what worn front suspension rubbers look like after 135,000m
Silverfox replied to davidwort's topic in Drivetrain
After reading alot of other posts about bush replacement it looks like i'll have to invest in a vice of some description and take a course of steroids. No doubt it'll be worth it in the end, just need to overcome the 'fear' of fecking it up, and having to get it towed to a garage :) where they'll point and laugh -

Is this true? or are you yanking our chains? :) I know my wishbone bushes need doing, part of the advice from the last MOT, I might aswell replace the whole lot I think, is it going to be a nightmare doing it myself? How much would a garage charge d'ya think? questions questions always more questions :) -
After 13 years of driving I finally succombed to getting some 'big' wheels, I needed 4 new tyres on the speedlines and thought what the hell! One trip to Elite later and i have some 17" Kosei WK 105 rims wrapped in toyo t1s rubber. They're a kind of dirty chrome colour which changes slightly depending on the viewing angle. I thought they complemented the car colour. My other planned mods have been taking their time coming into fruition, I've had a weitec suspension kit sat in my hallway for over 6 months!!! So I need a kick up the behind to put it on, although I quite like the 'Baja' look :wink: Just purchased 288mm front discs and calipers from Marc C, cheers mate :) who knows how long they might sit there tho....

Looks lovely, nice job on the polishing :)

This has happened to me before, I used a slightly smaller socket and tapped it over the lock nut (Carefully!) :wink: and then undid it. It helps to use a long extension bar when removing too HTH Eug

That's a great christmas pressie :) I think most people would place the new tweeters in the dash, just for ease of fitment but also it's not a bad location for setting up the car's focal soundstage, bouncing the sound back from the windscreen.

It must have been colder than I thought the other day, after lifting my wiper arms to clean the blades they both snapped at the arm linkage!!! So I thought it was about time to get this mod done :) , took a trip to the dealers to get two lupo wiper arms. Got a shock when he said they had them in stock! :crazyeyes: 5 minutes later I now have some better looking wiper arms and can now look forward to seeing where I'm going. Part numbers used V6X2 998 406 (two of) @£17.36 + VAT Eug

Is it wrong to like the Citroen DS? Those swivel headlights... The single spoke steering wheel...

I picked up a vibratechnics front mount at inters and fitted it last weekend, it made a hell of a difference, gear change was better, engine response seemed crisper and brakes seem to have more bite, I'm extremely happy with it, there was nothing wrong with the original either, what a difference!

hmmm, I diven't like the sound of that!! abs sensors falling off :shock: *puts on my thinking cap* the wheels would have looked excellent... :x
