Ok cheers ill leave them in, if they say anything ill say i can take them off at home if you want, Im not sure about the steering click, its not the very quiet clicking you get which i think is the indicator cancelling mechanism, its a problem in the steering column and im not sure what it is...

Ok mate cheers i think ill keep them in and say i know if anything is mentioned, brand new tyres give the backup behind saying i had a nail and that caused the marks or similar.

Ive just put 2 brand new tyres on the front, the old ones where just about legal... so more tread would possibly mean more rubbing now, its only fulll lock, Im only lowered about 2cm on pro kit lol think it could be lack of a arch liner screw i havent had a propper wheel off look yet Might...

Anyone, minor rubbing a fail or just fussy testers? in experience?

What colour is the paint? car etc?

You lost a 64gb ipod touch and a 50" plasma in monopoly prizes for these dash strips im afraid.

Im not too sure i usually do reset miles when i put 10 or 20 ££ in and go by that But i think its about 34-45mpg ishhh and thats with an open cone filter, depending on weather, and how i drive it

Does it have a recovery partition? If not i think there might be an option to burn a recovery disk in which possibly after you've burnt the disk it can re install a fresh version of the operating system.

Lovely mate, cheers. Interested about the rubbing slightly though would that be a pass as long as the MOTer wasnt that fussy?

very well explained, didnt really understand or look into it before

Ah yeah cheers for reminding me that was my next question... is it ok to run no liners at the front and back and pass? Im not running any rears.

Took my car down to my mechanic for another problem with the steering clicking and got him to have a once over of the front end, tyres and joints etc just things you cant see whilst under a simple jacked up car, Already found out my drivers front wheel was a fail on the inside so thats being...

Is it both? put your spare tyre on? as long as the other 3 have legal tyre tread on the 3 quarters of the breath of the tyre (i believe that's how its worded) basically tread from left-middle-right then you'l be alright... if its 2 like that then its a risk on the road. edit: ignore me i forgot...

Nick-able tyre that... 3 points and a fine? i believe per tyre... As said you need new tyres ASAP (plod wise) and the wheel alignment corrected,

Fresh install again and its working, only done a fresh install because he said the wireless stopped working, i was interested/worried that the wireless antenna wasnt worried, but its fine he had pressed alt + the turn wifi off which took me a few mins to figure out, finally got it working... im...

Is that more towards the steering wheel or more towards the steering rack ? the collapsible shaft? Its definatly up around the steering wheel, need to find a rough price or part number if anyone can help me out?

Ok so today i took the cover off the top of the steering wheel and moved the plastic cover below the steering wheel about but couldnt be arsed to remove it over the radio stalk as it was tight... i got down in the wheel well looking up towards the steering column, i saw the what i could call...

TBH mate it might look fine but its whats going on inside that counts... get a second hand one and try that or pay full wack at the stealers... ive never had one apart but if there are any metal contacts that touch another clean it with a bit of wire wool or wire brush/sandpaper.

The drive is a Hitachi i know they can fail ? ive always used Samsung spin point or Western Digital in my builds and theyve been fine, Im thinking about when i had the cmos reset bios problem because i didn't switch the setting from AHCI to IDE, then switched it to IDE and windows loaded on...

Excellent mate, thats good news, it very much sounds as close to the steering wheel as possible, he said it will pass an mot and they shouldnt hear it the way they turn the wheel to test slowly... i shall take it apart and see if i can see myself, The bloke does work for me after hours, so not...

Cheers for helping me Adam wasn't getting any replies, yeah in my book its fucked but fixable i guess i think its too far gone for my hands, its just i feel like i've charged him and it should be working, but realisticly i need to drop that out and just refund him a bit... Its about 15 months...

Cheers for the replys, he said it was somewhere in the column, i can hear it close to the steering wheel, im thinking the join at the top is very worn and is now clicking, its more noticeable to me now with driving normally just turning corners, The 1.2 has no steering rack bushes its just...

So after hearing a click after changing my drivers track rod end i discovered a click/clunk around the drivers area, i thought it could be the steering rack loose, so i got under the car and couldn't get enough height to get a spanner slid through to the bolts nor a ratchet, so i took it to my...

Nah it wont be the dog bone that sort of holds the gear box from the bottom but to stop it wobbling is how i would describe it, it doesnt hold it up, under neath the battery there is the upper gear box mount, it will be that i would assume...
