ok then, good news ........ sort of, ive pinned down the cause of my terrible clonking whilst driving and thankfully its not something like the subframe ready to drop off (I always tend to fear the worst) what is happening is the left hand side bonnet pivot is loose on the bonnet causing it to move in the region of 10mm up and down, the right side is ok
now what ive noticed is this the pivot bolts is not tight up to the chassis, i.e. the washer behind the head spins, but the bolt is seized in the tube in the chassis so it wont turn (believe me ive tried) both nuts either side of the bonnet loop are loose causing the bonnet to jump about on the pivot, temporarily ive nipped up the 2 nuts that support the bonnet just enough to dampen its movement but not stop it rotating, Question should there be a bush to support the bonnet pivot within the molding on the bonnet or does the bonnet rely on being clamped by the 2x nuts and 2x washers to support it? if so am I right to assume I need to free off the bolt (thatll be fun, ive just yanked on it as hard as i can) so it rotates and the bolts need to be tightened on the bonnet? that looks about right to me but I want to get this sorted by the 2nd as ever all your help will be very much appreciated regards jin -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
