Got the spare roll bar spacers fitted today, it would of been quicker to drop the subframe what an arse on Still no idea how they came out in the first place! Had some stuff lying around in the garage so p-clipped one side and metal tied the other these fuckers aren’t coming out this time haha

One thing after another at the minute. At least the anti-roll bar bushes are easy to get to.... :tearsofjoy:

Just doing a quick bolt check following a track night at Teesside Autodrome. How the f**k do you loose the plastic square bit from under the anti-roll bar bush :tearsofjoy: I fitted a cup anti-roll bar while doing the gearbox so luckily I've got the plastic spacers from the original roll bar...

Not illuminating at all mate, then when the fusebox relay switch pins are shorted they come on. Left side of the relay coil is 12v battery live and other side is meant to be switch earth from the UCH

I noticed my headlights weren't working the other week but could of been like this for ages because I only use the car for the odd track day and weekend blast, past MOT in November so must of been working then. A few wiring checks I've done: Swapped fuse box relay with fog light one -...

It’s on the list!

Is it possible to adjust the front camber with standard suspension?

Tracking done and feels 100% better now! Little 3hr track night on Monday night if the weather holds out. Still haven’t found the source of the rattling noise which seems to be right at the bulkhead, the heatshield is quite loose but don’t think it would cause the noise I’m hearing. Not...

When I had a bad earth mine was only 12.3-12.6v with the engine running. After I fixed the earth it was 14.3v +/- 0.1v

Panic over! Found the track rod end nut had worked it’s way loose on the passenger side…..more dugga dugga required

Yeah I think the locking/unlocking was down to low voltage, it was totally gone away now I’ve done a good few miles.

I’ve found a lot of play in the passenger side wheel if I wiggle it side to side which will explain the car pulling to the left. Looks like it’s the swivel joints in the hub carrier, I’ve heard these are no fun to change so might have to get it booked into a garage for this. Typical I was...

Took the car to work this week as a mini shake down and nothing has fallen off the car so that's a positive. Clutch pressure feels nice (previously very stiff) but not much feel for the bite point not really that arsed though - was under the impression I would get more feel from removing the...

For anyone in future who has a similar issue, check your earth cables. My gearbox to battery earth cable was dodgy Replaced it with a new earth cable from Halfords and all good 14.3v at the battery now

Does anyone know where the smaller earth wire goes that’s linked in with the main chassis earth? I want to replace the main chassis earth but struggling to see where the other one goes once it disappears into the harness

The answer is the 2 issues are linked! I thought it was a bit of a stretch for my alternator and starter to fail within a couple days especially after a load of work being done. With the starter solenoid clicking repeatedly I though this points more at a low battery than a starter solenoid...

Having a bit of a bad time of it getting the old girl out the garage at the minute, seems like one thing after another. Had a seized caliper earlier in the week but managed to get that freed off and cleaned up and all good now. Started the car up the other night and had a low battery light...

After changing the gearbox and cam belt over the winter I went to go for the first drive yesterday and the low battery light/stop light came. I’ve had the car started on and off over the last month but very for a long period of time. Things I’ve checked so far: ▪️Battery voltage 12.2v with...

Cam belt and new water pump done, driver side suspension back in. Fitted the arch liners then realised I hadn’t plugged in the ABS sensor which goes behind the liners! Started her up on Sunday and was greeted by an ESP deactivated light on the dash, i read somewhere that going from lock to lock...

Few more jobs done in the garage over the last couple of weeks. Managed to pickup a second hand aircon pump for £20 so got that fitted, clutch bled up with the new braided line from the master to remove the damper. The pedal before was really stiff whereas now it feels a bit softer but still...
