Fitted one of these as an optional extra but never seen one from the factory with it on. No difference in performance to be honest.

Yeah when you turn all the weights transfered, 99% of the time, if the noise is when turning left, the right hand bearings gone (more force put onto it) and vice versa when you turn right.

Dunno the part number dialogys is too old but they are less than a tenner, 10 minute job to fit aswell. Its not massively dangerous but its not ideal at all. I wouldn't drive it much if you can help it.

All 3 thanks. Clearly never driven a 1.6 or a DCI 100. They're near identical standard, apart from the fact ones got a choclate gearbox. However with a remap the 100s a bit of a animal.

About 20bhp on a DCI yeah not a 1.2 though

Yeah Gaz they're using Rolling Roads now

Thats from a 225 driver aswell

DCI No question

Yeah as edde says depends how far you want togo how much you want to spend. If your up for putting better intercooler, injectors, turbo you'd be more like 150bhp, and you'd push sports out the way no trouble. The main things people on here have done to DCI is either panel filter + remap, or...

Either remove the wiper arms to get the scuttle panel off, or just lift it up carefully without snapping it. If you are getting the wiper arms off, soak the nuts and the join between the rod and the arm in WD40 the night before. Once the arms are off the rest to get the panel off is simple...

You can replace it pretty easily. Get a new one and get a 13mm nylock nut to go with it. Get it jacked up and on stands, get the wheel off, Pull the arm down, put the centre part in, let the arm go, put the top bush on, slide the bolt throught it, get the jack under the anti roll bar, jack it up...

Stripped? - I spy wiper motor :o Sounds the dogs b****cks that exhaust, good vid as usual Mark

Try the rubber round the bottom of the steering column aswell.

Yeah the rack end, and track rod end you have to buy separately. I've done a set of rack ends without the tool, used a decent pair of mole grips (the real mc'coy IRWIN vice grip things not the cheap stuff) on proper tight. Loads of room though that was on a Mk2 Golf. Take the gaitor off and...

Flying kick? ;) Yeah usuaully, I've got sort of hay bale sized hands though lol.

PMSL, kicking it? Butchers. All you girls must have tweeny hands, just give it a bash with your palm, turn it then bash it again, repeat.

Obviously thinks hes driving an 18 wheeler too

I thought you where old?

I thought you where old school?

Why didn't you get cams/throttle bodies on yours then? Can't afford it?

Not everyones got a spare couple of grand kicking about though.

Theres a cure to the sunroof rattle, the easy way involves 45mm of brake pipe tube and sliced down one side.

Yeah theres the upper one (under the cover) and they'll be a smaller one with the bigger relays usually dangling about underneath

These any help made them up a while back for a mate just uploaded them

Could be a few things as mentioned Tez, get it to a garage, get your cambelt changed as you say, when the belts off they can see the water pump so can eliminate that straight away. Could be a split in a pipe or maybe a stone through the rad. How much are you topping it up by? how frequently

Justin if your not happy with it take it back. Although are you sure your tyre pressures are okay, and your testing it on a flat bit of road?

Its doubtful the loom istelf fails Wolf, Edde means the connections in the block plug - when you replace the sensor just clean them up and tighten them a bit so there is a firm connection.

Yeah they handle better the suspensions stiffer (even more so on the 1.6s/DCIs to take the fatter engines) anything above a 1.2 ie 1.4/1.5d/1.6 has 'sport' suspension aswell. It'll also have sports ratio steering aswell

Gaz you made your mum do it, admit it ;)
