in all seriousness can someone help me out got a problem with my car cant seem to find the right cause...got the wheels alligned/balanced, lifted the car up to check tie rod and seeing if anything has been leaking or greasy bit. looking at the mounts it seems fine to me doesnt seem to be broken, driving off 1st from the lights and ive tried it alot recently to see if it was my clutch or what not theres a squeaking noise when im moving the steering wheel slightly side to side gently. driving to castle hill yesterday and back going on cumb hwy problems got worse squeaks got louder and heavy vibrations in the steering wheel. is it possible the gruppe m is rubbing against the hood? not sure..

If ur getting squeak noises while turning the steering wheel side to side it could b ur steering rack. Does it sound asif its coming from behind ur steering wheel ?

yeap sounds like it may b ur steering rack. Common problem on ep3 steering racks and can b fixed with abit of lubrication

took mine to hannys and they fixed it up for me. You can do it urself by pulling back the rubber boot on ur steering rack and getting some lube in there. People on this forum have done it and people in uk have done it aswell.

Is it hard to replace the ignition barrel? I think it is the problem, or my aftermarket immobiliser

Hmmm nice, but to me something just doesnt look right from the front...... ? Only have mine to go by, which I have spent alot of time with since getting it

Cant quite put my finger on it......

Anyone else ?

Take it for a run with someone mechanically minded is my advice

Ummmm....

No number plates?

No foggies?

Looks like a PFL EP3 to me!

something bad or just missing plates and foglights, like what Nepolian said?
