If its In real good condition i will have it.

Im looking at lowering my car at some point. Been looking at these springs. What would coilovers offer over these springs, would only be looking for a 30mm drop. I take it the springs have no adverse affects on the shocks, ie bottoming out.

pmd and paypal'd re cargo net, overtime fairy is a bitch. didn't come up with the goods. Credit card, hmmmm????

Gonna be ordering one of these tomorrow. Hopefully the overtime fairy eill be good to me so i can get some berks aswell. Fingers crossed

cheers, it can't be heard with the bonnet shut, its just a bit of caranoia, from having the bonnet open the other day.

anyone know wether abbey have any slots for the morning of 28th, need the ARB links done so will pop in if they have space. I've emailed them just wondered if anyone on here has knowledge

yeah, i think so mate, would that explain the ticking noise in the engine bay aswell then?

hey guys,

i was having a look around the car the other day whilst sorting out squeaky pulleys. i noticed a tick tick tick noise which appeared to be coming from the rear of the engine, almost underneath the plenum whilst idling, it seems to go away when the engine is revved. my first thoughts were it sounded like a pump working or could be the injectors. any ideas, the noise could be heard from underneath swell, it appeared slightly louder but not sure if this was just caused by the enclosed nature of being under a car?

when i looked under the car i could here an infrequent hissing noise coming from towards the back of the car, could this be from the exhaust or maybe the fuel tank which may explain the injectors, if it is them?

cheers

right, had a look at this yesterday, the noise seemed to be coming from the left most pulley, i squirted a bit of wd40 onto the spindle part and this seemed to sort the matter. is this something i need to have looked at, i.e. could the spindle be slightly out of line, the pulley doesn't seem to be wobbling at all.

thats a lot more than i need. that carbon looks neat, is it real or a wrap. and are they blue lights i can see in the heater controls, how have you done that, is it in all the lights being the dash/dials. i want.

The woman ordered me a milltek system for xmas, intake is all velocity stacked up so the berks would be next, then plenum spacer and then a remap so thats my thinking behind the berks. Im just getting fed up with cds and the skipping. I like to have a choice of music at my fingertips.

before i start i am a complete ICE novice.

i am looking to treat myself to either some Berk HFCs or a new headunit.

if i go for the head unit I am after one with a rear usb so i can run an iPhone/ipod cable to the little compartment between the seats where the handsfree used to live. not interested in a front usb as i can't be dealing with plugging wires in and out all the time.

i would prefer a single din but would consider double din, only issue with double din is what to do with the fascia when i take it out if I'm out shopping etc. I'm not overly fussed about satnav, and i can take or leave handsfree. want something that fits in with the car though i.e. something that looks nice and not cheap.

i have a budget of around £400, which needs to include cables and all fittings. its a 04 GT pack with bose system BTW.

cheers

You knew what i meant

Are they easy to adjust, ill be looking to do it myself. What sort of tension should the pulleys be at?

How do you readjust them please mate?

Get a squeaky noise at idle from the ngine bay. It sounds like its coming from the pulleys but not entirely sure. Im pretty sure its being made by a belt. Its worse when the engine is cold. Is this normal or can it be sorted out. If so how please?

Cheers

im in if I'm not working or can get it off.

is that how long it takes me or takes a garage? whats involved in doing the bushes and how long does that take?

I need to get my rears done. How easy are they to do? Or what price can you do fitted.

Ta

was cleaning the car earlier and noticed the off side wing micro is loose. the bracket lifts away at the bottom. how easy is it to access the back of the mirror to resecure it. i had a quick look and it didn't jump out and punch me in the face. pictures would be good if anyone has them but can't imagine why anyone would have them. cheers guys

sorry if this is in the wrong section.

I've always seen oil catch cans installed on modified cars in magazines etc, am wondering what they actually do and if there is a benefit to fitting one?

cheers

This happened today and happened for a very short time during an 80 mile journey.

I was driving at speed and all of a sudden heard a noise, i initially thought it was the car in front and it sounded like the exhaust had fallen off. Then realised it was coming from my car, all dials and gauges showed normal. The rev counterwas behaving normally and the car still accelerating and pulling. Sounded like it could have been something caught in the arch. Then the sound went and didnt come back. Any ideas what this could have been?

Toying with the idea of relocating the front number plate. Either off setting it or leaving it in place but replacing it with either a stick on plate or fitting the standard plate direct to the bumper without the black backing.

Anyone else done this and have any pictures or views on how it looks?

Will it allow me to use my ipod/iphone to play music through the bose system?

Ordered a stubby aerial now. Should have it in couple of days.

Had it a month or so. Think that was me. You was sat behind me for quite a while? I was on my way home from clacton.
