NiCE!!! Looks like fun, i did the ARC race in 2006, had a great time but not sailed since!!

Mate, what a night. Thank god your ok. I had an crash at 40mph and ended up in hospitla for 4 months!! You were really lucky. Very sorry for the recovery guy though.

ok thanks. Car's suspension is all standard

Oh, reason im not just looking for myself is im stuck in London and can't get to my Dads workshop to investigate. Not just lazy, lol

Ok... Symptoms.... Nast crunching noise when the car is cold going over bumps etc. Noise comes from the front end on the drivers side. Doesn't appear to be the gasket on top of the shock. Now developed a vibration when driving around 60 (quite sure it's not wheel balancing) Have to apply torque to the steering wheel when going in a straight line down the motorway, sometimes right sometimes left (rather like driving in a cross wind, its a bit 'floaty' I can feel some movement in the wheel from side to side but not top to bottom. Any ideas what i can look for first ???

shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh :x::rofl: Said its the bast battery he's ever had. Thought i'd have it

Well i looked last week funily enough (managed to pinch one of my dads V6 boat instead though lol!!!) and they were between £70 and £130

I think you were brave to be the one to make contact in the first place and i'm so sorry to hear the news about your Father. But thank goodness you did make contact now and you have the time to see him and tell him your feelings and frustrations. It's unbelievably unfair and i really feel for you James

:confused:

Dunno, i've seen a couple of Z's on here bought for unfer 2K that are pretty tight! Im gobsmacked by the state of the car though. Hope you get it sorted!!

****ing Car Battery Is Flat !!!!!!!!!!! :rant:

Hmm, quite a treck!!!!

What time you lot gonna be there as i don't get home till 6:30 ish ?

lol, a leisurely day for you then!!

which bit is it ??

Is your boost guage working ?

Why doesn't it surprise me that its not a simple job!

I would think anything helps, depends on the cost i guess

Did mine sat, you'll need a new filter, 3.5 litres oil (i used castrol edge 10-60), two axle stands and a jack and a 14mm socket / spanner. I drove the car around and got it up to working temp, took the filler cap off, got it up on axle stands quickly, took out the 14mm nut on the bottom of the sump (BUCKET IN PLACE!!) and it poored out, then remove the old filter (BUCKET IN PLACE!!). rub some new oil on the seal of the new filter, screw it in, clean and replace drain bolt, off the stands and fill it up!! Personally i put some oil in the filter before replaceing. Turned it over briefly and then let it run for a short period on idle. Checked oil levels again and took it for a gentle stroll. etc

That really wouldn't taste nice!

i just put a j spec in my UK car, it's all the same

Driver must have had a headache!!!

Jesus, poor him!!
