Might be worth centering the rack also. Put wheel on straight and count turns to right lock and left lock. eg 2 1/2 turns or there abouts. Put the wheel on when rack is centred then get "qwick dicks" to track it, leave the premises and never ever return there again.

http://www.mototuneusa.com/break_in_secrets.htm read this m8, makes sense the 2nd time you read it!

I thought was like 0=no passengers, 1=1 person in back, 2=2 people in back and 4=full load?

I have a new 1.2 16v and from day one its a bugger t keep straight unless you are really concentrating, upto 60mph is okay however. I had a razor sharp saxo vtr before this and that was easier to keep straight. Just my imagination but i wonder if the front wheels are perfectly parallel-if so a...

Where can i get this software from edde?

I doubt it matey, maybe put the drive shaft out of balance though if its got a bend in it, or your rim is buckled-whack the spare on n test drive it maybe. Would not explain the revs-road speed difference though. Get it checked out by a good garage to sure is safe.

Axle tramp occurs in rwd cars with leaf springs. The torque curls the leaf springs (like this shape ~ ) which then bounces the axle off the ground and the process starts again. This sounds like clutch plates have been contaminated, maybe oil leak? Check engine mounts also buddy.

A long time ago I had a bump in the xr3i, a guy went into back of me. Thing is though it had an rs turbo engine and suspension. The assesor looked under bonnet for the vin plate info but never mentioned the T3 turbo staring him in the face!!

Hi, mpi=multi point injection and spi=single point injection.....have a look for either 4 injectors on the inlet side(mpi) or a "carburettor looking" lump downstream of the air filter(spi). Also listen to the car, should hear soft but rapid clicking noise that does NOT click in time to the...

Local dent firm mate. A friend of mine does dents and they are amazing in what they can do.

get the tester to use a different car for the emissions part of the test

If your mounts are worn, as the engine moves around it will come in contact with the body. You will hear and also feel the vibrations from the engine. I am worried about the movement in your wheels-are your bottom ball joints tight? Check around the driveshafts, if anything is close to them as...

If you are leaving in the seats then get some small bore heat shrink and a soldering iron. This will give the best connection-how it looks is up to you! Otherwise if you need to disconnect have a look here http://www.maplin.co.uk/home.aspx?AID=10297371&PID=409138&SID=Gmaplin

Ive got a 55 extreme also, no wiring there my friend, had the pannel off.

looks grand, good effort matey

invest in a multimeter, saves time swapping components that may/may not be broken. You can test for power (volts) and also the wires continuity by resistance (ohms). Can be a good friend if you are into tinkering. They don't cost much for a hobby type meter. ie...

Wow, that's a bugger, so I wonder why other clios do but not ours? Update list radio maybe? Oh well. Messed me plans up a bit that though-glad you told me before I lashed out on a connect2 kit that id tags do not work, that was one major advantage that attracted me. Thanks for advice :)

My money is on the thrust bearing too here m8

Maybe switch is "leaking", ie not seperating its contacts fully. Try disconnecting the door switches to see if still does it. Poss' getting some sort of back feed from the light timer-however this is unlikely as led's can only work connected one way round (+/-). ermm thats all I can think of atm.

Morning! The extreme 4 comes with front door speakers and tweeters in dash only. I am planning to install rears in the standard location, however, just thought - does my stereo have 4 outputs? The big idea is to get the dension ice link for the ipod to retain stalk and display usage...

Good luck mate - haggle like your life depends on it ;)

Man I feel so stoooopid!! Found the wheel on the back of the stalk! Feel free to rip the p!$$, i deserve it lol :)

I did on my clio. As recaro182 advises, "you will not notice it" - gives me peace of mind!

yes thats the one-asked a guy at work, he has one stalk with a wheel at th back-not got that on my extreme 4 though. Looks like a trip to the breakers......

yelloow. Do the higher range cars come with 2 stalks? I have read about a jog wheel in some threads, however mine is just single stalk on r.h.s of wheel. Can the other/jog wheel type be fitted easily? I like the idea of being able to change tracks/stations without touching the HU. Many thanx...

I went for lazer surgery with Optimax Newcastle. Was so happy but then after the tests I was not suitable because the surface of my eyes is not smooth enough. b*****d! I am saying this so if the worst happens (god forbid) that you might prepare yourself for it-I went on a shopping spree that day lol

thanx again for help.

Cheers fellas. Had a poke round and did not find any redundant wires. Was browsing today and found HU's that use flash cards with mp3 format files on them, maybe an alternative to 3rd party mp3 changer.... There is a good selection of these around. Btw I only have one remote stalk on the column...

Thanx fella! I will have a look in that section now

Hello. Recently got my clio and the stereo it comes with is a single cd with front speakers only. Later today i'm going to have a poke around behind the rear speaker grills to look for factory fit speaker wiring. Anyone know if I am wasting my time looking? I am presuming that the loom is the...
