Nothing spectacular. Hopefully Springtime and no winter to contend with on the road

Will give them a go thanks When to buy? Wait till end March or go for it now?

Any better than 78 fitted at black circles around ? 195 50 15

I have both Tequila and Cavalry charge musical horns, which i will fit in the spring. Listen for it when I'm on the track at a few shows

Also a trapped wire, which is pinched in between metal. Once had a major problem with lights flickering and doing what they wanted, and it was a boot light wire pinched in the tailgate door.

Take your point, but they stuck it on a lift, had a guy look around for 10 minutes, even if they had charged me nothing I would have given them £10 for a drink More peed off bout the warm satisfying glow i didnt get after a succesful fault find and cure.... :-( almost.......... not quite

Cars back to being fab and beastie. Havent checked (Getting dark) that they put the bolt back in the dogbone bracket. will do that tomorrow. Wanted to charge me £20, as it happened (Honest) only had £15 in my pocket. He took that and no receipt ;-) Had a good chat, they liked the car " Very...

Cor -, theres me trying to sort my own stuff (With you guys help) . Just about there, and blew it Garage just phoned to say an engine bolt come out, and its the one i gave them Wonder how much they are gonna charge, especially as i reckon they left it loose couple month back........ will post...

Shheeeesh. your joking- just taken it to local garage lets see what they say......

This where you mean- seems like something could be missing on the black bracket

will have a look around. cheers Makes me think the guys that sorted the driveshaft may have something to do with the issue

Got car up on axles stands, having a look around In these photos, just in front of the dogbone (Yellow bushes) there is quite a shiny threaded hole.... would that be where the bolt come form? Shall i just screw it back in... any advice cant see anything else hanging down, or out of place. ED...

Will remeasure the bolt Working on the premise the bolt is not off the car, is there anything other than dogbone which would make the "torque lurch clunk" when pulling thru gears? Engine mounts, will check thegearbox fixings. Anything else to look at when under.

Set of ramps then. Said to the wife i wanted a house with a garage 4 yr ago. I made the compromise....... Looked at one bungalow, double garage, with pit.. wife no like :-(

Bolt head is 15mm hex, might not be my bolt. seems strange as it was in middle of road, back tho

yes- slightly tapered- not broken i dont think but will check

Yes- will get a pic of the bolt up later. I reckon its that- now to buy a set of ramps to get the car up on them Recommendations- always liked those heavy duty polystyrene type ones.... but pricey Be nice to have ones i can bolt into the tarmac road surface to stop them slipping

Bolt doesnt look broken. Looks like it just come undone and fallen off. thats if its my bolt Can i get to have a look at the gearbox mount easy- just to check

Accelerating the car quite hard up a hill, a clunk noise followed by a tinkling of something rolling along the road, and i pulled over as car didnt seem right. I walked the road and found a long bolt about 7cms long on the road. Not sure if i went over it, or it came off the car. The car doesnt...

Ive had reeeeelly strange things (electrically) happen on cars with bad earths Lights going mad, things happening when they shouldnt etc etc Without a good earth path, cars can seem posessed.

Thank you for the offer. Summer here soon, and if not on the track, then i will be tinkering with the car. :-) Offer appreciated tho.

Not much sure how much luck i will have, and am waiting for weather to warm up. Only off road parking for me, no garage :-(

Ive just got some resistors, and will have a go and see if they work under the seat, too. 20 for a £1 off ebay.

Check out your earth path

Think i missed your PM?

How about giving the lights a known "good earth" by running a wire

PM with a posted price if you want to sell Mind you, only a 6bhp or so increase Wonder how much a mechanic would cost to swap them. Too old, and too dirty a job for me now. Just a tinkerer.
