    Strange noise

    l went for a drive last night and the noise was the worst its been, l had a look round underneath this morning and got a screwdriver in uj's, no movement, l hit a few things here and there with the hammer, went out to do a bit of running about and it hasn't made the noise all day :confused:

    Radio/stereo fitting

    l don't know might be of use to someone, l was fitting my radio pod the other day and didn't want to take the dash apart, so l used these plaster board fixings to screw into the vents, its held it place ok and took 2 mins to do.
