got the track rod ends replaced for good measure, and took it into a garage to get the inner cv and tracking done (didnt have the time to do it myself)...cars nice now tracking is all in :lol: juse have 2 problems left....one battery light that is starting to come on more often :( will investigate tomora morning! and the 2nd being a knocking on steering which im thinking is an antiroll bar bush that is on its way out...once all is sorted first thing is to get it sounding abit more like a sporty little number (SLAG!) as it sounds like a little crappy 1.1 at the moment with standard exhaust and inlet...should get it breathing a little better too...but might just spunk all my dosh with the bilstein kit now...looking at a B8 kit with some 45mm springs...should be slammage but without it being silly...i still want it to handle well!:lol: | |

sound mate...loving the direction to the alternator:lol:...i was abit stuck yesterday went out into the countryside with a mate...trying to guess what my knocking was...looking like passenger side track rod end...just gonna renew both next day off..will smooth connect same day...strange that it only does it on the motorway or high revs though...guess its at its most at that point though. | |

well next thursday was due to see a closed induction kit and some new brakes...BUT! the frenchness of the car is showing...inner cv boot has a pin hole it it so needs sorting out, and as of today my battery light has started flicking on and off...its holding a full charge and the alternator is working, just a dodge connection i think:lol: | |

Right used to have a corsa sport (X14XE) which i had for about a 1 1/2 years...loved and hated it...loved as it never EVER! skipped a beat...very general maintenance the whole time i had it, and was very healthy runabout, hated it for being too slow...so while i save up to get a c20xe in it the corsa went from looking like this: |
