Hi, Just got the 172 back from the garage and have a fail point on " Macpherson strut has excessive movement at the upper attachment". I noticed this before it went for mot and put in another used topmount I had but the movement was exactly the same . i have 4 used topmounts lying around...

sound, I need to get along to see stu as well so will give you a bell after dinner or at some random time during the day if i get a chance.

The secrets out huh :-), you want that hub nut socket tomorrow buddy ?

Thanks , at least you have your head screwed on unlike some .

The answer of someone who doesnt want to admit they are wrong !!!

Just because you cant fit the shopping in it and it looks abit flash and costs a bit to run and drives like a dog its now a supercar??? Its a concept car which got built possibly...... but not a supercar, get your clio tinted glasses off. I admit the evo fq400 may have been a bad example but...

I had the same issue as you but happened on an evo which was pretty shite, its a loud clicking/knocking noise this is making but not dephaser sound(or at least not the same dephaser sound as the last engine it sounded like a diesel). Changed this over to mine this morning and noise still the...
