Glad it's better now mate, sits as it should. I had a look and didn't have any, but forgot to reply on here, however you've sourced and sorted it now :) Knocking could be an array of things. When does it do it?

No worries. Yeah, get one of those rubbers in and you'll be fine again :) I'll have a double look tomorrow in the shed but I'm pretty sure all my spares are gone. IF I have one/some then I'll send them out to you for free.

Well there is no rubber mount to stop it slipping and I'd imagine the car was up in the air when it was adjusted, so yes. Once on the ground, you'll have the weight compressing it down.

Did you not point out the knocking noise when on the test drive then?

Where are you based? I'd imagine they didn't test drive it at all, because they would of noticed that straight away. Saying that, you paid them to adjust it? Surely they need to adjust the rear adjusters and would have seen that. Pretty poor for a garage I say. Could you not have adjusted them...

Put up a thread on here, someone will have one for pennies/free. Oddly enough I've just thrown 3 away a few days ago otherwise you could of had them 😧

It is simple. Jack up car on rear beam till you can get 2 axle stands under the jacking points on the sills, but keep the jack under the beam, undo lower shock bolts (18mm) and once they are free, lower the jack slowly and the beam will come down, releasing the springs. Put new rubber hat in and...

Have a search buddy. There's loads of old for sale threads to browse through to give you an idea.

James has hit the nail on the head.

Makes you wonder why he bought a e36 instead. I've always liked bmw's but never been a big fan as such. As always, they look better in the flesh rather than pics/vids but a good video to watch. Got to say, I still really love the look of the old skool e30, even though the others are better cars.

Chances may be slim, but is that @mikeh E92? Vaguely remember him getting this shape in this colour and the plate looks similar to he's username? Either way, great comparison vid.

I'll still be there Dan :)

End for this one, but one day I'll be back. They always come back! Tbh Scott, I didn't. As you know though, this one has tested me. I just didn't want to ploy anymore money into it and I know I'd have too as I wasn't happy with it. Unfortunately temptation would always get the better of me...

Headlights look much better now! Refurbishment makes all the difference :) Spacers are the perfect size too :wink: Light aren't they?

Well that's it, Clio gone! Made a fair bit more than what I thought by breaking. Quite surprised actually with the total amount. So the end of the project is finalized now.

BC's. Damping and height adjustable and you can lower the shocks into a sleeve, leaving the bound set via springs. Also all the adjusters are at the top so no wet knees ;)

Problem is that no matter how hard you try, if you have tinkered with cars in the past, chances are you'll do it to this one. It's just how it is! Lol Just keep the costs down ;)

Alex's swap didn't turn out cheap. Being at uni, I'd be saving the dough rather than plowing it into the dci. IMO of course.

At least it's getting sorted. Just annoying. I was surprised when I first held the bonnet. Where my car was being broke, there is another ph1 track car with a carbon bonnet and the ally one is lighter than that!

Me too. It was/still is a good car.

Excellent! Car looks great :cool: Shame about the flockers, although the ally bonnet makes up for it! So light!

Gutted for you mate. Absolute scummy w*****s :(

Have a look in here as I had similar issues and mine turned out to be the throttle body gasket. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/ph1-172-revs-high-or-fluctuating-when-the-clutch-is-engaged-neutral.778401/#post-10815841

For 30k I'd rather be looking at that Pacific Blue Escort Cosworth.

f**k yes!!

Just use the isofix bolt holes. Remove the bar if you want.

If your referring to me, then the answer is no. I had recaro trendlines and went through the loop holes in the seats for the 1st and 2nd point harnesses.

I used to have harnesses fitted to my old 182 with the rear seats fitted. I used the isofix bolt and fed the 3rd point harness underneath the bar and fixed both down with the bolt.

I did yes. Smoothed the bullets (although you can get smooth bullets off a lower model, which I didn't know at the time) the plastic primer, black gold paint then lacquer. Let dry the place stickers on, then few more coats of lacquer :)
