no but can do that at the weekend when i have more time....now i know it's easy enough to remove i can just unbolt it and pop a new one on.

honestly didn't think of replacing it but i am going to.

Got to take mine off and do it what did you use to clean it.

 

[LEE69]

exactly, i would be better selling it and getting some crappy small thing to drive me to work and back.

Taking it for mot,fingers crossed it should be ok

 

[csd_19]

Took my car in for a service, mot, aircon service, replacement coil packs, both belts and waterpump.

Then i was told there is no point them doing the mot yet as its going to fail on a dodgy headlight bracket, damaged nsr spring, broken exhaust bracket and its going to cost over £900 to fix the steering rack, i never had any problems with the steering.

I'd be seriously getting a second opinion

+1 - take it to your local council place and get them to MOT it after you sort the broken spring, exhaust hanger and headlight bracket.

What did they say was wrong with the steering rack?

I've fitted my LCR front splitter

 

[FroggyLCR]

Passed her MOT

Only one advisory, both front wish bone bushes starting to deteriorate.

So poly bushes soon.........

Just fitted two front anti roll bar link arms. Raised the coilovers all round. And fitted new rear bump stops and dustcovers.

(Yesterday) new dipstick+ tube fitted, both vac/breather lines on inlet manifold
Today, fitted a new tyre, to stop that awful bearing type noise (cheap rubbish tyre fitted before) ordered 2 strut mounts+bearings, so I can lower the front soon
Got my old inlet mani back from the engineer, might have to refit due to leaky 8/10mm port on the current one
