howdy...

the topmounts on my gf's 1.3 seem to have totally fallen to bits... she said there was a 'wheel of fortune-esque' noise coming from the front on her drive home from work and her dad says one of the struts is moving about all over the place... so topmounts it is.
after a bit of a search, i've been put right off gsf mounts (unless anyone can convince me they're ok), so can anyone point me in the direction of some decent mounts, and probably some wishbone bushes aswell (might aswell do them while i'm at it... the steering was a tad wondery last time i drove it) that i can get my hands on before the end of the week. and they've got to be cheap(ish) aswell. christ... i want it all don't i!  :wink:

once that's sorted, i've got to figure out why oil has started pissing out from the back of the gearbox end of the cylinder head. i put a new headgasket on last summer, and it was fine through the winter, but now it's throwing oil everywhere.

cheers...

If you're going with std bushes, just fit new wishbones with them included, otherwise you need a press to get them in!  If you're going with polys then it isn't so bad.  Get a pair of new balljoint kits (with new bolts included) while you're there :)

thanks for the reply rubjonny. unfortunatly, a bout of gastric flu (sooo messy  :sick: ) has had me stuck in bed most of the week, so the topmounts will have to wait.

cheers
