no shame!! you ought to see this!! Click!

count me in!

The clunks happen when I drive over uneven surfaces, its defiantly an inside cabin noise, as in its not something that I'm hearing from outside. I haven't really noticed if it's any different with people in the back, I'll bear it in mind the next time I have passengers. Did WIM mention anything about the tyres? a reason as to why it would happen? Thanks Aaron .. Anyone have any idea how much shocks cost to replace? buy/labour?

Haha Scorps Sorry mate, I'm going to go ahead an assume you're a Chelsea fan! I was born/lived in Manchester, hence why I'm a fan.... although since moving to London, I also keep an eye out for my 2 local teams, Fulham and Queens Park Rangers! But I'd still like you opinion! :)

Thanks Hando, I'll try the Fabreeze trick.... I did the kettle one last year, left it in for 15mins or so, boiled half the kettle, my kettle also died as it didnt like being tapped down for so long hehe.

So I went into Kwik-Fit today, just as I was passing by it and had a spare 10mins.... I went in to ask how much it would cost to balance a tyre.. £5.25, so I said, "ok, i'll get my rears balanced please!" He then said "what you experiencing?", so I told him how I've been feeling the car unstable at motorway speeds and how it kind of feels like its wiggling, but a very slow wiggle, not a vibration, but almost like something taps your tail only slightly, a minor correction of the steering wheel and your straight again. So he has a look around the car, and started to feel the tyres, when he noticed a flat spot on the rear driver side, "feel that..." he said.. and he was right, I felt a flat spot. I also felt uneven tyre wear, the outer worn slightly more then the inner. [not the typical front inner tyre wear problem, I got that fixed by Tony some time ago] We chatted some more, and half established that I may need new shocks on the rear, as this coupled with a new clunking noise in the cabin, just about justifies it. So I wanted to know from you guys, could this be caused by anything else? Will I need new tyres? Can I keep going as I am now? Other then shocks, what else can it be? How can a tyre develop a flat spot? I know in Formula 1, its due to locked tyres under braking :P but in a real world car? Any help would be great! Cheers chaps, Signing out, a puzzled Vyker

wow! one day..... one day!!

I like your car!

My aircon is starting to smell... although I only suffer from the smell once I've turned the AC off! Smells fine when I'm using it to keep me ice cool :) But as soon as I turn it off, boy oh boy... windows down 'n all! Any ideas anyone?

How do you get them?

what time did you get up this morning?! :o

Looking forward to this. I will be setting off from M4 J1, would like to join up with the south London convoy, but i wont be able to get up that early! :P See you all there!

Mike! you're saying your car is black?? How the...... doesn't make sense... it a silver car!

:o Congrats on the car! Although i really liked your GS :( Get some pics up :)

That does look the part, well done :) Thought about getting a Sport Grille fitted?

Rob..... Looks brilliant! a great looking white IS, I have one reservation though, that black mud guard!!!.... like so totally out of place omg! :P

Very impressive.... quality work again. Would be good to see a true final picture though, that final edited picture looks tampered with, blacks are too black. One question, on the 4th picture there is some kind of plug by the fog light, black circle thing, what is it?

I was the only one there at 9:48pm Just missed Stav, I joined, and he left 2secs later, musta been the garlic i had! Will try again on sunday :)

Wow... that must have been alot of research. Sounds like the results are going to be outstanding :) Good luck with it, and ill be here eagerly awaiting some photos.... im dying to do the same time to mine [not washed it months]

I'll be there, probably do both aswell! :P

My view on this is..... The world copies us, what we do, they do years later.... so we... ineffect.. are world trend setters.

That sucks! Make sure you read potholes.co.uk thoroughly and also try your luck at pepipoo. How fast were you going?

well, im starting to think if its going to be worth it.... will most likely cost me about £5.40 extra per tank, when I think about it that way.. thats barely loose change in your pocket, but when you add it up over the weeks and document it, suddenly you feel as though you have to save costs! strange how the mind works! :P Ill give it a bash anyway!

very weird.... i saw that artical yesterday and started an email fwd thingy spreading it..... makes you wonder how far the chain of fwd'ing has got to...

leave the doors open for a couple of hours, let it all air out.
