I take it they're ball joint bolts? As Corsa b doesn't have a wishbone?
Progress is good mate! Nothing like the first journey in a car you've built yourself!

Kylesri - Is it? Yer heat wrap usually smokes anyway doesn't it? I just dont want it melting the fan Il u2u you a link of it if you like

Sean - thanks, generation the guy that was helping me out just called them that I went to vaux and they new exactly what they were so people defently call them that too.

Wow i phoned autovaux yesterday at 3pm and bits came already this morning! Cant fault their service!



Was like playing one of those games at the school fate when your a kid looking for a toy in amongst the shreds of paper! Was fun



New 8v sump gasket and baffle plate and new oil filter Probably wont get these fitted until next week sometime as Darryl is sending the 8v bolts! Should have a good update tonight hopefully!
