Reading up on the web, a lot of parcels from the EU are being delivered to the customer, with a bill for customs and VAT. (Woman charged £134 vat and duty on clothes of £274 she ordered from EU- she refused the items and sent them back ) Cant see that being much for a £10 calendar, but would be...

Thanks for the update

Any news on the calendars please, not received mine as yet?

Had a remap there couple years back- very helpful, told me a couple issues (One being LAMBDA sensor only working occasionally- needs pre heat or something) and mapped it great Now running 179.8 BHP :-)

Hi Peter- Cant you just order from UK and get posted over? I bought a used replacement wiper motor recently from a salvage yard on Ebay, and only cost £20 Sterling supply and delivered You couldnt be looking at more than £60 GBP delivered to you i would have thoought.... maybe a bit more...

Hoping that my rear brakes are sticky on the sliders, or could it be the piston is sticky? Any idea how you can tell which it is I will remove the sliders and silicone grease up, but is it a rebuild if there is a problem with the piston? Doesnt seem that bad TBH. When brakes have been applied...

Throttle body can be very tempremental, I am on my 3rd- and thats been refurbed- new butterfly and bored out Could also be ICV Idle control valve. I cleaned mine, was good for a while, then went bad, replaced it and it was fine Could be other things engine related Obvs. Not starting could be...

Welcomes- Brighton here . well Brighton and HOVE actually :)

Hi wsprad, where are you located?

Hi Ben- Have personal messaged you a few times, with some details Not sure if anyone else knows why the K-TEC LHD only throttle cable, wont fit a RHD? Shorter maybe?

In the end i got the gearbox replaced with a Cup one (Good/used) got the driveshaft changed (Good/used) and the clutch at the same time (good/used) The Clio failed the MOT a weeks later, LOL, on a few naff things (HID Headlights, Bulkhead fire protection, loose cabling etc etc) but the biggest...

I'm Brighton and would be happy to meet halfway- Portsmouth ish Prob best after Covid pandemic dies down a bit- well. for me anyway

When i removed my throttle body for a refurb. i bought an A4 sheet of gasket material pretty cheap off ebay bout £7 , and just cut out a new one by tracing round the throttle body Worked fine for me Yes, have had 3 throttle cables, and the best one was the cheapest, most inferior quaility...

Just seen this- you fancy posting up a pic of your new one, saying what Fabia part/year/model it is Am interested in getting rid of my rotten one

Ive now swapped the HIDs over to Bosch HB3's. They are yellowish in appearance but brighten the way enough, probly better than the HIDs tbh May just swap back after MOT, not sure. But least Ive got all i need. Thanks Re-test Monday

Fab. Thanks

Spose I am just paranoid. Just failed without one, and would prefer the right one for my retest Where are the studs located?

BSB stealth is just right tone- never an issue on track. Bout 84dbs with a sportscat Was one on sale on ebay recently

Have you had an MOT done since doing it?

Am in a similar position My Phase 1 failed MOT yestday when the sound deadening around the bulkhead Caught Fire! (He was doing an emissions test... although he also mullered my jacking point requiring welding now)) Dont recall a heat shield ever being there- heat shield starts at the exhaust...

Not really fussed about the lamps, although they were a nice bright white not dazzling, just the fact that he PASSED them in May 2019 which is the last MOT It seems it is only 2 wires, so hopefully i can carefully remove the kit (High voltage ballast unit) and replace with H7 halogens Its...

Yep, Ive averaged a driveshaft every 1 year for my 4 years of ownership. Certainly not made to last if you like throwing the vehicle about a bit. My last drivers side brand new one (Autodoc from Germany) lasted less than 12 months and my Mechanic got the money back on it, (He showed me a...

Thought he was being a bit picky as theyve been on the car since i bought i, and he did the last MOT- but will see how easy to change them over. It wont help that the engine bay caught fire as it happens, duing the MOT when doing an emissions test For some reason there is no exhaust heat...

Was told the rules are new, and he didnt fail them in years gone by Thing is about another tester is that they will see the fail notes from this test Apparently "The lamp source and lamp isnt compatible" 4.1.4. (c) But i like your thinking

Bought my 172 Phase 1 in October 2016 with the HID (Cheap) kit in place. It worked, so i left it alone Today it failed the MOT as apparently HID has to be OEM and needs washers and the like, or it fails. So thats new So where do i start- need new halogen kit with lampholders i suspect? dipped...
