I understand the gravity of the situation with the rear shock bolts, but i've read on csoc before with people having them come loose. Mine were super difficult to thread in last time and were near to the torque spec before they were all the way in. But then I removed them, ran a tap down the...
From reading Chris' thread you can see the Car is mint and has been looked after! If the only issues that you've found are that of a loose rear shock bolt, missing inlet bolts and pushed in boot grommet that's pretty good going for a 16 year old car!
Its clear the car has had a lot of...
Spotted coming out of Kendal about 12ish today. I was overtaking a bus and completely missed you so sorry I didn't wave/flash! Mrs was the one who told me you'd gone passed.
Easiest way to check is at night with your phone torch.
Your rear bumper does look to have some gold fleck in it tbf but the rest looks to be 100% pearl black.
You can tell the difference, BG is a little deeper
Some 1.2s are always a good bet, fairly cheap and very light!
I have some 2118s but they're heavy however will never bend! They have ad08rs already on them and will be FS when I pull my finger out Haha
Ahh, i fit shocks in the opposite direction, bottom in first, then aligned at the top, wont make a difference really. I doubt they're the problem, but i'd try to stick with genuine IMHO.
Those are high tyre pressures, get them down to 30 front 32 rear and adjust. That'll make it proper...
They charged you, but didn't provide a printout? That's shoddy. What system were they using?
When fitting the shocks, were you on even ground/ axle stands on the same point under the car? I'd be checking they've sent you the right ones!
Tyres might not have been helping! What pressures?
In reply to your questions,
What condition are your rear shocks in? This can give you the symptoms you've explained.
And do you have your printout from tracking? 3degrees is a lot, is it running rear spacers? You may have a bent rear stub axle.
Maybe worth replacing just before you take it...
My bonnet moves this much when it's latched.
I have replaced the catch on the bonnet with a genuine one and it's greased up along with the latch on the slam panels.
Is there a way to make this solid? Looks dodgy to me.
Just noticed today my bonnet catch isn't solid and can move down more when I press it with my hand. Latch on bonnet is brand new genuine and the one on the slam panel is all lubed up and works perfectly.
Any ideas? I have zero problems lifting the bonnet.
Yeah you can get in without removing the wheel. You just have to pull the plastic forward from the squib and then get in with a screwdriver. It's tight but doable (TWSS)
Found some good info here in refreshing it in general

I've messaged Yanoo now to see if he still makes them, and found this - http://williamsclio.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?37605-Gear-linkage-metal-bush.
I'm making my own shifter so just thought this would be a nice addition to stiffen it all up!
I've seen these just recently, and i'm wondering if anyone has fitted one of these?
I believe it's Yanoo who developed this and it seems like a pretty simple fix! Would this tighten up the shifter some more?
