notecied that on saturday myself. Air intake to the bottom left is not much kop when you hit a pool of water at 60! Colour coded 3 slat grills were a hall mark of the storm. not sure of all late 95 vr's was the same?

how can i tell her without insulting her that there is no way she will ever go on my insurance??? :D Those rotten barstewards have declined me insurance as soon as I mentioned your name precious. this has never happened to me before. mind you, my renewal is some 50% cheaper than last year so I have decided to stick with them, just for another year you know precious, or at least until you name is changed by depole.

:!: Man alive :!: Very nearly came a cropper today. Was installing new break pads to the front today when the car collapsed. :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: CAM (Christ all Mighty) could have been under it. The Jack was elevating the car in a normal fashion, Correctly install on my flat block paved driveway when the foot slipped sending the C crashing to the ground. Brown pants moment I can tell you. Luckily it slipped under the car at an angle (now knackered) and the 13mm spanner that i was just about to use on the lower calliper bolt prevented it from landing flat on the drive. So what do you recon, Caution to be used at ALL times? :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock:

Long Live C, Should be right up there in the top 3. but hey, with the Defenderrrrrrrr (snoorrrrr) in P2 :shock: , think this pole is pants! -
Interesting, So what are we saying here.....exactly?. Just about to ask the very question as to where I can get my hands on a new corrado script badge ..late model. So, are there crome badges available or not? and if not how difficult would it be to crome a tired old one?
-
Cheers Blue, Will have a look at that. Tks for the tip. All I need to do now is source the parts and find the time.
-
Thanks you two. I drove it very easy today for about 40 + 40 miles (32mpg) and it only started knocking towards the end. I was driving fairly hard yesterday ( through MK Grid -rude not to :lol: ) so I guess the hotter it got the bigger the prob sounded. The previous owner told me that the the boots were just changed and look new enough. Does anybody know of a web site where I can buy the new CV joints online? Unfortunatly so busy have not time to go shopping to stealers in the day time. Tks again.
-
Help us out here guys Not been overly techi, but my car has developed a very terminal sounding knocking from the near side front drive. I guess you call it the CV joint and suspect that is the problim. It only happens when I apply power or turn cornors so its not the wheel bearing. Whats the score. Will I be ok to drive it for a short distance? where can I get it replaced. Is it something I can do myself? Where will I get the Part and how much? The setalers, How much are they likely to cost? The alloy looks as though It has recieved a knock in the past. (not perfectly circular) and has probly contributed to the problim. Thanking you all in advance. Kieran.
