Excellent advice
MDE,
Excellent advice... Tyres...I will get around to, though I did change the rims, as they were kinda shabby, I got a set of 17" R type alloys from evil-bay they look and run great. Front & rear discs are now EBC drilled & groved c/w EBC greenstuff pads. Fit front strut brace...sorted thanks Whitter removable towbar...looking for one now, not just for the anti-roll...also as a towbar tch? really :-) Replace upper engine mount bush for a polly one...where do I get one, who is the best supplier? Hood cleaning pack...will be done very soon... Thanks, Sharky |

Thanks Sharky,
My powerflex polly bush was from ebay ... paid around £30 I went for the rubber two part one, rather than the solid nylon one (which is to hard and causes vibration ) ...... I was surprised how much difference the tyres made ... pleased I changed them much more comfort and grip ... I needed to fit a Tow bar and this was the last thing I would have thought of to stop the chassis scuttle shake ....

If anyone is having problems with just their idle ... Just check your alternator output ... Since changing my alternator my Idle is perfectly Smooth .... Why this should cure it I'm unsure .. only reason I can think of was the ECU wasnt being supplied with a constant smooth power supply causing false signals, resulting in a poor idle ? ....
