Re: Upper gearbox mount- turning upper nut looks like its going to rip the rubber mou I took the whole damn thing out.

Re: Upper gearbox mount- turning upper nut looks like its going to rip the rubber mou Never did undo mine. Ever garages haven't been able to get it undone.

Dependant upon Le Mans, I'll see. If I do go, I'll be camping again. Standard. Also, Sash, no longer green? :eek:

Looking really good, can't say I think the tow strap suits it though. Swap your clusters with the gentlemen above, lower it, and it'll look supoyb.

Now there's a username I haven't seen about in a while, good to see you've still got the ph1, shame those wheels have gone, but they were a little worse for wear. Glad it's still treating you well, mine makes me want to cry at the moment.

I was totally serious mate..? lol I'm still a bit confused. How will it get damaged if not in use? As you won't be in the car to damage it?

Looks bloody lovely if you ask me. Something in me doesn't want to own a yellow car though.

I'd consider using normal struts and some home engineering to create a stopper of sorts.

When you cleaning this one?? I want to do mine at the same time, need someone to teach me ;)

The steering wheel cover was what I didn't understand? What's its purpose if you've just got a new wheel?

Because all the cool kids have them?

I don't get the blue thing?

I thought the jubilee looked fine, like there was a lot of room, but obviously under the pressure of cornering this isn't the case... The noise is not even slightly there on normal driving, so the chance of being able to re-create it is less than 0 unfortunately. I've only managed to make it...

I was going to ask the exact same question in a months time. Result

Ph2 bumper on a ph1 is a very easy job. Involves drill two tiny holes to put new bumper screws in, but that's it.

Yours sounds more like top mounts mate. The speed you have to go to get mine to do it, you wouldn't be doing full lock!

Sharing's caring.

You lied to me 'topher. And I thought we were friends.

You may have snapped the bolts though. Even though they look like they're still there, they could just be hanging loose. Mine were.

But is yours rather low? I think this is the only reason I'm getting a clicking or rubbing?

Better. ;) But seriously.... The ph1's are generally a little faster and have received the nickname "Ph-quick". The Ph1 has a cable throttle, as opposed to the electric FBW found on the ph2, making them more of an enthusiasts car to drive, it's good if you like a pedal with more feel. The...

I did notice those tools Danny, but can I not just use some nail pliers which are the same, barr the middle bit to press it down? So if I just crimp it with the pliers then knock it flat? (I'm aware I'm a pikey, but you took all my £££)

When this happened to me I assumed and was told drive shaft..... turns out I'd snapped the top engine mount bracket (the cambelt cover) and it was being held on by one bolt. Give that a quick check if you haven't already. Identical symptoms.

If one doesn't use one's hands, then what does one use?? Or what does one get someone else to use??? Not at your most helpful today are we? ;)

No Will, you're totally wrong. I really mean totally. Like no sugar coating. The ligher engine will have compressed the springs x amount, the heavier engine will then have compressed the springs y amount. The fact x amount ever existed made no odds what so ever. x

Ok then genius.... How does one put a jubilee clip on "correctly"? The end of the shaft has to rotate, so where it is make no difference. I've always used jubilee's before on other cars, but I'm guessing that because it's so low the pressure causes it to rub?? Oh and one more thing... If...

from 40mm to 110. I think the RS is about 90mm from memory. Cheap as chips and I'm a happy man. I'll give this a go and report back.

I'll buy myself one of these: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2-PAIRS-STAINLESS-STEEL-CV-BOOT-CLIPS-2-PACKS-GREASE-/170593053330?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item27b8236a92#ht_3118wt_905

But even a cable tie has a "sticky up" bit? I'm also about 900% sure the cable tie would be gone in half hour!!!

FLOL, awesome stuff. Complete total and utter filth. Who were you though? It's starting to bug me. As for disabling, the car, my personal choice would be to unplug the throttle pedal and tape the connector out of site. That way if anyone really does try to nick it, they just can't move it...
