For those of you who are entirely on your own like me when running your car....who here uses pressure bleeders and what is your experience like? I have a dual tube bleed bottle + pressure bleeder and...

another update to this thread, and may it help a fellow newbie in the future! I successfully and very easily primed by GDU pump after a refill. - unplug the hose line from pump to radiator. - use a ...

another update. I've made a breakthrough and now have a solid routine that I can rely on even when its cold. Warming the water/engine block up at the same time whilst the oil is heating makes a huge d...

thought i'd update this thread. I bought a dual-tube bleeder bottle and did each corner again, working in sequence, RR, RL, FL, FR. I then bought a spare Tilton cap, use a fibre washer, and attached t...

so i'm been having fun recently trying to find the corret way to bleed brakes. When i picked my car up from the local team they had bled the brakes and the pedal felt great, I had replaced both master...

Do i need to be concerned about measuring temperature? I know the manual talk about ensuring the spread of temperature is within a 10-15 degreee range - leaving that to one side for the moment lets as...

@luke-ellis i was just about to ask for pics so thank you! I will have to mount them differently at the back because i'm running the Quiet exhaust with 2 mufflers and it uses up a chunk of that spac...

Testing done. Notes were: Start point, oil and water at 21degC Oil heater on - 45 mins to get to 70c Unplugged oil and swapped over to water heater on. After 20 mins, oil at 58C, water at 64. Unplu...

@luke-ellis it look to be a very similar design, certainly the body is exactly the same. I just don't have the fancy fittings installed on the in/out ends, so i've just jubilee clipped on hose. sorr...

@Luke-ellis - the car is all up and running..and i have one final thing left to test. My preheater. What is the logic here - - I'm assuming I need to have the car's pump on to keep things flowing whil...

For those of you with an SR3 and adjustable rear pushrods, please can you advise what length pushrod you have so I can buy the correct one? I know it's 3/8" UNF, and my original fixed pushrod measures...

I'm not sure whether these are meant to go in dry, both GDU and wheelhub sides, or should I apply some anti seize? If so what products do you folks use?

@rjbender having just installed the GDU again today....yes it makes absolutely no sense to remove it from underneath. I installed it back in today with relative ease going in from the top with all th...
