Unfortunately I’ve had my family car in the garage recently which meant I couldn’t really buy any coilovers until I knew the cost of the repair. Got the bill. Good news is is that my original budget of £1000 still stands and I can get looking again! So many choices and good and bad reviews on...

I’ll be coming along to watch! Would be nice to see some others from here.

Could be keen! Would be nice if some locals came out

Finally got some time to get the car jacked up and get at the lambda sensors. Bought a pair of genuine Bosch items to replace with as this was the recommendation of many people. The old ones came off surprising easy (only smashed my knuckles once). The post cat sensor looked ok I reckon...

All stripped down early this morning ready to get underway with changing my spark plugs and printing my inlet. Once the various sensors and tubes were removed from the upper inlet I spotted the area around this seal that looked as though it may of been blowing slightly. Just aswell I’ve got a...

So the consensus is BC BR from that. Or 750 mc Ktec coilover. I’ll look at both and see what I decide on.

As per title. My Ktec coilovers (not 750MC) have shat the selves as I suspect the plastic grit guards went brittle and cracked off as I can no longer see them! Looking for suggestions for around £1000. Ideally looking at road and track use. Want some full coilovers but the type with helper...

So got a bit bored recently so set about painting my door bullets to match my mirror caps and badges. Really pleased with the results! Below is my new stockpile of parts/service goodies I need to sort! Fresh coolant (Renault type d), oil (Petronas 5w40 full syn), Renault filter, spark plugs...

Children will change things for sure but what a joy it is! I have 4 so that probably explains some of my lack of upgrades etc. Car spec looks awesome. Bet it’s a beast on track!

@GrahamV182 ?‍♀️

Just read the whole thread. Really like the attention to detail and all the mods are really what I’m looking into myself. Full belts, aux and pump etc are on the list as I want some peace of mind on that side of things. Trying to find a place I feel I can trust close by is looking tough. Keep up...

Thanks @Darren61 Glad you like the read. It’s hard because I always read other threads from people smashing out loads of awesome stuff and getting really stuck in then there’s me pootling along with relatively menial things. Got big plans but need time/money/knowledge. ?

@GrahamV182 just read the entire thread. WOW. Really really like the progress and things you’ve done. I would love to get mine up to a standard/spec like this but I’m far to nervous to try and do a lot of what you’ve done! A cage and buckets is high on my list. Yours is a safety devices R017...

So whilst browsing the Facebook pages I stumbled on this! Looked to nice to pass up and not really seen one before so thought why not! You can see in the pictures below of before and after fitting. Makes the bay look loads better IMHO. Next up was polishing and protecting my headlights. I...

Brilliant to hear. Thinking two is definitely the better option. Just get them both refreshed for peace of mind!

Just one other question. There is another Bosch lambda on the page that is £50 odd. How come? I supppose the one you linked on other post £30 odd will do both pre and post cat?

Brilliant. Found the link posted by yourself! Car tech price looks unreal. It’s crazy when places like Ktec are selling lambdas.at £90!!!!’

Thanks for the advice! Any idea on best place to get them. Assume Bosch is good idea to get?

It did ..... just! So just the front one should do it? As said the code was related to a lambda sensor so hoping nothing else is wrong.

So I recently fitted a sports cat to my car but used the old sensors (182). During mot when it was going on the emissions tests it threw an EM light up. Codes say a sensor issue. Cant remember the code unfortunately. Deleted the code and the light stayed off until the car was left on idle the...

I recently picked up a fabia splitter for £15.80 from the dealer. I’ve researched lots and love how much difference this cheap mod makes! Got around to fitting it last night then finishing up the ends today. Bumper removed. Did this as I am also going to polish my headlights (off the car) and...

Cheers for the replies. Went on amazon and found one advertised as nilfisk/alto so bought that and hey presto! Told AF and they actually do stock that one but it is labelled as a gerni fit!!! They said they recommend checking the lance then the pics to match. I assumed they would have the...

A friend got the car in at the garage he works near. He’s had his Clio work done with them since he’s had his so I trusted his recommendation. This may explain the creaking I had. Shame as I had only fitted the new OE top mounts a few months prior. I think I must of had something wonky or...

Been a while and nothing much has really happened unfortunately. Child number 4 has arrived meaning car time has been reduced a fair bit! Did manage to give the car a good clean and wax. Certainly shined up nice! Cleaned the Ktec air filter out and re oiled. The amount of dirt was pretty...

So I’ve recently picked up this https://www.argos.co.uk/product/8043069 I bought a auto finesse snow foam lance with a nilfisk/alto adaptor. But I’ve recieved the lance and the adaptor diameter on the section with the lugs (see attached image) makes the fit into the lance way to tight meaning...

Cheers guys!

What does/did this bracket do? Doesn’t look to have anything attached.

What does “group n” timing mean and entail? Not the most up on knowledge just yet I’m afraid!

Thanks to everyone for the replies and advice. After giving it some thought I’ve opted to get a sports cat for the car. Hopefully it will still be raspy enough as I really do like the sound!

Thank you very much for that info. My thoughts exactly regarding the cheap to swap out etc. Really useful stuff about the lambda aswell. Fingers crossed it arrives soon, can’t wait for some rasp!!!!
