fitted a mapco gearbox selector seal and replaced the gearbox oil. jesus the oil filler bung is in a god awful awkward place. ended up using a funnel and a length of pipe i found. those nozzles they give you on the 1 litre oil bottles are pants!

ive had eibach and amax springs in the past. out of the two id rather use amax. they gave a lower drop than the eibachs and at a much better price. id defo use them again if i didnt already have coilovers. theyre basically apex springs but cheaper and rebranded for euro car parts. id stick with...

sorry dude my bad on the regcheck.... its the other way round - basic A123ABC to 78888.

looks tidy. make sure its got an actual receipt for the belt and dephaser rather than a rubber stamp job. looks like a cup to me, no hids, no windscreen sensor, right colour wheels, no engine cover, cup spoiler etc. get a check done to see if its been involved in an accident aswell. i use...

if theres no receipt take it as not being done

im waiting on a guy whos supposed to be buying my cup. ill know if he wants it by tomorrow and if not ill be breaking it

im looking for evo seats atm. cheaper alternative than trophies. some went on ebay the other day for £250 but missed the auction end. wounded

you can program a key just to start the car or a full remote job. obviously the non remote one will require door lock access (if you plan locking it) and most clios have one lock on the pass side of the car lol so thats a bit ass. as a guide we charge £40 for a non remote ignition key and £95...

that blue ford focus is pulling out of tesco metro car park in my town. its a bloody nightmare to pull out of because its so close to the roundabout so you see that quite regular

this. i just purchased the longer drivers side one for my cup last week - complete pipe all pre-bent into the right shape from caliper to centre flexi - £25 all in.

way overpriced dude. thats reasonable if its low mileage in mint condition with belts done but without belts its a £1500 car max for reference i drive a 52 plate iceberg 172 with previous belt done on 57,000 and i paid £1200. bar stonechips its a 8.5/10 car

autodata method assuming you have a mk2 ph2 1/ close doors 2/ press and hold vehicle central 3 locking dash switch for more than 2 secs (led on clocks should illuminate) and doors should lock and unlock 3/ press remote button (led should extinguish = key sync'd) 4/ repeat for spare keys if the...

looks tidy mate. got any plans for it?

wounded. what have you bought to replace it dude? personally i think the fact that you still get 3 weeks with it is a bad thing lol. itll chew on you like hell till its gone and youll be doubting yourself all over the shop

have a nice day

yeah but i said if he had an amp, so cost wouldnt be £100 would it, cost would be zero. an amp uses phono inputs, seen plenty of cars that have an iphone etc linked straight to it over a headunit. my mates show car bmw has an ipad for a headunit. terrible advice is tip-exing a f4r cam belt...

£100 for an amp? maybe in 1995 before ebay or gumtree existed. for a 2nd hand one £25/£35 tops. theres more than one way of doing things and i assumed the ' scrapper ' comment meant his head unit was busted. *sigh* some people have ZERO internet manners on forums.

if you have an amp you could use an aux to phono cable lead, plug into the amp and wire the amp to the speakers via the radio iso plug. thats one way anyway...

actually looking at nathans above i can see what you mean now. couldnt see that twang in the paint with dull carpark lighting around it. looks cool! icebergs still a clean colour though ;-)

actually no?!? just carpark light. looks like a normal silver without the blue twang that iceberg has... what am i missing lol

ha ha thats a very good reply... you git. silver is a good base for a clean looking car though...iceberg for me has more twang to it than titanium, although ill admit there are better colours. flame is a good un

iceberg ftw

possibly pal depends on whether its a sealed chip (resin around the copper conductor on the chip) or unsealed. resin ones are better to solder

its always a let down in situations like this, but realistically £1200 odd quid wont get you a 172 with belts and dephaser done, so provided the cars tidy in all other aspects id get it done myself. what mileage has it done?

imo tints on small hatchbacks are best left to the corsa c sxi domain (with 4" exhaust) ;-) no seriously it looks good on a lot of vehicles (4x4s, big saloons etc) but a clio isnt one of them. its hard enough trying not to look like a chav in a standard clio with factory alloys on.....

i know.... i just pointed out why squeezing it gets it working again

wow that looks great in all colours! 6 (blue) and 7 (yellow) look awesome

the philips transponder chip is fixed to the remote board and can come loose on the solder joints. if youre squuezing it and its working id almost definitely put it down to this. we get this all the time at my work and resolve it by coding a new chip, placing it in the key and the...

yes all sorted now thanks mate - defo was worth you noting that the 2 bolts that come off to hold the vac bracket on have 2 more bolts hidden underneath! didnt see them lol #crafty

shouldnt need clip if its a cup should i? its non abs?
