    Can these lead to mot fail?

    my TT had standard Xenons and the headlight washers were removed and blanked off. Car always passed its MOT right up until November last year. To the OP- LED sidelights are a grey area, what you class as white might not be to a tester, my white ones on the TT failed, 75p later I had standard...

    LeXusPourLeMans

    I grew up with these! My dad has been driving Lexus for as long as I can remember and he had an LS400 identical to this. Same "Jewish Racing Gold!" all I remember was the torque that Chip-mk1 talks of being unbelievable, push back in the seat sort of power and only being 10 at the time I thought...

    can any1 tell me what this is?

    As I said before, I have no idea where the sensor is on your car, I dont even know where it is on mine. It will be low down though. My old Audi TT had it in the bottom of the sump, you had to drop the oil to change it. I would expect the clio to have it around the oil filter area. Cant even...

    can any1 tell me what this is?

    It's 100% a suppressor, it's just there to neutralise the electrical noise that the coils produce. Without this gizmo, you'd probably find you got an engine speed related whine through the radio. It may be designed to earth through its mounting point. Then again, it may just normally be bolted...

    172 Cup dampers. Where from?

    This topic has been covered to death and I have been searching and reading a fair bit and have a couple of questions. My car was lowered badly and as a result my shocks have seen better days, my bump stops are warn as are my top mounts, everything still works...but it would benefit from a...

    can any1 tell me what this is?

    Going on what I know from my time on 106s...it looks like an interference blocker. The 1.1 106 has something similar and it simply prevents electronic interference from window wipers and stuff messing with the radio signal. That will have nothing to do with you oil light I don't think.

    can any1 tell me what this is?

    Not 100% sure on your engine. I don't even know where apt hinges are on my 2.0l sport. I'm new to these cars and learning as I go!! I'm sure someone will be along soon enough though. Try google for now, that might help!

    can any1 tell me what this is?

    While I'm here... Silly question... Have you checked you have enough oil?! If so, and there is oil, oil pressure and the pressure switch are all ok...have you looked at the oil level sensor? This is different to the pressure sensor. If it's bust it could be saying you have no oil and to stop! jack

    Real or fake?

    Oh yes they were, RipSpeed as well I will have you know! ;) They worked a charm with the the Blue LED foot well lights I had fitted in the front and rear..and boot! The gear knob had blue LEDs as well and i replaced all the interior bulbs with blue at the time! haha. It was my first car and I...

    What is a 'Top Shocker Mount & Bearing??

    Depends on how picky you are and if the car is your pride and joy or not. You could go the stealers (and yes, They would know what you are asking for if you said that!) but they will have your pants down for the price. Their mark up is often stupid, even with discount from Renault. I can get...

    Real or fake?

    Wont ever be as cool as mine in my old MK1 with its flashing blue LEDS! haha In all seriousness though, if its anything like the one i fitted to the mk1, you do need to butcher the knob off the shaft (oy oy! ;) ) and then the grub screws bit into the shaft nicely. I never had a problem with...

    200 Paint fell off. f**k SAKE.

    Gutted for you pal! :( Jet washes are more hassle than they are worth. Iv seen this happen to loads of people and experienced it with my TT. Chances are, like -J- said, its a stone chip thats lifted the paint off. Get on the internet and google body shops in your area, then read reviews and pop...

    What is a 'Top Shocker Mount & Bearing??

    Its depends on the condition. Its hard to say without seeing them...Normally I would say, while the shock absorber is off, get them done, but on the Clio I think they are around £50 a mount and £4 a bearing from Renault, and if they are just doing the one side its not really worth it. Ideally...

    What is a 'Top Shocker Mount & Bearing??

    its the rubber mount at the top of the shock and the bearing goes under it. Its parts 7 and 8 in the diagram below. 7 is the "top Mount" and 8 is the "Bearing" (Note that is a picture of an Audi A2 shock, not a clio!) They cause a knocking sound when they are badly worn out. Jack

    Tyre Speed and Load ratings

    the rears have loads of tread left...they are budgets mind you. I would get all 4 done at the same time if I wasn't planning on having the Cam belt, Aux and Dephaser all done next month, I cant bring my self to spend £1000 in one month on a car that cost me just over that 4 weeks ago! I will get...

    My TT QS

    I guess it depends what you need your tyres to do...I ran ZV5s on the TT 225 and had no issues in the wet or dry or even the snow for that matter. They were good levels of performance in all conditions for a sub £110 a corner tyre! I rate them more than the Toyo junk that is fitted to my clio at...

    I just like to be sure! ;) I will be getting all 4 done eventually so they all match, but fronts are the priority for now. Jack

    Anyone know this car?

    If you can get the MOT test number from the last mot or the VT30 Refusal Certificate number from the owner, you can then go to this site and look back at all the previous MOTs. http://motinfo.direct.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp if there has been anything wrong with...

    Tyre Speed and Load ratings

    In need of two new tyres for the clio. I have a 172 on the standard 172 16" wheels. The car currently has a mismatched pair of "Nankang nevergrips" and "Toyo Proxys" both with a different load and speed rating and low tread depths!... (Can you see why i want to change them now?!) What is the...

    DIY Induction - Oil Breather?

    This was how i use to run a catch can on the 106. One hose would run from the rocker cover into the catch can, the second hose ran from the catch can to the elbow on my induction kit. My Induction kit elbow had a hole to join the hose to like the Clios standard elbow does. Because you are...

    iPad air or iPad mini retina.

    Its a 1.8 inch difference diagonal I believe. So yes, closer to 2", I stand corrected! :p still think the mini is the better size for travel though, you can hold it in one hand and it packs away into my man bag no problem! Haha. Each to their own though, I used them both and even considered the...
