I had real trouble with those clamps. I struggled to get them closed enough to get the nut and bolt to connect in order to tighten them. I ended up going up a size to 97-104 mikalor clamps. Made the job much easier.

Hey Guest one of our sponsors Progressive Parts is running Black Friday and Cyber Monday offers - more details here
what have you done to your car today ?
- Thread starter seatcupramad23
- Start date
After lots of swearing, put the car back together and took it for a test drive.
And spent the whole time laughing because, for once, the mods done have made a big difference to the driving experience

It's really satisfying when you're doing something that should work but there's no info about doing it so you're going more on faith than anything else
Oh, quick self promo time for my RR thread

Looking forward to some diesel mods - and to find out what your plans are for the air intake.

Sounds like when my missus is trying to explain the latest storyline on Emerdale to me.
I was gonna ask that, [mention]Connor H [/mention] do you still have the oe pcv set up?

Bloody eBay sellers...
Remember the CSC arrived damaged in the clutch kit I bought? The seller has just sent a label to return it. The whole lot. All for a damaged CSC that they could have refunded me for.
To make things worse, I had a voucher on eBay that gave me money off, so I got the whole lot for £260 - flywheel and all - and I'm not going to get that discount if I buy another one.
And of course, I'm sure some of you know just how much a complete clutch kit including the flywheel actually weighs. I really don't want to be carrying that to my Post Office. God knows how much it's costing them to send it back. Actually, I just checked - £30 is how much. You could probably buy a CSC for that much.

The puck is there
Yup, i'd like a catch can but my car is stored outside, and used all weather. Cba with all the slosh in the can in the winter lol
Maybe cut your losses and look into a new csc ? Then weigh up what you’ve saved vs that. I’d just send the csc back haha

Been thinking about it. I sent them a message to ask if they'd just send me a CSC but I'm not holding out much hope. Three different people have replied to the messages I've sent so it's one of those outfits where they're so big that they can't properly keep track of these things.

You could probably get a Sachs/LUK CSC from euros for 30-45 pounds. Might be better to cut your losses and go down that path. And the advantage of Euros is you can return items direct to their branches if you have issues. Good luck anyhow.
Got a "new" (21 year old) two button Seat key from the breakers for £1, ( with the advise, "it will never work.")
Take both keys apart, frequency is on a label beneath battery, both 434 MHz, hopes rise a little, circuit boards different though, sigh.
Used the two key method for mk4 golf, as on yubetou (sorry, lost the link), and..........................................
it worked, astonished & very happy. Swap the metal key which also has the immobiliser chip & in business.
Fortunately the manual switches in the drivers door module lock are still compus mentus which makes this method possible.
Oh happy day, now to battle the peugeot.

I think I'm getting closer to a bit of a refund - they've offered me £20 and I've gone back to them and suggested £30, given that's what I can get on for from Euros. I think they've agreed to that, so we're all good there.
Was a bit of a ball ache, but it'll be good to have a perfect CSC.
In other news, the girlfriend drove the car yesterday and says it drives really well - that it feels really solid and together, so I'm feeling pretty good about myself there.
Thinking about doing my front wheel bearing sometime. Has anyone gone down the route of taking it all apart, and then getting a garage to press the old one out and put a new one in?
