We have a kit from Spectro. This consists of a little hand-held suction pump that we draw the oil up through a tube into a sample bottle. The sample then gets sent shoreside, where they have unused oil for each piece of our machinery to compare against, and produce a full analysis with traffic...

We do this in the marine industry also. Sometimes as often as every 250hours on generators. It really does give a great insight into what is going on inside the engine and creates a trend analysis. I saw that Opie offer it and thought about it doing it on a couple of my cars on the last oil...

I drove the charger straight to the dragstrip......but I resisted entering it for test and tune, even with my friends telling me to do otherwise! It sat in the car park!

I expected this to be the case, it wouldn't be purchased on finance anyway. It probably won't happen, my mind was just working overtime as the want for another car grows stronger....!!

This is what I was also wondering, was hoping someone could shed light on it! It seems that the app does offer levels of Insurance, so the vehicles are insured, it must just be something that you have to state and agree with the insurance company first, or, is fully insured from Turo. It's...

So, I've recently discovered the Turo App whilst in the US. For those that don't know, you rent "everyday people's" cars. Does anyone rent their car out on the App? What are your general experiences, do you make money from it? A curiosity more than anything, I don't think the wife would be...

Looks like we are all in the same boat! There are storage facilities that will store them, but then it adds to the cost of having one. I found this PDF the other day that would help with working out if it will fit in garages. I'd rather buy S/H though and there are so many different models on...

Thanks, I'll have a look at the specs and check it out.

Does anyone have experience of trailers that fit in garages? I know there are a couple, one I've seen where you can remove the tower part to reduce the overall length. I would like to buy one also and ideally would want it to fit inside my garage and then put the Clio on the trailer. Garage is...

My pennys worth.... you look like a tit riding them.....they are all over Europe and my brain still can't compute an adult riding around on essentially a kids toy! On a serious note, consider a helmet also, adds to the tit factor, but safety first kids.....I was on one of the rented ones in...

This is probably only my real 1st hot hatch and is also my current. I've had an XR3i (Not road legal) and I used to drive around in a friends Fiesta 1.4 Sport! But I've always owned classic cars, this was my real first delve into a more modern car! It is currently broken and miles away from me...

Unfortunately I am away for work so shall not be able to make it, but thanks for keeping me in the loop.

Hi all, Since I have owned the car I have had intermittent problems with 'Drivers Front Seat Position Sensor', for it's first MOT, I think the light was having a day 'off', the last MOT i put tape over the light....since then I have since removed the passenger airbag and used resistors to clear...

Yes @adamlstr I've almost had it two years, I don't know where the time has gone! I'm ashamed to say since its MOT, which is up in 2 months, it's done just over 100 miles! I've not had the time! Yep, light will go out, if my mate gets a minute, he'll plug it into his computer for me, but it...

Oh great, and half the price and stocked on the shelf than my local Renault dealers! Perfect! Hi Adam, I suddenly experienced running problems with it as described at the start of my thread, I didn't have time to sort it before going away for work again. The old man changed parts over for me to...

@JamesBryan @Amos91 Yeah, it was an ECP Magneti Marelli and has done the trip, it was a blast driving it back home. I've not had a chance to touch it for 9mths since I pushed it into the garage with its initial problems! My old man has changed all the parts for me and I was looking forward to...

I had the fuel line disconnected, so should achieve the same results. I picked up an injector from a well known European car part distributors... not an ideal replacement but they were the only ones who had one on the shelf. Fitted and instantly sounds better and is instantly more responsive...

190psi is 13 bar, so a slight difference between cylinders. I thought extra fuel in the barrel will increase compression, so this would lead to this higher compression test result. I'll replace injector and go from there. Cheers.

Thanks @JamesBryan i followed your advice, I should have also done that but wasn't thinking straight. No2 injector made no difference to the running, so this may be the offending item. As I was halfway there I pulled off the plugs, No2 plug was black. I did a compression test, cylinder 1, 3...

Morning all, So after a bit of advice, or more likely confirmation of what I suspect.... Clio 172 Cup, sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders, it wanted to stall and really struggled between 2-3000 rpm, then would pick up and go. I had the injectors cleaned on one of the group buy threads, I...

I 'live' in Folkestone, so one more for the Kent and Folkestone numbers! Have a stripped out 172 Cup. I do however spend most of my time overseas for work, and about a month ago I knackered my engine and it's been pushed into the garage to be forgotten about until another day!! The only photo...
