    OSF knocking noise

    So, I've developed a knocking noise from the OSF wheel areas. Sounds rotational as it increases with speed. It goes away when I turn left or brake and gets louder if I turn right. I've had my front brakes replaced about 2 months ago and a mechanic looked at the steering a week or so ago and said...

    Brake judder

    So my car has developed brake judder. Nothing when driving, nothing with light braking, like coasting up to traffic lights and nothing under hard breaking but when normally braking you feel a judder through the pedal and steering wheel. I've read possibilities of warped discs, stuck calipers...

    Projector headlights vs Reflector headlights

    I have a nimbus grey 197 with the chrome reflector headlights but I have recently bought some secondhand mk3 black projector headlights simply because I think they will look better! When I've got them home to inspect them, it looks as though the projector headlights have 2 extra bulbs in them...

    N/S/F slight knock under braking

    Hi guys, This is possibly a well known or repeated question but I will ask anyway. I have a very slight knock from the N/S/F of my car but only under braking while going downhill. I can not hear it while driving or when braking on a flat. Any ideas, obviously without seeing the car it's...

    Acoustic valve

    Hello all, I know this is another acoustic valve post but I've searched all the posts from this page and others and although I can find posts of people discussing various pipes and valves, I don't know which ones they are discussing.

    Road Tyres - F1 As 5 vs Michelin PS4

    Hi guys, This may have been brought up a thousand times and if it has then I'm sorry but I'm after some new road tyres (225/45/17) for my 197. I've read reviews and got it down to the Goodyear F1 Asymmetric 5s vs Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. Can we have a vote over which ones are best for the 197???

    Car over fuelling/running rich

    Hi all, Took my car for an MOT and it failed the emissions test. Was told the CO2 level was at 10, exhaust smells of petrol, the car is running at 20mpg and I spend £20 in fuel doing a 60 mile round trip. Mechanic told me the car was over fuelling and it probably needs a remap. I took it to a...

Is this now attached to my Pioneer head unit, to increase watt power or is it just unnecessary weight??? The...

    Bumping ride when drive slow

    Hi all, So I've had my car a few months now and the car feels bumpy when I drive slow, even on brand new, just laid, flat tarmac. I can only describe it as driving with one wheel like an egg almost. Took it to a garage they said I had a broken spring, after seeing the price for a genuine...
