    Knocking Sound N/S/F - Worn Bushes? - LCR

    Hi all, this sounds like a worn bush to me but i'll pick your brains anyway. When driving over uneven road, I get this knocking sound from the N/S/F suspension as the car rumbles over it. The sound is as rapid as the car goes over the knobbles in the road. I am ruling out the shock absorber...

    Worn Steering Wheel and Gear Knob.

    I know I'm not the only one with this problem. I'm sure that I read on here somewhere that LCR steering wheels and gear knobs are actually trimmed in red leather and are painted/dyed/whatever in black. Are paints available and has anyone tried them?

    Sorry I know this has been discussed before, but searching didn't really reveal the info I was after! I've noticed that the gap between the top mount cap, and the metal of the car seems to be bigger than I remember (offside in particular), and there is an uneven gap left to right. I was...

    I've got a LCR and went to Snetterton on a trackday on Monday.

Then when...
