    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    Salvage rebuild uk. Just a bloke from Essex who buys written off cars and rebuilds/sells them. Basically just using his phone so low production values but I find it interesting.

    This just fell off my 182? Any ideas?

    Doesn’t have guides the tension/other pulleys keep it aligned.

    Something let go this morning

    iirc speed sensor, JC5-130 on the 182 and 172 cruise control models.

    This just fell off my 182? Any ideas?

    Just get it recovered to the garage, AA and the like have options for home cover or get someone with a trailer/van.

    This just fell off my 182? Any ideas?

    IIRC the top aux tensioner is plastic not metal so could be the lower one.

    Photo editing / processing software options?

    Photoshops kinda the ultimate but have a look at Affinity Photo. (£48 no subs)

    Ebay colour match spray

    Looks decent! A bit late but for anyone else looking in future, Autopaint st helens also do decent paint a bit cheaper.

    Been reversed into

    I find it depends on the insurer, if you go with the cheapest around each year then they will stick the price up. If you spend a bit more each year and stick with the same insurer they don't put the price up even if your at fault, certainly my experience with the NFU anyway.

    Iphone 11 + Apple watch 5

    This, Android is getting better but I still find it irritating to use. Although saying that iOS has been getting a bit worse recently, the way it constantly bugs you to connect to WiFi is very frustrating.

    Insta360 ONE X Action Camera

    Anyone got one of these, are they worth it or just a bit of a fad?

    Iphone 11 + Apple watch 5

    Pretty much all smartphones at this point tbf. Until we get some Tony Stark hologram level tech I doubt much will change.

    Apple ripping people off (no surprise there)

    I did 3 years sending stuff for Apple repairs never had any issues, it was pretty rare for Apple to try charging for warranty stuff compared to some of the other brands too.

    Renault trafic f4r conversion

    Renault and most of the other manufacturers now have vans with 170bhp, 380nm+ for sale, we've got the Citreon 180 version at work and its decent. Torques going to be very similar in a mapped f4rt, plus the extra weight and wind resistance I doubt your going to end up with a van that's much...

    Renault trafic f4r conversion

    Seems a bit pointless in a 2 ton van, the diesel it comes with would probably be faster.

    Worked on back light now car won’t turn over

    https://www.cliosport.net/threads/earth-strap-and-loom-earth-locations.728169/ I’d probably start by checking the fuses if the batteries fine. I assume you’ve checked it’s not the immobiliser should be solid red, when turning the key.

    Batteries flat or blown fuse, dodgy earth.

    ***How much is it worth?***

    Long story short due to house renovation cars not been used for a while and the mot has lapsed. It needs tyres to pass the mot, but I don’t really want to spend £300 if I’m not going to see that money back. Artic 182 ff, 80 000ish miles, 05 plate. Mods: ktec exhaust & sleeved cat, brembo’s...

    Which Basic CAD drawing App for MAC ?

    Fusion 360 just google the free hobbyist/up to 100k turnover option. Will take an afternoon to learn but it’s a really versatile piece of software, you can export to cnc, 3D printers etc.

    Clio 197 or Abarth 500

    Tbf the Clio is hardly known as a manly mans car..

    I don't expect it will be anything other than a spec bumb like 6s -> 7

    Cabinets etc

    https://www.homebase.co.uk/ultimate-storage-72in-garage-workstation-trolley_p383633 I have the above, worth a look if you have a Homebase near by. Company called SGS engineering makes them but I found homebase is slightly cheaper.

    Clio 197 or Abarth 500

    If it’s for fun go for the Abarth.

    Scraping exhaust going onto drive

    I assume it’s the cat catching? Weld a strip of steel with curved up ends like a ski should protect it and not catch on anything. Only minor issue might be the system moving and causing a failure somewhere but should be enough flex to avoid that.

    Onshape, Fusion360 if you want 3D stuff.

    DCi cutting out when throttle pressed

    As above if the pumps fine check for diesal leaks anywhere and then leak test the injectors. Pump on mine failed overnight with no prior warning so it does happen.

    DCi cutting out when throttle pressed

    Seems like a fueling problem, first thing I’d check is the fuel filter. After that check the injectors and pump for pressure etc.

    CAD Questions Thread?

    Before I go to the hassle of doing it myself is there a CAD model of the F4R? Presumably Renault must have modelled it at some point.

    Throttle not working

    Have you kicked the position sensor out of its socket by accident?
