1. i\'ve got a squeek coming from the back right when i go over a bump with something in the boot and its only started happening since i took it to a garage (which i recently found out arnt very good) so i\'m guessing its the spring thats not sat inplace properly as i\'ve jacked up the car and had a look and it doenst look to be in place as good as the left hand spring is so does anyone know how easy/difficult it is to take off the shock to adjust the spring and what tools i\'d need to do the job as i\'ve only been driving 6 months so my automotive tool kits a little on the small side.
2. is it possible to move the temp sensor for the mfd so it takes a reading from the air just before it goes into the engine, i\'m guessing all that would be needed is to find the sensor, drill a hole in the pipe, stick in the sensor then milliput it in place to make a nice tight seal.
it\'d probably be totally pointless but it\'d be nice to be able to say to someone that you know how hot/cold the air is thats going into your engine.
and last but not least 3. i\'m planning on buying a 1.6 16v sport then spending around £1000 on the engine what would be the best things to get to put up the bhp and what would be the most bhp i could get out of the 1.6 without nitrous?
