Had a look on the website but still unsure what to go for. The car is only used on track and I would like a shorter through but longer lever. Which am I best going for?

How much are they delivered? Like the sound of them.

You using the car on track?

Get some 2nd hand track tyres for around £100. Makes the difference IMHO.

Friend of mine is selling one if anyone is interested. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-172-182-F4R-Blue-Crank-Sensor-/250974602244?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a6f408404 Cheers

I'd be up for a rolling road day after march once the new engine is run in. What about Ava next to Glasgow airport?

In the workshop manual it tells you to disconnect the battery to change the brake pads! :D

Takes 2 secs so be as well even if not required.

That's all that would be done with a service exchange along with new windings. Might have a go anyway to see if it can be done.

On a 172 or 182? Mine never caught on the gear linkage but early ph1 172's I believe have a different length of cat.

Anyone?

I never bothered when fitting mine but heard people saying the cheap kits on flea bay are totally useless.

Do Clio 172/182's use the same HT leads as megane 225's? Cheers

I'm in the middle of stripping down my engine bay for an engine swap and noticed when I turn the alternator by hand it sounds a bit rough. Very little play but doesn't sound smooth. I think the bearings need changed and thought I would be as well doing this when it was all stripped. Anyone know...

Seen them in 14's too.

If the wheels look ok from the outside just take the tyre off, rubb the corrosion off with emery paper until nice and smooth, prime, paint and lacquer the groove that the tyre sits in and then refit the tyre. Done this on a couple of wheels for the same issue and worked every time. Hell of a lot...

My local dealer said they made good money out of warranty claims so would have no issues with minor mods. Extended warranties is where the issues start as it is a 3rd party comapny who has to pay for it and will try to wriggle out of any claim!

That's correct on Andy's but Owens was a straight F4Rt lump with 6 speed box. Not sure what he did with driveshafts though. Down pipe is a megane Decat and a slightly customised link pipe, nothing too difficult. Master cylinder doesn't have to be moved. Andy was just concerned about the heat...

Need to look at downpipes too but it can be done. Think Owen:s did this one to a ph1 and RS Tuning got it runing on his remaped std ecu. You could always go stand alone management rather than messing with the OE stuff. That's what I'm doing.

Hammer and bolster or hit a socket on. Either way will ruin the bolt but if you don't have the key it doesn't make a difference.

Re: My Clio Mk3. What alloys should i get after the winter has gone? ''got to be blac Is that the whole project? Go for some TD pro race 1.2's to be different.

So general concensus from the people in the know is use the best stuff you can get and nonsense to 'I've used the cheap stuff for years and its never done any harm to my car'!

Andy Forrest and Bob Rawle, 2 of the most respected Impreza mappers say they would only recommend shell v power or tesco 99. This has been proven over many years of mapping turbo charged cars. Their word is more than good enough for me and so I use it on all my cars and never had any issues...

Think the standard 182 cat is longer than the space from the manifold to the centre section.

Never tried winter tyres on the Clio but the cup is hopeless in the snow and gets stuck on any hill over a 2% incline even using clutch control. Just bought some winter tyres for my Impreza which was already very good in the snow (apart from the front splitter which acts as a plough in...

NOS Not new but not done very often.

Correct

I used a 90deg bend and just cut the leg lenght to suit.

Try proving it though.

Renaults have to be bled is an X formation not furthest to closest to the reservoir. If you're bleeding manually you will need two people. Do about 10 full slow pumps with the nipple open then hold on the last one and close the nipple. Carry this out on all brakes on the x sequence and then try...
