« on: 05 September 2016, 20:13:58 »You're worrying too much. Put the spirit-level away, and just do the job on flat, level ground. That will be good enough.
And if I was going to worry about it, the fillers are on the side of very shallow sumps, so the side-to-side angle is at least as important as front-to-back. The crown of the road outside my house is enough for my estate not to start when the fuel level is low.

i suspect that if you take off the driveshaft cv joint cover and beat out the damage with a hammer,the horrible noises you mention will disappear. ps why are you changing the other driveshaft?

« on: 21 July 2015, 09:46:27 »Don't suppose the canister purge valve and rear multiram solenoid connections have got swapped? Or one of them swapped with the temperature sender? Wouldn't be the first time.

Omega General Help / Re: Garage in London to change rear wheel bearing
« on: 12 September 2013, 23:16:29 »There's nothing particularly special about the tools. The bearing itself is easily done with the same tools used for a front wheel drive bearing(my set was about £40). A bit of ingenuity is required to extract the hub first; mine was cobbled together out of scrap in about 15minutes.ahh a man most definitely after my own heart .I doff my cap to you sir.
I've now done two, both in the street outside my house in about 3 hours each time. In a workshop, with the car on a lift and with airtools I would expect that to be under 2.

« on: 10 September 2013, 21:19:32 »As said back to condiion immediately prior to damage - if to a better standard you will be charged the assessed "betterment" charge (eg if any panel had rust/damage not caused by incident)as I understand it,if the value of the car is less than the cost of repairs then its a write off.insurance only has to put you back in the financial position you were before the incident.ie if a car is worth £300 then their maximum liability is £300.would love to be proved wrong tho.
Just stand your ground, and threats of court action usually work in these circumstances. Immaterial if costs exceed cars value - you are entitled to have your car back in the condition it was pre accident, as it was not in any way your fault.
