  3. good list there david. my mpg's are crap the now. so got myself an isv coming and new oil filter and so on all getting done this weekend. also getting tuned 2. just as your list states it basically means give your car a good service on a regular basis. i never really thought the raddo was that heavy, well compared to modern cars weight.
  4. eh strange one. never heard of that before. might be a earthing problem or as the chappy said above.
  5. hahahaha no way, they dont even seem supprised. chuck the brach oot the window and just walk away. not even a moment to stare at that branch and reflect on what just happened :lol: :lol:
  6. thanks for the info. i took the wheel off and i cant see nothing. its kinda stopped now but it did make the noise once today when i went full lock round a corner slowly. so will have another look. 8)
  7. ah nice one. you have any details on the seller??? name or something? :notworthy:
  8. right guys in need of help. i was on my way home there just now and i went over some part of another car lieing on the road. it smashed off the bottom of mine and now when i turn corners it mates a clattering noise. just like a bearing has gone. well i just jacked the front up and turned the wheel to the right and it make the same noise like i desribed. i can also hear steering fluid skooshing about when i turn it fast and hard by hand. but sounds like it has bubbles in it. if that makes sense to uz. what could i have damaged??? :(
  9. simple job. i enjoyed doing the handbrake cables last time. i paid £11.70 each from autoparts.

  12. cheers toad. i found the hidden bolt. was above the adjusting bolt for the belt tensioning. got it sorted. new water pump on and a replaced the 42mm manifold for a 50mm sounds and runs great now. cheers lads for the info
