Anyone? :)

Track rods or ball joints ok? Even ARB bushes worth checking

Looking into getting one of these for the car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/STEBEL-12V-NAUTILUS-BLACK-COMPACT-TWIN-TONE-AIR-HORN-/290584529222?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43a8300946 Are they a direct replacement for the standard one (just swap it over) or what is needed to fit one...

Some people these days! :mad:

Where did you get them mate, and did you keep the normal wheel bolts? :)

First do the easy checks, look around check the wheels aren't catching something, look for signs of rubbing If not jack the front up and put some weight on the wheels & watch your mounts. First set of solid mounts I had were replaced under warranty as the bearings had seized up and made noises...

I'm in the same boat, had a pair of 20mm spacers on for about 20mins a long time ago but don't think I fitted them properly lol the noise on the way home was awful :o

What do you mean it was drilled? :S

I have a set on a Ph2 172 if it matters? :)

I had a bit of this too, smell was only occasional though as it ran down above the starter. Mine was seeping out of the back of the breather and dripping down the back of the engine. Got as much off as I could and gave it a good clean, went for a drive yesterday and checked the car today when...

Just replied to your Project thread on that lol - place outside Dungannon is where I go. The small bits on my car I've done myself (time consuming though as I'm a fussy ba*tard :o Bigger bits like bumpers I'm guessing? Any decent place will most likely want the car there to do them :)

Sorry about late reply mate - I've always used Lesley Mc Cammon on the other side of Dungannon for my bodywork (the car before you start thinking of cracking jokes) ;) Very good work, perfect match etc :)

OZ Racing, in Silver - a bit like the Ph1 172 wheel but slightly different in the centre and studs on the lip :) I was going to get them refurbed but changed my mind, just need them for a 2 days when I get my current ones repainted lol

I have 16" wheels if you fancy a set? ;)

Handy enough then - have a set of K-Tec mounts and a painted belt cover to go onto mine as part of "Operation Mint" lol ;)

How do you get that top cover off, support the engine with a jack and undo the o/s upper mount?

Awesome stuff there - love the video work and the car looks well :)

Very nice :) For The Win

^ That's another reason I haven't touched it yet lol anyone have a diagram with the sequence? :) All seems fine now as said on the phone was just a bit confuddled by the odd bolt on the breather and the same bolt being the loose one It came out easier than the rest, and tightened up easier but...

If I'd seen this post 20 mins ago I would of got you one as I just put the engine back together. Didn't touch any of the rocker bolts for now until I find out what the torque settings are. I just gave it a good clean and took the breather plate off but the gasket is fine - had 1 of the bolts...

THIS please :)

K-Tec recessed if you don't fancy the stealth look and want it to look nice and tidy IMO :)

Sometimes I still get that "new exhaust smell" from mine, and it's been fitted from November :)

No sarcasm always wins these situations ;) Drop a few flyers over HIS car and hint "I'm guessing you got a stealth exhaust and a maxogen fitted to yours, where you get your inlets matched, what do you think of the RS Tuner or the Whiteline ARB? ANY of this will work :star:

Yeah I heard that was thinking silicone too lol Is it easy to take it off Fred and will the Wynns gasket do the same job? :) And as above will sealing the rocker bolts "hide" any problems?

Can he see your car from his house? Subtley leave the engine bay on show ;) pretend you're cleaning it or something lol

Kept a closer eye on mine over the last fortnight now, checked it last night after topping up about a week ago and all seems well. Got the inlet off last night for a closer look and a good clean, had some oil around the top of 2 of the plugs near 2 of the rocker cover bolts but most of the oil...

Have my inlet off at the moment to find where I have oil seeping from, cleaned the rocker last night but its a ballache to get crap out of the "nooks n crannys" Used Muc-Off and some rags to get most of it cleaned up Will Bilberry wheel cleaner be strong enough to clean the engine before...

Yeah there are some great ones this month, I don't know which I like most :) A few don't get the theme for me though, sorry folks

Yeah I've done a few shots for mates birthdays and things like that for a few drinks in return, which is all good and builds the experience/gets the word out lol This time I was asked to put a price on these though
