I've got a knocking from the front at low speed over bumps.

My mechanic was 100% it was the anti roll bar drop links.

Changed them this morning, still got the knocking!!!

A little fustrated now, anyone else got any ideas?

snapped spring? happened to me once in the meg, found the snapped bit on my drive lol

gave me a excuse to lower it ;)

Coil overs:-)

ive seen some, they got Gavs 320 writen all over them.

its mad how cheap coil overs are now compared to a few years ago.

il be happy with a slight lower on mine though. 30mm perhaps, little more on the front

Could be snapped spring, worn bushes, although a sneaky problem could be a bust damper thats leaked all its lube out and the muck off the road is hiding it

Its over the garage right now. Will let you know.

Thanks

Wish bone bushes...not to bad then.

Not going to attempt them my self though.

Plus rear shockers are rusting and will need doing soon!

Shes worth it though...

yeah not to bad, funny , because if that was our megs we would be fuming calling it all sorts (yes i no its a car :P )

were as the bimmers were like, rrr its on 120k its about time it needed it doing anyway, another 120k easily left in her lol

Lol exactly what i was thinking.

Shes my baby, got to be perfect.

Glad its nothing major i wish i could say the same for mine, noticed oil on the floor opened the bonnet and oil everywhere! oil cooler is hanging on by the hoses but hoses are still attached? going to get it up on the ramps tomorrow and find out where its from and its engine oil ooeeerrr, if its serious i can see this being broke with the alloys and leather going on fleabay

thats not good peter!!

phew for that then :D

id love coilis gav, then some proper wide rubber B)

Cant have wheels this year I dont think..depends how the Shop and my work go,

plus I want to get everything else mint before I start spendingg big money.

theres a few bits on the beemer that could do with getting sorted but nothing major.

ive got the wedding to this year so be hard to save for some 19s when ive already got 18s! when the tyres need changing il use that excuse :P

Well it looks like my oil cooler has come away and cracked hence all the oil shooting up into the engine so nothing at all serious thank god, although now the idea has been put in my head I am very tempted to either sell the car or break it for the leather interior and alloys and fund a e30 going to see what interest i have in it first

Did you say alloys?

What are they?

Im sure ive curbed mine and need new ones :-)

been thinking about my alloys, as i cant afford some nice 19s til prob another year :(

going to prob still lower her, then some spacers to push my 18s out slightly .

seen a similiar car and it looks proper nice!

Yeah gav i`ll have a look at them after my dinner and get you the sizes
