Sorry i've been away for a few days camping.

Thanks for the advice

I have whirling noise at higher speeds (well 40mph+) coming from the drivers side rear wheel. It's quite noisey. I suspect this is worn bearings?

Anyone know how much a garage would charge to replace it?

I got one painted jade green forsale. £10. You would have to pick it up from Widnes though. Can't be bothered posting it.

Or try ebay.

When i changed my exhaust myself I forgot to put the metal braid thing back on. Anyway it used to creak a bit from below the gearstick area. It was vibrating against the bracket. Had to adjust the position abit to get it right.

Anyone know where I can buy a mk3 bonnet bra? or does anyone have one for sale?

Autobra told me that thier 6n bra also fits mk3... can anyone confirm this?

Thanks for the help guys!

Well I just checked the docs. I had put them away for safe keeping and then forgot where the safe place was... like you do.

Anyway the actual wording is:

Offside front bonded suspension damaged but can function as intended [2.4.F.3]

Any idea what that means anyone?

Hmmm i'll have another look in the morning.

Just a quicky! Could that cv joint be the cause of a screeching noise I sometimes get when turning left?

Thanks Gaz

That's what I thought. Where the heck is the suspension bush? I had a good look under the car with my torch but couldn't see anything obvious other than that.

I had an advisory that the front passenger suspension bush had perished. Just had a look now and this is the only thing I can see wrong.

Is that the bit that needs replacing? It's split. How hard is it to replace?

Any help greatly apreciated :D ...

Thanks :wink:

The bonnet seems to have shifted back towards the windscreen. It catches along the lip below the screen even when adjusted on the hinges. The left/right alignment seems ok. I caused some cosmetic damage to the bonnet when i tried to force it :roll: not really that bothered though I ...

Had a small problem involving my bonnet bursting open at 40mph. :shock:

Anyway now it wont shut. I think the hinges may be bent. I removed the bonnet and just placed it back in place.

If the hinges are bent how do I go about replacing them. I don't see anything in the manual about removing the ...

Can anyone recomend some black paint to use on alloy wheels. Just want to pick out some of the detail with it. Think I want matt not gloss.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I wasn't sure if the mounting points would be the same.

What year is it?
