Hi Guys im having trouble with my gears, ive managed to adjust them so it is slightly better via the selector in the car but is still not right. Im having bother with first im having to push the lever against the gate before i can push it forward into first. Is there anything i can do to make it better it is starting to do my head in now. Please help *-)

I have'nt, on first discovering the problem i grabbed some kitchen cleaner just something soapy in a bottle and without the car jacked up i sprayed some in there so as to cover the spring and spacer so the spring could slip without knocking, this worked once the soap had worked onto the spacer. but to be ohnest did not last long obviously once the soap had dried out. May try a little coating of grease when i can be bothered to do it lol. I dont notice it half the time. Andy

Hi Chris is the car lowered on coil overs by any chance. I have the same problem with my steering. Coil overs are made up of 2 springs with a spacer/ring inbetween the 2, i had my wife work the steering while i had a look and noticed that the 2 springs were not turning together when the steering was worked lock to lock, what was happening was 1 spring was slipping on the spacer creating the clunk/knock. Hope this helps if your running coil overs. Andy

Cheers Guys. Ollie will you be going down to Dover to join the convoy, if so it would be good if we could meet up and head down together. My brother will be coming with me and im trying to get a couple of lads to go from work. Looking forward to it. Cheers Andy

Hi guys im new to the site and dont know anyone :-( lol. Is anyone going from the north east. I am definately up for this. I've been told a ferry trip to Amsterdam and then an hours drive to the ring does this sound rite. Andy

Jet washed my engine bay and the wax was lifting off in big chunks

Yeh it goes all the way down just in steps, and does the same from both switches. So guess that leaves the motor then. Cheers Tom Andy

Cheers Tom i will have a look at the cables, as for noise ect there is'nt any, nice and smooth as it should be except the bloody thing only moves a couple of inchs at a time. When you say regulator is that the actual motor?. Cheers Andy

Hello guys, please help:'(

Hi guys as in the title my highline passenger window when you open it or close it will only do so a couple of inchs at a time, it is the same whether you use the switch drivers or passenger. When using the key in the door the window will move up 2 inchs and stop car then locked. Any ideas. *-) Cheers Andy.

Hi i would personaly avoid the engine flush as any build up of rubbish anyway in the system can be dislodged and could block the smaller oilways, try new oil and filter. Andy
