Hi Easty,

I should be fine for Sunday if you can do then? IF so is £100 the lowest you will go (Cheeky I know!) also do I need to bring any tools etc?

Cheers

Chris

Any chance you can wait until the weekend? if so Im up for this swap

This is dance music, classic

Update...

 

I took a colleague to work in the car on Thursday, a 75 mile-ish journey to Tonbridge Wells. It all feels fairly tight up to 70mph, then it feels like every few moments the car is driving on a cobbled road, it's feint but you can tell something's there. We both initially thought it was only a problem when the car's running at full-chat, but even with my foot off the throttle it was still there, I'm guessing this rules out a gearbox/clutch issue (it has a new clutch anyway).

 

If you're thinking to yourself, "just get the b***dy wheels balanced", I'm waiting for a free day in the next couple of weeks I can take it up to Kaiser Motor

Is it like a slight wobble/ vibration that comes and goes at a certain speed? If so I had the same after some repair work and a new wheel at the rear which had been balanced etc. I was worried something else had been damaged but it turned out that the new wheel was out by about 20 grammes. Once it was re-balanced it was fine

All of that could be covered by a law I would introduce if I ever had the chance.

 

Section 69 of the heff act: don't be a c*nt. This would be left up to the individual police officer to judge. Initial punishmen is a slap. If you continue to be a c*nt then on the spot shooting.

I like it, however how do we vet potential police officers to ensure they aren`t C*nts? do we need a C*nt advisory panel? and aren`t we all a C*nt at times? im actually not sure if im being a c*nt right now...I will get me gun

Alright everyone, I also have the following keys available if anyone missed out

Dead Space

Burnout Paradise : The ultimate box

Crysis 2 Maximum edition

Medal of Honour

Mirrors Edge

The wipers are really easy to take off and on, I did mine a month or two ago.

Take cover off from wiper nut

remove nut

release tension from wiper, (push down on sprung joint or pull up from windscreen) and remove from spline

reverse to install

Just an update, it's the window bonding, the glass hasn't been primed properly at some point so was loose, unfortunately this has caused some rust at the top of the window frame, so my car is sat outside the house with no windscreen all the rust has been removed and treated though and ready for some primer! Window guy is back tomorrow morning to refit!

Imagine doing that for a living.... Lucky SOB!

Do they look like they have the same camber? if so surely it has to be the offsets?

There is a procedure in the service manual for checking the compression arm, but I would think you need a lift and a good pry bar. When I bought mine I took a chance as I knew it had the clunking noise.. Luckly for me it was the drop links.

I have read that the compression arm noise is more of a loud 'thunk' than the drop links but people like Alex or Keyser would be able to confirm that.

EDIT:

also to check if its the drop links, remove one end from the roll bar and tie the links up with zip ties.. then go for a short slow drive over some bumps..if the noise has gone you have your answer

Also check for a clunking noise over speed bumps etc, this could be a few things I.e drop links ( about 90 quid a pair ) or compression arms ( £250ish a side! )

Zmanalex sells a repair kit for it and it looks a really easy fix, drive shaft out and replace cv joint iirc.

Make sure it's got good tyres on, and also depending on mileage try and get one That has had the clutch replaced. These are the two expensive jobs that might catch you out ( tyres I know from experience!!)

After a 4am start, far too much walking and blistering heat, I have just surfaced after the deepest sleep I have had for a while!! Great day had and really nice to meet everyone there, it will make future meets a little less daunting... See you all at the next one!

I will take this for £140 if you can include postage? I'm at japspeed Tom, but can make the payment first thing on Monday.

Posted by mistake... Fat thumbs + phone!

My tickets were waiting for me at our sorting office this morning we should be at the services around 6:30 see you all tomorrow!

Really easy to plastidip while on the car, but the finish wont be as good

EDIT: after reading properly they are already off!! sorry :S

Wheel bearing maybe? but I wouldnt have thought going over a cattle grid would have caused, could be the disc shields as coldel mentioned. Whereabouts are you located YampieDog?

Im coming from Manchester way, but will try and be at the services by about 6:30. Anyone coming from the North fancy convoying let me know

possibly the same as Bronze rays and volks that are anodised?

Might be worth doing that just to cover it, but dont worry its not your fault..just one of those things, as long as we all get in its all good

Hi HollowPoint,

Thats excellent as mine havn`t arrived either. What time are you leaving the services? Im hoping to be there at around 6-30 - 7ish. Do I need to arrive earlier!? :O

Cheers HollowPoint,

I will ring my postoffice tomorrow to see if they have anything.. Hopefully if we dont recieve them we will have a fallback option.

Im still waiting for mine also, Any news on when these were posted HollowPoint?

Cheers!
