Re: Rear brake hard line - single or double flare?

I think that on the grounds of 'safety', all pipes will be double flared.

Re: Rear wheel bearing

A fine use for a used brake disc , just weld a 'long-ish' length of angle iron to it.
Place the disc over the studs so that the angle iron touching the ground counters the torque you are applying to that centre nut.
If you succeed in lifting the Probe off the ground you really have a tight nut.

Re: Car starts, then stops after a few minutes

Am I wrong in thinking that this condition is what happens if the 'moby key fob' does not match the code in the ECU ?
So you have to 'reprogram' the system as explained in the Ford workshop manual.

Re: Car starts, then stops after a few minutes

Do you have the key fob with the button you have to press , then hear a tiny 'click' from somewhere under the dash before car will start ?
No 'click' , no start.

Your MoT'd car has a complete caliper fitted ?
Therefor it must have a caliper mounting plate.

Re: 24v timing belt replacement

That is the bit that 'sticks out' and catches underneath the chassis to stop the pulley turning.
