yeah its all about the drum ajustment , i take out a wheel bolt and tweak the ajuster a bit more so they just bind with one click on the hanbrake
then get used to braking from the hip with your whole leg rather than at the ankle lol

got a helicoil in the polo , always a bit worried about it unwinding when i change the plugs its been okay a couple of times so far
don't think id ever use copper grease on the threads again , the heat from the head dries it out and leaves it all gummy next time you try and remove it

as for rebuilding your cali , its not too hard
keep it all super clean , soak the new seals in fluid or sometimes they come with some jollop to soak them in
if you use compressed air to pop out the pistons , use a block of wodd to sit where the pads did so the piston cant fly out like a bomb

buy it then get online and insure it and tax it , get you pants pulled down and pay tax from the 1st of the month regardless of the date
if its localish i would be asking if the owner would consider delivering it and me giving them a lift home assuming they're still legal to drive it

well only you can decide on that
if theres 1.5 of near boiling coolant entering the cabin then youd prob know about it , misty screen and it smells a bit too
run it up over some dry cardboard and have a very good look with a torch around the rad and hoses etc, if its a leak it should be pretty obvious

points towards headgasket , if its leaking that much I'm sure you would see it on the road or wet carpets

id agree that 2-3 grinders are the way to go , have one with each sanding wheel on it
if youre going to beat on em argos offer up a warrenty for a few quid , not sure id bother though if its just some home diy use

some of the vw's used a small cylinder looking limiter inline , could fit those anywhere along the run where it looks neat
gti with the rear disc had a big ol lump bolted to the rear beam which had a lever that moved depending on the load of the car

most of these exhaust places are aimed at young lads that are chuffed with the sort of sound they get , few universal cans sat on the shelf that will be fitted to anything for 1300 to 3000cc
had a stainless system on my g60 , i think the boost must make them worse as it was terrible at motorway speeds , made me hate the car , i went back to standard system and its great , no power loss and still sounds nice enough as 80s cars werent as muffled as new stuff

yeah what he said if youre paying
if at home without any special gear , then weld a fag packet size plate to the dent and cobble up some way of using a pole with one end under the car and you levering down on the other end , works pretty well if you get the plate in the right place , then some filler work to finish it off
