Noticed a change in the 'teg since ive had it for this short time. When I first got it - everything felt really tight and the car drove and felt really nice on the road even over the sh*tty roads I've now exposed it to. When I first took it down the missus's house where they've recently laid 3 different sections of 3 red tarmac 'strips' to make you aware of your speed. Now they've only been recently laid and in my previous 197 F1 going over them was horrendous to the point where if there was a car infront you could see the light beam from my car bounce rapidly up and down.
When I first got the teg and went over said bumps, i braced myself for impact, arse cheeks clenched annnnnddd... it was like they were a 10th of the size. The car rode over 'em really really nice and seemed to absorb the difference in road surface sublimely!
Now cut to 2 weeks down the line and I went back to these bumps and they feel horrific! you could now see the bounce on the lights again like in my previous car and I swear I can also hear a slight rattling coming from the front end now![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
This a sign that perhaps a suspension spring has snapped or something?? (drop links? clutching at straws here, know nothing about cars) The car just doesn't feel as 'tight' anymore on the road, seems much more rattly and doesn't seem to be riding over the bumps in the roads well at all.
any clues before I take it to a garage?
