Nice one Frank... Being the legend you are I'm gonna go out on a limb & ask if you happen to have a picture of said process showing pistons & guide pins?

Cheers Frank, another route to go down if I need to... Is it just a case of getting some grease in there?

Nice one, so don't it completely apart, do one pin at a time, yeah?... May sound daft but is it 2 pins a caliper?

I do a fair bit of fast driving... Majority of my route to & from work is 70 & 50 roads... Though sticking to back roads at the minute due to my caliper problems... Doing a good ol' run up to Liverpool soon (brakes will be sorted by then) so we'll see how she does...

I have a big tub of carlube grease, will that do or should I be using brake specific grease because of temp etc? Again, heard copper grease can cause problems? Is it just a case of removing caliper, separating it, removing & cleaning pins then greasing it all up? Not going to need to bleed them...

My gauge never really goes past just under half way... Could be cold weather, was just curious & paranoid as usual... Flushed coolant system a while back & didn't remove thermostat as recommended by Haynes but coolant was pretty clean anyway... Was just worried I'd goosed it somehow?... Just...

Noticed lately my fan doesn't seem to be kicking in at all? Any ideas what might cause this? Thermostat?

Lookin good mate, nice motor! To be fair, I'm usually all for de-bump stripping but yours look quite nice, nice shape & colour coded so don't think they'd ruin the look of the car if you left them on!? I'd spray the splitter & grey bits of plastic the same colour as the grilles though...

Could also be a break or loose connection in the hose that runs to the rear washer jet... I had same problem in my old Polo... It's surprising how much water collects...

Yeah, 3mm is thinnest I could find... Prob is I'm using closed lugs but can always put standard nuts on first to check I guess?

Just a quick one... What are the thinnest wheel spacers you can get & would I need to extend my studs at all? This is in relation to my Rostyles which with a bit of luck should be going on next week... Just still concerned with them being lug centric rather than hub centric...

Ah, mines early facelift were fogs go under the number plate in centre grille bit...

SirChris & Stani... How hard to do & any good guides on here? Never worked on my own brakes before so a bit nervous, especially with such a big journey planned... As for grease, will normal grease do? Have heard different things about using copper grease?

It is... It's annoying to say the least... Even more annoying is the garage I took it to afterwards who said they'd looked at it cleaned everything & it was all ok... Broke one of my wheel studs in the process damn grease monkeys!... :(

Are they facelift and are they early facelift or later facelift as I may be interested?...

Well if you fancy I'll bang a picture of mine up, and if you throw a pic of yours up we'll see where we are & do a straight swap if you fancy? Still haven't received mine yet but it is on the way... Yours does have tge standard speakers in doesn't it?

Like I say, depending on price & if redhot doesn't want it I might be interested... Sounds like you've got a good mine of parts mate...

Is it a proper K11 kit & do the fogs have the connectors on them as wiring is already there for mine... If Redhotmicra doesn't take them I'd be interested depending on price... Any pics poss?

Im thinking I might just chop the speakers out & put them into mine maybe? Depends how much work it seems but can't imagine it'll be too much bother? As I said, with the stuff you're getting rid off I can't imagine or wait to see what you're replacing it all with! Gonna be awesome I bet!? No...
