Runners need greasing on the window. Same with aeriel too. Wack some wd down that and it will be fine I'm sure. The more u use it the better it will get mind

See I knew I hid them away for a reason

Yeah it was all there. I have now solved by fitting aero wipers

Is it on this weekend ?

Good times.

Yep did just that. All done now

It's on my 156 GTA. It's not catching the A pillar and seems to come right from the end of the wiper. I'll check to see if the arm is loose. Both my GTA and JTD do it although the JTD not so bad after I fitted aero wipers and I run the wipers far slower on teh JTD. With teh GTA auto wipe I have no choice and it runs far too fast

After doing a search on another forum I have come up blank. When the wiper reaches the top of it's stroke and the wiper begins to return the drivers one makes a huge crack noise on the screen. It only seems to happen when the wipers are really on too fast. On the JTD I never run the wipers very fast unless it is raining very hard and so it doesn't do it but if the are run fast in lighter conditions they will make the cracking noise. The GTA has auto wipers and so does it's own speed and runs far to fast IMO but this means that it continually makes this cracking noise at the top of the wiper stroke. Can this be solved with new wipers or adjustment of anything as in the end for most of my hour journey I just flipped the wiper stalk when I needed it which became oh so tiresome and very annoying

at least you found it mate.

My GTA has been missing the little grill in the side skirt since I bought. I thought I was going to have to buy a new one until last night while I was out with a friend with another GTA. He said they often pop off and fall inside the hole. His mrs poked a torch in a hey presto. There it was rattling around inside. Just got to re-attach it now but as it's not gone missing yet a few more days until the weekend won't matter Bonus

I want to say the syncro is going as you say it's making it during changes but as it is making it constantly when loaded perhaps one of the bearings is failing and is causing slight play and meshing on the gears. Basically I don't know and am clutching at straws

I give up Maybe I'm stupid or something

Nice to see the guys on our side for once eh!

blah blah blah I sware you just look for my post so you can correct them. I did look at it for ages too but couldn't be arsed to google it to make sure it was right

Er tony. You already do. It's called a TV licence But on a serious note yes this is a massive faux pah. Give it a year and it will be back hopefully once they realise that no one is watching again. Either that or bernie will start planning his randome sprinklers on the track hing again!

I know what you mean mate. It's just with that transmission grumble and occassional twang and the fact that I will be using it on track I just don't want to smash it while using it hard as I'm sure a new box wouldn't be that cheap. Still nice to hear a different opinion for once I want to get the Q2 anyway as people say it is well worth it for the car but at least I'm a little less worried about it trying to eject before it gets done. One point I did notice about the grumble/ slight messing noise is that it is only really noticeable it 2,4,6 rather than 1,3,5.

It has come back It seems to be the connector in the side of the amp. Went away for a couple of days but now it's back.Last time I just wiggled the connector so I know it is that. I will pull apart and clean with some electrical cleaner. One question about the volume still. I haven't had a standard head unit in my other 156 for ages so I can't rememeber what is considered loud or not. In the GTA I have the volume at 50+ to hear it while driving which seems very high . What is considered a normal volume setting? You can't hear anything when volume is below 10.

but what about cars that have aftermarket ones. Will mine be included in retrospective as I fitted mine a year or two ago?

So after having the GTA for a week now and looking over variuos bits an pieces I am beginning to get nervous about the diff. I've heard a few funny noises coming from the car. sometimes while accelerating, sometime when crusing. Seems to sound like either a metalic twang or like the wheels have kicked somthing really hard into the plastic body kit. Admittedly the front rolbar bushes are goosed and it's having them poly bushed but could it just be this instead or am i right to worry at 108k

I'm at a wedding all weekend damn you motors TV

I watched it. Was awesome. When is the next one?

ah right. cool. well here's to next year

My 156 JTD passed it's MOT with the HID conversion It makes the right beam pattern so it passed

feedback solved and volume better.
