  1. Hi and welcome...I see you've met Gambit :D he doesn't bite that hard!
  2. Not at the moment stants the gauges all in and wired up in pod,only boost done,hopefully get the other 2 sorted maybe this week or next.The !Removed! radio was a pain to get back in even though it appeared that there was loads of room.
  3. Are you sure all of the pipes are leak free?Soapy water then spray lightly over pipes will show any leaks..
  4. Finally got a td05 at last,and got a quote for remap...So hopefully when its all done- 300bhp would be nice :) Savage if you're reading this, need some of your valuable help mate ;)
  5. I had 1.6 laser,then 2.0 laser then 2.0gl,then a mark2 3.1,god that was awesome,sounded great even had a bonnet scoop and starsky and hutch paintwork!!Always wanted a 2.8 but never got one....Like you say how times have changed :)

  11. Hi and welcome :)
  12. Hi and welcome to the site :)
  13. Christ all mighty :(
  14. They must be building them better then,as I few people where I used to work had them,and they didn't last particully long..That was a few years ago mind you.
  15. Right just spent the last couple of hours taking my front calipers off and pads out and greasing the rear of the pads and the pins/bolts.What A F***ing nightmare.Not one bolt/pin etc had any grease on at all! !Removed! pain in the !Removed!...anyway fronts all done and took for a short drive and I can still hear this !Removed! noise! Suppose it must be the rears then,oh well I know what im doing on Wednesday then Got some copperslip grease from Halfords today !Removed! great tub of and used the discount card....assistant didn't know they did a scoobycard...so had to wait for manager...Got the discount :)
  16. Cheers all for the advice :)...i'll let you know how i get on
  17. Do I need to grease anything else apart from the back of the pads?Cheers
  18. Welcome along to Soc mate :)
  19. I did that to both fronts yesterday,got a **** load of crap out but sounds still there.Also wiggled the wheels and no movement so hopefully its not the bearings.Just ordered some copper grease so pick that up tomorrow and grease back of pads etc...And check the rears :mellow:Just hope its not so !Removed! cold as today.
  20. Its just so !Removed! annoying...and it gets quite loud
  21. Well ive got this squealing noise-only slightly when going straight,gets worse if I turn the wheel right,but if I brake the sound goes then a few mins later the noise is back.The noise appears after 10-15mins running.Had the front wheels off checked pads/discs all are fine plenty of pad left..Havent checked the rears yet.Came across an old post on here that Gambit said it could be the power steering belt needs tightening and/or replacing.Is there any pictures of this? If it is this why when braking does the sound go for a few miles??Any help appreciated.
  22. The wheels just fine mate :)
  23. Went to visit Savage today and got lovely replacement steering wheel(very nice),and had a good chat and learnt quite a lot..(whether it will stay in my brain is another matter )Nice to meet you at last savage....On the way home squealing from front wheels on and off....!Removed! cars! But only when turning right,so when home off come the wheels lots of crap/crud between disc and backing plate,removed it all,and touch wood the noise is gone-pads and discs are fine.Will check the rears tomorrow...
