I thought it might be brake related but they were only stripped 2 months ago. I guess something could have got caught in them though? I'll give the 'brake jabbing' a go.

Looks great. Probably a stupid question as it's hard to see on the pics, but have you got locking wheel nuts?

Welcome! Nice first car! I wouldn't bother with an induction kit (unless you just wanted more noise).

Welcome! I've not seen one like that before. Enjoy the forum.

Coming along nicely Chris. I like the "I can't, the wife will notice" comment! ;)

My car's developed a very high pitched squeal/squeak from the near side front wheel. It doesn't do it all the time though. It happens at about 30mph and when you turn very slightly right. It's not the very loud ball joint noise as that was changed several months ago. Any ideas? Thanks.

Lol, well I wasn't expecting this! Lol. I'm afraid I'm not at liberty to say and I'm definitely not gonna post a picture of my Mum! Sorry Jake :p

Spotted at the traffic lights this morning at 8:15. Anyone?

Sorry, I'm not a mother i'm afraid ;) My birthday's the 17th March and my initials are LJF. I've had the Milf comments for years though! lol :)

Thanks you lot! :-) Had a great day thanks. Went to Coventry Motor Museum with the wife. It's not bad for free entry. Got lots of pressies too which is always nice.

Checked and my dad's got some spring compressors so it's being done on Friday. Got the workshop manual off her too so will have a look at that.

Oh dear :-( sounds like bad news!

Car's just failed it's m.o.t on a broken front spring. I've ordered a new one. Anyone know how hard of a job the fitting is? I've got the day off on Friday to get it sorted with my dad. Any tips would be very much appreciated. Thanks.

I can see what you mean but why would it need to be different? Aren't the mounts in the same place? Isn't the standard exhaust the same apart from the ends? And don't people like k-tech do both exhausts but the only differenc is the ends? I might be totally wrong but I thought they were the same...

Can't you just get the 200 one and then buy some exhaust tips? Or will it not fit?

Oh right, as long as I've not done something wrong. I'll see how they are in about 500 miles then. Cheers.

Mine always sounds like this for a start.

Hi guys and girls. I've changed my rear brake pads and it all went well and they seem to work much better as the old pads were corroded to the retaining clips. I've noticed that on one side the inside line of the disc is still rusty for about 10 mm all the way around. The other side is about...

Yeah you have to take the whole light out. There's about 3 screws I think. Then there are a few clips on the actual back of the light cluster.

You're welcome, glad you got them sorted. There's a guide on here somewhere on how to change all the headlight bulbs on a 197. It's fiddly but not too hard. Be prepared to sacrifice some skin though!
