    Cable throttle body maintenance/ repair?

    Any of you with a cable operated throttle body on a clio 172 will know that when it starts sticking, or yo yoing, its a PITA. So, having changed the throttle cable albeit aftermarket, and noticing the revs went both up and down, so prob not a sticky throttle cable, the throttle body was...

    Stealth dashcam install

    Put a window through for (Mine) a £20 cheapo camera. Methinks not, maybe a pricey mobile phone Incriminating yourself is a fair point- they never noticed mine after a collision, ive still got the footage.

    Engine Under tray, help please

    Binned? Depends if you dont mind when you get an oil leak, which then drips onto this drip tray, then goes through the whole and makes a mess of your drive. Probably best replace IMO

    Stealth dashcam install

    Nice one. Personally I like the upfront approach Clio has one in full view forward facing Golf has one forward, one rear facing, with stickers front and back stating "Dashcam recording" Chavs whizz up behind me, then back off to 30 foot or so immediately. Just the job
