Car lower on one side than other?

Re: 1.2tdi glow plug relay clicking
Yeah, it does seem odd... I find my intermittent wiper relay quite loud too... I don't know if its to do with the type of relay they use or if they are just bad relays or something?

Re: 1.2tdi glow plug relay clicking
Had noticed this in my 1.6 tdi over the last week when its been sub 2-3 degrees (C).... so i think it could well be a characteristic of these cars...
dosnt bother me that much (If it bothers you, just turn up the radio )

Re: Brand NEW Clutch Chatter/Grinding

Re: Brand NEW Clutch Chatter/Grinding

Only audible from 1st to 4th. Let me know what they say about your clutch when you take it in. May have to take mine i...
