Help with standard

[Bazz]

Hi guys, I'm just trying to see if my car is completely standard so I've included a few pictures if anyone could just confirm that they all look normal. Also a little video of my rattle.

Thanks.

exhaust is a mickey mouse pattern part kwikfit jobbie, everything else is boggo standard

and the rattle is your dephaser pulley, its knackered = £650 to fix

Thanks Fred, but what do you mean mickey mouse lol?

 

[Fred@BTM]

its not a genuine exhaust, its a replacement part from the likes of kwikfit

oh and your wheels aren't standard

 

[Bazz]

ahh ok i figured it was something like that. HaHa wheels were like that when i got it .

Also as i dont have the cash straight away for Dephaser, timing belt etc, how long is safe to drive it for in your opinion?

 

[Fred@BTM]

sounds pretty loud that one, if you must drive it then keep the revs as low as you can, should be ok for a bit, but no driving like a Schumacher!

I take it the louder it gets the closer to failure it becomes? Yeah think i will start driving easy on it from now on

 

[Fred@BTM]

they can't fail completely, but it'll run s**t!

Yeah it does seem to run poo! It has no grip in the wet and also in the dry around corners it wants to slide out even when not going to fast, i'm thinking its the tires though after watching the old top gear video lol
