    The ever elusive knock

    Not it’s standard, I only fitted all the solid mounts this week, it was doing the knocking before I fitted these so I know it’s not them. Airbox, suspension even the exhaust is standard. Could be a knackered shock. I plan on keeping it standard, maybe a few light mods as it’s my daily car. I...

    The ever elusive knock

    Yeah good point, it doesn’t always happen when pulling away, but I can get it to happen, if I get the biting point right on the clutch, then I can engage and disengage and make it do it if you know what I mean

    Slight judder under load

    Hello guys, just a quick one. Just took the 197 out for a spin, and I noticed that going around a left hand corner under hard acceleration there seems to be a slight judder from the offside from wheel. If I accelerate into the corner and let off the throttle it’s seems ok. It’s just under...
