Cheers Martin. I had a brand new one in my car I was going to replace it with that but alas the misses has since cleaned my car and I can't find it -.-' FML

Ok possible drop link failure? The rubber has perished through on the top of my passenger side drop link now when turning right its ok no knocking but when turning left there's a lot of knocking. My mechanic said that when you turn left you out more pressure on the outside (drivers) wheel so...

Not that I remember mate? Neither did my original drive shaft if I remember?

Thing is its all of these guys trades who have checked my car over so far they all have 30+ years mechanical experience I really don't want to take it to a garage who will take advantage of my lack of mechanical knowledge and sell me things I don't need

A friend of a friend mate lol I pay for the materials and he sprays them :)

I mentioned the gearbox mount lol the mechanic at work took it for a spin and said it wouldn't be that because the knocking speeds up as you do until your at say 3k revs then it disappears and only does it in the lower gears 4/5 are fine

Just had it on the ramps at work, they are saying its the diff is knackered when you spin 1 wheel at a time it makes a little ticking noise where if you spin them both at the same time it's silent. Rang my mechanic to break the news and he said it wont be that because it would be f*cked and un...

I always thought the dogbone mount (the one I replaced) would make the bigger difference. Apparently not, what effects would you see to the car if the gear box mount has gone? What I am seeing now?

Hmmm unless the immobiliser is playing up? Thinking its not got the key in and killing the engine. Maybe a dodgy decoder ring?

I would it wouldn't hurt to have new ones fitted for peace of mind mate.

I did it without a cloth or gaffa... Scratched the bejeebus out of my paint but its being resprayed like I care lol

Sounds good possibly a dodgy decoder ring just getting old and tired Lol Good luck!

Cheers jay will check tomorrow at work when I can get it on the lifts

Wish I could if I didn't have to use it to make money where is the gearbox mount? Been out all night trying to find something else but nothing is popping out at me :/

Lmfao mine doesn't even har an exhaust it's lowered 40mm with black alloys and black lights on the back and a sport body kit Pretty plain looks standard haha

I'm not much of a show guy my car spends most its life in the hands of a mechanic

Nothing ever does mate lol! You have to travel miles! ;)

Earth is behind the passenger wheel behind the arch lining mate it's like a flat braided cable from the battery to the gearbox. To test the alternator place a volt meter across battery terminals it should read 14v when the engine is running matey

Where abouts is that mate?

Clear Bra will be better mate. It's like a tough see through Vinyl

Nom that's my choice of target too mate ;) haha! We shall have to have a meet up there at some point then!

Ahhhh I know the place... I don't like going there though I use the tesco by me (Newton-Le-Willows) :p

Where in Warrington are you guys? Im in warrington too! lol

Possible... Although its not rattly as if the exhaust is bouncing off things hmmm... I think there's a cliff round here somewhere?

Nope lol probably should but that seemed the massively obvious one at the time we have shook the engine by hand and it seems solid. Took the mechanic from work out in it to hear the noise he said its knocking from his side yet it sounds like my side? So I'm putting it down to the center of the...

My god... Changed the back engine mount... It was shagged through. Still knocking though :( Ugh any more thoughts? Lol its getting to be a drag now!

Probably best :D

Alternator would be my guess not keeping the battery charged? Or possible loose earth strap (long shot) Nick

There you go mate :)

I would go for the Alpine one looks like it will fit just fine :) Pretty much put the arial with a good view of outside the car (Windscreen maybe by the air vents) and route the wires to the H/U done :)
