and passed with flying colours!

:thumb::cool:

Had full fluids service and carb tune - bloke said the filter I'm using (ramair) is actually allowing too much air in and I'd prob be better off sticking the old bin lid back on - which oddly I'd been thinking about doing recently - now its getting a tad cooler up here.

Runs really nice - handbrakes nice and tight (3 notches to fully on!)
The squeak on the clutch pedals even less than it used to be!

lol

Said it was the nicest cleanest car hed worked on in ages!

:cool:

I actually thought summut was wrong initially as there was no squeak at all - it felt wrong - like the car was spoiled!

then is slowly came back and now is a tiny frog...

car is complete again!

Ive never had a nova without that squeak ade, but my cav when i bought her did not, now after all the mods ive slowly done to her over the years, she has acquired the very same clutch squeak, how cool is that, she is pretending to be a nova lol

Kind of on-topic-ish but anyone want to give me a way of getting rid of the frog on my clutch pedal, mine is getting out of control lol

Shall do thanking you...although to be honest I SHOULD have tried that before. It's never really bothered me that much, but getting loud now, its competing with the stereo lol
