Pinewood Posted April 3, 2022 Report Share Posted April 3, 2022 I did suggest @CAZ do the honourable thing in the car park, and provide me with a bit of elasticated material from her person, whilst Mr 997 was out of earshot 😂 I always carry a stapler in the boot for a damsel in need 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick1964 Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 (edited) Just had a 4 wheel alignment at Tuned UK, close to Wrexham. I had this done last year, but the replacement of my front water pipes in Feb, including dropping the front subframe meant a trip back for a fast road setup. To say the difference was night and day is almost an understatement and it’s the best £100 I’ve spent on the car. Superb and highly recommended.

gillbe Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Ordered front engine mount replacement from local OPC, for a total of £138. Hoping this will magically fix a vibration in the drivetrain around 3000 rpm and an occasional pendulum effect at the rear if pulling hard out of a roundabout. If not, dmf seems to be the next candidate. Front engine mount 1 x 9A1 375 023 22 Console for engine mounting (numbered 2) 2 x 9A1 375 257 01 Stop (numbered 3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bally4563 Posted April 6, 2022 Report Share Posted April 6, 2022 Not mine , but a 2.7, changed the gear box oil, like a Knife through butter now, probably first time in 105k bloody stank!! Did it the cheats way and put a 40mm hole through the Ali tray, saves any potential geo issues, by removing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonald Posted April 7, 2022 Report Share Posted April 7, 2022 Stone chip shattered my windscreen today. Replacement scheduled for next Friday as long as I'm willing to make a round trip of 60+ miles. Boring & I have an excess of £100 to pay but better than paying for the whole thing myself. It will be lovely to have flawless new glass, especially when night driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it has the same elements, it'll be better than the 17 yr old glass. They tell me the full price is £1553.19 so I must be grateful it's mostly covered by the insurance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
