Well I thought that too, but then would you be looking for something like that ordinarily? I'm sure that few of us would sit in the car and put pressure on the steering wheel whilst stationary and that's the only time that you can detect this..
The other T that I performed the test in is a sub...
To be honest, I'm erring on the side of further quirks for the knock that you feel through the floor - especially after I found that it was the same in another car which is v v low mileage. However, if you find anything, I'll be keen to hear about it!
Managed to find the time to get the car hooked up to the ELM OBD reader lastnight. My mate has purchased some software which gives a whole host of different readings and graphs and has around 18,000 manufacturers fault codes - for around £30 - not bad really. It pointed to the following error...
I read that it's not unusual for paint tins to explode during hot weather due to the increased temperatures inside a car.. Something for all to consider - always take a few black bags or something if buying paint in summer?! :!:
what a bargain PR!
I signed up for one of the £1 for a couple of months Auto Express + free AG kit - that was worthwhile (especially when I cancelled because that magazine is a waste of money!) :D
As per Cue's point, detailingworld has left me in quite a qaundry over exactly which products to buy. There's no doubt that it's a fountain of knowledge but it's quite baffling for beginners... So far I have purchased some buffing cloths and Dodo Juice Red Mist.. In my head I'm building up a...
Thanks to all for the comments..!
My mate has just purchased an ELM laptop module so hopefully that will be with us fairly soon but I imagine the T will be sitting around for at least a week once I've confirmed the issue and ordered the part(s) :(
I got my dad to sit in the driver's seat yesterday and asked him what he thought of the 'clonk' that you can feel through the floor pan when moving the wheel with the engine running. His comment was that I was being over sensitive and that he would expect something such as that when trying to...
Thanks guys,
aarontrophy, thank you for the offer, I think that I may be able to use a guy nearby if I don't manage to work out which reader to purchase. If that fails, I'll drop you a PM - thanks! :)
I agree that this fault is quite common. I have performed the dashboard fault check before...
Got into my car excited about heading to Bedford this evening and as I drove down my road, my excitement died.. The Exhaust emissions light was on and unlike before, it was static, not flashing.. Restarting the car did not clear it so I left it on the driveway and I shall be borrowing my fair...
Any that show the steering system would be quite handy please.. :D
I looked over on CS and trawled through various posts pointing to similar issues. Noticed that AJR has had significant discussions on this matter and a number of others have experienced it too. It was slightly worrying that...
Watched that yesterday - quite clear that the 200 is all over the back of the Focus - Reno strikes fear into the hearts of faster cars again!
Saw a focus RS in the city last night in the delightful kermit green and I'm not quite sure what I make of it. The front looks very menacing and rather...
That's true.. Dad and I are hopefully going to get the car up on stands tonight and see what we can find. PR (or anyone else for that matter), are you able to get any diagrams at all please?
I've discovered that I too have this issue :( at first I only noticed a slight clunk in the steering upon first applicatio of lock following a period of the car standing still (a couple of hours or day or so) today I checked for the feeling of a lose joint and the detection of knocking through...
Interesting, this doesn't strictly follow the topic but felt I should mention - i found the seats uncomfortable over long journeys at first, however once I made sure that I was sitting well back into the seat, pushing the base of my back into the seat back and having the seat upright, I haven't...
What a great job!!! I would so love to be able to surf - can do pretty much most watersports but have never had the chance to try surfing... Any chance he could get me some DC shoes at a bargain price?? :wink:
That would be pretty darn cool.. What does your mate do? The snowboarding video is crazy, equally so is the MX video! The guy must be totally fearless!
