Cheers Jamie!

I got them from a local Motorspares. Just bought like 5 of each size. Originally bought some of the Bay but they were cheap and just broke once tightened up.

Thanks lads.

Update : 17.04.2012

Last couple of days i've had a few things arrive.

-Thermostat gasket
-Radiator fan switch plug
-Rear gearbox mount

So got them all fitted today with my dad and topped her back up with coolant that i had drained. No leaks now Next was my cambered wheel,got that straightened out and looks 10x better.

So now there's was only one thing now and that was to get some petrol,so went down and filled jerry can up and filled her up.

Here's a few pictures from other day though.gave her a well deserved wash and polish and showing her true reflection :











And today's progress :

Bits that arrived,cheers Fazza for bolt for mount





How it started off



Fitted radiator switch plug







And i found this in my bedroom so banged that on



And then for the big news!!! Took it for a spin after filling her up and everythings ok as i can see. Slowed down for speed bumps etc and no scraping,splitter did abit coming off drive but overall i'm happy with it.

I scared ah Luke to death init aswell. Put foot down in second!!









And that's it for now lads. Thanks again Fazza for rear bolt,needed that doing asap.

Is it done? Hmmmm..... good question mate.

Irm needs rest of loom checking as ECU light is on,need to let car tick over and make sure radiator etc is working ok. Can't think of anything else. Take it that's a good thing.

Really happy nothing went badly wrong but the thing that's bugging me atm is the smell from heat wrap. I take it it's normal as it's still trying to bond right?
