Well done , that is the problem.
I think ebay will make an exception if you phone them.
The suppliers are also looking at serious problems for selling dangerous goods if they don't respond favorably.

Re: Rewinding rear calipers
Woah , stop. Ford Workshop Manual , Rear Brake Caliper page 06-04-10 , exploded view. Perfect. Item 10 is the adjusting screw with the snap-ring/circlip to hold it in place.

Re: Rewinding rear calipers
That 'Allen ' cap-head screw is held in place by an internal circlip which is an absolute b..............d to remove UNLESS you have some very special

NO circlip , no worky.

Re: Oil
5/30W is a good choice , apply the same thought to the type/make of oil filter you are using too.
AND don't forget quality of coolant used is equally important to protect engine .
At 1500 miles/yr , should last forever.

Re: Nsf noise
Agreed Bob but I bought and fitted one of those items , absolutely no problems for 60k + miles.
When you really analyse a CV joint there isn't a lot of movement between parts anywhere , very clever device.
Certainly wouldn't want to make one to sell for £35 as a living.
