No he will mean the olive joint at the cat nearer to the front

Lol I can't help but laugh at this and I know I shouldn't. But if the car is stationary, the brakes won't squeak, as they aren't doing anything. But, in answer to your problem of brakes squeaking when moving, it's probably because of a number of things Really cheap nasty pads Race pads that...

I think 197s started in late 2006 and was replaced with the 200 in 2009. I've had 182 and 172s for years, but the issues with the 197 and 200s puts me off so never bothered with em.

If their anything like the rears they are that tight a fit, the bolt is basically pointless anyway. Never done a front one, but the rears are impossible to remove without damaging the sensor as it's that tight a fit.

Sounds like my mot last week after fitting a 421 Mani on the civic lol.

Ah, yeh, got it lol

What's an ice car?

I can't see how it could be leaking gearbox oil high up where it joints the block, as the bell housing doesn't contain any oil, just the input shaft, but if it was leaking from there the oil would be coming out of the bottom of the bell housing, not high up.

Nah civic fn2

Prices change aLL the time. A couple of weeks ago I was offered 340 for one, and then last week I sold it for 385 to the same bloke.

I think all that spring does is makes it return to the centre when in neutral, but I suppose it could have got dislogded and stopping first. You could try undoing the selector rod pinch bolt and realigning just to make sure it's not the selector rod which has moved slightly. Mark it with tip...

I'd say that's a ktec stealth with a decat. Loud as hell. Been there done that. I bought a cats2u cat to quieten it down, even with the centre section is was a pain in th arse Hard to see from those pics mate, turn the flash on. As crually, looking at it, it does appear there is a cat there...

2 miles a month lol. I'd just walk and flog the car

Ah right, I assumed when you said you couldn't wait so ordered it you meant you'd ordered the gsf one as they are local lol

You ordered the gsf one? I don't think itl fit, you want the triscan one James linked to.

I heard that head gasket failure was a big issue on 06 clios, that 06 engine is shocking

Renault springs have a dot. Well, all the ones I've ever had did anyway on my 172 and 182

You might be able to get a custom sleeve made to fit it as it will be the wrong diameter, but I'm not sure if the 1.2 follows the same exhaust path under the car Probz not sound very good though, I wouldn't bother, just save for a 172, you can get them for next to nowt these days.

BG 182, first in about 2011 Current civic fn2

I bought a K2 last year, perfectly fine for washing the car. I think it's when you start trying to clean a full driveway etc they start to fail. Got a k7 at work and it's had some serious hammer and still going strong

I've just double checked his profile, it's defiantly an 06 Clio.

I would mount the exhaust first so it sits under the bumper and then work out the cut from there. My ktec exhaust came with an adjustable strap around the backbox so you could then alter the height

Yes we know it's a 2006 Clio! That could be a MK2 or MK3. Or it could be an early 197, could be a MK2 1.2 campus. What the hell is it?

Me too, the k20s take so well to boost, I'm sure people run like 350bhp on a standard block and internals.

I always used the chassis rail anyway, axel stands fit perfectly under them and it feels much more solid

I think options are so thin as taking off the original nob is a complete pain in the arse and usually comes down to hacksawing it off.

I did the same, was much easier than messing about with rivvets when wanting to give it a clean.

Haha I ended up with the exact same part left over last time around. I seem to remember it going on the end of that support bar that runs next to the battery from the ECU to the front but I never re fit it before selling the car, I believe it's still in my toolbox lol

Not running a cup brake setup isit? A ring that knackered I would have thought would be triggering the abs and you would be able to feel the feedback of the abs pump through the pedal.

Drop the subframe mate. I did it by just splitting the box and did it from above once and by the time I'd emptied the engine bay of everything in the way and manoivered the box into a place I could access the little bolts into the flywheel it would have been quicker to just drop the subframe...
