Linx

Checked all the linkages and steering. There is a small amount of play on the steering rack but I don't see how this would cause a vibration. Might be causing the slight tramlining I have. The hubs are nice and clean. I haven't actually measured them for straightness. Wheels have definitely had a proper balance by Reinventing The Wheel. You can see the balancing weights are at different distances across the width of the wheels. I will definitely check the shocks. Otherwise I've spent enough on it this year but I'll go for new drive shafts next year. I did have to change the near side wheel bearing at 75k. Probably due to the wobble wearing it. Bearing night and tight in the outer hub and inner hub nice and tight in the bearing. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Hi Tidgy. I don't think I mentioned it but yes I have. Spot on apparently. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

I find dipped beam fine on my Blob but high beam is just putting a brighter light into the same place! Does anyone know of a way to get high beam lighting up the road ahead without adjusting dipped beam? Cheers.

Well the wheels are back. They look lovely, drive smooth most the time, but still a slight vibration at 80 .

Hi. Have you looked for logged fault codes? Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Haha. Brilliant. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

The wheels have gone into Reinventing The Wheel near Tewkesbury for a total refurb. They say all 4 are bent [emoji20] which they can fix [emoji4]! Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Hi. Just sounds like a flat battery. Was the interior light left on? Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Hi Diggerz and welcome. Check that the pipe into the expansion tank (the plastic one) is not blocked. You can get fungus in there that will block it and cause problems. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

I did have Piranha but a seized piston caused at least one to warp. Now trying MTEC dimpled and grooved.

My last tank returned 330 miles, about 31 mpg. That included 200 miles on motorway cruising at 85 on the clock when I could.

New front discs and pads fitted. Now just a small vibration at 80 but no more shaking on the brakes! . Brake pistons all still sliding in and out easily. I guess the vibe I can still feel is the wheels. I'll put them in for checking and straightening properly before going away in a couple of weeks.

Maybe even though it had only done 150 miles, it's been down a pot hole and buckled the inner rim of a wheel. A tyre fitter could spin them up on a balancing machine to check for straightness. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Yep. OK. Thanks. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

They're about half worn. I fitted new discs and pads last year. I've ordered some new discs now. If that doesn't fix it, i'll put all the wheels in for straightening. If that doesn't work I'll fit new drive shafts.

Hi Scuby ghost. I know what you mean but I can only feel it through the steering wheel not the pedal. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

I discovered I'd got a seized brake piston. I guess this has warped the disc. Refurbished the calipers at the weekend with new seals. They all have a lovely sliding fit now. The steering wheel does feel a bit smoother when cruising but when braking especially from 80+ it's quite a bit worse! . When I checked for warpage by running the car with the front wheels off the ground, of course there were no wheels clamping the discs to the hub. So I expect the pads were holding the discs straight and giving a false impression. I think it must be discs but could it be driveshafts or CV joints?

Have they got another one you can try? Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Are there any balancing weights on the wheels? I'm just thinking perhaps none of the tyres have been balanced.

I don't know 😄. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Turn the ignition on, then press the button on the key fob once and you can start it. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Amazing everyone was so keen to start with. I suddenly thought of it the other day and thought I must have missed it 🤔. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

Yep take the callipers off to make sure the pistons move in and out OK. You might find one has seized. Check the discs for warpage too. Sent from my HTC Desire 530 using Tapatalk

What happened to this meet?

I got my fronts balanced at a different garage yesterday. The good news is one wheel was 20 g out on the inside and 10 g on the inside. The bad news is they said my wheels were buckled . A bit strange no-one else has said that and a bit strange it's the same with the rears on the front. Maybe all four are buckled . Anyway it is a lot better around 70/80 mph. Strangely seemed more noticeable around 30/40. Probably just me feeling for it. I'll spin them all up and see how bad they are and look into getting them straightened.
