Ossian

And one from guy I've just been listening to for the last couple of years, the more I here from him the more I like/understand Went to see him a week ago

Thats a good one, not heard that version before. In response another classic, cant find a decent video version.....but then its all about the music!

Unfortunately, Life is like that for some.

Talking about Seger though [video=youtube;NfbBw-YMBeQ]

Great tune and the original by Bob Seger was awsome too......not that I can remember that far back !

Fook picked the wrong uTube link This has the vid link

Ear worm! hows about some DJ Earworm

Been a while since I posted, so I'll go back to one of my all time favourites http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLKiMbC6s2k

Shed of the day ?????? should have been sh!te of the day

You are more than welcome to pop in, will need to ensure I'm 1. not at work and 2. not away on hols...... work part should be ok though as I don't do that many weekends now. When are you coming up and where too? If it's April or after then we can take her for a wee burl (in English thats little drive ) :).

I've wanted to come down to some of the shows for years but theres always been something turned up to stop me. If I can I will get down this year but don't want to commit as yet as I have a lot of prep work to do for a bit of an expedition i'm planning for May. After that I can decide whether I will be down for any of the events, ask me again at the end of May :)

No plans to mate, but you can never say never. You never know what the future brings!

lol i was think along those lines as well, or more the case of holy sh*t have they been emptying the ashtray and hover bags in there! - - - Updated - - - meant hoover bags

Yep but it was the poly bushes that we were discussing not the alloy ones

:) true but they are fixed to the subframe, so if the subframe sits nearer the body so does everything else, hence the change in ride height.

The sleeve that sits between the bush and the bolt

lol yep if I had not been worried about a harsher ride and even more road noise I would have gone down the alloy route as well.

I fitted them along with the inner sleeves.

The washers are for the bottom if remember correctly. The other thing that I found with them is that the inner sleeve that they supply with the bushes is too short. When you try to tighten up the bottom nut the bushes were getting compressed too far. The subframe was starting to cut into the bushes, some packing washers cured that though.

Yep the subframe would sit 10mm closer to the body of the car, so in effect the car would be lowered by that amount. On it's own that would not really be an issue but everything else attached to the subframe would be sitting closer to the body, pipework etc. But for me the main point of concern was that the propshaft would then be slightly out of line. Probably not an issue, but i did not want to take any chances seeing as the props on the Z seem to cause vibration issues at the best of times.

All the best in your new empoyment :), Whats the job situation like out there in the industry (real world)? Starting to get itchy feet myself

Probably just as suggested above, however a couple of other things to look at. Check the wheel nuts, not being fully tight can cause the noise you describe. There was also an issue with the lower suspension arm fracturing at the mounting point for the tie bar this also caused a creaking noise at low speed.

Left Philps then, somewhere closer to home ??

Good luck with the MOT, bets the trip will be a lot of fun.
