Its just cars mate, we have all had the same. My EP3 has always sounded like a bag of spanners, i know K20s are meant to be a bit noisey but it was doing my head in. Anyway just serviced it, new oil, oil filter, plugs, mag sump plug and discs and pads and its like a new car and its now quiet! All that was about £400 quid though!

[NIKH25]

At least when you've done the majority of it (brakes, exhaust, shafts) you won't have to worry about it for ages.

Getting my pads and brake fluid from Opie with the offer!

Mine will want fresh oil soon too but not just yet.

[philgor]

to be honest, i really feel like selling up, it's got to the point where i'm questioning why do i seem to be flogging a dead horse. but to sell it i need to get it sorted. and i don't seem to have the time at the moment.

 

i think the plan is to see if i can use the workshop saturday, and hit the car hard, but i do need to look at where the exhaust is blowing. it seem to be the front, from the sound it seem's to be after the cat, as it's a smooth blow (constant humming).

 

so for a proper list

 

need to look at the exhaust.

 

front disk's and pads,

rear pad's.

o/s drive shaft.

oil and filter

 

for later,

compressor bracket

fuel filter

spark plugs

pollen filter

a/c belt

[Krzys]

A lot of it is wear and tear mate, not really a dead horse but if the driveshafts and bit of exhaust are original then it's done bloody well for the mileage and age! It just feels like a lot is going on, believe me I know how you feel!
