Ok. Thanks Chaps

Should the right sides (shorter side) lip go under the tray the battery is on? As i have just plonked it on top of the tray and screwed it in. And thanks :D

hey Could anyone tell me why there would be fresh oil coating this? And what are these two metal bits doing? (noob moment) Two places had a thin coat in oil. Under the sump there was some oil coating the bottom, and possibly a couple of spots on the tray under it. The Plugs for Engine and...

Hey Failed MOT on various things but it boils down to the battery being insecure. So i had Adam sell me a Clamp. Have i fitted it correctly??? Thanks!

they may have inflated the claim slightly, But im sure they are hella bright!

How loud is it? My engine makes a quiet tapping / chirping noise which can only be heard with the window down and radio off. Also can hear it at idle with the bonnet up and my head in the engine bay :)

Would take a massive hit financially. So can't sell it. Plus I enjoy fixing these things :) getting like a hobby lol

Alignment done. Left side front wheel was 4MM out according to the chap Feels much better and less vibration felt through the steering wheel now too. Although there is some odd drift issue when accelerating fast... But thats something for next months pay check to worry about :)

My aim is to have that done today after work / tomorrow at lunch time. Wheels are 100% Balanced and perfect already.

Ok chap. Are they easy to replace on my own? I'm new to this but so far i have changed my brakes, engine oil, gearbox oil, Spark plugs, Wheels, Filters.... and will be doing rear shock tomorrow night. So I'm ok with a spanner

Hey Changed the wheels to stop the dredded Wobble at 65+, But im left with a vibration through the steering wheel, Changes depending on type of road too. Also when going over those middle of lane speed bumps it feels like one wheel wants to go one way and the other stays straight and i get...

Can you get towed to DAN? He can sort it ;) ALso this thread has made me notice that my gearbox feels loose this morning. I changed its oil the other day and now im paranoid i didn't put enough in or its leaking! Off to halfords at lunch to get a L to stick in i think ;) Thanks OP!

Because he has said he replaced them in 06???

He needs to renew the belts tbh

Big job mate

How can you not have any postage confirmation? ? No email confirmation? Seriously?

Oh ok. Will take both back wheels off and take a further look. I have two rear shocks on the way so will sort any other issues I can see.

It's the rear mate. Not front. As far as the mot papers say anyway. And it is like 20 mm lower on the back left. springs look fine all round

Don't bother. get a pipercross panel for your air box and take the side pipe off for extra noise.

Don't tell him that! It's a secret!

The chap said he shouldn't have been able to move it. but was able too, also if you look at the rear wheels the drivers side sits much higher. So something is amiss. turns out it's the rear I'm supposed to change, got my wires crossed at the garage.

You sir are a star!

Hey Need some advice. Is there a guide on how to remove a Front passenger shock absorber and then replace it with a new one? Mine needs replacing as the chap who did my MOT said he could lift it with a bar very easy when other side was stiff. Thanks all

i recently bought one with a section missing in the same place. I used some Body filler and two bits if plastic (two debit cards i found in draw). Stuck the filler on, then squished the cards in place to form the shape. once done i trimmed the top to be level with the rest and then let it...

Ok. took the wheel off, can't see or feel any cracks or splits in the plastics pipe and odd looking things attached. no smell under it. pressure washed the lot though as was caked in dirt so it's nice and clean. very odd

How much do they charge to stick it on that machine and do the job right? Inc centering the steering wheel? Having new wheels and my steering wheel is not center on straights anyway.

if its the pre cat sensor you need that or your MPG will suffer.

Ok mate, Will check. I do have a new Fuel filter i want to fit soon aswell. I May wait till the fuel light pops up before i do that though. Was it an easy job? hopfully easy to do from under the car? Its prob because i like to ask alot of questions, and when i start using a forum i tend to get...

Ok chap. Will have a look just before i go home.

oh in that case ye take it out. but may turn emmisions light on
