    Apple 8/X

    This is the same with any tech though. A 5 year old laptop will be running a lot slower than it did when new, this isn't unique to Apple. I completely agree that the X will be 'upgraded' next year though, why break the habit of a lifetime?

    Pre tensioner question

    I can't answer your question, but if it were me I'd be getting the part number off the one on your car and checking it against others. Although I can't see why they would be different?

    Apple 8/X

    I'm using a 5 year old iPhone 5 today with zero problems (well apart from the screen looking like it's been polished with a Brillo pad)

    Apple 8/X

    We won't know until pre order date I wouldn't imagine. So tomorrow for the 8 and Oct for the X

    197 upper inlet with 172 RS lower?

    Not as far as I know, you should be able to run the 197 head without standalone management. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be along soon. @bloke

    Clio RS200 projector headlights

    Just remember they are only a light that illuminates when turning the wheel, they don't turn with the wheel like a lot of cars do, so you wouldn't be missing out too much.

    Clio RS200 projector headlights

    I always find 6000k a bit too blue, much prefer a more OEM 4300k which tends to be whiter and gives better visibility.

    197 upper inlet with 172 RS lower?

    Isn't the issue getting the 'box in? as the 197 box is too big and the 1*2 box doesn't mate to the block? Needs custom driveshafts, mounts etc. Not a simple drop in job. They you have the electrics side of things, the VVT is different in the 197's IIRC

    Air conditioner not functioning Diagnostic

    If you are stumped by front bumper removal, please don't attempt to fix it yourself! If you do decide to, make sure you have the system vacuumed before undoing anything, even though you have a leak its probably still going to contain some refrigerant and lubricant under pressure. Any of the...

    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    Nice one! @Sir_Dave Any ideas on this? I changed the rack on mine last Thursday - all went fine and the rack fixed my steering noise, however my steering pump is a lot noisier now. It was virtually inaudible before, but since the new rack I've developed the typical whine you hear from a lot...

    So will it bump start?

    Apple 8/X

    You I sure? I've got 2 sat here, a 5 and a 7 plus. I have no issues with swapping the SIM card over, both were set up using the same backup from my previous phone. iMessage and apps are associated with the Apple ID, not the SIM card. In fact, the majority of your phone will work just fine...

    Apple 8/X

    6S! They're yet to announce the 7S! It shares the camera and processor with the 6S and a few other bits as far as I know.

    Apple 8/X

    Just swap the SIM card over, takes a couple of seconds?

    They should - the SE is a great phone, the Mrs has one.

    iTunes Films

    Are you streaming the film or is it downloaded on you PC? Maybe worth deleting the film and downloading again if possible.

    help needed

    Does the car start now or not? I'd test the battery first, voltage isn't the perfect indicator - but it's better than nothing. After that I'd get it started (jump leads or bump it) and test the battery again, you should be seeing a higher voltage than when you tested the battery (if the...

    Just bought a 172 CUP

    To be fair, in winter conditions (snow/ice) I find a car without ABS and TC far easier to drive, but I suspect that'll be because my first few cars were original Mini's, no choice other than to learn how to drive properly with one of them!

    Rojer's New Car!

    I really can't get on with that gear change noise!!

    Alternator needs replacing anything else

    I'd personally have no issues reusing the belt if it's that new. How about the tensioner?

    Looking for first 182

    My S40 was a 10 year interval, but I've never seen anything above that myself.

    What Engine oil/plugs to use

    Ignore me - just noticed they have there own section!

    What Engine oil/plugs to use

    What's happened to Renault Parts Direct? I thought they were a trader on here but I can't see them in the traders section.

    What Engine oil/plugs to use

    Nothing wrong with the Elf oil from Renault, and it's usually a good price online. RE the gearbox, it's up to you - it would probably benefit from a change though.

    using resistor on front Lambda sensor?

    If a new lambda sensor didn't fix it, then it's probably not the lambda at fault. Unless you bought one of the cheapo eBay ones that is? Have you had any diagnosis done on the car? At the very least it needs the codes reading and ideally a session on Clip (By someone that knows how to use it)
  26. Chrisgti6

    Strange hesitation

    Surely whatever code reader you have can only report the codes stored on the ECU? I've got a cheap wifi obd2 cable and use Dashcommand on iPhone, I've never had an incorrect fault code yet.

    Another MCS. The track day toy.

    Awesome - glad it's up and running again! I've got mine in for it's MOT tomorrow. Still have a ball joint to replace and a headlight washer to fix before 9am tomorrow. Busy night tonight then!

    Screen protector? To be fair, the glass on my 7+ seems very scratch resistant so I've never bothered myself.

    Air conditioner not functioning Diagnostic

    Did they add any UV dye when they regassed?

    Some honest advice needed

    You sound like me! The only thing better than my GTi-6 was my S16!
