    Should a rebuilt F4R engine (RS200) eating oil after run-in?

    "using oil while running in" is basically saying, f**k off for 6 months so when you come back we can claim the engine hasnt been treated properly for the last 6 months, not our issue. The F4R does not use oil, i must have had almost 20 of them and the only one i had that used oil is sitting on...

    10+ year old Old discs and tyres? - Bin them?

    my 197 has 4yr old PS4s on it and they are goosed! fit for the bin, plenty tread left. tyres would be going in the bin. discs probably ok but given the price of a new pair id be sticking a new pair on as the discs will still be pitted and a bit s**t

    Martin's 172 Exclusive

    Unfortunately while giving this a wash, a chunk of paint chipped off the passengers door, looks like water has been getting down the back of it possibly. Kinda made me fall out of love with it so I've stuck it on eBay (along with my mk1 Audi TT that I've not touched in years!) and choose to just...

    Choosing tyres

    I really like the PS3 in that size, I've used a Goodyear efficientgrip or something like that that was actually really good on something lower powered. I've got Hankook ventus prime 3 in 195/50/15 and 195/45/16 on 2 different sets of wheels, the 15" ones are fantastic, the 16" ones dangerous...

    Looking to get back in a Clio.

    I believe the facelift cars got the same gearbox/software as the trophy so much faster shifts on the paddles. I had a trophy and loved the box, i can understand how a slower shifting one would leave you feeling a little disconnected though! Facelift cars also got LED headlights which would be a...

    Heater Problems Clio sport 2004

    if the AC compressor isnt activating plug it in and look for fault codes. If the system pressure goes low pressure it wont allow the AC compressor to activate, the same can be said if the system pressure is ok but the pressure sensor is faulty.

    Planning Engine Out Job - what 'while I'm in there jobs?'

    I priced up a starter motor while my engine was out, decided against it then 4 weeks later had to roll about on the floor trying to replace the starter, I will never refit an engine to a 2.0 Clio without replacing an old starter.
