Thats what I have a slight tapping noise then a cluck/knock when I hit a manhole or a bit of road which has been patched up. I might see about putting felt under the mounts.....
I will take a pic of the whole unit and post it up. the washers and bush's you use are different to the OE ones. I keep thinking that if the top bush isn't seated right it will 'tap' against the hole in the body of the car. Where the OE ones have a metal sleeve to stop this. There is a big clunk...
Might as well try it and see see if it still does it with another damper on. If it is faulty I'll send it back to fish. :-) I was going to refit my old ones but remembered I left some parts at the mrs doh!
Wheels bearings I thought of but it would make a noise all the time? like grinding noise.
As for the exhaust hangers - I have an orbisoud which came with its own hangers. My other thought was the exhaust bouncing up and down causing it to make a knocking noise on the boot floor, cause if I lift...
Right this is really doing my head in!!!! over the past month or so I have this knocking coming from the rear....I have removed and refitted the rear konis god knows how many times, tried different settings. Had a look at the exhaust to see if its touching anywhere, checked the bumper etc etc...
Thats the one ben!! drivers side is like that and the passenger is near enough fully down!
Hoolio you have a Orb.....how do you stop it banging against the bumper? do your rubber mounts hold it in place good?
I will try and get a pic of the gap, other than that I will see if Birchdown can have a look when it goes to them in feb.
Oh an update on the rear banging noise........I 'think' it could be the exhaust, I had a look around the tailpipes ans I could see marks what looked like rubbing marks from...
The gap from the rubber top mount to the body of the car. drivers side is higher? I'm thinking they haven't been put together correctly. The last place to have them apart were Revolution at newcastle fitting the springs.
Just recently my T has started making a few knocks and bangs, I have (what sounds like) the exhaust banging against the bumper when I go over any uneven road surface - but I don't think it is this due to the exhaust not moving much when you push it. Will have to investigate more!
But I was...
Coming on to 61k :( I bought it a year ago in feb (feb 14th) bought as a valentines present :lol: with 56k on it.
I use it everyday for work. But the last owner who was on here did nearly 50-60 miles a day on the motorway......so I could class it as its had a very easy life!
Hoolio -...
You usually remove the whole lot when fitting a Maxogen kit. Think it says in the manual! :lol: as you get a blanking plug to put over where a pipe used to attach
I have got matched inlets on mine, and I find it more lively and picks up better. Also got PTFE gaskets which keep the heat down :)
Wanted to go for cams but thats if for the car now lol
My mate used to have LSD on his 182 turbo - The first handfull of 182's to start the turbo 'trend' :lol: was a few years ago now mind! was running around the 330bhp but ran all day long at 260bhp, before he sold it he fitted the LSD and it was a HUGE improvement could put the power down and...
I have had alot of people saying its an excellent stereo :lol:
Is the price about right to sell?? as a few people have offered around £120 for it?! I have seen them go for anything between £130-£200 on ebay. For the age of it it is lke new! I don't want tosell it for peanuts as then I might...
I fitted HID upgrade - My car went in for MOT a few weeks back and went straight through :) I got the 6500k which look exactly the same as bmw's/audi's. I have never been flashed by oncoming traffic, I have the height adjuster set on 1 so it is slightly lower but I find them fantastic. when you...
I would say thats the 'only' downside! but I thought most of the time I'm usually downloading music to my ipod/iphone, so why bother with cd's, plus they take up room in the car :lol: . I don't miss having a cd slot as you could easily buy a cd changer. But having all your music on a small ipod...
No mate, it plugs into the bottom of the ipod/iphone etc.... Just like when you connect to computer/charger. You can see from this pic - this is how I had it set up, just ran the cable through the back of the glove box and left the ipod in there.
I bought these from my mrs mate who works for a furniture store, and in one dept they have audio - TV's, Surround systems, all the high tech stuff! and they are a BOSE retailer. She bought them originaly to use but I wanted them so bought them off her, I have had them since june/july and took...
I am selling my full ipod ready Alpine IDA -x100. It is in like new condition with no scratchs to the face of the stereo. I have owned this since around feb/march time. I had it professionaly installed so all the wires are a simple plug in fit (if you are using it in a clio)
Comes with an...
