Is there an easy way of replacing the front tie rod dust boots? which are the corragated rubber ones shown in the picture below. Will it be a matter of taking the front whhels off breaking the ball joint undoing the nut adjuster on the middle of the tie rod and slipping old boot off and putting new one on? Thanks for your replies in advance guys. :bow: This is all I need for a 12 months MOT :dance: :dance: :dance:

near the new B&Q/park and ride. 4.20pm today.

Im planning on having some work done in the near future on the engine. The plenum will be removed and new hydraulic lifters being fitted. So going to need plenum gasket and rocker gaskets. How much further work is involved in fitting new forged pistons at this point and can you just fit forged pistons (and na squirters) without having to hone(bore the heads)? Thanks in advance Barry

Firstly my insurance company who have been so good and taken my money for the last 12 months has decided to not renew my insurance due to a change in underwriting policy so a big thanks to them :rant: Anyone recommend a good company? Second I have 95 M plated TT UK auto Zed which is my money pit :rolleyes: It is having trouble at idling around 2K in neutral and park, not all the time but becoming more often than not. It has a hard time changing up sometimes and stays in low gear for far to long then decides to change with whiplash results which is a real annoyance cruising along looking like fat eric? When you drive it fast it has no problem at all. She is…

Hi people, I changed my spark plugs today and found a couple of issues. 1. Coilpack number 5 and 6 I found with its rubber part on the bottom cracked. and 2. Spark plug number 3 I found the screw bit of the plug oily. Just wanted to know whether if these are serious issues. I did take the car out for a little drive. Due to traffic, I couldn't take the car to higher speeds but so far no sign of missfire or anything. Any help would be appreciated guys. Cheers.
