eeeek! Suspension worry...

Friend of mine at work was just having a poke round the ol' bus and pointed out to me that the front drivers side suspension mount in the engine bay has 'popped' the coilover out so it's not flush...hope that makes sense. Ive no idea how long it's been like that, MOT and Service were only done in Ju...

Re: Brake query

Wheels spinning freely, no stickness under breaking. Rolls ok. New front pads and discs, new rear pads. Rear calipers were sticking but now free......

Re: Brake query

Had a scary moment yesterday. I seemed to gain an awful lot of travel in my brake pedal and not a huge amount of biting. It was very hot and i had done a bit of hard braking. Drove on carefully for a few miles and when tested the bite was back to normal. Any thoughts other than my heat theory? Sent ...

Re: The B3 Stormtrooper...Mot happiness

I would get them done. I had a 306 gti-6 a few years back & had a rear bearing on advisory. Less than 300 miles later the rear wheel left the car, luckily at low speed. Wouldn't ever want it to happen again. That would not be good! Thanks for the heads up. Sent from my GalaxyNote with one hand ...

Re: The B3 Stormtrooper...new exhaust pic

So now got the actual certificate cos my wife forgot it when she picked up the keys and the only advisory is both rear wheel bearings. Would that be the squeaking i can hear?
So should these he sorted asap or non essential?

Occasional hesitancy 4th or 5th gear

95% of the time the 'trooper runs as sweet as a nut but sometimes, usually on a decent run, if i have to lift off the gas for any reason and then go to accelerate again it feels like thete is no power. Almost as if theres a blockage. Its only momentarily and then it picks up again. Its not because i...
