I've just read all 10 pages too. Brilliant commitment. Just reading about the electrics was enough to give me a headache!!

Yeah nice one, think I'll try some oem top mounts then. Cheers all

Creaks when turning left/right, cornering at low speeds and when I'm braking. Not sure about high speeds as can't really hear anything over the exhaust Basically if the car is moving is creaking. Constantly. Loudly

Easy to check if you're not mechanically retarded!

Mines got the ast solid top mounts though

So I own the BG Trophy that's been well documented on here. And whilst it's a beatiful car that's been lavished with money the creaking from the front suspension is driving me insane! I've had the driveshaft replaced - it wasn't that. New arms fitted with standard rubber bushes (bar the d...

Right ill try some plugs then and see if that cures it. Cheers for your help lads

well it starts fine its just a bit ropey once it does. No idea when the plugs were last changed tbh ive not changed them but ive only had the car 8 months. Was going to wait until 72k to change them when it has its big service/cam change. guess ill have to do them now though! I thought it might...

Sorry failed to mention i took it to the garage and it came up saying random misfire he said..

Todays problem is.......when starting her up she sounds pretty rough and stutters under load. Gets to about 3k then nothing else, no more revs, no more power. When shes warm theres no problems, it idles well and theres no stuttering just powerrrrrrr lol Before driving this morning I let her warm...

Yeah i thought as much, just money though! cheaper than the consequences of not doing them though!

at 72k or can I hold out until the cam belts due at 82k??

Hey all, bit of a cambelt related quandry which hopefully you will be able to help me with. The car is currently on about 68k, it had a aux belt change at 36k and then a full cam change at 46k. Do I need to do the aux belt again at 72k or can I wait until I have the cam belts changed at 82k and...

Yeah, when I got the new tyres they sorted the tracking. Well I assumed they had, the steering wheel wobble I had prior to that had gone

it accelerates and brakes straight and there's no steering wheel wobble so don't think so

No mate! I'm not sure at all lol I've no idea what it is. Can't be spending more fvcking money on it though! Skinted!!

just eibach pro's

Hey, I bought some new rainsports a couple of weeks back because the tracking was out and my old tyres had gone bald on the inside of them. The problem I'm having now is that when I've got full lock on (to the left) the outside of the f/right catches on the inside of the arch. When the lock is...

Cheers for that mate, ill give that a bash tomorrow. Going to wales tomorrow so a decent run to wear the tyres in. Then I can give them a test!!

Just had some rainsports fitted. Still wearing them in obviously so can't really rate them yet. Just wondering what sort of pressures you think they should be at. Have heard a couple of people saying 34/31. There at 28 now so they need some air, just not sure how much. Cheers

The place I took it for an mot says there is no cat but looks like there is one to me. I'm no expert mind! Mpg wise I get up to 40ish on mways/a roads, round town about 23 lol that's with only liberal amounts of throttle...well most of the time!! Im guessing its not a massive problem though, a...

Above, when I start the car on a morning you can smell petrol. For the first minute or 2 oid driving I get 'pops and bangs' even though I'm obviously driving slowly since the engine is cold. After the engine is warm the smell goes away as do the bangs. Its been like this for past couple of days...

Ive not been over either, looking forward to it though. Not long now!

I drive a merc van for sainsburys. Have to remind myself before leaving the yard that the brakes are shiiiite!! And its an automatic to boot! Still good fun hammering it round country lanes. You don't want your shopping from me lol

The speedbumps on my road are more like small mountains and anything lower than the pros would scrape and I can't be having that anymore

You want to buy them then pal?! lol

and hello eibach pro's!! What a transformation they are. They've been on the car for 3 days and I havent stopped smiling. No more swerving round the smallest glitch in the road and no-more creeping/scraping over speed bumps. Granted it looks a bit like a 4x4 in comparison to how it used to but...

What better indeed. Im dying to get a pops and bangs map now!

Genuinely lost for words

Based on a Pontiac Fiero............. quality!!
