car was in at badbaz's yesterday getting the rear strut looked at for knocking to get them regreased for the fling as coupdnt handle 3days of knocking.
after getting the back seats unbolted and out the car up on the ramp. turns out its the rear anti roll bar bush. to show my lack of mechanical knowledge when barry points out the give in the bush and says "thats what will be causin ur knock".
my daft reply - " whats that ??? the drop link?" lol. hence i dont touch much on the car pmsl.
was good getting a look around the motor and barry explaining some stuff to me and seeing how to take the seats out etc.
he fitted my replacement window switches so they all work fine and i spoke to him about a shudder with the breaks. which he showed me what caused it and explained he reason behind it aswel.
upon leaving baz's im now looking forward to going back in next week to get alloys changed for a better set of the same style, new break disks, new pads, new anti roll bush that i picked up from nobles in penicuik. and hoping all goes well and car should be sorted for the fling next fri with the exception of a good clean inside and out.
also showed me how to change the bush and how easy it was which is something i wouldnt have thot about doing myself . but once showed me i now know how easy it is and would happily tackle it now i know what to do.
i know.some of you probably reading that and going its just an anti roll bar bush its something simple could do it with eyes shut. but when you dont hwve much confidence around the motor to work on it .its a big suprise as to how easy it actualy looks and seems .now that i know how and where it is and how to do it.
so will be keeping a close eye as hes doing the breaks etc . always keen to learn . just have as much cnfidence as a pensioners floppy ..... when it comes to task if theres not an experienced person there to keep me right.
cheers for the work yesterday baz and look forward to next week and the fling !
