Id just see how it goes then, maybe a nice service with new plugs if they haven't been done for a while. (y)

I had a similar running problem to you and after scanning for fault codes (and finding one) I replaced the injector and it sorted it. If you haven't already I would scan for fault codes and go from there.

'no rattles no knocks' Liar!

Oil change, fitted K-tec exhaust, new smaller front plate, quick wash :)

If new plugs, leads and coil pack doesn't fix it then an injector might be the cause. I had a similar issue and it was an injector. Try and get a fault code reader on it. (Ideally before buying new leads and coilpack :P )

I fitted new 172 dampers recently and they didn't come back out after pushing them in. I think it's normal.

I wish I had a better memory because I had a problem with mine not working and failing an MOT 2 years ago. I THINK they have a separate pump to the windscreen washers so it could be that. I believe it sprays the headlights separately so left then right and the valve/actuator had failed on mine...

Sounds like a way of making a very easy job much more annoying for no reason? The sup plugs seem pretty robust. The gearbox oil is difficult enough lol.

Yeah, I think I'm going to be contacting Mark Fish for alignment/suspension setup soon ish so I'll have them look at the lights/fault codes then. Today - Carbon canister and acoustic valve removed, made a bracket to move one of the horns out the way to fit cooling ducts.

I replaced my squib (broke the prev one) and fitted resistors to my airbag plugs but I still have serv and airbag light on. Jus gona have to get it programmed out...

This pretty much sums up my experience of a BMW night I went to a while ago (not with my car). Interested to see what a clio/renault night would be like. My boss said the Porsche ones are pretty civilised.

+1 for 330mm wheel - sooo much better.

Yeah I did look at the washers and think it was strange putting them that way, after the nut issue though I didn't want to ignoor the instructions :LOL:

Yeah the embarrassing thing is ive been following those instructions! I think ive got lucky though as the link has bent back into shape from removing the nut and the threads are fine. Thanks for your help! Moral of the story - get to know your nuts first.

Ive just read an old thread about this ARB and I think I might have used the wrong nuts so yeah I think you are right. s**t lol. Ok ill see if I can sort this. Thanks :ROFLMAO:

This is the same nut (for the other side). Only had it on 2 turns and the threads look slightly stripped :/

Ah jeez I hope it hasn't but you could be right! I think ill undo it and see if there is any damage.

Hi all, Currently trying to fit a new rear ARB and I have a slight probelm 😬 Doing up the nylock nuts on the links is stupidly difficult. Im having to use a breaker bar to get the nut to turn. In the process the link has been bent out of shape! See pic.. Should they be this bloody tight...

Welcome Joep! I'll be keeping an eye on this thread as id also like to move some stuff to my wheel and have no idea where to start. Car looks cool!
