dazzyvr6 0 Posted October 21, 2003 cv joint is dead is to change,the hardest part would be jacking it up and taking the wheel off,should take an hour tops,so shouldnt cost to much Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bally 0 Posted October 21, 2003 Yeap, thats not too bad then considering, there alot better built than the previous car I've had... :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Didn't drive the car yesterday becuase of the dodgy noise is was making, as I assumed it was buggered. I Took it to the garage this morning & it didn't make the noise!!! :x Getting it checked anyway. Will know in a few hours what wrong. Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bally 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Hope it gets sorted mate :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted October 22, 2003 Got it back. The guy said she is still driveable, the parts won't be in till Friday so it's getting done then. It's going to be about £150 I'm happy as larry. I don't like using garages for work on the car when I have to leave it there, but I feel absoultly fine about leaving at this place. Seemed like really good place & I have only ever herd good things about it. :D Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60Dan 0 Posted October 24, 2003 Well chuffed :D Got my car back at lunch time. The garage sourced me the same part cheaper & it all came to just over £100. Cars working 100% perfect now! To anyone in Slough - I would defiantly recommend using Ray Williams Of Burnham. If you would like contact details drop me a PM Dan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

G60Dan 0 Posted October 24, 2003 Yeah I know what your saying, but it's getting colder over here by the day & I really couldn't be bothered with the hassle. If it was the summer I'd of probably done it myself. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted October 27, 2003 CV joint wasn't the problem :cry: I have posted in the problem section now http://corrado.atx-hosting.co.uk/viewtopic.php?t=4588 She's going back in to the garage Wednesday Dan :? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Dan 0 Posted October 28, 2003 Think I have found the problem!!!! leaving my drive this morning - clonk clonk clonk :? it didn't normally do that!! Popped the bonnet only to find both my top mounts loose?!?!?! I don't know why they are loose, but hopefully this should sort the problem & thankfully won't break the bank!! I won't have time to do it as it'll be dark by the time I get home from work, I'll let the garage know & they can sort it tomorrow when it goes in. So I'm kinda :D today!
