Do you run a garage or are you just a nice person who willing to help me? If your willing to help me there is some beer in it for you.

Car went in to garage with no clunks, prolines fitted and now it clunks. I tried to undo the nut at the top of the dampers (under bonet) and it wont move, really tight! Its not meant to be like that is it? Ive read its just meant to be hand tightened. The noise is definately coming from the...

It knocks when I accelerate and then when I lift off. It's not a constant knocking its more of a clunk. Press the peddle (clunk) lift off (clunk). It doesn't do it when cornering.

If someone answers me and I don't responed, i'm not being rude, I'm just walking the dog, back in an hour or so.

The noise didn't start untill I had my springs changed. It wasn't there before they were fitted.

Its most likely the top mounts. The thing I dont get is where does the washer go that sorts it? Do I have to take the dampers off the car or just undo the top rubber bit under the bonnet? Before everyone slags me off for not using the search function, I've used it for the past 2 days and...

The inside of my car is covered in dog hair and the outside is covered in filth, I prefer it like that. I undertand that some peoples cars are their pride and joy, but for me lifes to short to care about how my car looks, its mechanically sound and that good enough for me, I bought it to drive...

The Filthy Rocket! Because I only clean it when it no longer looks silver.

If 182 alloys were an optional extra when the car was new then you dont have to declare them, however if your car gets written off and they need to replace it it wont come with 182 alloys. I had a golf with leather, multichanger and cruise control as optional extras and the insurance said...

Could be a loose battery connection, mine was doing this, couldn't open the doors, or get the car to turn over. Fiddled with it and everything came back on clock and stereo had been reset. Boot sounds familiar too, mine wouldn't lock turned out I needed a new boot mechanism cost about 30-40...

Spotted at 1:10pm M1 Northbound, Leicester Forest East You were in a white 197 with black cup stripes and cup spoiler, not sure if it was a cup or not I was doing 80 going southbound so it was a little hard to see Cup on your B pillar. Looked proper nice, never seen black stripes before. I...

If it does go through the insurance you can pay your insurance company the cost of the claim and it wont count as a claim on your no claims discount. I did this when I crashed into someone, their car cost £300 to get fixed aswell as a courtesy car for them, I gave my insurance company the...

Ditch the back seats they weigh 20 kilos with the isofix bar, i've done this and the car felt much quicker. I also have a ss catback system that weighed less than standard. It will be alot louder in the car with the exhausts noise but you get use to it, and if you need to carry passengers in...

Sorry for late reply, If prolines can be fitted on standard shocks why not cup springs?

So I can have stiffer springs without spending any money.

What about the frount springs, will they fit 172ff shocks?

Ive done a search and could not really find a straight answer. Someone must know, Anyone?

Ive had them for ages, the guy who sold me the car said they were off a 182cup, not sure if he meant a proper cup or cup packed 182. I just want to know if they will fit my 172ff ph2? Rear Springs with red & white stripes. Frount springs with yellow & blue stripes. Frount Shocks...

Even if it is genuine (which it won't be), she says she's getting a divorce, I know loads of blokes who have had all there stuff sold from under them just because of a crazy b1tch wife. Do you not think that maybe she's selling HIS car just to p1ss him off? Something to bare in mind just...

Cant get it undone anyway, one of the bolts is jammed. I think its been cross threaded when it was put in. Nightmare.

I stand corrected!

I could be wrong but my mate has isofix in his vectra and if I was to try and put his child seat in my car it wouldnt work.

I have a mk2 ph2. There is some kind of bar that separates the boot from the seats what does it do? Can I take it out without screwing anything up?

lol

Collies are to clever in my experiance, they remember the mistakes you make when training them and then continue to do it wrong just to annoy you. a GSD is only clever up to a point, then they look at you as if to say "what do I do now?" Good fun though.

My dog might be the same as yours, he can get well @rsey. I might try and get one of those mesh grills that separates the frount from the back, just not sure how he's gonna get in the back with it in the way.

I guess he'll just have to deal with it then. Must be easy securing a Shih-zhu compared to GSD. (Jealous) lol

I do have one of those harneses but he gets really tangled up in the seat belt and starts crying when he trys to re-adjust himself. Do you know of any other way of securing the harness, or is it purely designed for a seatbelt to go through it. ps (what kind of dog do you have?)

Ah right, Looks like i'll be buying him a cage then. Not sure how im going to get him in the back when the boots full of stuff though. I guess I'll figure it out some how. Thanks for your advice. (oh and your girlfriends)
