New coil pack = new car .... runs like a dream !

Cheers for that :(

Cheers for that guys - think I might raid the piggy bank ... ;)

... anyone :huh: .

Some advice gents please ... Still got a misfire - runs 10 times better though now new leads & plgs have been fitted but a nagging misfire. Took the coil pack off today - crack in the casing - not sure if this is the problem ? Looked at the terminals and as you can see - they were all sharp golden except for one which was dark brown - surely the misfire ? Cleaned it up - re-fitted and runs slightly better. Do the think the coil pack has had its day ... dont want to buy a new one unless I have too :huh: Ta http://img638.imageshack.us/img638/2987/dscf8326crop.jpg http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/2582/dscf8325crop.jpg http://img97.imageshack.us/img97/9356/dscf8328crop.jpg

Got hold of a lock nut remover ... 13/16 - too big ! Looks like the head left is around 11/16 ? Anyone know if the Laser set of removers are smaller than 13/16 ? Looks like the bolt is seized in the disc as well - bloody Kwikfit & air wrenches :46:

Managed to shear off the locking wheel nut and in the process shred the key :) Still got the code so hopefully be able to order a new key ... but ... How do I remove the remnants of the bolt ? HELP :)

Just an update those who are interested ! All done and sounds lovely ... PITA to remove the old one - trusty angle grinder came in useful - cut the centre section pipe in 2 and much easier to remove the section from the rear with the rear section box attached - easier if you remove the spare wheel to give you some movement ... pull the whole lot from the rear ... remaining centre section box slid off the cat without too much fuss ... New centre section went straight in no problems & rear box was a doddle ... Had the car up on ramps only which was just enough space to work - support the cat on an axle stand to prevent strain etc on the downpipes ... mmm whilst I got the spare wheel off - might as well change it over to one of the worn ones I thought .... WRONG ... snapped the friggin' locking wheel nut AND the key - both knackered :)

Excellent site - cheers BK ! ;)

Well I uttered a few... not quite as many as when I replaced the front springs though... :D lol ... thats beyond my simple skills ;)

You may still need more clearance to get the new exhaust in. It slides over the axle easier, but you still need to get the front of the new pipe down to clear the body over the axle. I used decent sized ramps at the back, but it was still tight - you could jack from there onto axle stands to make it easier, but make sure they aren't in your way. Clamps are standard 58/60mm clamps from cat back, u-bolt clamps are fine. I seem to remember I reused the original clamp at the cat - IIRC it was a sturdy stainless affair, though I think I renewed the bolt. Don't forget a bit of exhaust paste for the joints. Thanks again SP - exhaust ordered - hopefully here tomorrow ... Might run a side bet on the number of swear words I will use ;)

Thanks SP .... only got small ramps so will have to make do with those unless I cut it up in situ perhaps ? Looking underneath today - I noticed that the pipe going onto the Cat was an unusual flat 2 piece type clamp - about an inch wide ... I think this is the original clamp as it has never been changed to my knowledge ... Does it need to have the same type again or is it a case of a clamp is a clamp is a clamp !!! long as it seals ...
