  1. I have been looking at these spoilers on AliExpress. Interested to see if anyone has fitted them and the quality and fitment of them? Here are the ones I am considering, I would either leave as carbon finish or buy the ones that needs painting and colour code. Link 1 Link 2 Link 3 Link 4 Thanks.
  2. Anyone got a saloon rear boot lip spoiler for sale? Thanks.
  3. Hi, I am after either a single part work Pirelli Powergy 225/40/18, or a matching pair of other brand tyres, same 225/40/18. Let me know what you have please, if anything. Thanks.
  4. £50. Wish I had gone to him first instead wasting hundreds on the whole suspension. Oh well, lesson learned.
  5. Absolutely agree, I've known Steve for years at this garage but never used him but always recommended him to others. If anyone needs some services in North Birmingham, give Steve a call at Fast Track, he is on about a 1.5 week lead time for bookings though.

  6. MAJOR UPDATE - PROBLEM FIXED I wanted to share a major update with you, I have had the problem fixed this morning. After all the crap I have been through, I took it to a garage this morning and it turns out the wishbone bolts weren't properly torqued, despite everything being torqued before. Literally the chap went round and torqued everything about 20 mins and took for a drive, came back and said its fixed. I didn't believe so went for a test drive, OH MY GOD, the car is totally silent now and it feels stiffer. I am chuffed to bits! Thank you to each and every one of you who has tried to help me resolve this issue. I have spent many a night reading about ways to resolve! Thank you.
  7. So its been in the garage again and nothing found. It only does it when there is loads on the car, as in it doesnt do it when its on the ramp or there is no weight on the wheels/suspension. BAFFLED !!
  8. Never seen that before, got to be a 3-door thing then.
  9. Strange, would've thought it would be the same concept. Back the the drawing board.......😩
  10. Cannot see anything.... Or am I looking in the wrong place?
  11. Interesting, I will go have a look shortly.
  12. Hi, the hinges and check straps I have lubed already. Which is this bar you mention to the sill? I have not seen this, do you have any images please?
  13. Genuinely stumped by this. So far the following have been replaced: - Wishbone - Strut - Drop link - Shocker - Top mount. On another forum I then found this bulletin, so I have now also silicone lubricant sprayed up the buses on both sides. I have literally grease or lube sprayed every bush in sight and still this problem persists. I am now at a point where I do not know what else to look for. Any further guidance would be appreciated. Thanks.
  14. Its a really strange noise and its doing my head in. I've had the shocker, top mount and drop link replaced, the noise is almost gone when taking off, however in reverse its still doing it when I initially start to reverse, especially when steering is turned. How easy are the lower suspension arms to replace?
  15. I wanted to change the wheels hence I needed to know if i needed to swap sensors over.
  16. So this is my recent acquisition. Will be replacing the wife's 2017 Astra-K. This is a 2017/67 1.5 TFSI. Looking forward to getting to know you all and this forum, hopefully for good stuff. Planning to have rear windows tinted, alloys changed, mudflaps added...all in due course. Thank you.

  17. OK, bear with me, been busy and updating this was back of the list.
  18. Are these genuine of the copy type ones.
  19. I want to see what they look like and which styles people have before I buy some for mine.
  20. Can you show me pictures of your mudflaps please? Thanks.
  21. I need to change one of my wheels, is the TPMS sensor in each wheel or are the sensors on the car? Thanks.
  22. Interested, thanks Steve. So do I just put them on during night and rain?
  23. Thank you Steve. Car is going into the garage Tuesday. I will mention this to him to check.
  24. I don't think so, what does this look like?
