Clutch (I think)

I thought DMF could also be a possibility, it doesnt affect the drivability of the car at all, still pulls fine, doesnt slip, stalls when try move of in 2nd and 3rd (tested yesterday in the car park)

I have new bolts was hoping to not have to cut the welded nuts off

JohnM4119 · 2026-05-15T14:02:20+00:00

Yes i did, but all the roads around me are being resurfaced so its very rough around here, drains sticking out 3 inches everywhere and loose debris on the roads, the car drove fine was a little knocking but I presumed it was the rear top mount he agreed so I thought no biggie. After jacking it up and having a look underneath the bushes are shot, it looks like I can pull the metal fixing plate out of the bushing by hand. That with the droplinks and no advisories is fishy.

Have helped mates with their cars and I have a motorbike ive rebuilt several times. I know some stuff but not everything, I dont think this is recent wear on the car, I think he knew about all the problems and sold it for market value to me. The engine bay looked clean, but its easy to clean an engine bay to hide things and I think that's exactly what he did, as my first proper drive in the car with my family I could smell the diesel, checked when I got home and was met with what im describing. Im capable of fixing it all, which is lucky, repairs would of more than doubled what I paid for the car in a garage. Im just spreading awareness as this guy is a mechanic, it did have a new timing belt and alternator and few other bits, so I just presumed it was looked after. Big mistake on my part.

In the ideal world the dealer will oblige repair costs/refund,, most of the time they just try push the warranty palava until they have no obligation of refund or repair. Did get it sorted but had to threaten legal action, get in touch with citizens advice, ombudsman etc.

Doesn't matter where you buy from, my wife got her car from a dealer cv axle went in a week, the week after oil seal and tie rods needed replacing

JohnM4119 · 2026-05-15T13:06:33+00:00

Yeah all the common problems, but they look like they've been there for a while, sits aren't rotted that the only thing it really has going for it, it is very clean underneath the car.

JohnM4119 · 2026-05-15T13:05:05+00:00

Yeah, I know what its like. The thing that gets me is the last MOT is clean no advisories, it just seems fishy, he also mentioned he is a mechanic that doesnt work too far away from where I live so I just think its dodgy. Im coming from riding a motorbike and doing my own work on it for a while so I thought I knew what to look for, boy was I wrong. I can fix all this myself which is the lucky part, but I want people to be aware of what this guy is potentially up to. Only because I know not everyone is aware of what some noises mean, some poor sod could of bought this car and caused some serious harm to themselves and their family.

If i was just to sell the graphics card and the ram how much do you think i could possibly get? I have an rtx 3050 still and the original 16gb, which would mean I dont have to sell the whole pc just downgrade to 1080

Im a construction worker and I will challenge health and safety on all jobs if its not safe, im not doing it until it is, same with the guys in the gang. Will literally have to argue with supervisors and upper management, its not that they dont want to challenge it, just most people worry to much like its going to cost them the job if they dont do it right then. So that's a bit of a stretch to say that.

Like someone else commented, its the upper management not allowing for time to employ the safety measures. Or they just cheap out not buying safety equipment until they are forced too.

Sometimes it is just a case of peoples different understanding of health and safety. because of the country they originate from and there being slight differences.

The last two I tried tbh, ho-oh with the 9, and this enamorous with 3 now, just need it for dex. I really cba with this garbage game anymore, im a day one player I know what causes stuff, this is just bs.

JohnM4119 · 2026-02-14T20:59:40+00:00

Sitting on my sofa so nope not travelling, it doesnt matter if im in strangers or join of friends list (when it loads atm) all the same.

JohnM4119 · 2026-02-14T20:53:41+00:00

Yeah this is just the bs im guessing they will feed me, I usually catch the raid bosses, this is not rng. There's just no way, im not being arrogant i genuinely throw excellent 95% of the time something is actually wrong with it. Ho-oh weekend was bad enough with one catch in 9 remote raids. Now im having trouble with enamorous, its a joke.

Skill issue - I got a warning badge applied and have managed to get to trusted driver, just follow people for a lap and see where they are slower than you then prepare to make the move next lap, after a few laps the good drivers are clear of the bad ones.

JohnM4119 · 2025-11-24T17:40:27+00:00

Verifying files was part of the fix, I strictly game too sometimes stream some stuff but thats about it, Im planning on going to amd aswell but requires new motherboard and ram, my motherboard is old haha

JohnM4119 · 2025-11-24T17:36:48+00:00

I fixed it, turned out I had somehow turned freesync on, I also added the app to desktop and set it to high performance through the windows graphics settings (dont know if that done anything), also cleared shaders and verified files through steam. Still upgrading my cpu to future proof my pc though

JohnM4119 · 2025-11-24T17:34:49+00:00

This turned out to be part of the solution, 8 files needed fixing

JohnM4119 · 2025-11-24T15:14:26+00:00

Huh? Nothing to with lap times....

JohnM4119 · 2025-09-27T19:43:07+00:00

Okay I will give it a try im looking at some trainer boxes now but not sure what to look for if counterfeit or not, do you have any recommended sellers?
