Grande Punto Casper

Yep, dude mine used to do that and the top mounts were shagged easy job to replace, I got mine from Chris @ Souls.

Reu do u think mines the drop links or the bars deffo think its one of them

either a drop link is knackered or somethings catching underneath by the wish bones I would say, when me and James went for a drive we only heard it once when we drove out the car park. something is defiantly loose/broke/damaged for it to be banging when driving though. can you feel the bang in the steering wheel?

right okay. well just been round a roundabout with window down and it did a few times whilst turning.

IF it is the top mounts, how long can it go on without replacement?

I know i know the best thing to do is replace asap, but if it is not urgent and can wait until next month, i could do with leaving it.

Mine knocked for a good 3 months before i replaced mine but there only 35 quid to replace when i done mine.

Reu - I cannit feel a shake as of yet, its definatly next weekends job to have a look

I recon it could be something just damaged or loose then

top mounts were £25 + vat where i got them from

right okay, problem is i may have to get timing belt replaced so anything else can wait hopefully.

thank you

timing belt is allot more important

Gahhhhh shes still clunking its doing my utter bounce in!

Anyone know anyone thats got a Ramp in the Lancashire or North East area

 

[tempz]

Ok so it's been touch and go over the last week or so as to if I was going to keep her, went through an out of love phase with her defiantly! Clunking being the main reason.

Anyways moving forward, dropped her off in Wakefield for a weekend with ex FF'er B3NNETT, on the agenda find and fix her clunk and carry out the 74k service.

Clunk was found to be new drop links needed, so off to ECP he trundled for those on Saturday and carried out the service for me, txt yesterday to say she was ready to pick up on my way back for being down south.

My god I love her again!

She's still on her ass, moves with ease and tisch, and more importantly has me in love with her, my Casper ain't going nowhere!

 

[Reuuk]

[tempz]

jodie, I know I should probably know where these are after they've been clunking for weeks now, but could you tell me where I can find the drop links?

im still trying to put off having them done for now but it does get annoying....IF it is them that are making the noise.

Top to the bottom of the strut to the anti roll bar.

There cheaply to do mine were £33 quid from ECP for both sides.

Well she's clean now bring on tommorrow

thanks jodie, appreciate it

Not ex FF'er just estranged lol.

Just to clarify the coilies didn't make the droplinks go, whoever fitted the coilovers just didn't tighten the nuts up, so everytime it went over a bump they slopped about.

Can't blame them wanting to kill it though, it is the most awkward car i've worked on to date, and that includes the alfa thats in pieces on my drive

Mot passed!

Great News Jodie!

Great News Jodie!

Why thank you heart was in the mouth the entire hour she was being tested!!!!

 

[ChrisUK]

Pfft it's still a relatively new car. If it fails it will be a technicality / something minor.

When you've got a 15yr old Fiat Coupe 20VT that's when you worry at MOT time .

 

[tempz]

I dunno like her mileage is certainly racking up

 

[ChrisUK]

Doesn't mean anything on a modern car. Saw one for sale when I was car hunting other day (1.9 Sporting) with 175,000 miles on it. Drove fine except for the brakes (due a change by the looks of them).
