Wouldn't have thought it would cause the car to fail as long as the emmisions are okay, probably just be an advisory. BTW you can pick up the tools to reset engine/dashboard lights for 20 squid off ebay

tupac - I meant the "cylinder block drian plug". Yeah but bleeding the system is important too!

When i did mine i just unplugged the bottom radiator hose and the majority will drain out. If you want to do it 100% properly then your supposed to undo a plug from the engine i think But i cant remeber what its called.

You can buy film to go over them not sure how that would look though

Thanks Edde just For everyones information dont buy cheap Gear oil its crap! I'm gunna have to buy some ATF i think any particular brand to go for? Not gunna skimp this time.

As title suggests, what does everyone reckon? Cheers

Loss of backpressure will lose you bottom down power but top end power will improve. (or so i understand/heard)

I think all you remappers are worried your going to lose your business ;). To be honest with you i cant see why this would be any different to what you guys do AND for half the price you have a piece of software you can do other peoples cars get fault codes etc (you could probably make your...

I dont understand, how you ever gunna learn if you dont do it yourself. I always have a stab at something even if im not sure. But fair enough maybe that rule is applicable for mates lol.

Sounds like the rad fan isnt kicking in, might be worth letting the engine idle and look under the bonnet to see if its coming on.

Does the american brand NOS bottles have a pie mark on them so i can get them filled easily over here does anyone know? No point paying for a kit if i cant fill it up really, although i spose it would look nice. Muchos Regards

Should be fine with the old bolts connections... Mine was fine on a 54 plate, the main reason i changed was because id imagine that a new cat from renault costs a bomb plus it sounds a bit raspier aswell, couldnt say about power as i put it on there as soon as i bought it without really driving...

Yeah thats right your sposed to.... although i have taken mine of 3 times and used same gaskets without a problem

kwliooo, thanks for your help.

Oh dear that doesnt sound to good then lol, even with a small increase? To be fair i wouldnt use it often. But am i correct in thinking a dry kit is just a standalone system and doesnt add fuel then?

Only looking for a small increase in power say 25BHP, Will i be okay with just a dry kit and relying on the knock sensor to add extra fuel. I dont fancy installing a wet kit with the effort of tapping into the fuel line etc etc.... Umm any thoughts opinions valued ta :)

ill show you my bodge job :D http://i210.photobucket.com/albums/bb239/mattjk88/19092007255.jpg What you think lol

Which is why i have to reasonable and responsible, i probably drive slower than the majority of people on here. But its just nice to have a bit of extra poke when needed :)

Valid point lol, its behind the block anyway so it wouldnt be visible. ah well ill have a play when i get home and see how it goes, cheers.

Thats cool, thankyou for the detailed explantion!! But surely if it blows out rather than suck then why would you need a filter? I may just cut the pipe and cable tie some foam over it.

sweet as a nut. next mod then lol, i remeber reading it wil need to be plugged back in for the MOT though yeah?

What do i do to stop the oil breather pipe then just get one of those mini filters from halfords and block the hole in the induction pipe?

im 19 and i pay 1900 TPFT on a 182, Crazy i know

A decat is just a straight through pipe, just buy the cheapest

I bet you its the power steering pump, turn it on full lock with the engine running and have a mate listen under the engine if its not doing it then i would look at the cv joint. But my moneys on the p/s pump

This day and age i dont see much point in injector petrol treatments. Maybe back in the 70s or something but petrol has become much cleaner/effecient with added detergents now... But it wont do any harm aslong as it says safe for cats.

I have to concur with the others, capacitors are a complete waste of time. They do look nice though. Best bet is a higher powered alternator/battery.

I drained a ford focus not so long back, just disconnected the hose that goes to the fuel filter put the end in a jerry can and kept turning the ignition on and off it didnt take to long to empty 3/4 of a tank but it would be much quicker to just connect a battery to the pump terminals, but i...

I have sportlines fitted and i am very happy with them so far, my only niggle is that the back doesnt seem as low as the front, but i have been told they should settle after time. Ride quality is still spot on and lots less body roll. A worthy mod **Didnt notice it was for a 1.2 sorry** Matt

Thats great mate im sure alot of people will find this useful, as i have always said alarms are a waste of time so if mine starts to malfunction i know how to sort it out. Many thanks
