My exhaust decided to rust from the inside out, which was nice, leaving it on the floor. Replacement fitted and the mounts are sagging now, where is the best place for replacements? Are Renparts bits any good?
Had alot of time on the phone today with various companies. Some flat out refusing to put anything through their system and others being really helpful. I started off with my renewal from Admiral at 800+ which was more than I paid last year. As Admiral have been the cheapest for the last three...
Done a deal with another member on here for his Turini's just got a concern that the offset may be too high. Can anyone clarify for me please? They are 35et and 6.5j wide. Will these stick out? Baring in mind i am lowered on Cooksport springs. I've read that most members don't go past the 38et...
I have decided that i will replace the lower ball joints, arb bushes and try the top strut washer fix. So i just want to verify that these are the right parts that i need.
First the Lower Ball Joint for the wishbone 12mm size...
Just had these changed on the 172 but there is still a knocking when plodding over pot holes and bumps. It would seem its either the arb bushes or Tue lower ball joint on the wish bone to blame now. I'm going to get them both done so hopefully that will sort it. But my question is which lower...
It seems like the actual fixture inside the headlight itself, which holds the whole cluster has come loose. Had a search for a guide but i couldn't find anything, mainly to do with faulty adjusters etc. This is working as i can here it trying to correct itself. I think the actual problem is...

Are these the lights that will give me a similar colour to the xenons? I've tried to steal other peoples links to be sure but all of them have...
I was toddling along in slow moving traffic, applying the breaks to slow down. Then a clunking sound, similar to the sound of hitting a pot hole, occurs. Immediately, the serv and ESP light comes on. Well the triangle one with the swerving car on it?! The main answers I can find relate to the...
Basically, went to ktec and as soon as I pulled up they informed me that I needed the dephaser done. Got that done and while they did that they checked over the vehicle and noted that the cv gator was shagged, albeit recent so still greased. They said it should be fine to get through whole mot...
Right so the past few days has been my car be absolutely battered by non stop rain, it hasn't really moved except from two small trips to the gym. Anyway, coming out of the gym today and I put my bag on the passanger seat as it was lashing down. Noticed the mats a bit damp. So I lifted it up and...
Only noticed this as I went camping this weekend. The plastic pillar closest to the seat and up along the window on the door is loose. It looks like the clip at the top has been broken. Would I be able to replace the clip or would it be the would section?
Lowered on dark turbines 02 reg. Looks damn clean, saw it on my walk to the gym parked up in Westfield area before the pit path. I live about 2 minutes away if your local.
Not intending to do any track driving so i want a decent pair of pads to replace my current ones, the disks have plenty of life left so no need to a upgrade/replacement. What do people suggest? Don't really see the advantage of DS2500's for road use and on Europarts theres Pagids and Eichers...
In the service book there is a stamp and a note in the box saying cambelt done. Now the garage that did it was a unit place so it's closed down (this was done in 2010). It was done on 25k the car is currently on 37k. Is there anyway to check whether the pump and tensioners have been done? The...
Today i slapped a deposit down on a 172. Now i've been creeping on here for a while and the Type R forum too but i finally decided to dabble in a Clio for a few reasons:
Insurance cheaper, better MPG, Cruise Control, the seats are more comfy and the corning is just as fun.
A bit about the car...
