Would IPA not shift it?

FFS...off to eBay to look at mk1 fiestas :(

Have a check see if any of your dampers are showing signs of leakage

Hmmm how much of a wobble are we talking?

Dampers would be my first port of call mate. These go through rears quite often

How was it? It'd defo be the saxo for me, but as has been said, it'd have to look standard. I'd happily have boosted Saxo for a laugh for a few months

"A sensor in the steering wheel detects the path selected by the driver. Other sensors in the vehicle measure the actual path. The system compares the path selected by the driver and the actual path and corrects this as necessary by applying the brakes selectively and/or acting on the engine power"

That's crazy power! Any videos at all? I can't even begin to imagine what that's like in a 106 lol

If by 'done' you mean painted, then it doesn't need claying as there will be nothing on the paintwork for the clay to remove

If it had lost compression it would spin over faster than usual. If its just "dead" then it's gotta be the battery. They don't seem to jump start very well either.

So what was it doing when trying to turn it over? Was it spinning faster than usual? The same but just not firing? Or was it not even turning over?

Have you asked to see the symptoms yourself since?

So they pinched the HT lead when refitting the inlet? Still technically their fault then :p I jest, glad its sorted mate :)

What, 1WD?

Advertise them in the for sale section?

Same difference :p It has defo improved though. No more annoying lag when closing an app and trying to open the app tray straight away. Hopefully its sorted the crashing apps also

Since posting that its actually settled down and seems ok. However, this site is still quite slow but it always has been since the new site

Anyone just had the 5.1 update? Suppose to fix performance issues and bugs. Its now even slower on my N5! I'm typing this and I'm a word ahead before it appears on the screen.

I know you say you've had the battery checked, but they can read fine, but fail when under load. Try a new battery mate

Yeah you couldn't really be any further away from anywhere lol If it was me though, I'd still take a trip to Nottingham and see Mick.

Where in Lincolnshire are you?

Yeah plenty of oil recommendation threads knocking about. Have a look through the Opie Oils trader section

Was I right in what I said? @MicKPM I've been trying to read up on the timing procedure for engines with floating pulleys as I was gonna do our focus myself

Yeah quite cheap that

They are floating pulleys on the camshafts and crank. These have to be loosened off in order to remove the belt if I remember correctly. Upon tensioning the belt, it has to be done with the the pulleys still lose. If its not spun round a few times, then the tension isn't even over the whole belt...

Yes but then the belt has to be spun round a few times with all the pulleys lose to set the tension, and then tighten all the pulleys. I think its that part most people forget to do

If your due a cambelt change then cams make sense. It would be the RS2 for me though. Buy it for a grand, enjoy 190ish bhp and a flat torque curve for a couple of years. Remove and sell on for the same money you bought it for.
