Right I've bought myself a aux kit to get on my clio as I wasn't made aware at cam belt change that the tensioner needs replacing as well as the belt !
Got the proper stuff from renault , and got some time Saturday afternoon so taking it in work use the ramp , but I've asked renault across the...
I haven't fitted my aux tensioner yet :( I need to get hold of the special tool that's needed for the tensioner ! Soon though !
I have however spent more money on more goodies !
i went to fetch breakfast Sunday just gone and noticed a funny noise on the steering :/ so got the car up and had...
Sorry to hear Ben ! I'd speak to the garage see what your best options are ! In fairness a good garage should road test really , headlight bulbs obviously not but I'd road test it if its had a steering issues !
You can always get the head off see if its just a set of valves but its more than...
Just after everybody's advice really , was going to fetch Sunday breakfast and noticed a horrible thud on steering standing still :/
Took it to work today and got it up on the ramp, and noticed that the anti roll bar is wayyyyy over to the left of the car ! As in touching the subframe on the...
I'd check because I'm almost certain they have to prove they had whiplash ie doctors medical report ! Plus to with stain whiplash you have to be traveling at so many mile per hour ! Not certain but it's worth checking !
Vtak kicks in yooooo at 5k Bruv ya get me homeboy !
No
What I was trying to say is my 182 feels a stronger engine than the 172 I had before which would make sense ! I know it's not a great deal difference but I personally feel it's more noticable !
Fantasic ! Exactly what I needed !
Think ill go for a RS tuner then because I'm literally running a decat stainless ktec and v6 box! I've no plans to upgrade to cams etc as the cost won't benefit me die to daily use and no tracks ! Haha
thanks again mate really cleared up what I wanted to know !
Thats fair enough mate ! Appreciate the advise ! Do RS tuning do live mapping then or on the rollers as such? Rather than a specific /generic map?
And would you recommend that over a generic map? Obviously a personalised map is better but would you say it's safer or worth the extra money for a...
Let me reiterate ! Have you mistakenly fitted them backwards? The material side should be touching the disc ! It looks like they have been fitted backward ! But if not there's no reason why they should be catching ! Not that I can think of anyway !
Yes you have fitted them wrong ! The pads should me material in not metal in ! Seriously take it to a specialist ! Please don't work on your car if your not in the know especially if its brakes
get yourself through the cars for sale mate ! Thing with cars on here is they are priced pretty well and you can look up the history ! Worth a look if nothing else !
That would suit me right down to the ground as Missus is a uni in notts ! :D please please please ! I'd prefer chip doing it ! But like I say somersets a little bit of a run haha
I'd consider a trip down to you if it wasn't so far but unfortunately I'm stoke way so a little trek !
You do map them don't you? And how much do you charge ?
Sorry misread it ! I thought it was further back than 10 k !
It depends on what your after mate ! If your happy to pay it then go for it ! I think it's a fair price , but no harm in offering less I spose !
but first things first go view it ! Could have more hits than the Beegees !
Looks very good prices about right like Daniel says if you can get it for 3k! But belts are due at 5 years or 72k and it's on 70k ! Be awear they will need doing sooner rather than later !
Other than that not a bad motor by looks ! Get a good look at it first ! Pictures can lie though
I think the 5k 'kick' is more obvious in my 182 than my 172 , but that said my 182 does pull better obviously !
Think I'm going to get it mapped !
RS tuners are okay to sort the lack of fuel below aren't they? Smooths stuff out I've heard !
Niether to be honest they are both rough estimates ! Fuel gauge IMO is best obviously of its on red fill it up mate , lol and the best way of calculating is see exactly how many litres you put in , the exact cost of fuel and then work out how many miles you've done and work it all out from there...
Same as mine I have a sigma alarm with the keypad in the top right , although mine doesn't work either , it's just working on the fob not the pad !
its a pain kn the arse don't know why it's been fitted they have a alarm standard ! Mines a UK car not a import I have the receipt for fitting ...
I get around 200-240 miles per tank honestly , but it's mainly around town and traffic! I have a decat as well! I've had people say mines broken , but I've had it on emissions I've checked everything ! It just depends on your driving and the areas ! I average between 19-29 mpg agains depends on...
I've just been looking , the smallest I can get is 1 metre long ? How would I go about fitting that because I thought I'd need two? One either side ? What have other people done ? Do they just fold the metre one up ? Or run it straight across the centre as well! Thanks
