First lot of autoweld = 80 % improvement. Got in there again to fill any remaining gaps and now id say 90% improvemnt. Ill keep you informed as to how long it lasts.

Just one other point looking at that pic above. Its a nice car and all, but a bit too much like the standard cars. Seeing a Williams with its gold wheels, bonnet buldge and Williams decals, is something special. I think the williams does look good in a rear view mirror. Its got to be one of the...

You dont enter the group till you put your name down for a part (ie pay). So the first car bought is a first come first served basis. After one car is bought the group is dispanded until another car is sourced / enough interest is shown to search for another and then the same applies. Basically...

Thats why a contract would be given to say what yoiu WILL own when the car is bought. Money would be paid into an account that would hold the money, and nobody could touch it unless everyone agreed to it, including the guy who paid it. Trust would be needed, but in the end if someone doesnt pay...

I was thinking about setting up some kind of buying group. My idea was to get a number of Williams owners / enthusuasts together to buy a Williams (either written off or not) and using the parts for our own cars. Whatever is left is sold to make back some of the money that was spent. Valver...

There is no claim on the photo saying it is: A: their photo B: their car So as far as i know they have made no copyright infringement, as i assume you do not have copyright on the photo? They could argue that a non-copyrighted photo on the internet is in the public domain and therefore...

1) Clio Cup. Never driven one, but on my list of next car to own 2)MK1 172 (not mk2 sorry). I would prefer a cup, but then i like that stripped feel. Fantastic car 3)Clio Williams. I bought one, loved it, so i bought another. When ive got the cash ill buy another (i want a 3) 4)306...

Nick Hill didnt seem to bothered about it. So what do i do? Get it changed asap? Whats the cost of getting it sorted now? What parts do i need to replace?

Just had the front shocks done on the Williams, and i know they take a bit of time to bed down (apparently) but the car feels a load better. Lots more stability. Well worth it. Now ive had the shocks done front and rear, the car really feels all the bumps. Its become much more rattly, as...

I have been told i have a small leak on my near side drive shaft seal. How often should i check to see the level of the oil in the gearbox? I dont want to let it run dry, but also dont want to check it more than i need. What are the symptoms of a gearbox with low oil, and what signs are there if...

I had exactly the same in my silvia, sounds like driving over a drain. Apparently on the silvia it was common, and had no known cause.

JB weld doesnt work 100%. Its still slightly slack. However the 80 % it has worked has reduced problem by 80 % so im guessing a strong weld is the way to go.

Which is the better engine (given the same milage and age)?

How easy is it to replace the rubber mounts for the steering rack? How much will the cost and can you buy just the mounts? If you cant buy them are there any DIY solutions to this problem? Also is there a test to see if the mounts are worn?

Right, as you may know i fixed the broken joint in the steering column on the Williams at i think it has reduced the problem by about 85%. So i am happy that i have improved things. I can tell the turn in is sharper as a get the grinding noise from the front brake rubbing (another story) at...

Bondy, can you weld it in situ?

Is it worth replacing the front suspension bushes on my 125k mile williams with powerflex? I guess im looking at 100 quid for the powerflex? How much for the rubber ones? Which do i go for? Any advice please.

water temp is between 1/2 to 2/3. Oil is at 100 +/- a bit. God knows how high it will be in the summer.

at 3 this afternoon i applied the JB auto weld to my steering column, so now just got to wait 16 hours till it dries. Also applied it to some test metal, and after just 6 hours it seems like pretty tough stuff. Fingers crossed.

It doesnt say there is a time limit to declare sorn though, i checked, so hopefully if i get down PO first thing ill get away with it. Its only been 3 months since i got notification.

Just had the rear shocks on my willy replaced. The old ones are rusted through and had been on the car from factory. The new rears have helped the handling imensely. The car now feels all the bumps in the road, the steering is improved under acceleration and the cornering is alot sharper. £50...

I just used a screw driver to prize it up from the floow of the car, it just sits in a hole with a small lip. Pull it hard and it comes up. I bought some JB auto weld today 5.99 from halfords, so ill see if that works and get back to you.

My clio willimas is currently garaged over winter, and as a result tax has lapsed. I havnt declared its off road. When do the new fines come in? Any one have any info on this? Cheers

Paul i know what your saying, but thats could quite easily happen with a new column just breaking because of metal fatigue. Worse case senario if the join breaks is that the steering will go back to how it was before, which the car has been driving on for x amount of miles. Dont get me wrong i...

Im going to look at some cups tonight. Can someone give me some buying advice of what to look for. The cup is an 02 with 13,000 miles on the clock. When do cups have their servicing intervals? The car is said to be standard and is for sale at 9500 quid. Cheers

Nah i think it would break under impact at the universal joint. The bit that you weld wouldnt effect a break in a crash in my opinion.

Self levelling floor screed? What is it and where do i get it? This morning i just wrapped a sh*t load of gaffer tape round the joint and even that makes the steering feel more like a williams should. Everytime you turn the wheel now you get that characteristic of the wheels digging into the tarmac.

What symptoms do you get from unbalanced wheels? I can see the stickers on the inside of my williams wheels where a weight was once attached but has come unstuck, so im assuming my wheels are out of balance. Is it worth getting them done even if i cant feel anything wrong? I assume balancing the...

I have very worn discs that have a substantial ridge on them. Im getting them replaced on wed, but i was wondering if this would cause the grinding noise i get on very sharp left turns from the os wheel. Someone told me it could be the ridge grinding. Any idea?
