    clutch is high

    push really hard on the brake pedal, the plate on which the pedals are mounted will bend :D talking serious you may have the pedals higher than normal. go and check an identical car and measure it's travel. IIRC the travel should be around 13-13,5 cm from clutch pedal to the floor, measured...

    clutch is high

    I wish mine was high, as now it creaks all the time when givin it some. meanwhile I discovered that the whole pedal assembly is lower by some reason therefor I'm lacking travel. So I guess if yours is high it means it's normal ;)

    Missfire, faulty leads or..

    £3.50 answer to a stiff and creaky clutch?

    no, the cable has rarely anything to do with the creak. I changed my clutch one year ago and used some copper grease here and there. the creak was gone for a few days. if the cable was one of the parts causing it I should've heard the creak right after the clutch was replaced

    Camber bolts - few questions

    I've seen someone here complaining about the camber had changed on a track day, he had coilovers with elongated holes. As I understand the top bolts have to be really tight in order to keep the camber. Even so, I think the camber bolts are better in keeping the camber. I'll report if anything...

    Do 182 wheels fit a 172?

    direct fit no problems, they'll stick out 3 mm since the ET is 45 but that won't do no harm, so no worries

    how do you tell if alloys are good quality

    best way to be sure you get a decent alloy is to buy a known brand I'm afraid.

    think these camber bolt are wrong ( inc pic)

    Bought a pair of these from kamracing (best price-15 quid) and wanted to set things clear with these bolts. I know I had some questions about these... So here's what I know They work on standard shocks, if you have coilovers with elongated holes they're useless Don't be scared by the diameter...

    Fitted these washer jets

    I bought them as being c3 jets, had no idea back then the xara also has them. so they're the same on both c3/xara. any other models in the citroen range who share these jets?

    DIY camber gauge

    I had my bolts fitted today (at last!) and not being careful on the gauge I accidentally went to 1,85 negative on one side and since I struggled to get the top std bolt off (not having quite the right tools-mainly adjustable spanners) I decided to let the camber at this value for now. The...

    People with Milltek exhausts, who's had problems?

    I know there are a number of failures, but want to know the percentage of them. this would be good for future buyers

    £3.50 answer to a stiff and creaky clutch?

    ok, this is clear now, thx! I have some lithium based grease, do you think I should buy some motor bike chain oil instead?

    £3.50 answer to a stiff and creaky clutch?

    you mean the fork (or lever as you said initially) fingers that press the release bearing onto the pressure plate? is that where you greased? never heard of clutch diaphragm before

    17 or 15 inch alloys?

    get a second hand ultraleggeras or speedline 2118 in 15", get them refurbed if the case, buy some eibach springs and that's it

    £3.50 answer to a stiff and creaky clutch?

    so you say it's rubbing where the release bearing touches the pressure plate fingers? interesting to see if this cure lasts, so please report back if it's coming back soon

    Help with shocks? 182 or 182 cup?

    according to k-tec there are 2 different shocks for the rear: the 172/182 ones and the 182 cup/cup packed ones.
  22. ripp

    Help with shocks? 182 or 182 cup?

    go and measure the front bolt spacing on the shocks, if it's 60 mm then you have the cup suspension as well, if it's 54 then you have the normal sport suspension.

    197, new tyres suggestion

    try to get the hankook RS-2, they are cheaper than most top brands and very well rated here. if you can't find them in your country order them from outside. they are very good in the dry but wear quickly If you want something good all-round (durability plus grip) get the new michelin pilot sport 3

    Missfire, faulty leads or..

    now the car works fine after some start/stops. so don't think that anything would came out at a diagnosis. basically I have to wait for it to go wrong again and call someone to have the car inspected while still cold, otherwise problem could easily go away if I'm going there and the engine gets...

    Missfire, faulty leads or..

    Today when the car struggled to start again (after 2 days of wet weather/fog/light rain) I realized that it only did this when the weather was wet and cold (late autumn and early spring months) Each time the cure was to take out the leads and clean them and/or driving till the engine was up to...

    once the bolts will arrive I'll set the camber myself, then after a while I'm gonna do the tracking and compare their results with mine-camber wise ;) there is obviously room for improvement, first thing I want is to make a system that holds the gauge to the rim, then the reading will be a lot...

    DIY camber gauge

    yeah it's easy if you live in UK, Ireland or Scotland ... Romania.. not so good, they don't deliver there. found myself another website but they didn't shipped here also. 22 incl vat is not bad, but transport will be an extra 30-40 so basically about 50-60, cost me 3 pounds to do this ;)
