    Are your farts really that bad?

    Roadkill

    Roadkill's always had sponsorship from Dickies so that's not something that bothers me, what bothers me is that wasn't a Roadkill episode, just because it says Roadkill and has the two of them in it doesn't mean it is, Roadkill is about taking total death traps usually from a junk yard, cramming...

    Educate me on 1*2 gearboxes

    JC5 130 has the circlip bolted in place, JC5 129 and lower don't, being a cup your car is more than likely a 129, the 130's are also non speedo drive so if your box is a 129 speedo drive you can't swap it for a 130.

    Can't open the boot!!!

    You'll need to climb in the back and unscrew the plastic cover on the boot, it's one screw, then you just pull it off as it's secured with poppers, inside the boot is a metal bar that moves the lock, you'll need to push/pull it to get the boot open. You'll more than likely need a new solenoid...

    My old K11 Micra!

    Why does the car scene always have to consist of serious and worthwhile mods, or styling that fits in with everyone's version of what's looks cool, surely there's room for cars that are a bit of a laugh and are modified as a f*ck about project? If i'd have seen it at a car show yes i'd have...

    help with horrendous noise

    The knocking when it's turned off sounds expensive, like new engine expensive.

    help with horrendous noise

    Usually when they sound like old diesel black cabs it's because the dephaser pulley's knackered, like this. But yours sounds alot worse than normal.

    Rear of the car too low

    No not in the slightest, all you'll do is strip the threads.

    Rear of the car too low

    Oh, that's a bit too far away from Coventry for me to come and have a look. lol

    uprated bushes etc.

    Standard engine mount. (on the left) Uprated engine mount.

    Rear of the car too low

    They shouldn't be scraping with new shocks at all, the springs set the ride height and the shocks just damp the bumps out so the back doesn't bounce around and Cooksports don't lower the car that much, where are you in the country?

    uprated bushes etc.

    Anti roll bar bolted to the subframe, pretty easy to find it's the long bar that connects to both wishbones.
  16. DaveDreads

    Rear of the car too low

    The springs don't get removed to put new shocks in, I replaced mine before I knew anything about cars, it's a simple job that's pretty much impossible to screw up, unless your springs have somehow become unseated, but they'd have probably fallen out by now. Have you actually had a look at them...

    My old K11 Micra!

    How many did you crash? I crashed 2 cars in my first 2 years of driving, first car was a Rover Metro 1.1 I stuffed into the back of a Volvo, it survived but looked like a write off from then on, second car was a Rover 414 I crashed head on into some poor b*stard because i'd just come back from...

    My old K11 Micra!

    I thought it looked like a bit of a laugh until I saw the inside, how many leathery old cougars did you have to shag to get enough leopard print for the interior?

    Car went bang...

    No problem, JC5 129 it is then if you actually need a new box.
  24. DaveDreads

    Car went bang...

    If you look down the back of the box they'll be a plug coming out of it with wires attached if it's a speedo drive.

    Car went bang...

    If you do need a new gearbox get a JC5 130 the circlip is bolted in, that's if your car runs a non speedo box.
  26. DaveDreads

    Car went bang...

    I bet the oil leak was from the gearbox selector shaft seal and the reason it's gone bang is because it's all leaked out and the box had ran dry, my old gearbox did exactly the same thing but at 70mph on a duel carriageway, bang and the sound of metal grinding and fusing together.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Fixed my haunted passenger door lock that randomly decided when it wanted to lock or unlock, turned out to be a loose connector so I jammed some card in to keep it in place and so far it's working. Although whoever decided how the door cards should be attached need shooting, poppers yeah no...

    Gearbox no reverse

    Couldn't tell you mate, i've never taken it apart.

    Gearbox no reverse

    Sounds like something in the gear stick has broke, there's a lot of plastic bits that could easily be broken by a decent whack.
