  1. Thought I'd commented in here again, apparently not!

     

    Picked one of these up a few weeks ago with some body prep shampoo conditioner and Auto glym Aqua Wax.

     

    Pretty much followed your lead Dean and washed car first, then clayed panel by panel, followed by a final rinse and application of Aqua Wax. I was so happy with the results until the rain came two days later and put my three hours of work back to square 1 :(

  2. Welcome :) I'm having a similar problem but it's coming from the suspension top mount...from the sound of it. Definitely not trim. So far I've replaced the gas strut and still the creaking/clicking continues. Hope you have better luck!

  3. Hmm thats a little disappointing :( my noise is definitely coming from the rear strut though. Jumping up and down in a stripped boot with a firm ear to the rear brace confirms that.

     

    Is your noise anything like this?

  4. I know it isn't well favoured on here but..I dug out some T-Cut Scratch Remover today and had a go at some car park scuffs today. The results were great.

     

    And for a drying towel I can wholeheartedly recommend the Megs Water Magnet. £12 on Amazon and worth every penny :D

  5. I'm having the same problem with mine at the moment, coming from NSR suspension strut by the sound of it.

     

    Stripped it out and replaced the shrivelled gasket with a new rubber one that I made, regreased and reinstalled. And the problem is still there.

     

    Next may be to replace the top mount bushings with the KYB SM5482 kit but I'm not sure if this is the necessary fix :shrug:

  6. I've tried T Cut on mine and it didn't make a difference :( think this month I'm going to try one of the Mothers Headlight Restoration Kits. Pricey, but should guarantee a good finish?

    oh, maybe its on the inside on yours??

     

    I truly hope not! I can imagine that being more hassle than its worth.
