  19. i am child who's father was killed by drink driving my dad probably thought nothing of getting behind the wheel but it's been 20 years since he died and i can honestly say it still hurts (god i have tears!) i can't tollerate drink driving i hate it i can't see an excuse for it when you've had a few you probably don't think anything bad can happen but it can my dad over took another car and was hit head on by another car the car burst into flames and he died instanly luckly the other driver wasn't seriously hurt and the only fatality was my dad i know it wasn't my fault but i somehow in that child like way feel partly responsible for what happend as he was bring me a jacket because i'd went out without one am sure if he'd have known what the repecutions would have been he wouldn't have done it but he did and i and my family will live with it till the end of our days zero tollerance is the only way forward but sad to say i don't think it will stop some people from getting behind the wheel after drinking
  20. it has a subframe yeah and it's a manual if the clutch has been replaced it wasn't by me and i've owned it since last november but i've had the problem that long too am planning on stripping the whole front end down so i'll start with the shocker and the cv gator and see where that takes me i can't take the car off the road it's just not convient am really thinking of just taking it to a fraud dealer and seeing what they say it's the bloody cost though it's christmas and am skint!

  24. Hello everyone I need help with my beloved puma :wub: The problem i have is the n/s wheel is rubbing off the inner arch when the steering wheel is turned full lock to the right it only does it on the n/s and only when the wheel it turned to the right I've had many people look at it and no one seems to be able to pin point an exact cause of why it does it they've said it was the drop link it was replaced and it still did it then the wishbone and it still does it the springs been replaced in the last year too and there is no sign of damage to it Now the tracking is out slightly on the car but only very slightly took it to have it done a couple of days ago and they told me there was no point doing it till i had this problem sorted out am told i need a new shocker which shall be in place tomorrow but am not convinced a worn shocker is causing this problem so am open to suggestions as to what could be causing this please someone help me am at the end of my tether with this! oh p.s the wheel has caused so much damage to the wheel arch it's wearing a hole in my air con pipe!
