Little 16v Niggles!!

[Smokey]

Right i have got a few minor probs with my 16v that i would appreciate some helpful advice!!

DogBone? What does it look like? where does it go? anyone got any pics? How hard to change myself?

Rear shocks squeak when i rock the car, what could this be?

Annoying Rattles everywhere inside the car, how to eliminate them?

The sh*t that you mix with the petrol/put down the air intake to clear carbon deposites etc, are they any good/worth doing as valver is on 125K

Rust bubbles appearing on rear off side arch below fuel filler cap, whats the best way to deal with this?

Can i get a one push eletric window switch for both the passenger side switches?

Apparently i have the wrong expansion tank cap, and was wondering what probs this will cause?

There is more but i cant think right now, will have to go for a drive to refresh my memory, and will update list later on!!

Ive used 10K boost on mine and was really impressed with it. My valver was on about 51K when I did this, I wouldnt recommend it though with your mileage!

Any good bodyshop will be able to sort the rust out fairly cheaply. Better to get it done sooner rather than later!

As for the E/W switch, you cant change it for a 1 click one, it wont work.

Rattles, i spose just turn the music up lol

Why wont the switches work mate? Is it the actual motor i will need?

is there any alternatives to the 10k boost that you could recommend? cause im guessing my valves etc are well carboned up! I know it is a risk as it could dislodge any carbon blocking holes but i think it really needs doing after 125k miles, it must be soooooooooooooo clogged up? And i bet my injectors and fuel lines could do with a clean!! Whats likely to happen if i do dislodge some carbon blocking holes?

Thanks
