    Creaking low speeds and after a drive

    After having the ball joints replaced and wishbones bushes checked and everything tightened, found out it was the dogbone mount creaking so lubed and tightened and all OK. Car feels bloody lovely however so a job well done.

    Creaking low speeds and after a drive

    Had near enough all suspension components replaced and checked / tightened and the creak remains. Having replaced the engine mounts recently wondering if this may be the cause? The only one I did not replace is the lower gearbox one and having had a closer look it does look worn. What engine...

    Creaking low speeds and after a drive

    Ball joints were replaced a few years ago but with the better Lemforder ones, no creaking when the car is rocked or steered on the spot when stationary. Problem only occurs when the car lifts off at low speed or comes to a stop at low speed and most so after a drive.

    Creaking low speeds and after a drive

    OK no worries will do. I was led to believe these were the preferred choice, I'm going to get some genuine lower arms and have done with it as everything else has been done.

    Creaking low speeds and after a drive

    I have been trying to get to the bottom of a creaking noise that has arisen that only occurs after a drive and happens only at low speeds. The noise to me sounds very much like a creaking. The sound does not seem to occur when the car is turning or when it goes over any bumps in the road, more...

    182 misfire, WHAT'S CAUSING IT!

    I am amazed at this as mine is still on original injectors at 133,000 miles and never had a fault with them to date (touch wood!). Is there some form of design fault or is it more down to the fact that mine is used daily giving less time for anything to settle?

    Dog Bone Mount

    I ran the 'race' bushes for a week and it was too harsh as a daily drive for me. Have since been sent a set of the blue 'road' bushes and I now drive it like it has always had this from factory. Love the feel of the car over the standard dogbone mount.

    Sluggish 182 compared to one that's done double the miles?

    My insurance company paid for the rebuild as an object came up off the road and smashed the cam belt cover, winner!

    Sluggish 182 compared to one that's done double the miles?

    He charges approx. £50 per hour I think but that is the usual going rate for a decent garage. Let him know you have spoken to me and he might just get it in for a look first and if it needs any work he will give you a quote. Not too far over the bridge to Devon either :)
