    Temp sensor fudged after changing clock face

    Yeah man that’s one of my last hopes, before tinkering it wouldn’t ever sit halfway anyway, just under. Obvious under. But now it’s just a very slow yo-yo between halfway and halfway to halfway

    Temp sensor fudged after changing clock face

    Ive just been told to leave the plastic off the clocks and once the cars up to temp and full of fuel simply move the needle to where it should be?? Won’t this just reset itself once I turn it off though? Edit; just to clarify it does go back to normal temp if I put my foot down but then after...

    Temp sensor fudged after changing clock face

    Don’t tell me that hahah, won’t I lose my mileage if I change the clocks?

    Temp sensor fudged after changing clock face

    As above I’ve changed the clock face around. Now the temp sensor will go just underhalfway as it did before (fine) but then 2 mins later it drops again and goes halfway to halfway. I’ve taken the needles out countless times and done the dial test/reset with needles on and off to put them back...

    None fixed in Aero catches

    I've sourced another spare bonnet with aero catches in, I'm unsure of the make but the guy I've got them off had them on his clio for years running ITBs and he don't cheap out so I'm quite sure they ain't Chinese ones haha. Anyway everything is in place in the bonnet (locking catch never...

    Passenger window only goes down, tried almost everything

    Posted before and since then I've; Changed the buttons on the drivers side and replaced the regulator with a working one. It still only goes down and won't come back up! What's the more deeper problem here? Loom fail or?

    Passenger window regulator

    Did yours not work on the passenger side aswell as the drivers side? Both buttons don't work on this one

    Passenger window regulator

    I'm assuming the regulator has gone because neither switch works anymore for the passenger side. Problem is the window is stuck all the way down. I've took everything I can off but I cannot release the window from the slider due to it being all the way down. Wtf do I do now? Is there a way to...

    DA and Holograms

    Nice knuckles thanks for the help! So work the polish until it's clear/oily Then speed up until it's gone or? What's the indication that i need to stop cutting? Then do a couple more passes back on 3 with minimal pressure All with the same white hex pad? Sorry for all the questions haha

    DA and Holograms

    Hm so I should definitely still keep the slowed down to 3 part then? even after I've done enough passes on speed 5 for the polish finally to become oily/clear/shiny ? Junkman never slowed down on his video. Just kept going on a small area until the polish was ready to remove.

    DA and Holograms

    Top advice guys & awesome work Daniel! I'll put it to use when I'm off work, here's hoping I can finally look at BG and be happy with the paint :sweat:

    DA and Holograms

    Yeah that's where i think I'm going wrong. Are both of those reasons to cause Holograms? Not working in enough and too much pressure? Although pressure shouldn't really be a thing with DAs? or have a just made that statement up hahah, I know pressure is a thing with rotarys for sure.

    DA and Holograms

    I've always thoroughly cleaned the pad after each use so I'm pretty sure it's not clogged up. So better application of the polish and working it in more until it's clear/oily? M205 with a white hex wouldn't be coarse enough on Renault paint? Surely if everything is done correctly this combo...

    DA and Holograms

    This is doing my titties in royaly! Especially as I own BG. Right I've spent the last 2 years or so learning a lot about detailing. Like a lot, spent over £400+ on gear and products, so I'm not a total noob, more of a weekend warrior with above average knowledge, id like to think that anyway...

    coilovers and arch liner catching

    Alright anyone know how low you can actually go without scrubbing on the arch liners? Bought my 182 on ktec coilies, they had to remove the front arch liners due to scrub, It's about time I raised it and put the liners back in. Problem is I love the current height and don't really want to...

    Wonder if there's any computer geeks among us to help me out! It seems like a simple problem but for my life I can't actually google this one and it's doing my nut in! I run a premium VPN, Cyberghost. My routine is; Start up computer, run VPN, start up Firefox... Firefox times out! Google...

    hearing and feeling "clicks" when braking?

    As title I'm getting some "clicks" when braking from the front end. Say I'm coming to a long stopping distance I'll slowly apply the brakes and right until near I've come to a complete stop I'll hear and feel a couple of "clicks" or bumps in the brake pedal itself and I'll hear it click...

    Firestick with Kodi

    Right I've looked up some tutorials on how to install it myself and okay, it does seem straight forward with the whole es explorer and inputting the apk URLs, also the Black Friday deal is not a bad shout either if they do knock it down! Looks like custom build it is then. Another question is...

    Firestick with Kodi

    As above I'm completely new to all the kodi lark, done my research and understand it. However I'm unsure of which one to buy off the bay? Are they reliable? Are they worth it? Anyone bought one? Forget doing a custom install I'd probably brick it. Also what about the potential risks? on my...

    BG swirlssssssss

    Don't borrow a rotary trust me, I borrowed my brothers and although I made the paint spot on swirl free, I butchered it in terms of "holograms" (Google 'paint holograms' if you haven't seen!) in the sunlight it was terrible. Been on the Facebook "detailing addicts" page and learnt a lot. Argos...

    BG swirlssssssss

    Forget glazes if you really want you paint to shine. invest in cheapy starter kits for machine polishes pads and such, so much better and satisfactory doing it yourself :laughing: that's what I did, although it's turned into a mini addiction, spent a good £300-£500 on stuff now. Here's my BG...

    BG 182 w/ Liquid Yellow update

    Nothing much to report other than V6 box is gone and ktec has taken its place. What a difference! Wasn't expecting anything but I can 110% confirm the cars picked up quite a lot going down my favourite B road after I swapped it over. Huge smiles hahaha! I can just hear the noise over the yozza...

    Second hand uprated cams..

    As title, soon I'll be looking for 197 cams or cat cams for my 182. However I'm a tit and don't know what to look for other than obviously being bent is not a good thing. What do you look out for in buying second hand cams?
