    Think they left hand thread (ie opposite to normal). I too have bought one off ebay (yet to fit) from BandB 'tierod69'. Seems good quality. I bought a spare off ebay which has a damaged pulley!, new bearing + grease - there is a 'how to' in the engine section on here,,,, If your actual pulley can be transfered, then feel happy to make me an offer, but bear in mind the price of stamps these days!

    Hi, returned to the car today (after lots of heavy rain), pulled out the seatbelt - and it was sodden. Looked up, rooflining was the same all along drivers side....... but worse towards back of car, back from sunroof. I do have a sunroof, but NEVER had any issues before, even when numpty at the car wash tried to jet wash mould off the seal! Question is where are the s/r draining channels so can check they not blocked and why only along drivers side?? Do the rubber roof channels (on the exterior) have draining channels? as the interior wetness seemed to be in line with that too! Gotta try and

    As above the rear suspension sort of squeak/creaks all the time. Tried when staionary - with hand brake off - and sitting on the boot lip bouncing up and down creates the noise, Wot could it be - just had new coilies all round........ ta

    Think they will fit, but how will you get in the back? Think that 5 door front seats don't flip forward!

    After much investigation I have discovered that my ongoing brake issue (grabbing, grinding, clicking) is due to the metal retaining clip being either *ucked or out of shape.... after fidling around for an hour, brakes were spot on with mo noise or chaffing etc etc... then problems returned. However this time I only manipulated the metal retaining clip thru the wheel without touching anything else.... Question is can thes be bought seperately (if so where and how much)??? or is it a new caliper job??? ta
