Re: Newly Modded RED 406 1.8i
Lol i know it sounds it but i fixed it! the water was leaking in through 2 places in the boot and in 3 door seals and i dont know why to be honest!
Then with the ignition i got the sticky ignition problem where you go to start it and the wires on the back of the iginition coild burn and does the ignition so i replaced the whole sterring column!
I need to get a new drivers door now some one tried to break into it! but apart from those problems and the leaking oil out of the roker cover gasket and pulling to the left shes ok!
But ill get pics up when i have finished her as im not doing any progress pics!
Really got to see your red beast though liking the look of it

Re: Newly Modded RED 406 1.8i
lol, yeah I know what you mean, you tried looking at the suspension bearing at the top of the mast where the three screws hold it in place?
I never knew the bit that sits under that, but on top of the suspentsion strut was a kind of bearing, they say when these stick as well, it's not the tracking that's wrong, it's that, must need pulling out and gresing or something, it's only plastic (well it looked like it when we pulled it to bits to put the new springs in).
Maybe the leaking is just the compression of the seals of the years?
What do you mean see it though? lol, I got the pics upstairs here.
I phoned the insurance to tell them about all the mods including the exhaust/alloys and they emailed me back asking if the BHP has changed or any mod to the engine has been done, I said no, so they aren't changing my quote, so I'm well chuffed =]

Re: Newly Modded RED 406 1.8i
Cheers everybody, I think the red is called Cherry Red if I remember rightly.
Hope that helps.
