Been nosey, what did you get it for in the end?

Could i possibly come over today and buy a couple off you please?

Fred have you got any at your unit?

noticed my cv boot clip had gone and had grease inside my wheel so took it to my mate after work and he repacked it with grease and put a cable tie on it as a tempory fix. I've been reading on here and people say use a jubilee clip, so off i went to halford's after work and they don't do them...

for what mate?

I don't think i can move the engine any futher forward Henry, I've took some pictures on my lunch to show why. I did however notive the top mount had a bit of movement in in and little bit's of what looked like rubber at the bottom, so think i may need to look at that next :( Here's the pic's...

Well was short lived, the knockings back..... Only in 1st gear now though, any other gears it's perfectly fine. Had the car on the up in the air yesterday and was underneath it having a gander at the dogbone mount, somethings not right i think. The big bushes arn't sitting flush in the...

Oh i did tighten up just fine and dandy! iIt was the bottom bolt that was loose. Anyway it's sorted now, another lesson learnt.

It's what happens when a novice touches a car :rasp: i'm still learning, but slowly getting there :o

That's more like it. Just go to a little local place on a saturday morning and ask the fitter to bung them on for a drink - if the gaffers not around they'll normally do it.

Henry, I owe you a big thank you, did as you said and all is well. At first i was getting a slight knock if i planted it in 1st, but that soon went, possibly the new mount bedding in (if they do that, i don't know) Went on the route where i know i could create the knocking and it was perfect...

Mate if you wern't in bristol i'd happily buy you a pint. I'll be trying this tommorow, so that spindle shouldnt have any movement in it before the mount is fitted and torqued up?

:S No! The bolt was wobbling round like nobodys business! it wasn't tightening up in to the gearbox, it just kept spinning.

I can't move the engine forward anymore, it a far as it will go looking at the mount. The top engine mount looks sound TBH as have all the other mounts i have removed. I'm starting to get disheartened with it now, i feel like i've wasted 4k at the moment. would anybody be prepared to have a...

Back to the drawing board. Replaced the upper gearbox mount and the bloody knocking is still there. I'm beggining to think it's something to do with the dogbone mount. I say this because when we fitted it, we figured the bar the bushes sit in can only go in one way, what i mean is, it will...

mate you a legend.. Just called them with the part numbers and they have them in stock. Did look at pulling the engine forward, but the mount is as far foward as it can be by the looks of things. It's pissing me off to be honest and i've only had it a month..... I'll get there i suppose ;)

Just phoned them, they didn't even know what i was talking about! Tried GSF too, they don't stock or supply them.... Looks like i'll be going to ktec, wanted to sort it tonight aswell :(

Will do mate.

Cheers for the quick reply mate, much appreciated. Should of gone with "if it's not broken dont fix it" but the old mounts no good now! any ideas wheres the best place to get the said mount? Or is it a case of going the stealers?

Hello all, need your help please. Today i fitted the powerflex dogbone bush to my 172 cup. I changed it as i was getting the occasional knock from the manifold under heavy acceleration in 1st and 2nd. Well it's made my problem worse, it's doing it everytime now, also the car feels like a...

Spotted a 172 cup today at about 5.45pm leaving hams hall, any body from here? woman driving it, 53 reg i think

I'll occasionally go and have a look to see whats about if i'm passing, but it don't do anything for me now. Too many 17 year olds in 1.0 corsas driving like complete tits. Fee, noticed you up by dunton island one evening, i was coming back from football with my mate, noticed the car and then...

Powered by fairydust or angledust by any chance?

Just done a bit of ringing round, i may be able to get these at about £88-90 a tyre if an order of around 50 is placed. Fred, if thats any use to you then let me know.

Wholesale price ;) Thats what a big dealer would be getting them at!

Hello, i'm going to look at doing some track days in the car. I'll probably end up getting some toyo R888's. My clio currently sits on the 16" turinis but for track days i want to put some 15" alloys on with some 195/50/15 tyres only reason is tyres in that size are alot cheaper that 195/50/16...

No longer a production tyre though in certain size, Just checked to see what sizes it still in production for and theres quite a few, theres still quite a demand for 195/45-16 which fit's my cup ;) were due to make a fair few in the next few days. I had the new F1 Asymmetric's on my golf and...

Hello everyone, Can anyone recommend a suspension set up for the 172 cup please? I'm not looking to spend huge sums! I've been looking at the jms tuning site and they do the vmaxx coilover set up for under £400. Can anyone advise if this is a decent set up, it's not for track use. I just want...

all sorted, spoken to fred and booked it in for the belts on the 26th :) Thanks for you help chaps.
