    Hi, I'm wanting to make this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/patrickkeane/187664910/in/set-72157594196203448/ I'm assuming that the nipple pipes have something to do with plumbing but I have no idea what they are, where would I buy something like that as I've had a look on B&Q...

    Squeaking coming from the rear

    Ooops no not now sorry, It is actually coming from the front now, I put my car in for an MOT the other week and for some reason the squeaking from the rear has never happened since I picked it up and now I can only hear it from the front nearside wheel. There is no noise when bouncing the car...

    Squeaking coming from the rear

    The wheel bearings are fine I think as there's plenty give in the wheel but the sqeeking is still there when turning, could it be a worn track rod end or something? It only comes from the front left wheel

    Squeaking coming from the rear

    I cant hear anything when I bounce it, I thought (I have very little knowledge of cars) that it might have been the bearings. When you say it could be the anti roll bar bushes on the front, would this cause the noise to come from the rear as this is where the noise is coming from?

    How do I gain the qualifications?

    After reading the other thread it seems that the C&G 2330 is the qualification to take. How will this stand me when I come to the end of the course for getting a job, i.e. will other electricians take on people purely with this qualification or would I need to do something further? As I...

    Right, I managed to get some cardboard under the engine for a few hours after running it and there is a leak as I found a few drops of oil on it. Its not many but theres a few. When I check my dip stick its still quite full so the leak is not causing massive oil loss. I'm just wondering...

    oil leaking

    I have a 2000 reg Astra, the oil was low on it the other day so I topped it up, it is about 1/2cm above the max on the dip stick. Now I've started to notice that there is some oil leaking under the car. Is this possibly my doing for filling it too much? Also on a completely different...
