More issues with Specialist Components stuff. I'm active on a good few mini forums which SC do a lot of parts for and there seems to be issues with them every time.

Git gud scrub.

It was your first post on this forum and you dragged up a 4 year old thread to complain about it? The user isn't even active on the forums anymore. Go troll elsewhere.

Nice effort at dragging it back up after 4 years. asshat.

Also, a spelling error such as that isn't a grammatical error.

Triggers broom.

My heat doesnt go that hot and my cold doesnt go that cold (AC is fucked I think), any reason for this? the cogs are working fine and the roof sensor is clean. The temperature adjusts but it's just warm, not hot.

LV55 ZDR Just sticking the reg in here incase the new owner decides to google it.

Great job on the LED/SMD light swap. I really must do the ones in my centre console, only half of the screen lights up.

Do it! So cheap too for great gains. From what I remember it's less than £100 too. Saab B207R (9-3 Aero). Stock = 210hp and 310nm of torque. Stage 1. Remap only = 250hp and 370nm.

The bulkhead? Can you get a few pics? It may help others in future.

That looks decent. A lot of exhaust shops would knock you one together for a similar price though and you can tailor the sound to suit whatever you want.

You're literally the first person I've heard say that the demo was shite.

What'd you use on the scuttle?

I wonder why though, even with the history on here I'm still tempted to throw a bid on it.

Those black bungs are the reason for the water ingress in my boot. I'm just going to silicone them off as I can't see the purpose behind them being removable. Would a dab of dielectric grease be worthwhile? I'll get a rattle at it this weekend, cheers.

Mine does the same, often makes me wonder what the rear lights are doing when I stand on the brakes, Wheres the earth in the boot?

Platinum and rare metal content in the originals is supposedly quite high, that's why they command a premium

It's only the Renault stamped ones that are worth anything scrap value due tot he rare metals. They go for 140-180 depending on where and when you go.

The car has been faultless for months, I was just going to check the condition of them but it seems like it may be more hassle than it's worth. If they give too much resistance when I try at the weekend I'll not bother trying to remove them.

You've had me looking for a sunflower ph1 for months now. That's perfect (although I prefer it on the other wheels)

Good idea on warming it first. I put the socket on them and had that gut feeling that the threads were coming along with the plug. I'll have another bash at the weekend. Cheers.

I was having a futter about at the weekend and wanted to check the state of my plugs whilst I had the upper inlet off. The first thing I noticed was that the plug holes were half full of engine oil, there was no leaks from the rocker so I can only imagine someone poured used engine oil in...

My 205 tyres tramline like mad, I'm going to pick up some 195's when these are done as it supposedly makes it less noticable.

f**k I love that car.

Proper order.

Back in the day (when the mk2’s were new) a mate of mine ran her ‘1.2 extreme’ with 172 wheels and lowered 60mm. Apart from that she just kept it really clean and it was great looking imo. You’d be able to pick up 172 alloys for under £100 and springs are around that price.

https://www.merlinmotorsport.co.uk/p/millers-cvl-turbo-octane-booster-mill-turbo Worth a shot? My rallye failed MOT on emissions (It had sat for a year and only covered 70 miles) but after I fired a bottle of that in the tank and gave it an italian tune-up, it passed with flying colours.

That Meganes lovely, real shame to be cutting it up. That's exactly what I want to replace my 172 with. That said, the 197 looks great too, best of luck!

sorry if its been covered but what did you use on the boot floor? I used Deox then Hydrate 80 on my rallye but the rusts starting to appear again.
