Right, thought i had sorted my issue but it ran fine for about 60 miles and its died again symptoms are it runs like a bag of spanners on idle, if you hold throttle at lowish revs it hunts a bit and feels hesitant but floor it and it seems to pull well and smoothly? so far i have (all to no...

I think I may of located my rattle from the front, on closer inspection, underneath the taped to protect the adjustment threads, my front nearside coilover strut has been weeping a bit of oil. I suspect its fubar now thing is they are only cheapy cheap ktec coilies so I don't want to be...

tried a search but too many hits :( whats the deal with arch liners, are they all the same for the sports? or are the phase 1 and phase 2 different, are the 172 and 182 different? ones i'm on about specifically are the front ones that connect to the bumper, but full rundown on the rest...

I know the subject of inlets has been covered multiple times but I cant find a definitive answer and I'm bored of the search function having spent the last 20 fruitless minutes attempting to figure it out for myself. basically I have a phase 1 172 (cable throttle) that I was going to remove...

Right, my daily 172 is getting to the end of its time with me, i toyed for a while with replacing it with a few other motors, something outside the clio world, but in the end after speaking to Dave88 (well moaning to him) about the lack of FF RB's up north, he mentioned Luke (The Boosh) was soon...
