Went for my first spin after my newly completed intercooler installation and addition of a 150mm crank overlay. Came back buzzing!   |

Took the missus one for an MOT. It failed on a few things, lucky I'm a pikey and never throw anything away so I had a spare coil spring, which had snapped. Can't believe I didn't spot it when I gave the car a once over at the weekend. D'oh. Easy job though and having a mate with airtools and access to a private car club at weekends does make working on these old cars a dream.

So in my lunch break I tightened a loose front headlight that was rattling around whilst driving, changed all the main front bulbs and changed the side lights. Not bad for someone with no mechanical skills!... yet. |

Fitted some Xenon dipped beam bulbs for my Mk3 NC. Unfortunately when I ordered the main beam I didn't realise they were for a 3.5 and it's different fitting. Anyone recommend a Xenon bulb for the mk3? MX5Parts don't seem to do one?

Drove it for the first time in a while, tried to find the source of the knocking noise, to no avail.

Someone kindly left me a massive car park mark. Really wide area but not a very deep mark. I was hopeful that the worst would T-cut out It mostly T-cut out in 15 mins ... happy Will get the rest another time |

where's the noise generally from or when does it occur? I found mine knocking a little while ago; turned out it was the exhaust banging against the diff

Posted about it here: mighty5s.com/thread/1734/knocking-noise-braking?page=1&scrollTo=20620Happens coming on/off brakes, sounds like it's coming from the front of the car. |

Ah, my guess would've been brake pads moving about or droplinks... |

Clean the brakes out all round. Probably as rich says just pads moving about
