After a lot of reading, think I have found out what I need - only thing is that I have snipped off the old connector (grey) as it was shot, and now I have 2 pink and 2 orange wires. Shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit

Hi all, I have been sorting the wiring under my seats today (annoying service and airbag light and pretensioner and seat position sensor fault codes) and have used the 3.3Ohm resistors for the airbag wires. I was just wondering if I can use resistors in the pretensioner side too as this will...

All sorted for the princely sum of £1.59, thanks Danny

I recently had my head skimmed, ported, polished and had the inlets matched (cam belt skipped and a mate sorted a good price for the head work) and have to say the only difference I have found is that it is a bit revvier. After it was done, I fit a decat pipe and the difference that just the...

Or a Halfords 063 340ah one?

Hi all Battery has just passed away, RIP lol. I was just wondering if I need to stick to a 063? I can get a Bosch S4 008 for pretty much free. Cheers

They just bolt up to the subframe? I havent seen any captive nuts or anything when I looked Cheers btw lol

Do these need a fitting kit? I got one given by Andy at ClioTurbo but I dont have any fixings off the car

Ive got the lambda in the decat. I bought one of the spacers so you still get a valid reading, maybe a little diluted, but the mpg is pretty much the same, around 35mpg.

All sorted, some heat and a burned leg later and it spun out. What a difference a decat makes....... The noise on idle is the same as previous with my stainless system, but when you give it some beans the noise is unreal. It revs sooooooo much better through each gear too, gets down the...

Thanks lads. What about the donut and bolts?

Hi I've just popped a decat pipe on and have a couple of questions: Do you still use the donut gasket? (I have) I haven't used the spring loaded bolts, I used some bigger ones that came with the decat. Is that OK? How the hell do you get the o2 sensor out of the old cat??? Cheers

Hi all, Quick question - I have a 182 FF (Cup suspension) and have been offered free of charge some H & R 40mm lowering springs that are currently on a 172. I was wondering if they will fit my 182? Thanks MAC

Yeah it is getting replaced. My friend (a mechanic) originally just changed the tensioner on the aux pulley. I think that this might have caused the waterpump and a few other parts to s**t themselves. I have got a new genuine aux kit and Gates timing belt kit to go on as well as a new...
