    Clio 172's

    I'm sure we have a thread dedicated to "Cup Culling Season" Every time the white stuff rears it's head lol In all honesty you won't notice a difference, Between the PH2 I've drove and the PH1 with no aircon and cup suspension the difference is negligible - My PH1 feels a little more raw at best...

    OK Diner Mini Meet

    Arg man, how come the PH1 is always broken when it's something I can actually get to in decent time ! p.s Try the waffle stacks, they are unreal !

    Quick bit of help... anyone gone to Apple store for iPhone help?

    As above, I've been in on 3 different occasions and just had the phone replaced there and then (For a rattling lens no less)

    2001 172 - cruise control?

    I've recently did this on my 52 plate, I believe the steering column required extra loom for the buttons that may or may not already be there.

    Radiator Plug Help

    Hi all A flamer project I recently obtained had a leaking radiator, after checking it appears the drain plug was over tightened and it split the thread in half causing a leak, I checked the local scrap yards and they are all 1.2's which does not appear to have said plug ? You can see which...

    Non a/c kit - PH1

    For me, cheaper belt changes plus removal of something that wasn't working/will never be used - plus in a silver car it really don't get that hot inside :) In a black car it's mandatory imo

    Non a/c kit - PH1

    Should just be a straight swap, I've got it fitted to mine but it has a more recent engine

    Ph1 or 172 cup

    While I do like having the aircon in the heat we have had recently (Sport PH2) I always prefer driving the PH1 with cup aux setup - No idea why but it just feel's more special and raw.

    Bren's Sunflower 172 - Engine Rebuild

    So was it a dodgy ECU in the end ? Mines doing the exact same thing, fairly sure it's not the loom or relays.

    Cannot get front discs off

    It depends who tightened them up last ;) Mine where fairly loose where as my mates megane's where almost welded to the disc

    Cannot get front discs off

    Leverage is always your friend with these, I normally stick a screwdriver in the grooves and rest against the calliper and pop an extension bar on a wrench.

    No acceleration

    I'd suggest you find the propper torque for those bolts mate, you really don't want that rattling off mid flight.

    Check out the filler on this......

    Such a shame with that colour, given some time it could be rescued though.

    PC sounds a bit funny - Is disc drive shagged?

    The missus had a one like this before with Itunes, deleted and recopied fine - Disc might need a wipe perhaps ? Could always try a lens cleaner

    Format disk recovery

    Would be interested to see what people use as well, not something I've looked into but really should. Best of luck with the data, you didn't happen to take a backup before the format by any chance ? :P

    F4R Workshop Manual

    Hi, All Does anybody know if the piston ring tolerances are in the workshop manuals ? I've trawled through the 5 or so I have but can't find any mention. On that note, does anybody know what they should be on a standard engine :rasp: Cheers Paul

    Scott. Nimbus > Everything Project Log.

    If you don't mind me asking mate, what camera do you use - those are some crazy quality photos ! Are they raw or touched up slightly ?

    How Loyal Are You?

    Bingo. Exact same view, I've no affiliation with apple at all - When another company does it better I'll get their product and so on. I've never felt inclined to go out and buy a mac now I have an IPhone. I have mates who seem to be "collecting" products though, Unsure as to why. If my 3G was...

    Building a track car

    They are very capable track cars in standard guise, just keep on top of parts as they are quite high maintenance (Specially when it comes to servicing).

    Windows 8 Whos tryed it ?

    I took it into work on a VM and asked the entire team (I work in IT) to perform one simple task... Turn it off. After 15 mins of head scratching the battery was pulled and the laptop undocked ;) In it's current form I have no interest in using it again.

    Went through Puddle Car wont Start again!

    Last mine sat and clicked, the loom to the TDC was fubar - Water and all, it's worth a try replacing it before going down the new lump route. Said sensor, it's on the top of the gearbox where it meets the block. 2 Bolts.

    Rocket gasket - one for the pro's (although all advice appreciated)

    lol believe it or not that's what my PH1 looks like at the moment with a phantom wiring issue ! If I think back (WAAAAAY back) when I had my 1.2 8v - I think the fuel line sits just above the inlet manifold, so they may come apart. You not got any mates who works for a garage ? it's not one of...

    Rocket gasket - one for the pro's (although all advice appreciated)

    The fuel line is sealed ;) Just be careful not to hit it with a spanner as they are quite fragile. You can see the one in the F4R above, it's the black strip below the metal inlet on the front

    Rocket gasket - one for the pro's (although all advice appreciated)

    The amount lost does seem excessive, the inlet manifold provides channels into each cylinder for the fuel and air mix, one side will have the cylinder head and one side will have the throttle body that controls the availability of air, the more air available the more fuel mixed (Basically...

    Rocket gasket - one for the pro's (although all advice appreciated)

    Got to love videos ;) This will help you with some of the bit's - also gives some insight into what's behind some of the plastics, the inlet manifold you can make out now.

    Rocket gasket - one for the pro's (although all advice appreciated)

    That's the intake manifold, I can't quite make out from the picture if the fuel rail is attached to it (The sport's is split into 2 and it connect's to the bottom half) If it is be very cautious with it lol Your best bet is to get your hands on a workshop manual or a haynes, it will give you...

    Rocket gasket - one for the pro's (although all advice appreciated)

    Look's much of the same mate with the above, just has a different manifold :) I'd start with the easy bits, filter, intake bend, HT leads, coil pack, throttle body, manifold cover, manifold itself then you can remove the manifold and probably just push the rest to the side. I don't think you...
