@davidf they are definitely 7mm wide, it's a like for like part that came off the car and i checked the specs etc. looks like the part numbers are a bit different in the US maybe. thanks, i'll try th...

Even something which i thought would be a super simple job turns out to be a problem! I removed Oetiker ear clamps (15900005/15900007) off the driveshaft boots, and bought some replacement works exact...

@davidf haha right i'll give it another go then. dammit, that's what everyone has been saying, just use a rag. I've tried a tea towel and a microfibre cloth and both times i ended up just tearing thr...

@davidf well I got my angle grinder out and did the job. Cut off about half of the socket head, and that low profile drive adapter did the trick. The stumbling block I have now is stopping the gears ...

@davidf i'm now experiencing the problem of tightening these back up. did you also torque back to spec using a torque wrench + wobble extension? the problem i have is even if i milled the 42mm down, ...

I recently posted an 'ask radical' question, and hopefully their technical team will be able to provide some insight. It wouldn't bother me, but there's 1 track in the UK called bedford autodrome whi...

do i really need to bother cleaning and regreasing these.....the grease looks like new to me still! I guess i might as well as it's all out the car but even so. I'd rather spend an hour doing somethin...

well i've just swapped out the ratios for the first time. Where are you meant to put the loctite? Is it just on the thread? Or are you also meant to put it in between the spacer, gear, nut? 648 reta...

@davidf well i've googled around all over the place for what appears to be a unicorn object in the UK. 'tripod grease gun' 'tripod grease tool' tripod greaser tool'. literally only one picture come...

@raider89 yeh thanks i removed them today, was very easy. What Grease did you use? a few things tripped me up momentarily..... like realising you have to pull out the wheel-side end out first. Th...

@raider89 hiya, i'm about to do this myself as well, do you have any pics or tips on the 2nd part, or is it just as per the manual, clean, apply new grease? I've never removed a driveshaft ever, no ...

There's a few things i've noticed about the front shell on my car.. At some point the left side must have been completely redone or somehow moulded using tons of filler over the fibreglass - and all t...

@davidf the problem i have with doing it by feel as i'd say i'm below average strength for a 'fit mid 30's male' compared to any of my friends for example, so my version of tight might be someones sn...

@pugdaddy my reservoir for the front brakes is the right hand side one of the 2 reservoirs. I only know that coz there's a brake line with a label saying 'front brakes' feeding into the bottom of it....

I'm going through the lists off the manuals etc... but with a possible first outing at Silverstone next month (i'll see what the forecast is like!), the car will have been parked for 4 months. I've on...
