dnt they just unskrew using an allen key???

No mate thought that myself at 1st think it has to be wacked out with a hammer its just getting at it pain in the rear end.

They knock out, dose it with WD40 and jack the door alittle to take the weight off the pin - You'll need a hammer and a thin-ish punch

does the head accept an allen key though?? ( cant see them just being pushed in. Does the pin turn???, have you tryed a pair of mole grip???

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRR Head fell of the pin now its stuck in the door and i carnt get it.

Going to take it to a body shop see if they will do it STUPID THING.

With me making plans for the 4i think i am going to leave the si as it is just tidy it up alittle and put my ice in it maybe get some different wheels.

GUTTED cleaned the car inside and out on sat. Took me old bird (mum) to pick a puppy u in wales dog chucks up in the car (no not my mother the other dog ) and i get stuck behind a tractor and the about 5 trucks in the snow and now look at my car.



Then tonight (weds) got pulled by the plod cos he thought the car looked a little od (his words) checky git thought it had no tax or mot cos it looked dirty how gutting.

Nevermind will be clean come march 26th.

Cars has been sold to a fella in scotland but i have agreed to mot it and it goes in today .

3pm is the time bet i come out crying.

I must admit i will be sad to see it go as i like it. Only put it on ebay to test the water and put a £900 buy it now with 12months mot and my ice and shocker it sold (well thats if all goes smoothly).

I am now on the hunt for a 200 sx (s13) not copying stu mac but i like these cars and they are rearwheel drive were i am home.

I guess you have come out crying mate.

Lots of little jobs that will mount up.
If you can drive it around to our sponsors,
Spray force, duttons, for a quote.

Or call them, at least you will be able to
sit in your chair when they say how much.

If you dont have the time or the money,
looks like the sale will fall through.

Gutted for yu.

1. power steering inoperative (maybe down to the lack of fluid? and dead pump)

2. power steering pipe (s) or hose (s) leaking (easily replaced from scrapyard donor)

3. Nearside rear anti-roll bar attachment bracket/mounting cracked (as above)

4. Offside rear anti-roll bar attachment bracket/mounting cracked (as above)

8. Steering column movement between the shaft and steering wheel(tighten up or replace?)

GUTTED THE FELLA HAS PULLED OUT OF THE DEAL AND TO BE HONEST CARNT SAY I BLAME HIM

KEEP YOUR EYES OUT FOR A BURNING SI

I have just payed for my hols and hols spending money so i havnt got the cash to get it sorted.

hope it all goes through ok mate, that cars had so many owners in the last year or so lol

STUCK NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE CAR?

ANY IDEAS

Unless your prepared to take the time and spend the money, not too much.

Or re list it and sell with out the MOT
See how much it goes for then.

Store it, and do the work later on in the year.
