Hi there my learned friends, about a month ago I became the proud owner of a 1997 I think! 2.4 petrol sxg and I love it! Obviously she (margot) is in need of a little tlc but on the whole she is solid. Apart from the new water pump that needed fitting !

The reason I am writing on here is for a little help on the following items and hopefully someone can help. Here goes:
1: there is a knocking noise coming from the suspension, should I be too worried? Or are we just talking new front shock absorber top mounts

2: any idea of the speaker sizes (to save taking the panels off twice!)

And finally any advise on getting the vinyl "classic" stickers off the side they seem to be welded on!
Thank you in advance

Wayne

Hiya cant help with first 2 problems but when I worked as a valeter we used to use a heat gun to warm the stickers and then a plastic scraper to remove them. If it leaves any glue on the paintwork just use tar and glue remover. You just have to remember that the sun has faded the rest paintwork so it will be a slightly different colour under the sticker but a good t-cut should sort that.

Hope this helps

The search facility has all the answers, try the drop links first for the knocking. 6x9 fit perfect.
