A Few questions

Postby Syn » Thu Dec 18, 2008 4:16 pm

Hey all, ive tryed using search but i dont find it that good, it seems to just bring up loads of stuff i dont want. So just a few questions for yer...

1. Im gona do full service on the girl soon so gonna replace cambelt, ordering the whole overhaul kit off camskill, im quite mechanically minded so is there any special tools im really gona need before doing it (dont wana get half way through and realise i cant do it for lack of something!!) Never done one before but im hoping i'll be alright.

2. What brake fluid do i need to get, mines goin spongey

3. Is 5 litres of oil enough for full oil change

4. Can anyone recommend decent brake pads (and maybe discs). Ive had ebc greenstuffs on my last car (ibiza 1.6 sport) and hated them, went back to standard pads and thought they were much better, i dont like the way theyre crap when cold.

5. And is it worth paying the extra £30 for denso iridiums rather than ngk iridiums?

Other things im doing is gearbox oil which ive read how to, castrol syntrax recommended? or is there anything better.

Thanks for any help received
