Power steering mare!!
Just got home from work as karen pulled up in Z saying steering felt weird. started it back up and it let go big time, with pas fluid pouring out. Jacked up car and got karen to put fluid in with me under. poured straight out again looks like its coming directly from pump pulley area. :cry: was hard to see clearly even with torch. is there a pipe that runs very close to (just above) pump pulley? Is it likely to be pump itself. if yes is it easy job to do. ie not cambelt off etc. well fed up as it sailed through mot last saturday. any help/advice appreciated cheers nick p.s. anyone got 2nd hand pump for sale :cry: :cry:

HID lights WOW!!!
Just fitted hid light conversion from Danny's group buy. All i can say is :shock: :shock: :shock: . How the hell i've driven at night for the last 3 years (and survived) god only knows. Gotta be the best upgrade done to car yet (well apart from the fluffy dice :p ) Mind you took me a bit longer than 10 minutes to work out where to put the ballasts. :o Thanks Danny nick

Speed HumpS FFS
Drove over a speed hump in slowing moving traffic a couple of weeks ago. Heard a really nasty bang, pulled over and checked under car but couldn't see any damage so thought nothing of it. Noticed about a week ago car had started to lose water. Only a small amount so topped up and put it down to the hot weather. On saturday evening checked again at hotel in peterborough (JAE) and had lost over 2 litres :( Decided to limp slowly home and miss sunday's jae, well fed up. Got to check car properly last night. Looks like bottom hard pipe (smithys) has been pushed back and water pump pulley has slowly been eating into silicone elbow. car now off the road until i can sort it. so as title says SPEED HUMPS FFS :mad: :mad: :mad:
