It does need a new set of plugs too to be fair.
General service.
No one in my area has a gearbox mount that they will have in stock today, so going to take a trip down the scrappy.
What tool(s) will I need? Easy to get too? Battery out, then battery tray isn't it?
Cheers
Cheers Rob and Dave.
As far as I can tell, it hasn't gone through the clear coat, can't feel scratches etc, so I think its just been lightly scraped across whatever it was!
It's back passenger side. Ive only really had access to it in the dark, well, only been around it in the dark.
By chance, I was checking tyre treads, and bam. Straight in my face.
Part of.
The gearbox mount has gone, which is probably from impact as he launched it up a pavement.
And it needs a service, new plugs, new oil, oil filter, and air filter.
As some of you may, or may not be aware, my car was stolen and recovered.
I hadn't noticed this, until now.
Before:
I then used some Halfords "Colour restore" stuff on it. (Cheap, and you get what you pay for etc) and have managed to get it like this;
Not too sure what it's been dragged...
Have it going on a Diag machine shortly, then up on the ramps, so fingers crossed.
I'll keep you posted, to let you know if your prediction was correct. :)!
Definitely wait until youre 21, maybe wait until 22 and you have 2 years NCB? Depends how patient you are.
After all, the 172's aren't going to disappear within a year!
Cheers Phil, will try that too.
It was strange, felt like I had a flat front passenger side tyre. Perhaps thats where the "problem/noise" is coming from?
Bit of both to be honest.
It doesnt lose all power, just struggles, as if you were doing 15mph up a hill in 5th gear..
It was fine on the way to petrol station, then I filled it up with £15 worth, and it started. :S
Went out this morning, car is stupidly shakey.. if you want the gearstick while you drive, it shakes like no tomorrow, you can also feel the whole car shaking, I'm assuming bushes, but?
Also, the car seems to "struggle" in strange places, then boost and be comfortable, then "struggle" again...
Death on them does sound pretty fair, for being such thieving c***s, but I guess it's the whole "invasion of space" that people don't like.
If that's my car, yeah, I'd want it back. Doesn't bother me personally.
Never a truer word spoken.. getting collected in the next 2 hours.. if you never hear off me again I'm serving life! lol.
Check the Axles and the wishbones.
