  1. i wish i did but i think he needed some toilet roll more than my earful nothing against civilised cyclists but prats like these should be hanged
  2. right update here- took her to garage this morning and all sorted :) apparently one of the bolts was quite loose but when i asked the bloke which one he goes- i dont know on suspension Ray's done it but he is on lunch break. anyway she is good again and all sounds healthy again :) i hope that it didnt cause any damage to thread. so fingers crossed it wont come back that soon :) i got charged 40 quid for 1 hour labour ( to tighten one bolt ) but apparently that included time they spent on it and test driving it. i could not tackle it until thursday or friday and that would depend on weather cos we have like 40-50 mph winds every day and hailstorms like 3 times a day. so not good. thanks all for concern and especially Gambit ( my hero ) :) who kindly sorted my video :)
  3. i think i will take it to garage tomorrow just to be safe although i have feeling i will have all my doubts repeated :) and yeah that decat sounds tempting haha :) will keep you updated
  4. no no but if you look at that link on first page my symptoms are exectly same as the first chap described. i was reffering to what they say about owners manual thing
  5. definately ruled out Jay, this hapens on smooth straight road, no bumps, potholes etc i checked shocks and they are fine, no play, no clunks over rough road. found this on one of the forums http://www.iwsti.com/forums/drivetrain-components/25833-rear-diff-clunk-knock-2.html

  14. Another update... It got worse :( last nite it was knocking continuosly. When i let go off throttle pedal at round 2500 rpm it goes knock knock knock knock ive made video of it i need to edit it and posted here :( not a happy bunny :(
  15. i have gx blob myself. just to add to all above- you get AWD, you get boxer burble and pretty much 70% of driving abilities of WRX. not as quick of course. As long as it has Subaru badge it will make you smile every time you take it for spin :D
  16. last night i drove home from mates house. It was around half 11 and very foggy with light rain. last half mile before i get home you have straight road emerging from village for like quarter of a mile up the hill. you need to rev it a little to go up that hill. 3rd gear more then enough. when you get to end of that stretch there is a 45* degree bent turning right and goes into flat so if you take it too quickly it will spit you out. well last night i drove up and just before i got to that bent i slowed down to 30mph and what i see in last moment? !Removed! cyclist wearing just black clothes and no lights so as i swerved round him turned in and car started skiding out of the road. so i hit the throttle and scooby got me out of that sweaty situation with absolute ease. got home and thought blimey that was close call -_- i think if you get scared in situation like this thats it end of story. so feeling quite safe driving scooby :)
  17. ok so bit of an update. i think i narrowed it down a little, i think i went under the car today but couldnt see anything obvious. everything is nice and tight, no movement. backbox moves a little when you shake it but has enough clearence not to knock against anything there. so i suppose thats pretty normal. this knocking is intermittent but when its there its double on engine brake and single on moving on from low revs. its not related to brake pedal. and its defo coming from back. i dont think its antiroll bar bushes as they would knock on rough road. this is not affected by surface car is driven on. As Tlag says its more back-forth movement of the car. rather then up and down. So what we come down to is - Diff bushes/braces and propshaft. Possibly exhaust ? Its definately something knocking on chassis/body. It drives me crazy. Can someone shed some light please on potential cost and repair difficulty ? Not a right time for any costly repairs atm for me i am afraid :( thank you for advices lads :)
  18. Ok so last week i had this knock coming from the rear. I thought it was jack in the boot being loose and knocking against body- nope. It came back :( i try to give more info- it doesnt knock driving over rough road- bumps, potholes etc. its more related to forward-backwards movement. And defo linked to accelerator/ brake. Lets say im getting to junction, letting go off the throttle so engine brakes a little- knock knock. Pressing brake - nothing. Then moving on- clutch, accelerator soon as it moves - knock. Drives me nuts. Doesnt knock everytime tho. Just sometimes more audible. Its coming from the rear, tried rocking both wheels no play. Shocks are good. New brake pads. Was thinking about 2 things- exhaust ( tried shaking it- nothing) or drop links? Someone please help
  19. Lovely looking hawkeye mate, welcome onboard :)
  20. nah i meant that scissor style standard jack :) im not sure if i would ever get a bike- that would be me end of me :o
