The fun continues then! With regards to changing the front lines how feasible is it having the car on axle stands with engine in? Is it a case of wiggling them right or is there too much in the way?

Will be fine on axle stands, just put the wheels underneath for back up, not hard to get the pipes off they are not that complicated, this will give you the idea https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/284600419805

Calipers off and renewing everything which is good. The bad bit is that the hoses have seen better days.

No issue, easy to change.... Wrong. The hard lines are practically welded to the hose with the captive nut beginning to defom its so tight.

Cut the clip off to get better purchase but no luck. Have saturated in wd40 for now.

Apart from trying some heat has anyone got any suggestions?

You could get a bit of copper pipe a cutter and flaring tool and use a connector, so cut off a bit of hard pipe on the flexi, make a new piece and use a connector.

Engine & Gearbox / Re: Oil Buzzer after changing sump 😰
Quote from: Ashton0678 on
Thanks both really appreciate the reply and the help.
@Monkey the engine has been solid for the last 5 years but hardly gets used nowadays tbh.
I'll go through the steps and update.
In the meantime I've created a link to the pictures I took of the stuff in the Sump and from underneath which may give a bit more context.

Those red bits look like the dipstick tube red bit has broken before and gone into the sump, probably been replaced.

Bodywork & Paintwork / Re: Door Opening Issues
Yes you can fit rears to front, I've done it, from memory you swap over the front lever to the rear handle as they have different offset, there is a pin and a couple of screws, 10 min job really.
