Yep, she went for slicks instead of semi :shock::shock::ninja::ninja::whistling::whistling::)

Even better I went for snow tyres in the winter, :razz: soon as i changed them it fooking snowed :(

Yeah she passed the nct(mot) so I'm happy for Now.

Let the saving begin for a remap and maybe a set of 272 cams :)

Good stuff :)
Nice

Hasn't your car got uprated pistons? I'm sure I came across the ad. for your car?

It's supposed to have, but no receipts for nothing so I'd take it with a pinch of salt

Like the time i went to look at a motorbike, the guy told me he had receipts for a full engine rebuild and gearbox rebuild among alot of other things,so I said id chance the 2hour drive.

Got there all he had was a list of stuff that he had written himself on a piece of paper :( bike couldn't be started eventually when it did, we couldn't ride cos the clutch was ucked!

Hmm, I know what you mean mate. If it hasn't got something, why put it has?

I take it the uprated clutch is for the launching! :)

My e4 is doing the same so found some 12.9 grade diff bolts for just over £10 so gunner give it a go myself ,if I can do the clutch I'm pretty sure this should be easy to do ,

Been to the garage, turned out the arch liners were loose so cable tied them up, brought it down off the ramp and everything was fine. But... After about 10 mins the problem was back. Must have been once the suspension bedded back in again. Are there any known suspension problems as the garage said everything looked fine? It does have aftermarket suspension but dont know the brand or drop etc...

Where did you take it Hun ?

Can you get a recording of the sound ?? Cos arch liners wouldn't make a knocking sound more a scrapping or catching sound cos they are plastic hun, have you checked to see if the top mount bolts are on tight ?

There's a possibility it could be the suspension hun, does the guy you brought it from know what suspension you have in there ? Xxx :)

Just t a local garage that i always use hun

I might be able t get a recording of the sound. If i can, should i upload it? A know hun, was just strange how whenever they got tied up, the noise practically dissappeared, lol. Dont think they got checked but i will check them just t make sure they are tight

Unfortunately, he doesnt know what make the suspension is hun xxx
