    Attempting clutch on 172, advice needed!!

    Its not a bad job if you have experience doing similar types of jobs, as said above, just work thought it a step at a time, remember drain the gearbox oil before you remove the passengers side drive shaft as it will empty its self!! If your doing it on the deck in your garage, give yourself 2...

    I got £100 for a 1.2 cat and £40 for a manifold with a cat on it from northern refine last week.

    Bluefin/Suoerchips anyone used this combo?

    This used to be the case and I would assume they probably still use the "library" of maps for older stuff but for new stuff they are just modifying a tom tom map of turkey and flashing that on.

    Exhaust

    You won't find anything off the shelf, you will.need to go custom/universal.

    Bluefin/Suoerchips anyone used this combo?

    Worth noting that for the last 18 months they have done a £100 off deal, so they are probably one of the cheapest remaps about, so while they may not be the company they used to, they are cheap!

    Bluefin/Suoerchips anyone used this combo?

    I've used them on 5 of my cars, and always had a great experience. They used to get a model in, do all the development on their rolling road then offer the map out, tried and tested. I've had a few cars custom mapped before on a rolling road and never been happy with the end result (apart from...

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    I just keep getting deeper and deeper on this thing!! - When I done the rear brakes I found that the rear brake pipes on the beam had been cut and joined at some point, assume due to an MOT failure which is odd as the rest of the pipes are like new! - Luckily they are still available from...

    First car - Clio 1.2 PH2

    I found to be fair they sometimes come up on ebay for about £40 delivered each, find a good condition one, buy it, then sell your damaged one for £40 delivered and it ends up costing you about £15-£20 to swap to a good condition wheel, i done that on my 1.2 runabout and now have a full set of...

    First car - Clio 1.2 PH2

    Good work on the paint on the bonnet! - Always liked that colour on a mk2. Not a fan of the headlights, i think if you just restored the lights so they were back to being nice and clear that would look good, smaller front plate too always tidys them up, this was only slightly smaller, pretty...

    ABS fault

    Mine has a faulty rear sensor and does this. When you look at the live data, rear left is a couple mph lower than the rest, above 5-10mph this doesn't matter as it's within tolerance, but under 5mph it can be 50% lower so triggers it
