    For any1 who wants OZ Ultralegerras

    Just popped in to Halfords and they have some discounts on. 16" with tyres are £524.99 which is less than the 15" ones. IMO a much better and lighter wheel than Turini, being far less common and available in Silver or Graphite. On the till they come up at £629.99 so asked the sales...

    Oil!

    I have never had a problem using Forte oil flush and my car was on 117k before new engine fitted. Will continue to use it in the new one. Can't see why you would change oil for new oil and possibly have some sludge still in there.

    5w50 fully synth in a 182?

    Never seen a 5w50. Only seen 5w40 and 15w50. You don't really need to go as high as 50, 40 is fine. and 0w is apparently too low for UK so 5w is fine.... hence 5w40 is what most people need unless you have new VW's etc taht require 0w30. Just read some oilman posts and you will find out...

    Valver Oil!

    Oil should be changed every 6k. You can use either a semi synthetic or fully synthetic. I have owned my valver since 44k and now on 118k. I used to get oil done at National Tyres as they did filter and Duckhams QXR semi for 15 quid. Total 7000 semi or 9000 which you can get from GSF with...

    Valver head work........

    You should be nearer 160 I would have thought as I am running 148 with just Magnex inc Decat, BMC CDA and BBPT superchip. Maybe more now with a supersprint manifold but not rr ing again just to see with 2 litre imminent. Would have thought headwork and cams would see you to the extra 10bhp...

    Quick question about PAC codes on mobiles

    Think PAC code is only valid for 30 days or something (operator will confirm) so if you don't transfer accross in 30 days or whatever it says on your letter you remain with them until you advise that you want PAC code again.

    MOT Fail - help/advice needed??

    Check GSF for prices. I had a ball joint with play and TBH the cost of whole lower arm inc ball joint wasn't much more than the ball joint itself so got that done. Less than 1 hour labour. Might be worth you fitting both as if a bush has gone, who's to say next year it won't be the ball...

    Finally settled on my choosen waxes....

    Have a Blue Valver and Silver Polo and looking for new Wax. Heard the Nutty's Blue was good for Blue Cars. Is P21 better? Or just more useable with Silver too? Which Souverans is this? Noticed Signature Series on offer at £16.50...

    rack or column

    PS my MOT failure stated the steering column had play and steering rack was deformed..... All I did was replace the column and then it passed.

    rack or column

    My £30 weld broke within 3 months. Its all down to who welds it as some won't go near. Was quoted £170 inc VAT from Renault but got them down to £140. My old one is off and I can get that properly welded from a propshaft place in Cov for £25. Probably as good as new if you get welded...

    hybrid hesitent/stuttering, misfiring? at low rev's

    After a few problems with my Valver cold starting I was thinking it was electrical. Had to call Green Flag out the other day and even though the guy nearly gave up he did find the "auto choke" or whatever it is called, butterfly type thing other side of throttle cable on throttle body inlet...

    Best suspension for a Clio valver

    Have FK Automotive Highsports on mine. Had them 3 years and they are very good quality. Cost me £402 plus VAT but they are much cheaper now. Although I did get free fitting at the time. 2modified sells the Williams ones for £350 and I think Valver ones are slightly cheaper. Lifetime...

    182 crash

    I'd be careful. 2 years ago I was shunted from behind waiting at a junction when the car behind me thought I was going to go and there was traffic from stopping me thatthey couldn't see. Other than being shaken, was ok that day but sufferd 2 weeks of back and neck pain that stopped me from...

    16v Steering Rack

    All depends on who welds it. My weld broke after 3 months so 30 quid wasted. New column I got knocked done to £140 at Renault. List was £170. Removal and fitting is awkward to say the least. Ratchet spanner was a godsend. If you know someone who is good at welding take it to them. If...

    Vodafone Shop.

    Thought o2 was Uk when you phoned. Do work for Airwave (part of o2). Double minutes and double texts offer seems good too but I get 50 per cent off line rental which helps. And o2 customers will get priority to events at the Dome when it opens as the o2....

    16v Steering Rack

    My weld was visible come MOT time as it had broken and drew attention because of the play. Ended up fitting a new one. Depends on the quality of welder. With SC on car you cannot really get to it all to weld easily like you can off the car. Was gonna get my old one welded up properly at...

    what the hell is a Ecotek valve

    Mine gives me more mpg, you can tell by your fuel gauge and trip.... As for any other claims, can't comment as would need RR with before and after and that's not why I got mine. Fuel savings alone are good over the years i've had mine fitted as per Nick Read's guide.

    Mk 1 Clio 1.8 16v vs. Williams

    Had my Valver for 5 years. Liked the Williams but not the Insurance group. Most Valver owners who quest more power get a 2 litre in, call it a hybrid, and tend not to disclose to the insurance co so its still Group 11/12 insurance. Depends if you can get away with it and don't mind your...

    What else is worth getting

    Was referring to the wonder glass stuff from same people as wonder wheels. Not used the autoglym stuff yet. Thanks for the info. Is it worth getting a proper wax in a tub rtahe rthan a liquid wax as both the gold class and stage 3 are liquid types. Thinking P21s or similar. No-one...

    Changing PAS Fluid

    Crap in the fluid puts more wear on the PAS components, hence being a good idea to change periodically. Just like the gearbox oil. Not sure what Haynes states for renewal as its not as often as other fluids but still a good reason to check and do such a procedure if you feel its required...
