Updates The squeaking is cured thank fook. No change on the occasional spark blow, most of the time its clean so very intermittent. Ive logged triggers etc and nothing is jumping out, back to the drawing board, ill get it sorted just need a bit more time. On with other projects that ive had in...

Updates Done a fair few miles in the blue dci since the noise, its not failed to proceed and nothing has changed. Still unsure if it was related or not to gearbox. I have been noticing noise when turning either direction for a while, and both wheel bearings are OK so its got to be the diff. I...

I think you have done the right thing tackling the sill rust now before it had chance to really spread. Well worth doing

It actually sounded worse from the passenger side wheel spinning. I guess 220 thou of 65hp diesel power has worn it out😄

Driving along in the blue clio earlier 65ish mph on a dual carriageway and heard a loud bang from the centre console area but nothing really changed. Had it jacked up and nothing appears to have fell off infact nothing to see. However the gearbox sounds terrible when spinning the drivers side...

Yeah just pulls off.

Found 2 sport subframes on ebay in 20 seconds https://ebay.io/m/hwIgYD https://ebay.io/m/QQEkWQ

Yeah tbolt also crap for boost hoses. Jcs clips usually adequate for loads of boost if the hoses fit good. If your feeling flush the constant tension clamps are mega. My turbo connection on the kangoo kept slipping so fitted one of these, and its not budged since. MIKALOR ASFA-S Constant...

Not made any but wouldnt worry about working under a set, 3x2 timbers stacked like that will be solid. Id be more concerned getting the car up to height with a normal jack, can be sketchy

The tail bit doesnt generally give any issues cutting into the hoses with jcs if properly sized to the hose. As for the turbo hoses, the smaller band clips are usually best on smaller silicone, they just need to be nipped tight or they cut into the hose. Try 9mm band mikalor w2 something like...

Them t bolt clamps aint great being honest mate. Bands too wide and they back off causing leaks. Jcs high grip be much better.

Same double nut on mk2 wishbones as oe, one to secure wishbone, subframe brace then nut. Easy to tighten with extension and wriggle joint.

Yeah s4 will be fine, check its the right spec and send it. My theory is buy the cheapest to spec bosch as it will prob need replacing in 3-5 years regardless

Tanya https://www.tayna.co.uk/ are usually good price wise for bosch.

Uch 100%.
