stants Posted July 12, 2014 Author Share Posted July 12, 2014 Spent the last two days trying to find the cause of the ticking/slapping sound, i assume i have something sat in the tread of tyres or stuck to one of them. Doing my head in. Wow cant beleive how much that snow foam costs ! Luckily I know someone who distributes commercial autoglym/turtle wax products to the car wash industry. Have loads of tfr wax and snowfoam sat at home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dogconker Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 watch it doesn't break the fins of the turbo and drop in the engine? Is it a Focus by any chance? No it's a Subaru XV 2.0D, spoke to the dealer they just said bring it in a week on Wednesday, so they're not too worried It's in warranty so if it blows the turbo it'll be their bill Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 The merc was a 14 plate coupe which tried to follow me down the slip road onto the carriage way . What can I say "I've got expensive taste " [emoji12] Don't think they expect a 17yr old scooby to eat £20k+ cars . I do love the look on their faces when I've proved my point and eased off and they come past me [emoji15][emoji4] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 All classic clutches are the same dimensions although I'm unsure if you can mix different brand thrust races with clutch plates. Im afraid i Couldn't tell you if foz are the same as classic clutches . Have you tried cross referencing the part numbers ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james26 Posted July 12, 2014 Share Posted July 12, 2014 Just waiting for the part number my foz is up for sale and the clutch started slipping today but the dude that was buying has a clutch for a uk 2000 so I'm hoping it will otherwise om stuck lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaulson Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Does snow foam do as good a job as washing by hand? Cars look awesome when covered in it mind. I've been busy the past couple of days helping my brother in law bail his field, bailer went wrong in every way it could as well which is annoying. All done now though! Yesterday morning we went to the Subaru breakers and they had sold the intercooler I was after, also all the bonnets had massive stone chips to rival mine so not worth getting a replacement. They did offer me a "High Flow" intercooler, it was massive! Said they want £220 for it... considering it's like £800 for one I may get it but for now I've walked away. Quick question, I was under the impression you can use a blob scoop on a bug but they said it's not possible without some modification. Is that correct? May head out for a drive today, get some fuel (Haven't filled up in 2 weeks, joys of driving little miles). Then go on an adventure to make up for it :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
