    Knock from Front End

    Over the past couple of days, I've noticed a knock which can be felt through the brake pedal just as the car comes to a halt. It doesn't do it all the time, and doesn't do it when slowing from speed, only when coming to a stop from a already slow speed. Can't figure which side either, but you...

    6 Month Oil Change

    Well, I'm not going to bother this time! Car has only just covered 2k miles since it was last done, and it's running Fusch TItan Race 5/40 Esther Fully Syn. Can't justify another £60 when it's only covered 2k, and that oil should be more than upto the job of going for 12 months.
