Nice one! lol :) Result

Hi guys :) It's just on 120K which isn't really that high? The engine feels and runs like new other than this :( I'll do as you have said and get it cleaned first then try and see were it's coming from!

Oh sorry it's a 1998

Hi guys, When i bought my car it had an oil and filter change in March. I checked the oil level not long after i bought it in June and it was nearly empty!! I thought WTF :faint: So off i went to buy some fully synthetic blood for her. Now a last week i checked the level again and it was...

Yeah i was going to say they are on EBAY at £100 for the full set. Pain in the **** and i really want to sort mine soon!

Thanks for all the comments guys, Wish i'd done a bit more research before i bought my car because changing all these bushes is gonna cost me a lot of time and money! Gonna tackle the gear linkage first methinks and quickshift it etc.

Four figures?? Jeez that bad?? So i should maybe do them bit at a time? Whcih are easy and hard etc?

Would this still be okay for the FWD 2.4 V6?? Also would a garage charge a fortune for the changing of these? I am pretty competent mechanicaly but havn't got a lot of tools etc and i should imagine some of the bolts/old bushes will be hard to remove? :( Thanks

Well i think it looks quite smart mate as my car is silver with silver 18" reps :) I've tried to use Autosol but it seems to have a 'Coating' over the chrome and it has discoloured under the coating so i don't think i can do anything mate anyway :(

Hi guys : ) Whilst i'm not working and don't have some ££££ to spend on the V6 i'm doing little bits on the car that don't cost much or nothing at all..sorting sqeeky brakes...cleaning the engine bay and boot shuts inc declogging the drain holes under the battery and servo:tapedshut...

Thanks matey will do :)

Thanks for that mate :) For the record i've just done another proper MPG test and got 26 :( that's pretty much all around town though so not bad! Better than the 17 i was getting in the Scooby :D I'll have to find some of those facelift lights! How little is minimal work mate?

Well there's always one knob on any forum! I actually thought there wouldn't be one on here.

Hi mate, I've got 29 and 31 MPG on the trip the last 2 tanks and also worked it out by the gallon etc and got 30.I have been driving a lot slower than i would be usual becuase my wife is pregnant and i'm being a good boy now lol Have you got some pics of yours lowered mate?? :) Also your...

Well it was a local car and i was sick to death of looking for a decent car for the money! Being finished up from work i only had £1500 max and the amount of dogs etc i seen was annoying the hell out of me. I couldn't beleive it when i seen the ad :) Thanks for the kit advice mate!
