I’d put my first bit of money on front cv related, due to the noise on turning, if your symptoms are correct. Check the rubber boots for splits,,or play in the shafts. Take you 20 minutes and zero money to confirm/rule out, then go from there.

I always wanted to do something similar - just never got round to it!

‘Tis one of the improvements on the F2… a smaller (and real metal) undertray that just bolts on to the car. Why they needed all that metal framework just to hold some plastic on the F1, I’ll never know!

Better?

Sold gave my FL1 to daughter. She had better look after it !

They are different sizes… 2 at the rear are smaller than the rest for sure. 10mm I think. 4 in the ‘centre’ (2 each side) - this is item “2” in your parts picture. M10 x 25. Then 2 up front are bigger I believe.

Oh, oh, please sir… can we issue section 59’s to EVERY MUPPET TWUNT who sits hogging lane 2 or 3 or 4? And every Prius. (See above)

Yes - I’ll get you a picture this afternoon of mine

Well 8kg of washing, when wet, will be heavier than 9kgs! Did you not go to school? 😂

Had the in-line mod in my TD4 for 2 years or so now - no problems at all. (And nice and warm in winter). FBH works fine still 😁 Free tip - silicone grease is your only friend with this one!

Your FL will love you even more.

We had a ride to Lundun last night. Picked up take-away Mexican (or ‘Meh-he-kan’) boxes from Zambrero in Eastcheap. Very. Tasty. Indeed.

Subframe?

😂 I noticed the same last weekend. Need to get a new set.
