What constantly on when ONLY the ignition is on?

was it a straight swap?

When i turn the ignition on and whilst the car is running there is a constant drowning noise that sounds like a fuel pump priming but its constant. Any ideas?

UPDATE So its been on the rollers today and have been told that mechanically its sound but the readout its showing that the cruise control is kicking in at just after 5k. Yes the cruise control that i haven't got, that was the best way to describe it. So the brake pedal switch is going to be...

bump..

its not a hex hole its an allen key hole on mine. you could smash a larger allen key on or hex but would need to be careful of splitting the threads. or just undo the 21mm mount and replace the top mount?

i never had a problem with the driveshafts popping out, paniced at one point when i saw a puddle on the floor but realised that this was the half can of WD40 i had sprayed on one bold to get it out lol

no pics until it has settled widdo. It wasnt actually that hard, however, the hardest bit was getting the strut-to-hub bolts out and then back in again. i found that a hammer came in handy lol probs also didnt help that i was doing it on a slant . Needed the spring compressors, would have been...

3 hours, one nearly broken finger and they are fitted.

at work, used to be ALOT faster

bolts x 2 7700822984 £0.54 + vat ( 14 x 150-65 size ) nuts x 2 7703034152 £0.92 + vat ) 14 x 150 size ) guessing the 14 is M14?

arrrghh!!!! lol

please Ben, im going to get some from work for free

when i say size i mean what size bolt e.g M10 x 150 etc.... the rears damper ones are 18mm and the front are 13/16 which i work out to be 21mm as thats the socket that fits them lol

not had any look on the search apart from a post saying that the front strut to hub bolts need to be 140nm and the top strut mounts 'nipped'

Following on from this thread - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=490389 Im replacing the clio springs tomorrow and thought that i might aswell replace the strut to hub bolts and nuts and the bolts that hold the rear dampers to the car. Does anyone know the sizes of them...

does anyone know the torque settings of the bolts?

Springs arrived this morning but its still hammering it down with rain :(

lol, i will let you know the outcome of the dyno on Monday

that would look good, id also do the wing mirror caps as well

im sure i won't have any problems finding the hole if it falls out, i don't normally have problems when that happens ;)

i the guide it says that these bolts should be 18mm, they are the same size as my 13/16 which is the same size as the top strut bolts (21mm) cheers lol

just me im afraid, will be doing it in the morning (as long as the spring come early enough) so most will be at work. another disadvantage of working one night shift a week :( ive gone through the two bolts on each front strut and the rear bolts on the dampers this morning and made sure i...

yeah got them today from screwfix. touch wood it will all go smooth. from looking at the guide im aiming for 2 hours to get it all done.

any other tips james?

Going to be fitting new springs tomorrow using THIS GUIDE, ive got all the bolts soaked in WD40. Is there any other tips before i jump in with both feet tomorrow? Once ive unbolted the strut do i need to be caerfull of the driveshaft falling out of the box and leaking gearbox oil everywhere?

if the bulb was flickering then i would go for the bulb personally. If your changing the bulb on one side you really need to change the other as they will be a difference in brightness. When first fitted they will be yellow until they burn clean properly. To test you could take the working bulb...

any news dave?
