Thanks for all the responses-I shall see what I can get out of them. Never again to Kwikfit, I'll stick to Camskill and get my local to fit them as i've always done. Anyone want to buy a couple of lightly worn P zeroes?

Good point about the 2 different makes but does anyone know if the load rating makes a difference ? The wheels were already Kerbed a bit but I think they also damaged them as we'll- and they didn't balance them. If Jeremy beadle had jumped out I would understand but he's dead. Has this happened...

I asked for 4 pirellis but they only had 2 left so they suggested using 2 michelins as well. They are all quality tyres so I wouldn't have expected much difference - I just checked what pressures they hade put in and they were 52 psi FNS, 34psi FOS. 44 psi on both back tyres. Changing to the...

Just replaced tyres at kwikfit today. Didn't have time to shop around as I discovered the Infinitys the car came with were splitting and the tread was becoming detached from the rest of the tyre! Anyway asked Kwikkfit to fit 205 45 R16 87W and they fitted correct tyre to the front (Michelin...

Thanks for the replies. It was the wife who took the car down and I didn't think to check under the bonnet as they were replacing the lambda sensor and had no reason to be in there. No idea why they took it off. The garage eventually found it and said they sacked the guy who had carried out...

Just went to check the oil and discovered the engine cover was missing. The car had a lambda sensor replaced a couple of weeks ago by a local garage but I have no idea why they needed to remove the engine cover. Is the cover actually needed or is it just cosmetic. They are looking for it but...

Car has been going into limp mode when cold so I bought a fault code reader and its telling me that there is an O2 circuit sensor malfunction on Bank 1 Sensor1. I think this is the lambda in the manifold going wrong but could someone confirm or advise if both lambdas are the same and where can...

Just had this fitted and sounds fantastic, not too loud even with the ktec decat and it doesn't drone on the motorway. It was only £255 delivered.

The mongoose does have a centre silencer so maybe it will be ok, otherwise it'll be a second hand cat. Does anyone know how much a new one is?

The 182 had been making an interesting whistling noise for the last couple of weeks. I was quite enjoying it until I realised it was down to a split appearing on the cat. The front flange completely sheared off and the car's exhaust now has more bandages than tutankhamen's wardrobe (as the...

Thanks for the two replies above, I think removing the two bolts next to the headlights would have worked if I had perservered but I was finding it difficult to get a spanner on the bolt heads. I got really pissed off and grabbed the front edge of the bonnet (and held on to the secondary catch)...

thanks for the advice but it still won't open - I,ve found a replacement bonnet at a scrappers and will have to cut the perfectly good stuck one off this weekend.

hello - just got a phase 1 clio 172, great car but the bonnet has decided to stay shut. Spent 3 hours - removed bumber, undetrays etc. but can't get at catch. cable hasn't broken but even with molegrips attached it won't budge. I have tried pushing and pulling the bonnet whilst pulling the...
