    Handbrake locked on!

    We had a nissan sunny back in the day and it sat for a year, surprised it started 1st time but it wouldn't move, took some mighty wallops (full on barrel denting swings) to get it to break it's grip. My friends after a week away locked the rear's, few taps and 1st gear and away he went. Oh the...

    Handbrake locked on!

    This has happened to a few car's some friends and family have owned after sitting a while, shocking the drums and rocking the car worked. Probably not the best nor safest way to do it but it gets the job done.

    Fitted these washer jets

    Well picked 2 of these up today, look's smart on the bonnet and the spray coverage is great ! Cost about £8 total from the dealer and literally take's 5 min's to fit. Hose off, push old through, put new in, hose on. No adjustment needed (although I would be unsure how to adjust these) Great spot !

    Clio dCI, is it 100 or 80hp?

    100 has rear disks rather than drums IIRC And I would really get it on a machine or something to be sure it's that :)

    Icy

    Yeah Newcastle is very bad, I live on the coast that got hit pretty hard :( Using some rainsport's at the moment which are good for all weather. Still very easy to lose grip, nothing a dab of caution can't fix. On a side note wiper's make a difference, got some cheap flatblades and they snapped...

    182 Cup 16's

    I was originally using 195 on the front and when they burnt out I swapped to the 205's so i've kinda checked both side's of the water. I'll be selling in not too long so I will get a set of 15's and see how it responds :)

    182 Cup 16's

    I never did fully figure it out, it's consistent at 35 and I've had a fair few miles since the original post. I would agree with all of the above, the trip is probably reading it wrong and these alloys are pretty heavy so I can imagine a drop. I'm currently using £50 a week to do ~250 miles...

    want to change my rear bumper but need some advice

    Sorry just saw your update on this one, I got the exhaust for £130 from Rich_16_valver on here (Don't think he is on often any more) the rear bumper cost me £60 on the bay and the spray cost me £40 (Uncle has a bodyshop) The rear hanger and paste cost the rest :)

    Is it really neccesary to saw the exhaust?

    I had this problem with mine, remove the bolts from the top of the rear dampers and drop the rear axle. Only way, I sawed mine off as the damper bolts where stubborn so I gave up and got my "tool"

    Rear Barrel Missing Something ?

    Just to give more info on this, i've found a pic below. This guy seems to have the same problems as you can see the rubbing on the metal, not all clio's do this so i'm unsure why mine does. I applied copper grease (Very carefully) but that wore off after a week of using the brake's. It's really...

    Whats the verdict here?

    Atleast nobody was hurt, I'm sure the insurance companies say as there number one rule never claim liability at the scene. My qwinn tax disk holder has it listed as point 1 of do not's but it would be her word against your's if you have no proof sadly. Can you not settle with the lady privately...

    Ebay bargain or con?

    Deffo the HDD, seem's very cheap for WD though. Perhaps it's clearance or something. Saying that the item location is China so perhaps a knock off ? "What's in the box Ultra-portable hard drive, WD SmartWare software, USB cable, Quick Install Guide."

    Center Section Diameters

    I'm having problems finding a center piece that fit's, the current straight through is 50mm in diameter but lacks the length that connects to the 1.4 Cat (The style with the lip and clamp) Does anybody know what I could chop up to use that will fit ? really struggling :(
