    I don't have a press, and I'm many miles from Birmingham, but I do know that @KiNK43 has burned bushes out before if that helps?

    They look well smart. Nice one

    Top idea, and I'll have to have a ponder. Arches and sills seems to be the areas most prone to rusting. Age of the cars now means that bushes will all be in various stages of falling to bits. Sticky handbrake is another woe that we're all far too familiar with. Engine wise I can't think of anything so long as regular oil changes have been done?

    Quite a journey ey! Looks nice and moody now

    Cheeky pic from takeaway collection duties... So glad to be back in an M

    Hope that fixes it mate. I've been keeping an eye on the spare wheel well in mine, and so far so good, and that's with a bit of rain and couple of rinses at the jet wash (no brushes mind you...)

    Number 3 on here? https://www.lingshondaparts.com/partscatalog/catalog/listing/catalog/hondacars/modelid/7745/block/17S1E01/blockref/B__1721/ I notice this notes it's for right hand drive... Might be different for left hand.

    Someone else might be able to confirm, but you might be able to look at MG ZS or rover 400 as well, as I think that they have 4x100 wheels. Like I say, hopefully someone can confirm.

    Thanks Gerry. Those bits that you sent me are very close to the top of the list of wee jobs to do

    Cheers @Dave

    Cheers mate, yep - nice to be back in an M

    Cheers mate... Been a long time coming

    Crap, so sorry to hear about your dad mate. Glad you got the rta bushes sorted - bet that's made a big difference!

    Overall I'm over the moon.. It drives so tight and firm.. Seems like I needn't have worried about using OEM spec shocks. All of the bracing and bushes have certainly done the job (still got the rear strut brace to fit as well) but it's like an estate go kart Couple of little gremlins to get sorted - screen wash isn't working - can hear the pump going, but no squirt. There's the issue with the horn sounding when you turn the rear fog on (but not if the fronts already on), and also the light reminder alarm makes an odd noise sometimes.. Seems like there's some oddness going on with the wiring.

    Mine needed a bit of bending to get it lined up, but no big drama.
  17. dr_broon
    The brace is looking good - I like a nice brace

    Which of the many types of gunk is it mate? https://www.google.com/search?safe=strict&client=ms-android-hmd-rev2&ei=9WZEYNefIYzzgQbSwZ2ABw&q=gunk+engine+degreaser&oq=gunk+engine&gs_lcp=ChNtb2JpbGUtZ3dzLXdpei1zZXJwEAEYADIFCAAQkQIyBQgAEJECMgIIADICCAAyAggAMgIIADICCAAyAggAOgQIABBHOgcIABCxAxBDOgQIABBDUNAnWJo4YIVOaABwAXgAgAF6iAHdAZIBAzEuMZgBAKABAcgBCMABAQ&sclient=mobile-gws-wiz-serp#scso=_AWdEYKq0A4yUgAbg2Z7YDw10:737.7142944335938

    It sounds like you need to get a project thread started
  20. dr_broon
    I know that feeling!!
  21. dr_broon
    Think I'll try some of your gunk Dave The engine bay is the one bit of the new one that needs some smartening up.
  22. dr_broon
    I guess that the emissions is the potential tricky part of the failures, but I suppose it depends on how far out they are. Otherwise, brakes and tyres should be fairly straightforward. Viewing and getting it with no MOT and lockdown is going to also be tricky.
  23. dr_broon
    Likely to be Waxoil (or similar)
  24. dr_broon
    Glad that you got to the bottom of it mate.. Nice puzzle that one
  25. dr_broon
    Out of interest, this is my fob.
