Could the reason the bolts were too small be that NWP are supplying the 10mm not the 12mm? The OEM stuff for my ph1 was 12mm.

I get 2.2mb from Voda, can't get anywhere near 7 though!

G'day, not sure if the ph2 is the same as the ph1, but go to any motor factors, ask for balljoint, they'll have two on the system, its the 12mm one. Alternatively get them from NWP's website if you want to order online :)

From a breakers around £50, as long as you get a low miler, should be reet.

Welcome indeed. You've got a diesel, but we'll forgive you. (in time ;))

Re: My new saxo vtr This looks good, bar the lifters and cage, but I loved the Clio, can't believe you got rid quickly :(

IMO swap the bargain bus for a mk1 and get cracking, suits the square shape better, plus mk1's rule!

No one apart from apple is selliing sim free.

What I miss? What are you doing with the car??

Pretty sure they do fit mate, I can't say 100% but I'm pretty sure there is only two sizes for the handles, with electric windows, and without. So yeah they should fit. If I was you, I'd buy it, and just sell it if it it doeesnt :)

Ok so I ordered just a ball joint, For a Ph1 172 the size is 12mm (this size is the bolt holes) Changing it was no real problem, however it did throw the tracking out, so warren (Brown Bear) was right. Driving with a off centre wheel FTL

I've looked in my garage and found some btis of top mounts, but not a whole set, so I think I'll need a new kit. I phoned my local motor factors and found that a "kit" is about £37, I'm not sure what it includes yet so I guess I'll find out soon. The thing is, I have no idea if I'm going to be...

Bloody awesome mate, gotta love the dedication it took to get in too!

God looks like I'll need a load of bloody new parts then, f**king depressing tbh... b*****d car JCC, thanks a lot for the full and informative post, much appreciated :)

Re: Piccy req please Get the title changed to photoshop request and you'll get further :) I'll have a go now but on a laptop touch pad I'm not much good

Awesome work, my god it was bad before! Also, you're back? Woo!

As above TBH :rasp: Also, cottage, details please? (PM if you want) Can't believe there is somewhere that nice that close. :) Car looks great, very respectable MPG too.

Nice find indeed, rare to get a perfectly standard one. Steering wheel re-trim, coilovers, front bumper respray, lovely. The Mk1 is awesome though.

I currently have Compbrake top mounts and they're guff, these are all I've ever had on the car so I don't know what I'll need to replace them... Part numbers etc would be brilliant... I'm guessing I just need: Top Mounts (is there more than one part to this? (I know I'm retarded)) :o Top...

Mike its exactly what I told you to measure, just do top of one bolt to the top of the other, if you're unsure I am 100% certain now after doing a bit of searching, so if you want a second opinion lemme' know.

Cheers Danny, I'll get it done ASAP then, car will be so nice after that and some poly bushes, thank god!

Welcome mate, where in South London?

I said I loved it the first time, but I still stand by what I said, put the fourth hubcap on, and then give it a damn nice polish etc. People will still think its slow as hell if its mint, its just nice to care for cars ;)

So. Fecking. Pretty. Awesome mate, just awesome.

EX-CUSE-ME.... Your words, cut deep.

It's bootiful Jason. Schhiiinnnngggg. (can you tell I've been drinking ;))

lol! Daniel, it'd be good if you come camped with us! Me, MikeB, Tunst, 'Dan from your way and the scottish lot, it'd be the nuts!

lol! Fair play, I've done suspension before so I can be more of a help though :D Although I haven't got a clue how to get these fecking compbrake things off, and no one seems to want to help! lol! Does the spring/shock have to come right out to change the top mount?

Indeed I am Mike, you can pretty much feel its the top mounts now, you can get it to "clunk" if you turn left full lock too. Going to try some standard ones with the washer fix :) How long will it take us to shove some on? ;)
