Re: Merlin's 2.2 VTi H22a8 - ATR Brakes
I just bent them back a little. They will still cover most of the disc.
Me and 3rd Gen Steve fixed a few bits on the car last night. I fixed my front fog lights, they hadnt worked in ages, and Steve replaced my distributor o-ring.
The sludge showing where the oil leak was
The old brittle o-ring Vs the new supple one
Cleaned up a little with the new o-ring on

He Merlin,
Fogs are cool... but whats with the spagetti light panel? The wiring should be there already! looks a bit messy..
Also they shouldn't work without the side/dim lights on..
Good job on the brake setup BTW. and smart tire choice in the UK

Re: Merlin's 2.2 VTi H22a8
They weren't working because when I installed them I used 2 of those crappy clip connectors to join 2 wires. I had to go back and do it properly by soldering themLude-dude wrote:what was up with the fogs?
It may look a mess but it isnt I have a UK car that didn't have OEM fogs so I had to make the wiring myself as all I got was OEM fogs and the JDM switch. I wired it so that I could use the front fogs without the head lights needing to be on.gb-lude wrote:He Merlin,

I changed the front engine mount over today. I thought it was split.
I had to get the radiator out of the way to get the mount out.
The big split in the mount
Old one next to the better one going in

Re: Merlin's 2.2 VTi H22a8
From where I could squeeze my head in I could see that it wasn't in the best of shape, I didn't know that massive split was there though. Plus due to the age of the car I would have bet on it being knackered
