Thanks and I hope so, the car was hit 8 weeks ago now and I'm really missing driving it, just seems like were going through the wars at the moment!!

Hi all Is anyone available to help me by fitting my front banana arm polybushes and fitting rubber seats to the front springs please? I would do this myself but I had a hernia operation yesterday so on light duties for 6 weeks and just got off the phone to the bodyshop thats doing my insurance claim work and they need the bushes done before they can do a 4 wheel alignment and rectify the paint work they messed up. I am able to make hot drinks I have tools available for the job just not fit enough to do it anytime soon.

I got my ss111 june last yr off adygt, I also had a ss1 for roughly 3 yrs previous to this one. The current ss111 The old ss1

Checked it over fri evening and the drivers front caliper bolt was leaking slightly, nipped it up a little and topped up the fluid, checked again sat afternoon after driving all the way to Hereford and it seems fine now, thanks all

Yes new discs pads and lines all round so will check for leaks and fluid level cheers all

Hi all What does the (I) symbol next to the high beam mean? I had it flash up for a few seconds and then go off again. I thought it was for the handbrake

So whats this problem then as I have a set of stainless hoses ready to fit?

I agree, I had the back of the hubs soaking in wd40 for a week and it didnt help one bit apart from preventing the rain water from getting on it like it was designed for!! I have found wd40 is good for cleaning road salt off wheels, you just have to be careful not to get it on the discs

To be honest I think its just wear and tear since I brought it off you, I could have just done the single bar that had gone but managed to convince the old man to get me the full poly bushes for the rear instead!! Im definitely trying to keep it in good condition as ive already fitted poly bush engine mounts front and rear, momo wheel and still have more bits to swap over when time allows!! Ive just got all the trailing arms back from the garage £27 to have all the bushes heated and pressed out using a 20 ton press as these had also seized in, all the parts are now painted in a anti rust prima ready to be painted in gloss black vht paint and then put back together.

The passenger side adjustable arm had gone, I could twist the whole bar by hand!! I noticed the drivers side had been swapped as the adjustable arm was slightly different and most of the bolts came undone easily, I thought as it needs doing id replace the whole lot with a poly bush kit and has taken me since new yr to get this far and the hub bolts are now free I just have to cut one of the nuts off which got mashed up in the process!! The front passenger banana arm also needs doing which ive not got around to doing yet and again got the front poly bushes for that as well!!

Well I've had a few goes at heating them up then soaking the bolt in cold water and lots of penetrating oil, I've managed to get one of the bolts to turn using a breaker bar but only a few little cracks where it has freed slightly, I now have them soaking in the last of the penetrating oil so may have to move on to the brake fluid next!! Im definitely going to have to invest in one of those impact wrenches though. Cheers all.

I've already got the nut and adjustable trailing arms off its just the bolt I'm struggling with, I'm sure a vise would also help as I've tried breaker bars as well but I don't seem to have the strength to stand on the hub to keep it in place on the floor whilst trying to turn the bolt!! Although a scaffold pole does sound like a good idea if I bolt it back on to the shock

Hi all I am in the process of fitting polybush's to the rear of my ss111, now after a few weeks I have managed to get all the bits off the car and stripped down, now my rear hubs have the bolts seized that hold the trailing arms on and I really need to get these off as toyota want £406 +vat for new hubs. I have tried heating up the hubs with a blow tourch and then hammering the bolts but all this has done is mashed up the end of the bolt and nut, I currently have wd40 filled on the inside which im sure wont work as its not a penetrating oil!! Does anyone have any other ideas? Bigb said to work grease in to it but that will be hard when the bolt doesnt turn!!

Bit of a result for you then as well!!

The damage on this one is nothing compared to my OEM bumper which its replacing!!

Cheers again for picking it up I just can't wait for it to get here so I can get it sorted and on the car!!

I normally get the look of envy from other dads when I park up in the parent and child spaces at my local tescos, it starts out with the stare of how dare you park there followed by, oh he has got a kid in there!!

Just brought the car off a fellow member last week who had done a lot of work to the car so planning to give it an oil change at some point for piece of mind plus i was reading through the knowledge base last night and came across the artical and never heard it done before so wondered if there was any advantage to it like it works better than other methods!! I always use engine flush as I hardly use my car and bike which is recommend as it prevents the oil clogging up and damaging the engine.

OK I was just wondering if there was any advantage to using the diesel, I normally use the Wynn's flush and a 50mile trip to help it work on both the car and sport bike.

Hi All I have just been reading on the wikki about flushing the engine using diesel, has or does anyone do this and how good is it compared to using a bottle of Wynn's engine flush, is there anything to be carefull of when doing this?

they would have to catch a biker with a noisy exhaust first, I know I wouldn't bother stopping as my full race system says not for road use!!!
