LOL! Yeah I'll be driving the inferno.......or I could bring the uncomfortable, slow, no stereo'd hillclimb Saxo!!!! Had to drive it to work today, which sucked.
I have just had an email back from ktec with regards this issue and Sean has informed me that the nut was revised a while ago and is now 4mm shallower and he is going to send me some, thanks Sean, as always brilliant help/service from ktec.
So there's no nut underneath on this, after searching threads and looking at pics etc I'm thinking that it's just the wrong nuts and they're too big, so I'm after some shallower nuts but haven't got a clue what I need with regards thread pattern, and also should they be 21mm 'cos mine are 22mm...
Here we go guys n girls, my pics from last night, they're not great but I've put them all on, if anyone wants decent copies just pm me your e-mail and ill endeavour to get them to you.
Cheers all, see you again very soon no doubt.
I've had a thought, would Ktec not have made them as tight as possible, I'm just worried if I tighten them down I'm goin to crush the bearings, anyone got any pic of theirs to share too?
The pics are a bit deceiving really, the nuts aren't as high as it looks and it doesn't look like they good go tighter, I'll try with an Allen key if it stops Fing raining!
Yeah like it on both sides, and as said it has been like it for a couple years and the two previous mots passed without anything being said, I understand what you mean with the wheel nut analogy, guess the previous testers weren't as eagle eyed as this one.
Ahhh, cheers, I actually only noticed the Allen key hole in the middle after I uploaded, anyone got any ideas as to why this has suddenly failed on this, is it a case of the tester having an eagle eye and others haven't noticed or is this acceptable and the tester just being a cnut!
Hi guys, so my clio failed its MOT today because the nyloc nuts on the suspension strut top mount aren't on far enough(suspension locking device ineffective [ 2.5.A.4 ] ), and the nylon isn't actually gripping on the thread and never has, this has obviously been like this since the coilovers...
I just can't get enough of that noise, as chip said to me "sounds like a rally car on carbs", only trouble is the police can hear you breaking the law from further away and no what you've been doing even if you pass them within the speed limit! I do have pics of the kit in orange but I'm...
