    Ac condenser - 4200

    Evening all. Anyone know an alternative part to the AC condenser on a 4200 (Euro spec)? Part number 181106 Unsurprisingly the project cars one is in quite poor condition so might as well replace while it’s off the car if there’s an alternative part for sensible money. Thanks in advance.

    Brake Caliper Overhaul (GS / 4200)

    Picked up a set of used 4200 calipers in the US for a bargain price of £120. My plan is to refurbish them and colour change to red. After 15 years probably due some love. I got a quote to overhaul my existing ones but was put off by the nearly £900 cost. Since the spare set are from a dry state...

    Thermostat / sensor and rad clean

    Since I was changing the coolant i thought I’d might as replace the stat and temp sensor, much harder than it sounds due to lack of access, (needs a deep 19mm socket for sensor) allow for skinned knuckles and plenty cursing. Also cleaned the space between ac condenser and coolant rad, this was...
