Not sure what you're asking jim, higher tyre pressure makes them harder, lower profile gives less adjustment of tyre pressure and a harder ride. with the way the roads are I would go smaller wheels larger profile tyres.

225 50 R17 give the best ride imho, had 18s on with 45s but a bit rough with the roads the way they are today.

I would have suggested the thermostat if you weren't sure it's the radiator.

Get some wd40 in there and see if it helps. My Daughter had a renault captur and the drivers door wouldn't open from inside the car all of a sudden, sprayed wd40 in all the holes and it was ok again.

Way too much, get more quotes It seems to me that the dual mass flywheel costs more than the clutch kit combined, so how do you know if that needs replacing at the same time?

Exactly my intensions, only does it when I'm booting it. I'm on 193779 miles now ( did oil and filter today ) wonder how long it will last until it's completely knackered. Looking back, I seem to have been very lucky with cars, I'm 60 now and never had to replace a clutch on any of the vehicles...

That sounds like a ridiculous amount and more than my car is worth at present.

Not temporary, been doing it a while now. What is your place charging for a clutch replacement these days? you can pm me that if you don't want to advertise it. Any cheaper if I source the parts?

So, I put my foot down and the revs shoot up to 3-4k but then drop back a few hundred, Like acceleration is turned off temporarily, so I back off the throttle a bit and the revs start climbing again. Don't notice it much in 1st or 2nd, worse in 3rd and 4th. Is this a sign of the clutch going?

Better to get it removed and deleted

I wouldn't even go down the full drain route as it could upset the gearbox, had a couple of volvo geartronics in the past and it wasn't recommended to do a full replacement, plus it was much more problematic at the same time. As F6HAD pointed out, much better for the gearbox to do a partial...

I can't find anything cheaper for 20L so it'll have to do.

Anybody used this before? On sale, 20 litres for £79.99 ...

Found this: Think he means the bleed nipples. Whole thread here: https://typeaccord.co.uk/board/threads/brake-bleeding-mityvac.19468/

This is the one I ended up getting: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/esen-skv/16009875

Did mine a while ago and the first two I got off ebay were wrong even though the part number matched and it said it would fit my vehicle. I ended up getting one from Autodoc. As you look down on it where the 4 bolts go in does it have a bump on two sides between the bolt holes?

Must be the calliper, did you check the seal was fitted the right way around

Maybe get someone to apply the brake while you look for a leak, should leak under pressure and then draw air in when released. Possibly a brake pipe or line or calliper connection.

I'd be checking the heater motor fuse first

Get searching on ebay, you can usually find what you need if you persevere. I've spent hours looking for stuff like this, often it's all about the wording.
