Time to introduce my 2nd 2 aka Banana

[Topdownman]

Would it be a PO135?

Good luck with the squeak!

[Joesson]

EML would be the top nearside O2 sensor, whatever code that is.

Give that man some dinner.. we have a winner!

EML hasn't come back on yet. I will get on and order one though. Always had the proper ones.

Squeak is proving more tricky though. The garage initially took her out and couldn't hear it. They still checked all the suspension bushes with a long rod. Then someone else took her out heard the noise, but couldn't pinpoint it. A third person (in helping me to bring her home) could easily hear it, but couldn't say where it was coming from. other than he felt it was body related rather than suspension related. 
In either case, the suspension has been looked at again and deemed safe. So that was my main worry.
Squeaky lives on for another day!

Finally remembered to order my new O2 sensor!!
Hopefully it will be here by the weekend.

Rear tyres were an advisory on the MOT. The slide I had yesterday on a roundabout, was reminder enough that it needed doing immediately.

£75 a corner isn't too expensive.
On the nearside they discovered that another dinged wheel.
Which means another trip to Wheels UK for a repair. After splurging on the tyres, the refurb will have to wait this time.

Fitted and currently error free

[StuC]

Fitted my kick panels today.

On Thursday this coming week, Banana is going to Rogue for a service.
They also diagnosed the weird noise that appeared just before Ding Day.
@tomaky called it, it is brake related. It looks like my NS passenger upper brake shim is partially broken. It is tizzing with road surface inputs.
Rogue diagnosed it when I dropped in to book the service. Top chap Matt!

[tomaky]

Good to hear its being sorted. Although my diagnosis wasn't 100% 😂

[tomaky]

If at any point it was Hb adjustment it might have corrected as it wears. Either way happy result 😊

Agreed, except in this case it as the NS Front.

[tomaky]

Wahey. Still thick the wheels were abit warm.

Heard from Rogue this morning.

Banana has a hole in her rusty sump.

[StuC]

Banana is back from Rogue.

Oil and filter change done.
Spark plugs changed.
'O' ring on tensioner replaced.
The tinny rattle was a broken front brake shim, which they replaced. The OE parts were £40!
Sump has been replaced and is 100% less hole-y
Aux belt has been changed.

Tensioner arm for the belt was not moving freely, so that has been changed out for a secondhand part temporarily.

I imagine she drives better now

[StuC]

I imagine she drives better now

Ummm not really noticed a difference tbh.
She has developed a squeaky front brake. I may be too distracted by that noise to notice anything else! Lol.

Glad to hear that you're problems have been resolved.  Also good to hear Rogue have delivered the goods - I agree Matt is a top notch bloke 😉

Banana is going for her MOT tomorrow after receiving some much needed love from MattPerformance.

Hoping to be razzing around on the weekend. I have really missed driving her. She has been out of action for the best part of a year now. Due to a combination of ill  health and being out of work.

[s12vea]

Just in time for the better weather

[puma2]

  has it passed yet  
i hate the wait when you hand the keys over and see it go onto the work shop then wait...............

Is that the MattPerformance of old back in business?
Sorry to hear that news Stu, I thought that you had started a new job, but was unaware that you had not been well. But I am aware that being out of a job and being unwell can go together..
