hair dryer for a couple mins, soak in Autoglymn tar and adhesive remover, then dental floss to remove gotta do mine soon

The beauty of going to a track as a Club group. Wouldnt want to leave anyone stranded! As said, the RAC bloke i spoke to said recovery and 1st stage repair, so long as not ON track or circuit. Just outside is fine. (Tell me what they do if you are just spectating and breakdown then) But AA...

Hows the Clio Karlos?

Had a chat with the RAC guy that i called to help sort broken accelerator cable (He got me going, but still not sorted completely) and asked him whats happens if you are on a track. He said no chance if you are on the track/ in the circuit, but if you are outside you should be OK. Got the...

So what did you tighten them up to? 105n/m or more?

Sounds pretty good.

Luckily, having squirted WG at both ends of the cable where it goes into the sheath, seems almost perfect today, but have had that before. When manually operating the throttle body, it seems to snap back pretty quick. does the butterfly not always snap back as well then? Wow. thats pricey...

Thats surely not right. 105n/m doesnt seem tight. so gone to 108n/m. My DS3 was 112n/m

So. replaced the broken throttle cable, then cut back the exisiting outer sheath which hadnt been removed from the vehicle, and all seemed good. No tight accelerator, seemed to repond ok Today went for a 60 mile drive, and after 10 miles or so, revs started sticking at around 1500, then 2000...

Coopers of stortford website fir the dashcam thats £15, ebay for the memory card bout £3.50. i didnt have to pay postage for 2 dashcams.

Dashcams front and back of my primary motor, and just installed a dashcam and 32gb card on the Clio for less than £20 (And the wifes too) You just cant not do it for £20

Ive done them up 105n/m and they don't feel that tight to be honest Just a nadge tighter I suppose

drugs...... has to be with a Focus.......

Dont rear wheel spacers only add a bit of stability? I see some peeps put small spaccers on rear, and bigger on front

Check the cables from RHS fusebox are connected to battery as well as big chunky (Starter? ) cable Just swapped my battery for a new BOSCH, and for half hour couldnt suss out why sweet FA was happening. Not even lights and i had a good 12v. I'd left those cables off Happy days now, started...

Just bought set of 20mm spacers for rear of my 172, with extended bolts. Hubcentric, £35.

That's naff. But I quite like the original badge so mine will be taken off, sprayed black or blue to match the decals, and refitted. Hope you catch the guys... pop down the local boozer and hear them bragging, and comparing badges. Then seek your own retribution...

Go Karlos. good luck.

Not sure- which bit is the damper. The threaded long bit which is adjustable in and out with a spring clip, or the fatter tubular thing just behind it. Thats why i called them, assumed they were experts. Cant see how i got so much trouble over a bleeding cable..... still (lol) all seems good...

Just bought a BOSCH S3 battery 45amp/hour and 400 cold crank for £45 Eurocarparts 3 year warranty, and 30 day return

Probably about 3 inches, so cut it back another Inch and a half. The steel cable was the same length as OEM, as we put them side by side Obvs couldnt compare both outer sheaths, as OEM is still routed through the car and staying in situ Any more problems, and suppose I have no other option...

Realise there are lots threads on this, just uploading my experience with this over last few days. Clio wouldn start first thing in morning during the week, but there was a heavy frost. Came home that night to try fix, and accelerator pedal lying on the carpet. Realised that the cable had...

Yes. RAC man just telling me about crank sensor- or the battery on way out. As my old Mum says, always have a good strong battery at the heart of every car

very nice-welcome to the Club

Hope so. Earth faults seem to be common on these My accelerator cable just snapped...... :-( Common fault too I believe- stuck on the drive Love working on cars in the summer, with a cool cider on tap Not in freezing winter. LOL Looks like I couldn't do Lydden on Saturday anyway, now :-)

<3 silverstone. Some FAB motors there

Any hints on cleaning the throttle body (Cable type) Looks like gotta take that apart at weeken Wifey will be happy.....
