I would say its the roll restrictor as well. Its a really easy job to do. You'll probably find the bol has sheared off in the actually bar. remove it and take it to a decent garage and they should be able to get the bolt out for about a tenner. Order a new bolt from fraud, about 8 pounds, and a new bush.

 

Need any more help let me know.

i took the splash guard of and the bolt had come of the bar thing so i just screw it back in.what do you mean by bush all the rubber bits looked ok.i do have a problem with temp it does,nt get off the bottom of the white even after you let it idle for 15 mins or so it still only goes half way up the white.i,ve been told it could be thermastat is this easy to do and is it under the coil packs
