Anyone know of a whizz with suspension, I have a vibration at about 40 mph which is very unsettling, its not a loose wheel the drive shafts are fine, there seems to be a small amount of movement in the nearside rear wheel, and I think its the front lateral bar lower bush (nearest the wheel) but I would like someone who knows more than me - which shouldn't be too difficult - to have a look?

cheers fellas

Is there a way of checking the power steering pump???
would it increase in noise the faster i went???
Does the slipping,humming and whinning noises point to the same problem or is the car about to break into song!!!!! ]]> Under The Bonnet. scooby999 http://www.sussexscoobies.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?10562-noises http://www.sussexscoobies.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?10537-Just-a-question-for-now&goto=newpost Thu, 22 Jul 2010 11:32:30 GMT Ok so recently my 97 type r's engine has started ticking/tapping.
This started when the hot weather kicked in so put it down to the car gettin hot as has a induction kit but am gettin a bit worried!
I know they suffer problems, but it's not loosing oil and the coolant is ok (not long ago had coolant & cambelt change and a service!).
What noise should i be looking out for if the bottom end is on the way out??
Dose anybody recormend a good specialist around the West Sussex/Surrey area, just for piece of mind.

Thanks Guys

Hello

When i start the car from cold it idles at around 1300rpm and then as the car warms up over about 4-5mins the idle starts to drop to 800rpm. Is this normal?

The idle isnt what id call an erratic idle as it doesnt jump all over the place it just slowly lowers over that time? I did an ecu check last night and it returned no errors.

The guy i bought the car from said he usual puts 95ron unleaded and it seemed ok on that but recently i put in bp ultimate so i dont know if that might have affected things? ]]> Under The Bonnet. Bearo http://www.sussexscoobies.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?10533-High-cold-idle
