Has the ring been announced yet? Lol :p

I'm tempted, my cars on 57k and original clutch as far as I'm aware. I know the clutches on these don't last very long so that kinda puts me off adding a dollop of torque lol. It doesn't slip at all now, but I can't help thinking an extra 30ftlb might help it start. Maybe once Ive got everything...

Yeah too much mate! haha. The difference is ridiculous, I don't know why but it was affecting my confidence in the car. I took it out for a quick thrash after I finished the bearings, and just felt so much more confident, I could actually feel what was happening under the front wheels lol. Id...

Either be original brembo pads or ds2500. Will change out the fluid as well.

Damn, that was a cracking camera!.

Tyres or brakes. I'm not sure what to do about brakes yet, they need doing. OEM drilled discs which are standard on the R26 come in at £200 yet the solid ones which the 225 uses are £100? £100 more for less disc? lol. Apparently the guys over on 197.net have tried MTEC discs and rate them, a...

I thought you had a decent camera lol

Finally finished changing my swivel hub bearings. Turns out the near side one wasn't too bad but the offside was knackered. Car drives completely different now.

Can you? I've always smashed through the centre of the caps to remove them. Can't see how you could remove them without damaging them.

What did it make on the rollers mark?

Re: The 9th, LAST Surrey Rolling Road : £30! : Saturday 8th February 9am Thanks for the refund Saner. I appreciate that :) didn't expect it though. Gutted I missed it!

Re: The 9th, LAST Surrey Rolling Road : £30! : Saturday 8th February 9am No mate, got a few jobs to do today :(

Re: The 9th, LAST Surrey Rolling Road : £30! : Saturday 8th February 9am I won't be making this now due to my car being in pieces. :(

Unfortunately we won't be making it to the rolling road tomorrow now lol. Only half way through doing these bearings as the car really wasn't playing ball. Everything was going well until we went to get the driveshaft out the hub. Numerous bearings with a sledge hammer finally released it. But...

They came. Will give them a bash today. Let's hope the car plays ball.

Yeah I know, not to worried about it right now as the car is filthy anyway, and the weather just wont let up to do anything with it. Cant wait for the summer now tbh. Might see if I can get a smart repair then.

Some great pics in here, Must fork out for that car pack with the escort in :)

Fingers crossed pal. Love it when you pm to ask if they've been posted and get no response ;) That's a no then.

Yes mate that was the plan. Although I paid for the bearings Monday night unfortunately I'm yet to receive them which is the issue. Bit annoying to say the least but that's the way it goes. Post mans been today and nothing. So unless they come tomorrow morning I won't be doing them obviously.

Lol.

Yeah it's a common problem. I think Renault want 400 for each hub? I think Ktec sell them for 200 a side. I'm just going to do them myself for 80 quid lol. Unfortunately I might not run my car at the rr if I can't get them done in time. It drives like crap and it's doing the outside edges...

A new tool turned up today :) a blind bearing puller. So I can refurb my hub bearings as the swivel hub bearings seem to be a common problem and cause play in the wheels, stiff steering and knocking. Just waiting for the bearings to turn up now. Managed to source them from Mark Black on the...

No news of the ring yet, I remember when forza 4 came out, everyone said they'd bring out track dlc. They never did and I don't think we'll see the ring in forza 5. disappointing

Cool. Thanks for the info. I'll look into it. Chips away is only down the road.

f**k me I bet your neighbours love you.

looks good for its age. Could do with some tyre shine though :P

nice. Who done that repair?

Managed to get to be bottom of this today. New resistor pack was working, I was getting twelve volts at the fan. So removed the fan expecting it to be seized. Nope it was fine. Turns out the fan terminals were slightly corroded. Cleaned them up. Plugged it all back in and now it's beautiful...

Put a new heater resistor pack in today, still hasn't solved my problem. Fan does nothing. My next step will be to check the connection to the fan, and also theres a relay in the circuit that could potentially stop it working or so I'm told. It did come on randomly the other day for a few...

Helloooo I know this isn't clio related but my heater fan has stopped working in my R26. First port of call was to check the fuses in the glove blox which are fine, so then I replaced the resistor pack and it still doesn't work on any speed. It has climate control but even manually overriding...
