common problem due to something to do with the headlight loom (i believe) You can buy an uprated loom, or HID's maybe?

Which bolts for FK adapters, Merc wheels
duckdown_hoodrat replied to sixpotter's topic in Drivetrain
dunno if it is much help mate, i have fk adaptors with porsche rims and all i know is my bolts are off a newish audi. The tyre place called them "new style" wheel bolts and grabbed some straight out a box. Best bet for definite is to try your local tyre place bud. Sorry for the vague answer :) -
..... just wanted to say merry xmas, especially too all that keep this forum alive. I've signed up to many forums over my driving years, through owning different cars and this is by far the friendliest, warmest forum i've experienced. It's a pleasure to talk to people on here, and i hope to continue to do so. Merry christmas all! Disclaimer: not drunk

I can't afford to run two cars, still being young in the insurers eyes and i don't buy cars to lock away. She is being used throughout the winter on the same wheels it was on at the shows this year. They will be refurbed in march/april time anyway. I managed to dig her out of the snow pit today for the 1st time in 5 days, on the main roads its ok, side roads are a bitch still. just had to dig it out on entering my mrs' road.

you say you have had a couple of mk2 golf gti's? if you had the 1.8 16v golf, then that's effectively a corrado. Roughly same era, so expect rattley dashes and like the golf they rev high on the motorway at 70+ -
dont need a bead blaster at all. the guys i use had one and got rid of it. they fitted 165s to a 7j no probs, no leaks, nothin

Guys when i turn right from stationary, i.e pulling out a junction and its near enough full lock i get a knocking noise that gets faster as i accelerate. My top mounts have had it, could this be the cause? Or will it be ball joint related etc? It just had an mot and had a replacement steering rack gaitor (saying that i havent checked my fluid) Ideas please? Ta, Dan
