Really???

Anyone want my 180 Rad, all the fans and Aircon rad + fans???? :zorro:

Wasn't there a guy on xpf doing refurbed 180 rads a while back??
Could have been rallymat I think??

Rob

He did look into it I believe, it might be worth contacting him if any one is in need of a rad.

Looks like ZS has a rad for me :D

Result :-D

Opened a dispute against the company regarding the radiator and still there asking for me to send it back... some people!

Anyways;

I've had a look in the fuse box and seems i'm missing the 100amp fuse , where can i get hold of these?

The main fuse, where the Red lead enters the fuse box ?

One of these http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/Item--i-GRID003179

I think I have a fuse box in the garage too... When I package your Rad up I'll throw in the Fuse as well if you like? - Just let me know for deff which it is (picture if possible)

Heres the fuse box and diagram.

Looks like i'm just missing the 100amp

You're not missing it, it was never fitted, it's for diesels only.

Ah okay. Learning everyday! thanks

Looking at the clutch today and there's not alot of meat on it...

Any recommendations?

You could try www.carparts4less.co.uk £135 + £18 for delivery to Spain

Didn't realize how messy this job was lol - Grease everywhere

Your fairly getting stuck into this, looks like your making good progress too. Look forward to more of your updates:)

Good progress, I like to see shiny new bits! :D

To my surprise i'm really enjoying it. Lets see when it needs to all go in lol

Yea don't speak too soon! It only takes one stupid thing to set you back and really hack you off. Fair play for getting stuck in, at least there's a good level of satisfaction when you look back and reflect on what you've accomplished.

I've finally got the refund from ebayer cwvehicledismantlers < Avoid at all cost if you can.

I made a Paypal dispute against the broken radiator they sent out to me.They wanted me to pay to send it back. Paypal also said i should send the item back ! Joke or what. Got on the blower to Paypal and they understood the situation and refunded me in the full. Happy days

Seems like you guys also had problems with these monkeys so another good lesson learnt on why not to buy from them!

Rant over :D

I'm glad it got sorted in the end, it seemed totally pointless returning it.

Something for the future but i've seen various forums with people using Pug 407 brembo calipers. Do these require different brackets etc??

Worth the hassle or not?

I would say... do your research first, but if you are only going to use it on the road they are probably not really worth it :) The OE 180 brakes are blooming good for a road car, and with some upgraded compounds are not too shabby for a track car IMO

I would say not worth it for a standard 180.

Ah right - I knew the brakes were already good as standard but we all look for that extra ;)

Thanks guys

Mines pretty much standard.
I've just ordered them because they look good and all the cool kids have brembos!

That's actually the reason i'd want them haha

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4pcs-Red-3...item3f282ffd49 :whistle:

Hahaha!
Well I've just saved hundreds!
I'll let you know how they stop!

Get yourself onto the group buy on the fixtures/fittings and discs. Then find the calumets and you're sorted.

Just upgrade the pads to yellow stuff, fit groved discs, replace the hoses for braided and change the brake fluid, cheaper than upgrading to pugs and give you the edge on O/E spec.

Okay ordered some more goodies today :

Yellow stuff pads ( All 4 )
Braided hoses
Xsara washer jets

Bank balance at this time is quickly becoming low lol - Going to make this the best i can get within the £4k budget.

Gearbox and all other parts are with my parents in the UK , they shall be shipped over monday/tuesday next week. Exciting stuff! :D

Ahhhh Remind me tonight to get your rad boxed up!!!

I sent you a PM on the 11th but was waiting for a reply :( i got impatience or ordered it from a broker when i go the gearbox.

Sorry bud but thanks anyways

On the 11th? (That was sunday right?) I must have missed that one... Never mind :) you needed to do what was best and quickest for you, and me being :sleeping::sleeping: was too slow.

No worries.

Waiting game now for the parts..... bored..

Got an insurance quote for the MZ - Took them 15 minutes to find the car model.

Worked out 1500 euros fully comp (290 excess), with 2 years no comp or 2700 euros with no excess haha

Expensive but the best quote i've got so far.

Eesh, thats a lot of dough for insuring a ZS!
