take the struts off yourself, take them to any old garage and ask them to change the springs over. minimal cost to you!

took us 5 or 6 hours last time we done a clutch on a clio, can't remember wether it was a 72 or 82 fairly easy. i suppose as dan said, it's better if you get someone who works on these particular cars day in day out but it definitely is not beyond the scope of any mechanic. if you follow your...

the clutch is in NO WAY a specialist job. you'll be more than fine at your local garage :)

worst case scenario if for some reason they don't fit (which they will lol) you could be up money if you had to sell them on :) everyones a winner babe, that's for suuuure. tom jones said it all sir

lol. brave guy putting these renault clio door handles at a bargain price before the very eyes of 10,000 + clio owners. also, yes mate you can swap them over :)

thanks a lot chaps! sick of the airbag lights being on and i've been told by numerous auto electricians that the resistor method is a fire hazard, so my only line of permanently removing the airbag and service light will be to use clip to tell the car that there are no side airbags. am i...

i changed my twingo's seats over to subaru gc8 bucket seats, and i want the airbag lights to go out permanently without needing to use the resistor method. i was wondering if any of the scottish members could recommend me a good garage that will have clip, ideally close to glasgow but a drives...

good luck mate! hope you're back on the road again shortly

unfortunately i'm in scotland champ, if i was closer i'd come around and sort your car out for you not because i feel for you, just because you sound like an all round good guy. it's a shame that nobodies offered up some help mate. not a shame on your half, but a shame that nobodies got an ounce...

if you can't fix the problem then at least you've gave it a bash, and no harm will be done. it wouldn't cost much at a garage to be resolved, and if you wanted to you could just pay for a diagnosis at a garage and then bring it home to do the work yourself :)

you'll be fine with youtube videos, i'm not familiar with the f4r engine only having worked on them about 10x in my lifetime, but an engines an engine in that sense. it's just a case of following the air intake feed into the engine and at the end of it this is where the throttle butterfly will...

jammed throttle butterfly and idle control valve. when you accelerate, the throttle butterfly opens and the IAC valve closes so it appears the IAC is closing but the throttle butterfly is not opening meaning no air is getting in or very little air and will make it feel as if it's about to stall...

staggered sizes for example the same alloys but 7j on the fronts and 8j on the rear with say 195's on the front and then 205's on the rear would give you a more stable back end. the opposite way around would give you better grip on the front, but a less stable rear end.

http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator if you find wheels you like, enter their measurements such as their offsets onto here as well as your current wheel offsets and widths etc. this will tell you how further they stick out or poke out of your arch. this should help you at...

7''.

bulkhead drains yep. get some cable down there or welding wire etc to unblock it :)

gtr wing on a gtst lol. lets not crack jokes about things that try to be something they are not you gilded ring piece.

haha aye man. when i had my 182, i thought seriously about getting rid of all of the bumpers etc in place of the 1.2 / 1.4 bumpers and put the 1.2 wheels on to make it a track day sleeper but it got written off before i could decide on what fun i was going to have :(

15'' expect around 100-130, i paid 130 and received a top notch finnish. 17's expect to pay 130-160. so on so forth. in the same shop man, when i wanted my roof bonnet reg recesses etc sprayed gloss black one guy had quoted me around 600 and another guy a few months later quotes me 300 for my...

every single one of those exhausts are just exactly the same. needs a worrying level of hawk eye to spot differences. i wonder if anyone has put a 172 bumper on the 182 and then slammed a nice exhaust on it? knowing me it would have to be a big jap can !

i own this, with camber guage. use it outside of work for track preperations, all my mates use it for their old banger bmw drift motors. does the job perfectly, damm accurate too. what you waiting for?

hey guys needing some help, does anyone know if the caliper carriers are standard over the renault range and if so will discs and calipers etc be an easy swap over??? or will i have to convert the entire hubs (if possible?) thanks in advance guys. i'll probably get the parts off here as always...

why did i read that as snapped? must be that big bag of kush. haha

why don't you ask adam?? looks vw group, cheap and nasty in itself but on the mx-5 it doesn't look too bad. deffinately is off no stock nissan i have ever seen and i've owned and worked on heaps of nissans.

UCH. bingo! :) common problem on older renaults.

what he said ^^^ although you'd be able to rule out the coil pack / ht / spark plugs by doing what i done. the timing belt you can rule that one out too, if it snapped, the engine wouldn't be turning now would it ?!?! deffinately best to get a diagnostic reader onto it. this will at least give...

pull out the spark plugs whilst connected to the coils with the ignition set to OFF! get a pair of insulated tongs and hold the ignition coils above the cylinder head and turn the igniton on and start the car, observe the spark coming from each spark plug as you test them. if any of the spark...

your thermostat is jammed closed sir. you'll need a new one. that's the only reason why no air would blow + the overheat. when jammed closed, coolant cannot circulate around, therefore cannot circulate through to the heater matrix to be radiated into the heating vents and blown out. run the car...

sounds like vapour lock mate. check the condition of your pads, if they're alright then your brake fluid's got air pockets in it and will need bled possibly

not got a clue about a flamer kit. that seems very DIY and very unsafe, certainly never in my life heard of putting fuel into the end of the exhaust system. i think you are thinking if a rev limiter such as the bee r rev limited which works by cutting the spark > throwing unburnt fuel down the...
