It wasn't that bad till I adjusted it, and made it worse :lol:
 
Only phone pics, I'm not sure exactly what I did but I was playing around with HTC Zoe recently and when I turned it off they went funny. Anyway, whilst out and about at the weekend me and Caz stopped off at a castle for a cream tea in the sun. I tried to enjoy myself but someone was telling me to slow down :lol:

I couldn't get her into the car park though, the odd entrance with drainage would have resulted in considerable grinding or even getting stuck :lol:
 
No full pics as I ran out of time but today Amy was stripped back of any LSP and given an IPA wipe down followed by Sonax Hybrid NPT. Hopefully will see the car out till 2014. Wheels also came off for fresh protection and I gave the arches a clean and some protection too. the few bits I did get a picture of before it was dark

I'm also loving their QD. I gave Carrie's (dirty) wheels a wipe down. There is no LSP on these, simply wiped over with QD then sprayed with the hose

I didn't measure tbh. I will assume both mine and carries were the same and measure from that at some point. Although carries is running on 205s so it will be approximate

Ok mate. I'm assuming 4mm will have to be taken off the measurement for the extra sidewall on the 205's? Are you the only Twingo on 182's?

There seems to be more and more on them. I wasn't the first, and won't be the last to get some 182s. They seem to suit the 133 really well, the chunky body kit suits chunky spokes I think
 
She's been driven rather than detailed lately. Not much to some but I feel dirty myself driving it lol

She's only done 450 miles in just over a month which is less than half what I was doing before, including trips up and down the A1, much owed to getting the train to London and piking lifts off a junior in the office. Gonna sort a slight knock from the front offside strut this weekend and smash the tabs on the back finally since she does catch under load still
 
I bet if you posted these on DW, they would be thinking your account had been hacked :lol:
 
I finally removed the blockage from the heater and knocked the tabs back today. About time :lol:

Not sure what the slight knocking is but I checked the coilovers and they seem fine. Gonna try and Identify it over Xmas. It doesn't do it all the time, and only over bumps. It is not the ball joints, and all other components look in good health. Hoping it's not the rack. In fact I cleaned the lower arms and ball joints uo today whilst under the car and they're like new. The orange ring is still orange
 
Nope. Not drop links. I only replaced them this year, and they were fine upon inspection today
 
Engine/gearbox mounts?

My RS had an annoying knock (and I noticed some sort of wobble in the front) which disappeared when my lower suspension arms where replaced. But it started doing it again recently when the outdoor temperature went down.
 
I've checked all the mounts and rubber joints yesterday, nothing apparent.
Today the noise shifted as I went around a roundabout (which I've not really done much of recently) from one side to the other as if something were rolling about, so I think it's something under a piece of trim like a stone or similar :lol: which makes it hard to track down! I'm satisfied it's nothing mechanical for now from my own checks
