After just the drivers side indicator if anyone has one lying around. Dont mind having to buy a pair if the pice is ok.

As title states. Had a front end bump the other week. Will be needing other bits like bonnet, off side wing and headlight but thought I'd locate a slam panel first and go from there.

Brill cheers man !!

Ok cheers lads. Do I torque it down in 3 stages like 20,40,60?

This is the second installation of them so dont have the sachet.

Thanks.

Hi people. Just coming round to putting the head back on the car now. Just wondered what lube i should use on the threads and under the heads of the arp bolts? Also what are the correct torque settings?

Thanks

Bump

Ok cheers boss. I'll get some ordered.

Can anyone help as to what this star bit is or where i can get it?

Its similar to a torx bit but with more contact points. I have nothing in my socket set that fits.

I am nearly ready to remove the head from my car. I noticed the arp head bolts require a specific star like bit. Where can i get this bit from? Any help would be much appreciated!

Can anyone here recommend a decent engine Reconditioner/machinist in the East Midlands or somewhere fairly close? Going to need a crack test and the head skimming.

I'll have to check on weekend when I go out to my unit

Cheers boss! Appreciate it.

Anyone have one kicking about?

As title says. Been after one for a while now but they never seem to pop up. Preferably 205 black but will take any colour as im way over due a full respray lol.

Thanks in advance.

The motor has done approximately 10 thousand easy miles from being fully forged at stage 2. I thought it was rather early lol. Hopefully The block hasn't split or something lame like that. How do I check for block failures?

Thanks for replys

Ok bud, will keep that in mind

Purchased a little cheap tester kit from ebay and the blue liquid turned yellow fairly quickly, indicating it failed 😞 . So is there anything i need to know before i set about the strip down? Going to purchase a new gasket, cam belt and get the head checked and skimmed. Anything else i need to be aware of?

Thanks

As stated. Mine has snapped and is hanging on with a cable tie lol.

Haha oh right, didn't know you could do that. I'll look into it and see if thats the case. Thanks
