    PAINT JOB

    Materials cost £400 -£500 for a full respray. I really wouldn't trust sending my car to someone who's business is "on it's ****" as any trades man who runs a business well and provides a quality service stays busy no matter what the financial climate is like. Close friend of mine of sc...

    K04 Rebuild, how difficult?

    You need to have means of balancing the turbo mate so not a job for the diyer, £300 sounds cheap for a rebuild though. As far as hybrids go you won't need forged internals on a standard map but if you want to use it's full potential then I'd definitely say you'd need a set of con rods. Rob

    Fault Diagnosis time.... (We all love this)

    I would say it'll either be a tyre or more likey another wheel bearing they do 'throw' noise so can be hard to diagnose. Jack the car upon the other 3 corners and spin the wheel listening for roughness and feel any play in the wheel with your hands 10-2 and 12-6. That's the mot method anyway lol

    Overfilled Oil...

    The problem you'll find with over filling oil is it builds up crankcase pressure and can cause the big end bearings to fail, I had it at work last week on a Alfa 156. I'd buy, borrow or steal a 19mm socket and get some out. Saying that you may be ok but I certainly wouldn't want to risk it...
