Alright everyone, My O/S brake pads squeal really badly, I think it is due to not having the top metal retaining clip / return clip (if that's what it is called) in the caliper, when I replaced my pads the original had broken so didn't put it back in. All brake pad fitting kits I've found only include the clips / runners that sit on the brake caliper carriers. Even Honda can only get the other part in a camplete pad kit. Does anybody know where I can get one please? Or has anyone got any spare? Any help would be most appreciated. harVTEC

FOR SALE! I picked up another ARB today, I manage to go from having none to having 2! Picked it up as there was a few people on here looking, I paid £30 for it. I'm going to strip it back and put a coat of paint on it to freshen it up so if anyone wants it for £40 + P&P with everything including bolts let me know harVTEC

Anyone else able to help with this? Thanks. harVTEC

Alright mate haha. I'll keep an eye out for you as well. harVTEC

Check on eBay every couple of days mate, and widen your search. For example, try 'MG ZS Anti Roll Bar', 'MG ZS ARB', MG 180 Anti Roll Bar', 'MG 180 ARB'. One should come up, or search 'MG ZS 180 Breaking' then contact a couple of the sellers and see if they still have the ARB. Might be worth signing up to the MG ZS owner's club and checking their for sale section? Hope this helps. harVTEC

£18 delivered has got to be the cheapest anyone has ever paid! I fitted mine yesterday, going from no ARB to the MG one has certainly made a difference, the rear end feels much more planted when cornering / takinmg roundabouts fast. Everyone who's come as a passenger has noticed it, it's a hard feeling to describe. It just feels like the rear wheels follow the front a lot more, whereas before they we're sort of independantly bouncing about as they pleased. Now to get a H brace harVTEC

Looking good mate, I would have bought a brand new Beaks bar if they were paying for it, your's now has scratches! Is the noise you're explaining the one in the video you put on Civiclife? If so I reckon it's a wheel bearing. Jack up the car and check for play in the wheel. harVTEC

That's right, a genuine BEAKS bar is over £150 new last time I looked, where the Tegiwa one is £65 if I remember correctly? I'll be getting one soon harVTEC Me too!! Might have to try and arrange a group buy if there's a few of us interested harVTEC

Lovely Deck mate, the wheels suit the colour perfectly! I noticed you removed the mudflaps, would you be interested in selling them? I know with a lot of lowered cars they are the first thing to be 'removed' (by the road usually haha) Some good plans too harVTEC

I was going to buy one from a member on here for about that a little while back. It's the drop links that are so expensive! You got your's cheap, I'm sure the only ones on eBay are £26 EACH! I wouldn't pay that for them. As said before I wanted a complete one and needed the brackets too, so one day, bored I typed in 'MG ZS180 ARB' and this one came up Can't wait for it to arrive, should be here to fit by Saturday. Then a thorough test and review will be done harVTEC

As knight said, was that second hand? harVTEC

Did it make a good difference? That's about the average s/h price I think, I've been offered a few for that harVTEC

That's what I thought I'm not too fussed about second hand parts, I'd rather pay half the price for a used part providing it's working as it should be. Certain things I'd only buy new, but I've got some bargains buying second hand. A full set of tyres for my Mum's car with 7mm of tread for £55! Toyos as well! harVTEC

Might be worth cleaning your idle control valve. My Dad had this on his DC5, especially if the car wasn't used for a week. harVTEC

Is the drive shaft oil seal (1 of them) number 15 in this picture http://www.hondaoriginalparts.com/honda_car_parts_selection_pfk.php?block_01=17ST311&block_02=M__0200&block_03=17466 Thanks. harVTEC

Hi, Thank you I have just got a water pump, however I'm not sure what part is the drive shaft oil seal. If you get a minute could you tell me what part it is on this diagram http://www.hondaoriginalparts.com/honda_car_parts_selection_pfk.php?block_01=17ST311&block_02=B__2100&block_03=17466 Also where would I get the gear selector seal? Is it a gearbox part? Thanks for your help. harVTEC

I know the Beaks bar for the DC2 / EG will fit. Shadz has one.

Alright everyone, I'm taking my engine out next month to do the clutch, I thought I may as well take it out and give the engine bay a clean etc. I plan on doing a complete service while it's out including headgasket and cam belt. Basically I have a list of everything I needed and have got, could people tell me what else I may need please? OIL OIL FILTER CLUTCH KIT FUEL FILTER POLLEN FILTER AIR FILTER GEARBOX OIL TIMING BELT FULL GASKET KIT COOLANT Before I start I want to have everyhting, I am using OEM parts only. Thanks in advance for any help harVTEC

Oops I was willing to pay everything in my Paypal, came home to find I'd won it haha. Bargain then. harVTEC

Hello everyone, Well it is a mod I have wanted since getting my MB3 in October 2010, the MG ZS ARB. I've never really got round to getting one, I wanted a complete one with the hangers as I only have a 1.5, it didn't come with a rear ARB as standard so had no mounting brackets. This came up and I won it, in my opinion an absolute bargain http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/180792288774?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 So I paid £26.52 including delivery, I nearly bought one needing drop links for £30 before! Is it safe to say I should notice it, going from no ARB to the MB6's upgrade Over the moon. harVTEC

Yeah what I mean are the H emblems on the centre caps, are they not a domed sticker kinda thing? harVTEC

Ah nice one, sounds relatively straight forward Guna look into getting one. Did you buy the stickers for the centre caps on the wheels? If so pleaseeeee tell me where you got them / send me a link, they're what I want for mine but can't find em anywhere! Cheers. harVTEC

Cheers for the reply, what sort of modding was needed to make them fit? harVTEC

Love this car, mine looks similar. Same wheels but mine are 15s off the Jordan due to being 4x100. Where did you get your LCAs and bottom tie bar? Can't find any for the MB, are they EK fitment? Cheers. harVTEC
