Hi Rickywilly It was me!! I never spotted you though, you must of been parked out of sight. Suprised it was clean though :D

:D Very happy today!. My local garage has sorted my creaking problem for me. Apparently it was some bushes (anti roll bar) and an incorrect ball joint fitted by a local reno "specialist"! (will be going back to them for a refund). Anyway, his name is Wayne (he is excellent with electrical...

Yeah... i`ve had the judder too. I`ll check the exhaust mouts though, thanks.

Not sure Ravydavygravy. It creaks when moving at slow speed with the wheels on full lock too. Have you had your exhaust mounts changed?

A bit from me on this problem. I too have suffered from the creaking (getting louder as time goes by) and so decided to follow all the advice on the forum that came to hand. First, BG did my dampers and then my local garage have replaced the Track rod ends and o/s & n/s ball joints. Sadly...

Stopped by the fuzz at the traffic lights in Radcliffe on trent near Notts!!!!!!! I think it may have had a blonde lady driving it. Private plate too, what did you do? #-o

Hi all Picked up 422 from BG today after having the dampers refurbed. Then i visited the local tyre shop to get tracking set up and after spending a few quid in total today i can finally say i can drive the car with confidence again. Ben said the dampers were in better nick than some he`d seen...

Hello again Just checked and yes, fluid looks to have leaked around the dampers, so i think i have part of the answer :oops: Still going to have it looked at on friday but it seems likely this is the fault. thanks for the link too BenG.

Thanks guys. I will let you know what the garage say.

:( Hello again. Hope you`re all well. I`m not...422 is cornering very badly now and not being a mechanic i thought i`d see what your thoughts on this problem are. (visit to garage planned for the end of the week) The problem is,the car cuts into corners much sharper than it used to do and...

sorry pat. posted in wrong bit :oops: i`ll keep my eyes peeled next time i do the meadowhall trip eliot, ages since seen another too!
