust, but it's tough when I don't actually need one...
You can see that the old cat is straight all the way and goes into the cat back section, but the new cat is the other way round and is flared at the end. Here's hoping I can send it back.
Was going to do an oil change anyway though, so got that done. Found some rust on the offside sill at the bottom of the front wing, so that's another job to be done, though maybe in warmer times...

That’s wear the rust well hole was on mine but I had to take side skirt off, when done I treated both inside bottom wings, it’s a common rust area and mine weren’t even full of leafs ectWanted to change the cat yesterday but called it off as the new cat was flared and the old one wasn't.

I used a fibre glass filler after removing rust
Just taking the inner splash guard off you can see all the wing easily, both of mine were fine it’s just the bottom on one that rusted though I thought it was a drain hole a few years ago lol as I didn’t take the inner door to wing cover off, passenger side was fine, I just waxoil/under sealed both inside I’m going to to check in summer again as I’ve got some inner guard clips on the wing to replaceYeah - that's the corner where loads of things collect. There's a lot of moss that tends to collect there. I've cleaned out the bits that get clogged with leaves, but it's a pain having to keep coming back to it. Bilt Hamber Deox Gel has been a lifesaver in the past. I'm thinking I might even take the whole wing off and make sure it's really well treated on the other side.

Dear fellow Seaters
have you got any experience with Silver project parts? I have read a lot of negative feedback about their adjustable front top mounts, but what I need right now right now are rear control arms, namely toe arm (lower) and camber arm (upper U shaped). They seem very solidly made, I dare guess they would be much tougher and long lasting than any oem or standard aftermarket oem replacements (with a benefit of being adjustable). They are extremely reasonably priced, actually only slightly more expensive than some of the higher quality oem replacements. Other adjustable alternatives are much more costly and, honestly, if the SPs can do the job, why would I look for more expensive alternatives? If you could share your experience, positive or negative with this company, I will be grateful. Thanks
Thanks for your suggestion. Yes, Freetrack it is. And I had checked the offer of CBAuto before posting my previous comment, because I read a heated discussion on another forum on Silver Project vs CB Auto rear control arms. However, and, please, correct me if I am looking wrong, but I do not seem to be able to find the rear control arms offer on CBAuto's website anymore. All they offer now are poly bushings, some big brake kits and some other few items, but control arms are not among them..I guess you have a fr4. There is a company called cbautos who do some very nice stuff and very good quality. I would recommended to have a look. https://www.cbauto.co.uk/
It's always better to pay for quality but don't pay over the top tho.
