Where's the fun in that. Embrace the challenge.

Besides, I think the clips on the front of the splash-guard are broken and I'm not sure how it's attached and if it will ever go back on once I take it off.

Got girly wrists, but hench forearms.

If I at least know it's possible I'll give it a go.

Good shout on the string.

My AC belt is looking a little worn and was wondering if it's possible to replace it without having to jack the car and remove the under-engine splashguard?

From what I understand I'll need to remove the larger aux belt first to get at the AC belt, but can't work out if I can get in from above and all the guides say to go from below.

I know it might be more of a ballache and take longer, but I'd prefer to do it that way if possible.

I've heard of people managing it on a HR, but that's a little different as I have an 07 Rev-Up DE.

Anyone got any experience or can provide some insight?

Cheers

At best it could be the release bearing. worst case scenario it could be the springs on the duel mass. either way its the box off.

Cheers.

Still under warranty and within 30 days of purchase, so I'm not too worried. Taking it in for the garage to have a look at on Thurs, just hoping to get an idea of what it could be.

Hey

Car has developed a noise when the clutch is up (foot off the pedal). See video:

Happens in any gear (inc neutral), but the noise disappears if I press the clutch or throttle.

It's intermittent, mainly happening when I first start the car and going away after a bit of use.

Earlier it actually made a worse noise when I pressed the clutch.

Some brief Googling would suggest the clutch release bearing has gone, but was looking for a 2nd opinion or if anyone has any other ideas about what the cause could be.

Shame, cos those sequentials look amazing.

Can't upload photos from my phone (dunno how to)

Upload to imgur, then link here.

Just went for a play and it had significantly improved and wasn't popping (like just after I fixed it), but then it started to degrade again.

Could it be that something is overheating?

So, the old post below still applies (and I'm still looking for a solution for that), but things are getting worse.

Along with the popping, the sub seems to cut out sometimes for an indefinite time (which does seem to be a known issue). I only notice this happen while the car is running, however if I turn the key back 1 notch (so the car is off, but the stereo stays on), the sub comes back. If I then start the car, I lose the sub again.

Any ideas why this would happen?

I did notice the Voltmeter is reading 14-15V. Dunno if this has any significance though?

Same checks as for any other car, however, having just bought mine, the 2 problems I've got are:

1) The Bose sub cutting out / popping

2) 2nd and 6th gear are "crunchy" and grind a bit

Bose sub is an easy £3 fix which I'm currently waiting on a replacement part for so I can get it sorted.

2nd / 6th grinding I'm not too sure on, I read some stuff saying it's common, but I dunno how much of an issue it is.

Welcome.......first mod..........stubby lol

Sounds like a plan.

(Until i have to tell my insurer and they dick me)

Added pics to OP.

That Rolls though...

Welcome, hopefully see you about Wakey.

Hey
