i just had a go at this and worked it out... u need a tiiiiny flat electrical type screw driver, wedge it between the inner and outter part of the "screw" head and pop the middle part out a couple of MM, then just pull em out. and u can then reuse em afterwards too! (unfortunatly i mullered some before i worked this out lol)

the oil filter is M14 x P1.5 hmm it seems between us we've solved our problem.. bonus!

does anybody know what size sandwhich plate will fit the glanza for an oil temp and oil pressure sender? or the thred size of the senders used by auto guage? cheers in advance

hello chap! welcome! where abouts in devon are you?

yeah i have noticed that. i see soo many floating about and was really looking forward to meeting some other owners on here. but there really dont seem to be any!? and to be fair, exeter meets are dying a slow painfull death as it is. oh well no worries. (hmm i didnt know glanza.com was based in the south west?! nice one)

hahahaha fair dues... im going there soon actually. i'll keep an eye out.

hi there. im new to this site, and am so glad to see a south west region topic. any one here in or near exeter? dunno if anyone used to use southwestcivics.com? but u might know me from there? hope to meet up soon ears! dave

the only thing i would add to this, is after your last coat of primer (i assume its grey) give it a quick "dusting" in mat black or any other apposing colour, then with your block use a 1000 grit and go over any flat surfaces till the dust coat disapears, this ensures you have no high or low spots. also words to live by when prepping " IF YOU CAN FEEL IT WITH YOUR HAND, YOU WILL SEE IT WITH YOUR EYE WHEN ITS PAINTED!" hth ;)

hi there. i would recomend maguires plastix.its great on light scuffs and discoloring on lenses. rub down the affected area with some 1000 grit paper, if its not working, start with a 320 grit, then work your way up 320 - 500 - 800 - 1000 overlapping the area each time. then the plastix should polish it up a treat. it will take alot of elbow grease to polish it up, but it will be worth it. alternativly you could use a machine polisher... IF your carefull. HTH ;)

aww cheers peeps!! yeah i guess it was a blessing in disguise. but we shall see. i will get some pics up ASAP. but at the moment its sat outside work waiting for my parts from TT to arrive so i can get it MOTed then taxed and on the road. its a little tatty but i got it cheap so i cant complain, and working in a body shop helps too. so big plans for my little car ;) watch this space

hello! my names dave. just found u guys on google. i have recently bought a glanza V and im currently in the process of making it road legal tidying up bits and bobs for the MOT re-test ;) i previously had a starlet GT which i loved and cherrished till some eejit pulled out infront of me on my way to work and wrote it off after only owning it for a month and half. anyways, just thought i would say HI! and give a quick intro. hope to meet some new peeps soon
