About You

Car:
Octavia 4x4 and loving it, loving it, loving it!!!

Topics I've Started

  1. experts-exchange new interface

    Yesterday, 23:38

    Any other experts on here have an opinion one way or the other on the new system? I am not feeling the love for it and finding it a pain to look for questions to answer.
  2. Hunter 4 Wheel Alignment :D

    Just managed to score a Hunter 4 wheel alignment for the 4x4 courtesy of AutoStop of Porth Closest ones to Bridgend but you can search all over!!:D I always thought the rear end was not adjustable but turns out it is :D

    Definately worth the extra compared to the butchery that normally gets passed of as "Tracking"
  3. vrs alloys

    what is the going rate for Mk1 Octavia vrs alloys? I need some new tyres for mine and trying to decide if it would be better to sell them on and get some different ones?
  4. knocking and clunking on braking and driving off

    25 October 2011 - 17:01

    OK, I have had a series of knocks/bangs/clunks etc and am at the stage now where I am not sure what to chaange next :(
    I have had various noises for the best part of 12 months but as of today I have just one noise left....
    when braking hard and then when pulling away I get a knocking/clunking from what seems to be the passenger footwell, the passenger says they can feel it "under" their feet.

    I have over the past 12 months changed:

    last MOT -both front lower arms with new bushes (lemforder parts) - checked today and all still good
    -both front balljoints checked - today and all still good
    xmas time -passenger side gearbox/engine mount changed when the O2M box went in
    couple of months ago -droplinks - checked today and all still good
    last week - both front top mounts and OSF wheel bearing
    today -both of the ARB Bushes (same part number but looks like the ARB did have sleeves as well which are shot.)

    after changing the ARB Bushes today - even without the sleeves in place the knocking over bumps/holes seems to be gone :D (if the sleeves are missing I am guessing it needs a new ARB?)

    checked that all accessible bolts were nice and tight, no sign of metal to metal contact that I could find.
    Am I left with just the Subframe bush or is there something else that can cause a clunk in the passenger footwell? dont want to spend the time and effort to remove the subframe if its not the cause?

    any suggestions folks?
  5. Just went to place some ads and my freedom has disappeared

    Can a mod confirm that my freedom has expired and that it's not a fault
