    While there's noise there it's not so bad, only when the nose starts to go again should you be worried :)

    I once nursed a joint in my passat for 9 months!

    its been whining away for the last 4mths of my ownership and god know how long before that.. Bought it from a hairdresser and she had never heard of CV joints before when I was asking about the noises..

    But she was hot so Ill forgive her;)

    atm Im 50/50 wait and see if we can get a Meath hillbilly convoy going :cool:

    If its a white one - seen that a few months ago.

    I was actually wondering how does a car like that - that was never sold here new - get approved to be a taxi :confused:.

    Not saying theres anything wrong with that Bluebird - but thought the crowd doing the approval tests over here - would only do cars that were actually sold new in Ireland.

    In fact - I was pleased to see it operating as a taxi - simply because it was an import :D something different for a change.

    Not the nicest looking car to be fair - I think the Tiida type styling at the front looked crap - and the rear privacy glass on the white car didn't help it at all I thought.

    I seen pictures of a Bluebird similar to it - on an online article - in a different colour - and it looked a lot nicer - so maybe colour was part of the problem on this one

    Ah Id love to head for a spin in Wicklow Mtns:D but my Civic needs a CV joint and engine mounts so I wouldnt be able to enjoy or trust driving it that far in its current state.:o

    I know the feeling.... Upper control arm bushing gone on the drivers side, front wheel bearing growling Away on the passenger side.
    I know it could do it no problem, but I wouldnt enjoy it :o

    It's the only place I definitively know how to get to.... despite all the drives I do out by the sally gap and roundwood, I never follow a map so I never know where I am!
