I seriously doubt it. If that were true they'd be a lot of noise. I think it's spinning the passenger wheel because that driveshaft is shorter.

Mine has been doing this for a while now. I've changed the bottom ball joints (they are the right 12mm ones) Track rod ends were changed about 18 months ago Switched my tyres over Checked my front and rear shocks - both sets are fine Tracking has been checked I'm starting to think it might...

In the end I bought two new washers from Renault. That was like 2 years ago now, they're still working fine. Part of the problem for me was the fact my washer bottle was completely full of crap. I bleached/washed/pressure washed it out and it's been fine since. Dunno how the previous owner was...

Thanks. Cheers for your help too. When I thought it was springs I looked up the cost of a new one, £100! I probably would've just bought Eibachs.

So this turned out to be a heat shield rubbing against the steering column! Weird eh? Cost me £20 for a local garage to sort.

Thanks for your help guys.

Check the bolts that hold the ball joints to the arm, if they are 2mm bigger than the holes in your arms then you have the wrong ones. The end that attaches to the hub is the same size, so it won't be that.

Awesome. Well the car is now in at a local garage, since I'm at work and didn't want to drive it the 50 miles home with potentially snapped spring! I shall add more info soon as I have it. I'd change the spring myself if I still living with my parents and had access to a decent garage.

Yeah I had this issue. Fitted a non-sport one without realising. Replaced with a proper item it improved things no-end. Make sure you get the bolts plenty tight too, had issues with them not being torqued up enough originally.

Thanks :) Was it your springs?

Have either of you had this issue yourselves?

Hi all, I've searched and read all the threads I can find on this topic, but most of them end with no solution being offered and the original poster doesn't come back! This is the issue I have: Any ideas? It passed it's MOT about three weeks ago without any issues what-so-ever and had two...

My issue is kinda similar. But the gauge gets up to temperature. Really intermittent. Reckon I might swap lambda 1 & 2 to test it.

Mine only happens when warm.

Just been out to the car on my lunch and it started first time and settled straight into a 800rpm idle. Even more odd. Do you reckon it could be Coolant Temperature Sensor?

I have a similar issue, I think mine might be TDC or Lambda. Maybe yours is the same issue, I've heard a lot of problems with engines not starting correctly with the TDC sensor.

Also, I'm not sure if I managed to tighten the air box enough with the hex drive I had. Could that be causing problems?

Hi all, Did a service on my 172 yesterday, replaced the oil, filter, air filter, cabin filter, ABS ring that was cracked, both ball joints, both track-rod ends, front discs and pads, a new CV boot and finally a new rear wiper. This morning on my way to work she has developed a very lumpy idle...

Also your car is a battered heap. Enjoy.

J9 CUP? If that was you then you were driving like an utter prick. If I see you texting and driving again I'm going to report you.

Just looks as though someone forgot to paint it. Mmm primer!

PC World are waff. I wouldn't even buy a Mac from there. We're a Mac only household. f**k Windows PCs, f**k them right in their ugly and buggy arses.

They are galvanised very well, much like Pugs.

Commence maximum ribbing of Goodj about his stripe.

Get some neverwet slapped on. Google it.

Might have gotten condensation in the car. Did you give it 30 minutes to warm up before plugging it in?

Yeah it is actually quite good. Shame the steering on modern Alfa's is a bit waff though.

You're basically leasing the phone any way under a contract. You're not paying the full amount up front for the phone. The only way you'll own it quickly outright is to do what I do, which is to buy it SIM-free.

Can't even spell Alfa Romeo. Tears.

*sigh* Walled gardens are there for a reason on mobile devices.
