never use poison in the house!! you will get rid of live mice but will soon notice the smell of dead ones lol. trust me, me and my dad had to knock a hole in his conservatory wall to remove 3 dead rats . the smell was awful. also, surely if you catch a mice in a shoe box itd chew its way out...

yes clivvy, you told me so. il take a slap on the wrist and hang my head in shame to your superior knowledge:clap:clap:clap

just as an update my rod arrived but when i went to fit it i realised that to remove the old one im going to have to damage both tie rods, so iv now ordered two full kits so i know theyre good too. fingers crossed theyl be here soon as the juddering is getting realy bad now:( if anyone else has...

is cetain a measurement in diesel fuels like octane is in petrol? i know that bp and shell both do a "superdiesel" which has a higher cetain level than standard diesel. ( and costs about 12p/l more) so can you buy a cetain booster to add to veg oil? surely it would do the same as just adding a...

surely a letter detailing ALL conversations and photos sent to the insurance ombudsman is the next step. i would send a copy to your insurance company too just too see if they change their minds about sending it to a different repairer or to an independent assessor. this whole situation stinks...

iv noticed that my front bumper mounting is rotten and plan to replace/ build a new one out of the usual 40mm box and angle. iv also found a large hole in the passenger side footwell thatl need sorting too. Just wondered if any repair panels are available "off the shelf" or if not what thickness...

we use the old wooden traps, had them bloody years though. i find that chunky peanut butter works great. just tip the bodys in the wheelie bin else youl attract other vermin or worse.... CATS lol. once caught one poor little sod by his gonads, christ i felt for him. impressive little fella...

so swap the connectors over ( rear washer wires to the bottom) and try turning the rear on at the switch, if the front now work( using the switch for the reear) its a wiring/switch issue if they dont its the pump/ hoses.

the relaqy rod is listed as a seperate item and it attatches via a balljoint, the linkage feels ok so fingers crossed itl go. and i held onto the long rod and shook it, you could see the movement in the bushes on the nearside but the offside felt ok.

hi everyone, for the last couple of days iv had a bad juddering through the steering wheel, comes and goes at different speeds and road surfaces. well i finaly had a look underneath and both rubber balljoints on the nearside of the steering cross rod have a LOT of play in them so im going to...

aha mine has a rounded bumper that follows the contour of the spare wheel, hence less room. sorry for my faulty info:doh

the bolt has sheared off level so theres no way to put some grips on or put a chisel to it, i could try welding something to it to get leverage, iv done this before but there isnt enough room to get my hand in AND see, iv done it all by feel so far. so thats not realy an option either, iv had a...

hmmm not sure that would work as my lower hole is sound its the bolt thats knackered, this bracket works by holding the bolt in place but i have no bolt.:(

iv used the search function but cant find anything on it?? is it still on here?

ah i didnt realise you could do that, not had a good look at mine without the wheel on

id say no mate, just measured my cover at 29" and theres less than an inch clearence. it might go with a bit of rubbing though, are your 31s actualy a true 31" diameter? vince

yep, iv put a large repair washer on there too. i dont realy have any other option, i need the car every day and theres no way to repair it with the engine in.

and ready to go back on. unfortunately the lower bolt has sheared some time ago, theres just a rusty bulge where there should be a hole so fingers crossed itl hold with one bolt, it obviously has for a while so il just have to keep an eye on it.

this is it on the bench. after a bit of chemical metal, i need the car for the school run so cant wait to get it ally welded.
