Re: Rattling from front of engine

id second the waterpump mate, usually the impellor breaking down and rattling about, will get worse the more you drive, does it overheat or has it overheated since the rattle started sounding? if so it could be the waterpump.

Tried the search button but could not find alot on this. Just wanted to know are there any differences between front wings across the range of bodystyles i.e would a wing of a tourer fit a 2 door?

Re: Fitting HID's

i suggest using the loom and connecting it like in the pic no need to cut any wires out, its all pretty much "plug and play" and then do as brianmoore has suggested and unplug the two connectors on the LH inner wing to bypass the check system. Which is something i might do as my check light stays on.
