hi
front, back or middle ?
how bumpy is your yard?

[s2driveruk]

check your wishbone bush bolts for tightness as mine have worked slightly loose recently (stretched the bolt maybe...?) and that causes a knock too

[neebover]

Hmmm... ok..

Yard very bumpy
Replaced bushes all round and tight as can be (Was knocking before replacing bushes)
O/S/F Anti roll bar front link 8A0 407 465 replaced June 06
Rear diff mounts replaced July 07

Knocking appears to be coming from the front of the car so prob Anti Roll Bar???
She has been SORN since July 2008

If only I was as clued up as you lot!!! Thanks to the Forum!

Another vote for worn drop links

Ok.. Pre Mot..

I need:

* N/S/F Anti Roll Bar Link (Knocking)
* Indicator Stalk
* 2 x Windscreen Wipers

Any thoughts on where to get these and prices?

Not bad considering been off road since July last year!! Are my emissions ok????

CO = 0.10%
HC = 27ppm
Lambda = 1.01
CO = 0.03%

Any advice welcome on parts above..
Cheers
Chris.

Drop links from german and swedish are ok and are metal. I would replace the pair, think i paid abour £24 each last year. Get the wiper blades from there as well... they do bosch ones quite cheap. Not sure about the indicator stalk tho.

Emissions are ok

for comparison mines were (for an ABY K reg)

CO = 0.02% (limit 0.20 %)
HC = 9ppm (limit 200ppm)
Lambda = 1.004 (limit 0.970-1.03)
CO = 0.00% (limit 0.30%)

Limits for the 3B are higher and doable without the cats

[neebover]

Cheers.. I'll get onto them.. appreciate that
