It looks like I might be able to hammer it in, but it'll be nightmare handling the breather pipe, and the [thick] positive wires out of the box (the whole thing is under the driver's footwell floor).
I'll go for the type 96 instead - 278mm will fit fine, and still more juice than recommended type 27
Thanks, pretty sure an AGM battery would be out of my budget ha haNot sure if this helps but I fitted a AGM battery to my 168, part number A004 541 8601. 70 Ah 760A. Cold cranking is a big improvement over the old 62Ah battery!
Interesting!Managed to get some wax on the white one yesterday. It's had three good coats now over the last couple of weeks which it's going to need as it's still having to live outside till I can get some form of cover built for it.
I used THIS STUFF which, whilst looking a bit weird (and smelling worse) is an excellent, albeit synthetic, product and a hit over in Japan and over here with the JDM boys. Made by Fusso apparently who certainly know what they're doing.
Interesting!
My Kamikaze stuff has lasted barely 6 months so I'm going back to Swissvax (I say 'I' in the broadest sense!!)
Who did these Alex?Picked these up at the weekend from my refurbisher, very pleased with the outcome.
I'm saying nothing....Hoovered out the weeks takings of crumbs, dirt and various other lovelies that seem to accumulate in the foot wells
Then tackled this issue.....
Boy I hate aftermarket mods of inferior quality

Now I know why the side light has been flashing like a police car for the last few months
Who did these Alex?
One small concern I currently have is that I bought these calipers for the refurb and then I've had a closer look at the calipers currently on my CL500 (MY2000) and they are slightly different. These might be off 2003 onwards and I don't know if they are backwards compatible??
If they don't fit I'll be gutted
Alex
I'm considering a caliper refurb on my MY2000 CL, so please let me know...
I'm saying nothing....
Gross!!!!!!!
The majority of it caused by 1 x 5yo girl and 1 x 1yo girl. Oh and one full vacuum cleaner's worth of assorted crumbs/ twigs/ guff too
