  1. That was also greatly assisted by my pal at Autozone. The reviews I left for him were positive.
  2. I followed these instructions to a tee, and the wheel is still on there, so that's promising. After you confirm it's okay, I'll also use the ones on the left. In brief, I went to Autozone and replaced the most critical calliper as the shop was going to charge me too much to replace both of them. I will repair both of them together when I save up for a better set.
  3. Salutations everyone, I was hoping to find a technical manual online to refer to when I replace the front passenger brakes, rotor, and calliper. Are these the callipers that ECS Tuning has posted acceptable? Your help with this would be greatly appreciated.
  4. Thank you! On the way home, I couldn't help but crack a smile. I had to out-couch some cowboys to get this one. With 68k and a service history that spans the whole universe, I'm crossing my fingers that she'll be a keeper. I am crossing my fingers for a clan-safe purchase because there is no chain noise... in the next twelve months, I will budget for a whole chain kit, coolant, and an oil change for my car.
  5. I finally got a car that I can appreciate after upgrading my 25-year-old Yariz. I enjoy tinkering, where feasible, and am delighted to do it myself. I am also happy to acknowledge when I am overwhelmed.
  6. Haven’t bought from them myself but I’ve heard the name mentioned A mate of mine does bits of work with a garage that prepares cars for companies like that. From what he said, a lot of their stock comes from finance repossessions and fleet clearances Didn’t sound like anything dodgy from what he told me
  7. I’m still not convinced, bank transfer is basically zero protection if something goes wrong. What’s stopping them from just ignoring you?
  8. I have not encountered anything similar to this issue in my 6,600 miles of driving. I would take it to the dealer to have it examined!
  9. Hello! I'm also from the Narborough district of Leicestershire. Every third Sunday from 9:30 am to 1:00 pm, you may find a local meet at Jenno's Coffee House in Narborough's Carlton Park. It's a popular event that happens all year. There are always a couple Mercs there, so drop by if you have the time.
  10. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=oil cooler&campid=5338181132&customid=2518X1570512X5cf8b9064c18ddce5b4565b854902679&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&subId2=15&toolid=10001
  11. Understood. I have a brief inquiry. Last night, I was compiling all the torque specifications for reassembly (any comprehensive list would be greatly appreciated). It indicates that the oil cooler screws should be set to 12 Nm, which seems appropriate; however, some sources state that they are stretch bolts and must be replaced, while others do not mention this requirement. Is anyone aware? I will likely replace them nonetheless; but, they do not appear to be TTY (stretch) bolts. Salutations.
  12. The glow plugs are functioning adequately and are easily accessible in the event of failure; therefore, I will defer any action regarding them for the time being. 👍
  13. I intended to convey that the purple seals had a sealant applied. To my knowledge, none is required. Am I mistaken, or was the previous owner only exercising excessive caution?
  14. This occurred approximately three and a half hours later...gulp!
