I'll do an alternator change in the nearish future.

Alright then:

SkinzCinqsporting: Cinq Rear Light Change/Bulb Change
Gearbox Mount (when I buy one )
Powl: Alternator Change (?)

Well I need to take a look at my reverse bulb because it stoped working after I refitted it after the reverse beeper. It's so laughably simple I wouldn't have thought you'd need a guide, but I'll get the pics tomorrow while I have it off and post them on here for you guys.

Powl: Alternator Change (?)
col7104: Sei rear light/bulb change, maybe a GT caliper upgrade if I do it myself (once I've sourced the calipers).

 

[custard]

thats the idea.
even simple jobs,especially on the sei with no haynes.
for some people even bulb changes are a garage job

POWL: Alternator Change (when I get fed up of playing musical batteries), battery relocation if people think this is worth doing & possible complete dash change over

Just bought new plugs and leads so will do a quick guide to changing them for the 1.1spi;

Aye, i could write it up but pics would help!
Need to do the guide for the lights, have all the pics!

 

[GoBe]

Battery change done, writing the article took longer than the change though.

SkinzCinqSporting, add pictures retrospectively? That's what I'll do, my camera started to play up mid-job but just having the guide there is useful.

 

[SkinzCinqSporting]

Could do POWL actually, but I have it all in my head anyway, just don't want to take the plugs back out for the sake of a few picture's, I don't have the time

 

[custard]

no need to remove the plugs really.
just a pic of the plug area etc

 

[SkinzCinqSporting]

True C, I'll get on the case when i sober up after this weekend

 

[custard]

c'mon all you cento'ers
wheres the guide for unsticking handbrakes and clearing blocked washer nozzles?

 

[col7104]

Thats a good idea, my right hand washer nozzles blocked. Might do it tomorrow....

Except I don't know how LOL, I'm guessing a pim or something, inserted up there.

 

[custard]

depends how clogged it is.pin can sometimes clear it.
if its really gunked you may need to remove the nozzles and soak them

 

[StoneNewt]

I'd love to write a how to but the only thing I could possibly do is the mechanical spacer thing...

 

[custard]

as said it can be anything.
remember we have members who would struggle with changing bulbs,wiper blades etc whereas others are comfortable with engine swaps etc
