These are the probs (any answers and prices to put right please);
Dash lights come on for no reason, engine temp, oil, battery, fuel. The engine is good and runs well so whats the deal?
The rear needs bringing level as it is lower than the front.
The thermostat switch needs replacing as...
Humms louder as speed increases. Comes from rear drivers side wheel on my Mk3 Golf (2nd car). The wheel doesnt move if wobbled or pull to 1 side when braking but the noise becomes apparent at 30mph and louder the faster u go. No steering vibration and wheel nuts seem tight.
What is it?
Can i...
I want something tunable which means turbo but am only 18 so really only gives me the choice of an R5 (too unreliable) Starlet/Charade/Uno turbo (all ugly) or the Fiesta RS Turbo which can be modded to look good.
I dont know whether i should sell mine for 1 though.
I could put nearly 2k into...
I have a Clio 16v which has an anti-corrosion warrenty till October this year. 1 of my rear quarter panels has bubbling paint from the lower part of the arch caused by rust coming through.
So surly this is covered in the gaurentee, only im guessing they can worm out of replacing the panel some...
FAO Mk1 Clio owners;
Not life or death but as annoying as sticking pins in ur eyes;
Rattle coming from boot lid, behind plastic bit. Checked the bulbs and rear wiper and had some 1 crawling about in the back to try and find it with no luck.
Any 1 had this typical French problem who can...
So wasnt Sunday the first drag strip session for ur Clio Turbo?
Howd it go? I think we all want to c some pitures of it, i know i do. Plus are u planning on sorting this site out; http://www.nickread.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/http://www.nickread.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ and having all ur Turbo info up...
The most car factories do is 60 mm but i wanna slip it over the original air box cold air feed and right up to my PiperX.
Any1 know what i can use? Thanx.
Not this 1 u wont!
Top Gear recently performance tested the Ferrari Enzo and got a best of 4.02 to 60!
Well this Capri does it in 3.7:

Engine? Weight? Chassis? Suspension?
Ive thought the VTS is quicker from racing both but figures are identical. So what are the differences? :confused:
I know that the Clio 16v phase 2 shares the same alloys with R19 16vs & some Meganes BUT;
Does any1 know the exact ages of the cars which carry the same alloys including the same smooth centre caps (not the later Meganes with a pattern on the caps); expert needed. Thanx. Mikey.
Should i sacrifice low down pull with my standard air box for the awesome sucking and deep induction roar my PiperX IK gives me?
Basically ive come to the decision that the IK is better over 60mph & the original box is the same through 1st & 2nd up to 60, BUT the power band is SO high up the...
Mine sometimes struggles to go in first and can be a little notchy, it never grinds or completly fails to go in gear so i doubt its either my clutch or gearbox, so am guessing it is my gear linkage although other times it can be fine. :confused:
Usually does it when engine is warm (not always...
Do they blast down the inside of the rim then powder coat it & laquer it or just the outside?
Any1 had theirs done who can answer? Because i need mine doing to get rid of the slow air leak caused by flaky paint on seal with tyre apparently. Thanx, Mikey.
Need my alloys re-furbed but dont want it off-road while im waiting so thinking about putting my mates RS Turbo 14 inch wheels on.
Question is will they fit? Cheers, Mikey.
Cant find ANY that work! Any1 help me out?
Ive got some good 1s of me racing a Fiesta RS Turbo but still waiting for the Camcorder software! :cry:
Must be some road racing vids of 16valves on some1s hard drive, if not we need to get some up. Whos with me?
Now besides the 2lt producing more torque, why is it that the 1800 said to put out the same BHP as the 2lt once the following engine mods have been carried out:
Gas flowed head & manifolds to match, fast road cams, vernier pullies, superchip, IK, Xorst & de-cat?
Now this work puts out over...
Just been informed by a user that the leak near my downpipe plastic cover (underneath the engine bay) is actually gearbox oil. Has any1 had this problem? Any1 know where the leak is probably from? Any1 had theirs fixed?
Could this explain my gears becoming stiffer to change?
Thanx
Original phase 2s apprently need this done to stop tyre pressure slowly falling. Who actually can do this work?
Some garages have told me WHEELBASE, so rang them & they said they dont do it & didnt seem to know anything about it. Any1 know anything? :confused:

This car looks the perfect ride height, how low is it front & rear? Cheers.
Can i use paint thinners (white spirits) on the neddle to release any blockages that may be causing it?
Ill use switch cleaner on the contacts too but would imagine its some greese or sommat causing an obstruction. Cheers.
