brilliant, mines not in too bad a condition so that dye may just spruce it up a bit, thanks :)

Did you make the carpet sound deadening yourself or is this available somewhere? looks great!

just to close this off, took a second look at this and it turns out the end of one ht lead was cracked and another had decided to leave its rubber end (oo-er) around the spark plug so it probably didnt provide a proper seal. Just changed the coilpack and leads (they are combined) and it seems to...

so we're thinking injectors or leads/coilpack then?

leads are all on in the right order (they're numbered), nothing is trapped as far as i can see? could a dodgy seal on the inlet manifold cause this?

I need help with my 1.2, i recently replaced the rocket cover gasket as it was leaking oil over the exhaust and generally stinking up the place. Whilst i had it apart i also cleaned the throttle body and removed the pool of oil that collects in the inlet manifold on these d4f engines. after ive...

I think on mine if you turn in to auto then off twice quickly it beeps and activates/deactivates them? infact its a mk3, i have no idea sorry haha

It's possible to do the 1.2 clutch without dropping the subframe, by supporting the engine and moving it as far over as possible and then moving the gearbox the other way, then using "clutch alignment fluid" on the clutch and slipping it in the gap, there's just enough room. It's not for the...

these look like them? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-CLIO-MEGANE-TRAFIC-DOOR-INTERIOR-TRIM-PANEL-RETAINER-CLIPS-7703077430-/131764309499?hash=item1eadc3cdfb:g:638AAOSwJQdW-EZz

I had a weird knock on my 1.2 for ages, it started doing it on a long journey and then would do it randomly, some days it'd be fine some days it'd knock, funnily when i jacked the car up to look for it, it would stop for a few days haha.. turned out to be my NSF wheel bearing, there was no...

I'd just push it down and put the bolts in then really, shouldn't be too hard to line up? as long as it all bolts together i'd say it was good. Be careful not to put tiny holes in the driveshaft gaiter if its touching the strut ive done that before haha

are both wheels off the ground? if not you'll be fighting the arb to line it up.

Passed its MOT yesterday with no advisories, Tester even commented on how well maintained it is mechanically so pretty chuffed with that! Also had the wheel alignment done after changing the tie rods etc, car feels like a brand new car now, previously it was skittish and the steering was notchy...

Yeah it wasn't really difficult, the nearside inner rod was on solid so took some swearing to get off but apart from that it was easy. I did the inners with a 32mm fan spanner not a proper tool, just moved the steering back and two to get better access, although mines a 1.2 so don't know how...

Just done both of my tie rods and ends as my steering was a bit off and tyres wearing on the outside. Tracking and MOT in the morning fingers crossed it'll pass! If not ill be back under it tomorrow haha
