  2. As above really, changed my front engine mount recently to try and cure my car shuddering from pulling away, has imporved it but not fully, is the gearbox mount as easy to change as the front? cheers
  3. My rado is (or should i say was) fitted with a reiger debadged eye brow spoiler and grill, basically was driving home from work with the bonnet not closed properly (for some reason it dosnt close properly if its pushed down from one side, it will look closed but still open from the other side) so im guessin that the space it was given between the headlight and the bonnet was enough to shake it to pieces and send the 3 slat grill flying over my roof!! so a wierd warning to anyone who has one of these grills, make sure your bonnet is shut properly or it will fly off, lucky my bonnet didnt fly open into my windscreen, my own fu**ing fault lol

Following on from this thread - viewtopic.php?f=1&t=78131 Took my rado to my local garage today to have the mount replaced, was hoping for a 30 mins job for a part that should only cost no more than £40, just got a call saying the part costs £140 and it will take them hour and a half to do!!!

    Oil Light??

    Right just had the head gasket tested at it seems to be the problem, looks like its on its way out, explains the large amounts of coolant needed along with the oil light coming on maybe due to losing oil pressure or the coolant mixing with the oil, and also the exhaust billowing with smoke at high revs in low gears. just when things seemed to be going so well :mad2:

    Oil Light??

    I think its intermittent, going from memory. Only ever had teh oil light come on once in the 3 rados ive owned. But im pretty sure its intermittent, but the light is continious when mine comes on its only for like 3 burst then goes off for a couple of days, usually when im having a spirited journey, yesterday for example was cruising along in 4th doing 40 then dropped down to 2nd for a bit of pull, fair amount of smoke came out the exhaust then the oil light came on for 3 seconds then all was calm, starting to really worry me now cos i hardly ever rag the thing

    Oil Light??

    is the oil warning light supposed to be continuous or is a always short bursts? cheers though

    Oil Light??

    Might sound stupid but if the oil warning light flashes and beeps, is it supposed to be a continuous beep rather than a short burst? cos mine came on a few days ago and hasnt since, do i have a dodgy sensor?
  22. looks like leaky coolant tank, cant argue with 250 though mate nice
  23. Do you have a link to the site, cant seem to find it lol
  24. Loving it mate, where did you get the grill from? is a two point fitted one?
