chompy_snake Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Well I have had this motor for a while. I decided to keep things quiet until I knew that I was going to keep it! It's something that I know very well and is HDi so cheap to run! Ronnie Pickering! 2.0 HDi 90 flavour. First order of the day .... Rebuild the calipers I had from one I pulled the engine to go into FH02UHZ. The 2.0 pez conversion manual I made! These are the larger ESP model brakes that are 283mm diameter and 26mm thick discs.I like to be able to stop. They replaced these That had to be removed like this as the calipers wouldn't push back in! They now look like this!All done by me and cost less than £130 to do the entire rebuild including discs and pads (ECP are doing 50% off brakes). I'm moving onto the rear drums next as the handbrake only works properly on 1 side and it shows when braking harder than normal.

chompy_snake Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 Enough issues for me to return the car from where it came so it has a chance to live on to fight another day. Didn't kill it but wouldn't have lasted if I kept it on They_all_do_that_sir 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loserone Posted January 25, 2019 Share Posted January 25, 2019 Having driven several hundred miles in said 2.0 EW10 converted Picasso, I think this is the right car for you. That one is bloody brilliant. chompy_snake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two new tyres, disks and pads and we are good to go again!! 2.0 HDI 118K on the clock... whats yours? Aston Martin and chompy_snake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chompy_snake Posted January 25, 2019 Author Share Posted January 25, 2019 I really enjoy them tbh. Always miss them when I own something else and they are the least expected sleeper in the universe. Hell I think a horsey horseless V8 would be more expected! cpjitservices 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavcraft Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 Social media, Gumtree and Schpock are a nightmare to sell stuff on. Worth advertising on here or doing a Roffle? If cheap it'd sell/sell out in no time. UltraWomble 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongs wound me up so much I am taking it to the scrap yard because I will end up killing someone if I have to try selling the fecker againI’m with you on this. It’s not worth entertaining the crazy folks on Gumtree etc. When I’ve finished with stuff it just gets baled. Harsh but after the last time I can’t be arsed with it. chompy_snake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If cheap it'd sell/sell out in no time.Firmly agree with all of the above. What pisses me off on gumtree is that instead of taking the 10 seconds to type out a short sentence along the lines of "would you accept £400 for the car", you just get "£400". Its just fucking lazy and impolite. The one time i replied straight away to one of these accepting the offer, i never got a reply! Its these kind of people that should have their access to the internet restricted or even better, prohibited!
