About two weeks ago I had a kangaroo jump out and headbutt the front right hand side of my car. Completely destroying my headlight, denting my bonnet and door and caving in my whole guard. I drove the car home and it didn't seem to be affected mechanically. After getting a replacement headlight and guard the cars now not running as it should. When accelerating and braking I can feel a slight rubbing or grinding through the pedals and the car feels like it's lost a bit of power. Also the sound that my cars putting out isn't as smooth or as deep as it was before the impact. I haven't had a good chance to have a closer look under the car but will later on today. What could it be?
My rotors are definitely due to be either replaced or machined could this be the reason for the grinding feeling? Any suggestions would be helpful.

Opinions on aftermarket radiators?
23 December 2014 - 02:25 PM
Due to blowing out my radiator the other day now realising the new one is already on the way out (due to me going overboard on the hose clamps) I was just wondering what are everyones thoughts on aftermarket aluminium radiators? Any specifically to steer clear of? Or any suggested brands to look at?
Cheers

Need help before I torch my car

Over the last couple of months there's been a strange sound coming from the rear of my car, it's only present when going over bumps. It sounds like the boot has been left open and it's banging shut over bumps. At first I thought it may have been the rear seats but after securing them stupidly tight the sound has continued, I've literally removed everything from my boot including the spare wheel and the sound hasn't gone away. Also this may or may not be related but my boot sometimes doesn't shut on the first try and I have to close it again before it will properly shut.
Any help is appreciated!

Need help. 'STOP' fuse keeps blowing
10 November 2014 - 08:37 PM
So yesterday someone brought to my attention that my brake lights weren't working, I had assumed it would of been the fuse after having a look I was correct.
I replaced the fuse and as soon as I touched the brake pedal it blew again. As I have the Legacy garnish I've got the rear Foglights also running as brake lights. I've gone over the wiring quickly and replaced everything to cover any possible exposed wires. The fuse still keeps blowing.
Any ideas?
