I'll see what I can see in the morn. It has just come back from its mot and has had new discs and pads on the front, surely that can't of affected it?

What would I be looking for. Is it something I could see or a garage job? Matt

Not sure Fraser. Like i say the night before it drove about 5 miles fine, i do go up a slight curb when i park up, been doing that for around two years, could this have an effect (longshot i know, but worth a mention) Matt

Ah right, it flies into 5th no problem, but all the other gears, not a chance. A mate said it could be the release bearing, but as you have confirmed it wouldnt go into 5th if the clutch had gone would it? How big of a job is a new gear box? Matt

Started the 1.4 Expression up yesterday morning, it wouldnt go into gear. started rolling down the street to see if it would go in and nothing, it does however go into 5th. Now i drove the car fine the night before, no signs of failure or anything. Would this be a clutch, gearbox fault etc? and...

Plugged the car into a cheapo ebay diagnostics thingy. and its come up with a Cylinder 4 Missfire. Now i knew i had a Faulty Pencil Coil which i have now replaced (Replaced two as they were the original grey ones) Now the engine is running better than what it was, Now tried to clear the code but...

HAHA

Just been outside and noticed the drivers mount doesnt turn with the steering, is this the bearing that has gone?

Cheers dude, il get on to him. Moneys tight and passenger seems solid so one side atm unfortunately. Thanks again

Is it just replacing the top rubber or the whole Kit?, so would the whole strut (spring and all) would have to come out? Also its a 1,4 No Sport...

I have noticed that my Drivers Side top mount is loose. Tightened it by hand as didnt have the correct Spanner, it tightened but didnt look like it screwed down on the bolt as no more thread shown, I have noticed again it is loose, will borrow a spanner to do it correctly, but could this be...
