Wasn't that Cilla Black, the multi millionaire lass from Liverpool who stayed close to her roots in her million pound house in Uxbridge?
And no. Not even MF would go there.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Easy.Matthewfalle wrote:Right, car afficionados, here is one for you.
MF was getting the serious power down in his Honda Accord earlier (he thinks its 10 years old, 50,000 miles, always fully serviced) and its started making a rattling noise from what seems the back end.
Its not graunching or rubbing like its pads down to metal sort of thing, no funny stuff with handling, but intermittent rattling like you're shaking a tin can full of bits of metal, so he's guessing exhaust/catalyser. Came on suddenly.
Doesn't happen all the time, still revs through and sits on the limiter when he's getting serious power down, VTEC (no, not that VTEC) works fine.
He reckons that if it is the catalyser he'll live with it by just turning the stereo up when he's playing his banging tunes. or just get an aftermarket silencer and throw the broken exhaust and catalyser into next door's garden after smashing it with a hammer and setting fire to it with fire.
Waddya say?
Take it to a garage and get it sorted rarher rhan let a bunch of cyclists guess. Or sell the heap of crap to some sucker and buy something decent."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
V68 fell asleep on the couch, just got woken up by the lad getting home. Bowie still on the telly box. Panic in Detroit.0

I would empty the car and boot of all clutter to be sure. My wife has a habit of moving or putting things in the car that then produce various rattles and noises.0

Hmmmmm. Good point. I'll ask MF to go and check.
Could be a Shallow Grave/loft moment though....Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

On a serious note, if I have a rattle and given that my trolley jack limits what I can do, I take my car to my local ATS. They are excellent at isolating rattles.
Well done ,you have found an ATS that can do something other than fit tyres. I ran a repair garage. Our local ATS manager brought their Transit pick up to us to "sort the back brakes". When I asked why they were not doing the job he replied,"we only dable with brakes ,we can't do anything like this."0 -
Doesn’t surprise me at all, the number of garages we supply bits to that get the simplest things wrong.lesfirth wrote:Well done ,you have found an ATS that can do something other than fit tyres.

Over 100km done. Over 920m climbed. Over 2200 calories burnt. More importantly, that equates to 18 beers. Allegedly.Matthewfalle wrote:PBlakeney wrote:

Assuming that means small beers then 7 pints out of 9 pints have been done. Job jobbed as some would say. The above may be fact, or fiction, I may be serious, I may be jesting.

Phorget that. He got a mate to take it for a hack who came back shaking his head. He's then went off chasing some M Series Beemer in it with the Stereophonics playing too loud. I think he crushed his dog in the boot with his big med pack whilst performing a particularly special cornering manoeuvre.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Have you managed to fix it yet?Matthewfalle wrote:Phorget that. He got a mate to take it for a hack who came back shaking his head.
Does sound like it needs more than plugging a cable back in which fixed all the flashing lights on mine.0 -

mf is going to take it to thegarage tomorrow and see what they say - hopefully its something simple.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am

Surely given what car it is, surely the smash with hammer/set on fire/chuck into neighbours garden solution is the way to go? Then go buy a petrol AMG "I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0

The word petrol should be unnecessary there. Diesel Merc’s are German taxis and should have base spec cloth seats, steel wheels with a hub cap missing and not be the performance version.Stevo 666 wrote:petrol AMG

It's just a point I feel I need to make as there is someone on here who said they had an 'AMG' and it turned out to be a diesel 'AMG Line'Veronese68 wrote:

Diesel AMG= wrong. Just like BMW M series diesels = wrong. And Audi S series diesels = wrong.Stevo 666 wrote:

At least its not a diesel, they're obviously the devil's work - why else would the French drive so many of them?"I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -

Oh, and no C43, make it a C63s or you'll just regret it later."I spent most of my money on birds, booze and fast cars: the rest of it I just squandered." [George Best]0 -
MF is looking at a Giulia Quattrofoglio. I and I think its a very pretty car. Not much room for the Hound but the bambini can always run behind.
He would also lie a 159 estate if the Accord is dying. I and I think that is a prettier car.Postby team47b » Sun Jun 28, 2015 11:53 am
