    i have that same tube! :lol: i used castrol LM grease on my bearings - also available from halfrauds - just depends on what the store has in stock i guess. keep us updated as usual pal :)[/quote:394zew7j] The steering rack grease tube from VW?! I had to special order mine from Munich! Maybe you got the last UK one :censored: :lol: Ah yeah, LM sounds good to me, cheers!

    Thanks you guys! I still have a massive tube of steering rack grease. I wonder whether it is suitable for high speed bearings - probably not. Oh well, anyone need a rack refurbing?! :norty:

    Ah thanks Judith! I'll pop down there then. Need some brake cleaner before I put the discs on anyways :salute: :D

    Just realised my febi rear wheel bearings don't come with a little pouch of grease. I think when I did the Jetta's bearings, I used some thick grey stuff - could be lithium grease? Anyone got any pointers? :confused4: Thanks, Jon.

    This isn't the best forum to ask on mate. Try Edition 38 or No-Rice for that kind of specific info :salute:

    Yeah as Toad says, you could try some Hermatite or other instant gasket stuff - auto factors should stock it. I don't think PTFE / Plumber's tape will do much as there isn't a thread for it to get squeezed against?

    awesome awesome work with that leather mate! looks amazing :clap: pretty good work all around through the project too, it's always nice to see attention to detail! I'll give it a proper read in the morning :salute:

    Hi mate, you sure can replace that; the problem is that the housing has probably warped too, so you should pick one of those up aswell. O-ring (part number: 535121687) Plastic housing (part number 535121647) Bolt washers x2 (part number N 0122265) Bolts x2 (part number N 0103664 55mm long, or N 0102228 for the 22mm items) Whole lot should be around £15 I think. hope this helps, Jon.

    See what I did there? I should be in advertising. 8)

    Reading original post, "getting hot" would point to air intake temps at the manifold, hence why an FMIC was suggested as a cure. Yes, running lean would put you down on power and I also agree that you would melt a piston with the fuelling and heat issues over summer.

    the gearbox mount should look like a flycing saucer: steel disc in the middle with rubber either side. the pics on AVS are normally pretty good. Hope you get it sorted!

    it involves maths :dorky: I love it :lol: :luvlove:

    On the RSX I don't think the knob is on the top by the tiop munt, I think it's just above the bottom mount where it enters the hub. That's what Google is telling me anyways :dorky:

    be careful with WD40, it may contaminate your brake fluid.

    generally, more than 2 is for looks and people who love ditches. Davidwort has put up the correct value in minutes.

    I doff my cap to you sir, what a find! :chef:

    That's a good list Jay. I don't know why the Red C's seem to be low maintenance but people seem to be spending less on them, or getting better deals all over the shop! Riley sold his £225 one recently for a profit too!

    you'll need a 36mm (IIRC) spanner and Mr. T to do track rods, or do you just mean the ball joints at the end? bushes I farmed out to a garage, cost me about £20 in labour - i supplied beam and bushes.

    you want to know what you've spent over leathers? filthy newbies :nono:

    ooooh oooh, I'm saying 5! No wait, 7........ 10?!

    they're not substantially different, it's very subtle! not many people could tell them apart.

    I can't remember anyone having done this mod.

    links snap, mounts are just rubber so either crack or go soft. Get both anyways.
