Well as always with these moneypit cars just as one thing gets sorted another arises !

Just thought I'd take her for a spin to pickup my daughter a mile up the road, all was fine till I got back and found the rear drivers side disc glowing and smelling rather bad :)

Fortunately shorty and grant were round earlier grant said he had one spare on a gt he is breaking ! :D

Talk about a love hate relationship lol

Well we started yesterday doing the rear caliper and front discs and pads which went on easily

Then this morning we set about doing the engine And gearbox poly bushes which all fittedand went in easy too

Then after that we removed the old rad attached the fan tO the new one and started installing it into the car. Just as we were comin to the end of the job I went to attach the top and bottom hoses to find that my silicone ones didn't fit which was potentially a massive problem for getting her back on the road today!

Anyway after a few Panic calls to mr mike b and mr rob 2.2 we had to goto ferndown and rob kindly removed his hoses from his starlet and is letting me use them whilst mike was up trents pulling hoses off of cars for me as well!!

By the way , cheers guys

Anyway the rads now on and working well the engine poly mounts vibrate the car like hell but it's wicked and ready for next week yeyyyy

they do go on mate but are very tight. always put the on the rad out the car so you got all the room you need to wrestle them on! i put the hose in some boiling water for a few mins and wd40 the rad outlet and with a bit of a fight they do go on! what make were the rad hoses?

Anyway this was the driverside engine mount issue I found too lol

All melted and not even connected lol, the only quibble I now have is that the screamer pipe is about 15mm from the bottom hose ! Its not gonna touch as nothing moves at all and I have heatwrapped it so fingers crossed it'll be ok
