Love this car and the work you've done to it  :cool:

For the next time you clean the bay, if you got a pressure washer get hold of some Autoglym Motorcycle  Cleaner (better than the engine cleaner apparently) - spray on and leave for 10 mins and blast off.  Then spray on Augotglym Vinyl and Trim Care and leave to dry over night :afro:

Well, that's the other wishbone on  :cool: this time it went much easier than before but still have left pieces of my flesh on the underside of the car  :sad:

The knocking has (so far) now stopped, the anti roll bar bush was completely fecked so that was replaced as well.

Popped on a pair of new numberplates as the old ones weren't displaying the BS number and they were looking a little bit tired.

Will be out and about in it tomorrow so I'll be able to tell if it has really stopped making the noise while driving.

Cheers Rob :afro:

Unfortunately it didn't stay that clean for long  :sad:. The rain made sure of that on the way to the show but the sun did make an appearance on the way there and stayed for the rest of the day  :cool:
