I know, it was on the wheel that way when I got them, I left it as I needed to get it from the lock up to the MOT place, I knew I would have to buy one. I wasnt trying to hide it.

Danny, fuck knows how you cope. Iv had my 106 for 8 days and im trading it in tomorrow. It is by far the worst car ive had. Rattles, creeks, lights on, lights off, the fear of joining motorways!

Get the car back today, complete with a cat welded in to make it easier for future MOT's, too much ball ache trying to find a cat to fit.

On the pannel that you can see if you are looking directly at the brake disc/hub at the back of the wheel arch.

Not part of the chassis just that plate. He reckons he can sort it for around £140

Going to update my thread with the pics soon. Seems weird though as my car is really clean everywhere else

New drive shaft in tonight = problem solved

The bearing that sits in the housing at the back of the block had collapsed.

Yeah it will be never ending so long as I have the car, it's great fun on the road but I'll always want more power out of it Laura approved of the 'climbing frame' Ian Mike and Greg werent so happy about walkking the lenght of the track to get back to the stand, in the rain, as we tried with them in the back and the arches just sat on the tyres
