as above clutch is squeaky when lifting off, tried sum grease but doesnt work, what will be causing it? a new spring or something help?

dorrs are leaking is about a 1mm gap round top of the door and the seal letting wind /rain in need a solution to this. seals are in good condition, do i just need my doors removed and then refitted/realigned?

when rolling out my garage and put my foot on the brakes then lift off immediately, i get a knocking noise? what could it be is it normall? i have 2l setup with braided hoses.


cheers for any help

MY brakes do this. Look around all the rubbers, they might need replacing. Idealy replace with poweflex bushes

already been replaced with powerflex bushes, have new ball joints track rod ends and bearings all fitted recently.

clutch got sprayed everywhere with grese worked for about a day, might try it again unless it is a common fault and need a new spring or sumthing

I had this problem with the squeeky clutch, you need to get ya head right under the floorplan and spray loads of WD40, especially around the spring and joints, that cured it for me.

The squeaky clutch is almost like a common standard feature on ANY vauxhall

Not too sure what to do for the water leak, maybe your door needs re-alinging off the door hindge maybe?

Have you had your wheels off recently?

If so make sure your wheel bolts are DEAD tight!!

My car did this, just wheels bolts.
