well people,

i just thought i'd share this, it's prolly something u all should go check (YES NOW)...

today by luck i happened to pop ma hood to shown someone tha insides... and there it was, a bolt with no home! AHHH :eek:

It was from the engine mount (and i wondered y tha altinator belt kept comming loose)

I think it was due to tha fact that the owners b4 me had a dodgy mech!

But anyway go make sure all ur blots are tight (the ones that are near the altinator belt adjuster plate),

My engine gained about 10CMs or more from the ground by tha time i got em all tight again! I had to jack the engine up from underneath!!!

Anyway, just thought i'd share it

Craig.

PS i put it in here rather than in BOTH tech sections!!!

Rhys these can be expensive cars!!! Well hell just the other day my mechanic was fixing an exhaust problem and what would you know plyers straight through the radiator!!! Damn that!

It shouldnt matter what the cost as long as you have fun....right??
My theory any way!!
Gotcha

Yes Danielle they can be pretty expensive if your not too carefull with them, she's no fun atm though. I'd enjoy it more if I was driving it. She'll get there though.

Also sorry to hear about your radiator, hope the clumbsy dick head got it fixed for you!!!

hmmm seems conditions aren't too limiting, so looking at it that way, yeah... it's been great :D

At least I can still use the stereo when I start to miss it ;)
