    Quietest exhaust for 182?

    Are these Milltek's common on the used market or am I best off spending like £600 on one? That's half the value of the car! :D

    Quietest exhaust for 182?

    What about getting one made up with the most amount/largest silencers in? I got a twin pipe catback made for my Lexus for £400, and it would be literally half the pipework.

    Rear Cage vs Full Cage & How Far to Take Stripped Interior? (1*2)

    Car is a Phase 2 172. Sat here daydreaming earlier and was wondering about the above. Now it’s not a general query, my car is already semi-stripped with a SW motorsports rear cage with harness bar, bucket seat, 6pt harness. Obviously other mods too, but not relevant to this thread. The car is...

    Steering Angle Sensors?!

    Basically I ended up starting again with a known good squid/indicator assembly & known good steering angle sensor, and touch wood, its worked.

    REIS Insurance (incl trackdays)

    Just an update for Reis - I looked at getting a multicar policy for the Clio and my Lexus, and they said if there was any evidence I'd been to the Ring in either car they'd cancel both policies. And they regularly look at ring pictures apparently. Not sure how feasible that would be. Perhaps...

    Me... Or at least the company I work for. Not sure if I'm allowed to say any more as I'm not a forum sponsor etc.

    Another car gone, and one bought. X5 3.0d.

    Always had a soft spot for this age X5, especially in Estoril Blue. What are they like fuel economy wise?

    Best products / way to clean black leather seats

    While we're on it, any tips for cleaning perforated leather seats? I'm a bit reluctant to start splashing stuff on if its just going to run into the innards of the cushion.

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Still not replaced mine yet. Barely driven the car. Wondering whether to bin off the PAS and just loop the rack. If the rack isn't in great condition, Whats the likelihood that looping it will make it s**t itself?

    Back in a 182 after 10 years. After some help

    I had damp under the passenger seat and the scuttle drains were blocked and after that we were fine. How are your gearbox mounts looking? I'm not an expert but could be a mount/linkage issue. For the reverse issue - Could the clutch not be fully disengaging? I had this on a classic mini and...

    Upgrade/Remove or Repair to OEM? (A/C, PAS, etc)

    Is this just done with the rack looped? What setup did you use for the belt etc?

    Upgrade/Remove or Repair to OEM? (A/C, PAS, etc)

    Brilliant! That's what I wanted to hear, cheers. I was thinking of running an PAS fluid cooler like an oil cooler with the take-off from the low pressure line, would that eliminate the need for running lower level? Or even add another layer of safety?

    Upgrade/Remove or Repair to OEM? (A/C, PAS, etc)

    Clio 172 Ph2. I'm very much of the mindset of "If it ain't broke, just enjoy using it". The PAS pump ran dry on a track day and is now noisy even when refilled. Did an oil change the other week and noticed the AC rad flapping around. Figured that explained why it didn't go as cold as it used to...

    Steering wheel not straight - alignment is fine

    If you're having to suggest that to the garage, I'd second taking it somewhere else than the place that did the alignment and were stumped by the results. Where in the country are you?

    Ebay refurbed Power Steering Pumps

    Seeing as the Nissan pump above is out of stock and hard to find on eBay, I've been looking at other Clio specific ones. A lot of saying "non aircon cars only". Is there a difference in the pumps or is this just an error?

    Quietest exhaust for 182?

    Thread hijack - are these Millteks passing noise regs for trackdays?

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Also, most pumps are stated for cars without AC, are these just Cup only pumps then?

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Thanks, I've had both those on my watch list but the second one is out of stock, and the first one I've not much confidence in, as Beauvais Motorsport said. Onto Autodoc!

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Perfect thanks! I'm up to speed now I think lol. That's where I'd planned to mount it as well. Next question is.... Are the pumps still available? If not, can you rebuild them?

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    I was considering a power steering cooler after it happened actually. Good to know I wasn't miles off with that thought, but I want to ask a really stupid question: Obviously in the case of an oil cooler, it's fitted into a complete circuit and its pumped round and circulated etc. Does a power...

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    As above really. Boiled the power steering fluid on track last summer and ended up bursting the pressure sensor. The pump pretty much ran dry, and was driven about 10 miles until it was refilled with new fluid (i.e. I drove it to Halfords, not 10 miles on track). Also, because I had many many...

    I've still not added a temp gauge if that helps.
