Just like lots of people here my TTAuto has what feels like a transmission vibration around 40 -50mph most noticable when very cold such as after a week or two idle. This vib seems to almost go when warm. I've seen people write about centre bearing, gear box mount sag, turning shaft throught quarter turns and others moving to a one piece shaft. Even tension rod bushes have been blamed. Has anybody got to a true fix without going to a one piece or is this one of those Z problems that you have to learn to live with?

Hi, Was wondering if anyone has changed the kingpin bearings in their car? Just wondering if there is anything particularly awkward about it. Cheers

Hi Bob, I want a voice programable microwave unit to go on a Sigma M30, can you doo one? The guy who fitted the bells in the first place (arse!) did a runner owing £1,000,s. Now theres no one in MK who knows the Sigma cat 1 unit, - does it go in the aux socket on the 'black box' ? Cheers harve

After re-fitting my ECU the Z is dead! On turning the key the red diagnostic LED comes on and stays on. Is this right or should it go off/flash? I replaced the ECU chip with another (known good) chip but it didn't work. Tried putting the original back and it's still the same. I've done this a few times before with no problems. I hope it's just a loose wire somewhere...

I bought my alarm for my car a Meta M99 to go with my Meta M36 T2 imobiliser, to up it to a CAT 1 Alarm/imobiliser. The imobiliser was already on the car when I bought it, so that is why I went for that alarm. Any way, I had it put in, great, there are a few features that I would like to have on it, like a panic button to set the alarm off when people are near it. Kids mostly. But there isnt one. Anyway. I get my car with the alarm fitted, but straight away I notice that there is very little room near my pedals. The air vent that keeps your feet warm had dropped and I had to use my toes to drive. This was also the same on the passenger side. It has dropped slightly s…

Hello all, Need some advice/help. The bolt that holds the starter motor came out again today. The thread on the actual bolt is fine and it seems as though the thread that the bolt screws into has gone. Can anyone suggest how I can get this bolt to stay in. Cheers Vijay

Hiya guys, Just replaced my timing belt, water pump and did all the seals on my 1991 NA today; no problems and it is running beautifully. I have tensioned the external belts as accurately as I can, but I am still getting an intermittent sqeualing noise from them. I plan to check them out one at a time again tomorrow from under the car. I think they may stil be a bit loose. Do you get squeal from belts too tight or too loose ? And how long after breaking them in should you retension them ? Thanks guys. Amer.
