thanks mate. where are you again? and what bits do you have?
better to ask what bits he aint got
close to yatton, north somerset.... loads of parts.......
well last nite went well. ish
new drive shaft is on. but now i have a vibration over 60????
also when i took off all the bits i find the calliper extention for the bit brakes is only held on with one bolt!!! wtf!!!! i dred to think what else could kill me on this car
well what can i say. after investigating the knocking sound and vibration i find that the passenger side cv boots/joint has gone and the two bolts holding the outer part of the caliper on has been snapped off and aren't there. i have been driving round in a death trap! not bad considering the car was advertised at £3800!!!!!!
now i dont have any money left to fix and this is my only car. so im fu@ked!!! absolutely fuming!!!!!!

Did u buy it from a member on here? Contact whoever you bought it from & just voice your disappointment with the dangerous issues you've discovered. He may not even known about it if he doesn't carry out the work himself.
If he does know about it, go down and park it through his front door.

lol love it
Although you can't really tell for sure what a person is like from the other side of a keyboard, Nick always came over well. The first thing you need to do is get in touch with him and calmly ask him if he has any ideas. Its a pita but it all sounds relatively easy to sort. GL.
yeah thats the thing he did seem really genuine. he may not have a clue but i know he fitted the engine in the car. so everything that is wrong he must have at some point seen. i have txt him. its all easy fixed apart from im now skint and cant aford to fix it. plus what else is wrong with it?? i have found all this from going to replace the cv boot!
Agreed. Like I said previously- someone may have carried the work out for him and tucked him up.
Main thing is that you've found the problem and can address it before anyone got hurt. Call him mate.
yeah thats also a factor. if someone else did the work. if he dosnt answer my txt by the time i go home ill call him. i know he works a lot and i dont have great signal at work.

Second hand complete driveshaft mate with boots etc.
seen that one mate thanks. also mike has one for 35. so just the calliper to sort now and think STEVO has one for me.
Sorry buti dred to think what else could kill me on this car
Best check every nut and bolt around the whole car is on tight just for piece of mind if any.
that's the plan now. i have spoken to the guy i brought it from and he has suggested i give the mot center a call so will be doing that first thing tomorrow.
also i have managed to source the new/used parts from a very kind member on hear who live not far away. and the guy who sold me the other drive shaft.
my plan now is to take everything back off the car that i did two days ago and also the pass side drive shaft/breaks and hub and clean and inspect it all and put it all back on. need to tap the hole in the bell housing and sort a cover for the fly wheel. and the stabilizer. while im there im going to try and fix the oil pressure switch leak. not sure how though.
with any luck (not that i have had any so far) she will be back on the road end of the week,
well what a busy few days. list of jobs i have done.
re-fitted both front drive shafts.
fitted new drop links.
changed gear box oil.
cleaned and painted both wishbones.
cleaned up both discs.
cleaned up and painted both hubs.
rebuilt both front brake calipers and made good ones. also cleaned and re greased them.
fitted fly wheel cover.
fixed engine stabilizer and re-fitted it.
investigated oil leak. and cleaned all the oil off.

does anyone have a picture/ or details of where these wires are meant to be attached to. im guessing the oil switch thats leaking?
and this is the bugger that's leaking.
also my trim turned up today from bob at CGB. they didnt have any in raider blue so had to have a normal blue one, and for a temp fix/hide i have carbon fibered it. i know i know. you dont have to say it.
Can of paint and lacquer and you'll be good to go................ otherwise i'm gonna peel off that carbon stuff
after the other jobs mate this was my only option lol it wont be on for long lol
