Flywheel query
Hi guys,
I bought a lightweight flywheel quite a while back, i am now putting it onto a M52 lump. I need to know if its pre facelift or facelift as the starter motors are different i'm told.
Any experts know how to tell them apart?
many thanks!

Hi All,
I have a lightweight flywheel for my M20. What is the easiest way to fit it?
Can i undo the prop at the box and drop it, then undo the box and shift it backwards to get access to the flywheel?
Any help appreciated

Re:
DJS, thanks for the info, however i'm looking to remove the brackets etc to reduce weight. I was hoping to make use of the guides at the back of the bonnet and use pins at the front.
Theo are you saying normal pins aren't road legal? As i also use my car on the road.

Re: abs light stays on
I unplugged the relays for my ABS which meant the ABS light was always on. This is an MOT failure so i took my clocks out and chopped the wire for the bulb and soldered two new ones to the oil light.
