Re: Halfrauds garage prices are unbelievable!!!!!
Where else would you want them to practice? Where they might be needed is probably a good idea. Look at what we have just been doing with the Olympics. There was big increase in security for that. Big cities are ideal targets. What part of the MOD do you work for torque? well i have never saw it in...

Re: steering , funny , does anyone else ./.
First off if check the alternator belt as that's easy. Then check steering fluid levels. Then I'd move onto harder items like upper bushes snd inner track rod joint. Word of warning about the power steering fluid change, what ever u do don't let the reservoir run dry. It can suck air into the pump ...

Re: steering , funny , does anyone else ./.
As ur probably aware there quite complex the front suspension setup which causes a few headaches when trying to locate knocking, groaning, creaking and tapping noises.

Re: steering , funny , does anyone else ./.
First off all acertain which side the noise is coming from if any it could be that clutch pulley. If u find it groaning from one side jack up, locate two upper arms. Look up into the arch where the strut goes between the arms. Where the arms attach to the upper mount bracket is the "bush"...

Re: steering , funny , does anyone else ./.
U say grinding? Could u have mistaken it for a groaning noise? Only ask as I had it on slow steering a few times. First time was a dry inner tie rod joint, second time (today) was an upper rear arm bush that had half popped. If its the clutch pulley u need a tool along these lines; http://item.mobi...

Re: steering , funny , does anyone else ./.
Not the actual clutch, but the alternator has a clutch in the pully and that can sieze up causing the belt to jump at low revs. You buy a new clutch pully for the alternator and you need a special tool to get it off and put the new one on. PM adamss24 about the tool as he did mine when it happened....
