Has anyone noticed anything when on full lock. When im on full lock it feels like the wheels are scrabbling for grip not a nice feeling at all.

I have been feeling a bit of vagueness in my steering lately and I have recently changed the shocks springs top mounts and rod ends and it seems better but still not right. I have been reading that there are also inner rod ends does anyone know where i can get them and if so part numbers? I...

I have been running them for bout 1 year and im pretty impressed TBH. There are better pads out there but they didnt fall into my budget at the time. I managed to a few sessions at the combe last year without any fading so cant complain :cool:

I can confirm thats how mine are fitted. Spring platform, black AST collar, then Lower part of the mount all secured with supplied nut. Offered up to car then secured with upper part of the mount with the allen bolts Thats strange john mine lined up a piece of piss when i re-fitted the strut. I...

Im a bit confused/hungover :dead: but the large brass nut secures everything i thought i built my strut up on the drive before fitting to the car

I fitted mine on thurs won OE without too much of an issue wish i took pics now. I built up whole strut off of the car so on the shock you have the spring that i fully compressed. Then the OE spring platform, followed by the black AST collar. Thirdly the lower ( larger) part of the anodised...

Last time i drove a 182 the difference felt like having a couple of lardy mates in the cup to me

I may be wrong but I thought 172 and 172 cup rear shocks were the same but the front shocks were different

Im looking into getting a new alt for my cup as mine is on its way out but i have seen two a 75 amp and 110 amp. Im not sure which one to go for there are no part numbers left on my alt so im a bit stuck. Its a non air-con model so maybe 75amp at a guess?

Hopefully! I have had a prod around with my large screwdriver and there is a lot of noise being transmitted from the alternator so I may look to change that first. I take it thats a belt off job?

Cheers will check it out. I did go for a drive this morning and when i got back i noticed the alt was red hot

Im thinking alternator but might as well change the aux belt whilst im at it. I have searched and folks say that its easy to do on a cup has anyone tried it out.

My cup has developed a strange noise and its more noticable inside the cabin. It can only be described as a whine like a supercharger. You can hear it most when you rev the engine and the revs fall away. The car has had its belts changed etc bout 15k 18months ago. Could it be the alternator maybe?

Whats the part number for this?

Thats more like it pure filth

No mate I was up there yesterday thought she was one of the better ones! ;)

You mean this one??

Cheers for comments that chem guys blitz sealant is awesome stuff! Took a while to work out your wierd macbook vince :rasp:

A bit late but gave the cup and the bro-in laws e36 a quick going over during the xmas hols. [URL=""] 629535[/ATTACH]"]
