Ah, I see. Those Eero mesh routers are amazing, so if I moved from Virgin, I'd definitely use them. Although I understand some companies provide them, so wait and see what you get.

Bin the high speed off, get the M125 and buy a couple of Wifi-6 routers like Eero 6+. I stream everywhere in the house, with multiple TVs on at once, and music in other rooms. Never an issue. It's their shitty hardware that's the problem.

Welcome. I’ve had 3 x 182s over a six year period. One a track car. Never had a broken gearbox. On saying that, I’ve never made it a habit of trying launch control in Tesco’s car park. I guess if a gearbox is out of a car and you don’t know its history, stripping it down is the best way to...

From memory they were different lengths so rather than me c**k it up, here’s the diagram with part numbers to help you. I remember having to retap a thread in one of the brackets as it was cross threaded and that bolt was M8 x 75 mm x 1.25. But as I said, they’re slightly different lengths.

I'm with the RAC but am seriously thinking of binning them after your saga. What a carry-on!

Yours is the best one on here IMHO. Goals.....

When you realise the OP was talking about Nick's engine.

TBF i had my engine out on the above picture. I used a degreaser to wash all the oil off, then painted the block with Black VHT paint, touched the rocker cover up with VHT Silver paint (using artist brushes) and had everything else aqua blasted. On the plastics I just used a degreaser, then back...

Check these plugs under both seats. Leave engine running so you can see serv and airbag light, then disconnect and reconnect the plugs. See if that fixes it. Could be a bad contact. Give us some feedback 👍

standard front seats ?

Aye, the majority of the ones I went to see a few years back when buying my RB had early signs of rot. 3 years prior to that, circa 2017, my other 2 were just scabby, so easy enough to save. Nearly 19 years old now so it's a bit of a lottery unless you know what to look out for. For track use...

Op wants to do the odd trackday. Strongflex are a good alternative to powerflex. Probably as cheap as OEM equivalents.

Get Starmer on the phone, he’ll sort it out.

Daft question, You are putting the battery tray back in?

Just wracking my brain as to whether there’s a metal spacer or washer at the bottom. I don't think it did tbh. Here’s my installation Mine had a washer above the nut. No issues with play.

There was a nice 197 Road legal race car on https://racecarsdirect.com/Advert/Details/136832/renault-clio-200-race-car I'm more up on 182s so not totally familiar with the 197/200, but it looks like a good spec.

Will look out for these thank you 🙏 Can you see the images?

I had some pics on my phone when I first bought them. So these are the original 16” Turinis with Cup offset - 16x7 4x100 et 38.5 as found on 172 Cup models. You can see the marking on the front near the valve, then the other markings to the rear of the rim and centre. They were a bit rough...

Yeah. It’s recommended to use 2700 which isn’t a permanent bond, but enough to stop them vibrating out. Just tighten them to 20Nm and they’ll crack off when it come to removing. It’s never happened to me, but I’ve heard stories of people loosening the studs if the nuts get crusty, usually with...

Correct! When the holes aren’t big enough on front discs, it’s recommended to drill them out so the disc slides over the stud shank.

Yeah that’ll suit most tyres. I ran Yokohama 50s which have a reinforce carcass and they worked great with -3.4. Then stuck some A052s on without readjusting the camber down to -2.5 and got spectacular results 🫣.

He mentioned the stud shank or shoulder/knob/wide as he refers to it.

Some tyres can’t handle anymore camber than what you’ve already got. It depends on what you’re trying to do.

These are right. It’s there to prevent the stud touching the hub. Just make sure that there’s clearance. The loctite 2700 isn’t permanent so you’ll be able to take off easily enough. Just nip up to 20Nm.

Mine are going in for a refurb in the morning so I'll take some pictures for you of the markings. Mine are 172 CUP 38.5 offset.
