Got a bit of random issue that's developed. Every now and then I get a weird hesitation in the throttle response at around 4k rpm in 4th and 5th gear, more so in 5th gear and only does it on light throttle, if I put a bit more throttle on the problem disappears. Best way to describe would be...

Been digging around the internet looking for the best prices for Tranself 75w80 gear oil. Cheapest place I've found so far is http://www.nielsencdg.co.uk/acatalog/Elf_Tranself_NFJ_75W-80_158484_Gear_Oil_1_Litre.html they also have an ebay account and it's a little cheaper on there...

I've had a dig around the forum and various other places about this and to save a lot of trouble and no doubt swearing I'm going to try using a crowfoot spanner head. All I need to know for certain is the size I'd need. I'm pretty certain it's a 32mm I need but just need someone in the know to...

Got an issue with steering wheel wobble, symptoms would suggest wheel balancing but balancing them didn't cure it. The steering wheel starts shaking/wobbling as soon as you reach 75/80 then goes away once you reach 90 (private road of course ;) ) After getting the wheels balanced it did take...

I took my throttle body off off to clean it and it destroyed the gasket whilst doing so. I'm waiting for Renault to let me know if they'll have one in stock tomorrow but couldn't guarantee that they will. I kind of need to use the car tomorrow so would just using some sealant be alright as a...

Decided to stick my AST topmounts on Ebay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/110821236890?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649#ht_500wt_1202

Got abit of a problem whilst attempting to remove the front abs sensor. Whilst removing the body of the sensor the top half snapped and left the bottom bit in the hub, problem is it's snapped flush. Any suggestions on removing it? Rather not remove the hub completely as it's the gearbox side.

Following on from my ABS issue thread, I've found out my nearside front ABS sensor is at fault. The wire going in to the sensor it's self is frayed and very loose, so it needs replacing. I've searched around the forum and all I've really come across is how difficult they are to remove. I've not...

Bit of a strange one, more of an annoyance rather than a big problem. Say I'm coasting in traffic or coming to stop at a junction at very low speed (no more than 5mph) during very light braking and when coming to a stop the ABS wants to kick in. During any other kind of braking it's perfectly...

Adjuster rings are well and truly seized on my coilovers, front and back. Had ago at freeing them up by soaking them in WD40 then tapping them with a screwdriver and a mallet but had no joy. Anyone else have any ideas? I know heat is an option but that'd be a last resort as heating the adjuster...

Decided last minute to do a track day at Oulton last Friday (4th November), after f0xy's problems with his project build and unable to participate I bought his track time off him. 1st time I've been out on track so I wasn't going all out and didn't push to hard but enjoyed it none the less.

Me and a couple of mates decided to go for some photos last night and before anyone says it, Yes the car is dirty lol.

I'm after a ph-1 steering wheel boss. With not wanting to pay Tweeks prices and not having much luck finding anything on Ebay I came across this http://www.ybracing.co.uk/page1.php?sitepage=4&area4=&subarea=87&part=1031&parttoadd=1031&varianttoadd=0&partspecdesc=Steering Wheel Hub/Boss Kit...

Been getting this noise ever since I fitted my exhaust to the car. I put it down to the baffles coming loose in the centre silencer. Decided to investigate it further today by tapping the exhaust/silencer with a rubber mallet but it appears the silencer is fine. After a few taps I noticed a...

Just a question regarding the bonnet arm that holds the bonnet open. Noticed on the standard bonnet the arm is riveted on, just curious what people do to fix the arm to the carbon fibre bonnet.

As in the wheels. Always fancied using a loud colour on the wheels and with the decent weather of late and being off Thursday/Friday I decided to crack on with it. Did the 1st wheel and was pretty happy with the result so I did the other 3. I know it won't be to everyone's tastes but...

Bit undecided which colour to go for with my OzF1s. Whether to go for the Ford Graphite grey again as I did with my Turinis or whether to go with something in your face like red. If someone could photoshop the wheels in the picture below in red I'd be grateful :D

After having an argument with a tree and losing in my Cup and it being wrote off I've moved on to another Clio. 3rd one this, I think I have an addiction problem lol. Bought a blue ph-1 off my mate a couple of weeks ago, at 1st I hated ph-1's but over time they've really grown on me. I did say...

Fitted my Ph-2 steering wheel out of my Cup to my Ph-1 today, went on fine. Only problem is I'm getting a clicking noise when the wheel is in certain positions, it's not fouling on anything so I'm guessing it must be the indicator canceler, any idea how to cure this?

I've not posted this on here till now because I wanted to keep it off the forum until the insurance side of things were sorted but I had a mishap Sunday before last. Now I'm not making excuses cos at the end of the day it was my fault but the road surface was extremely slippy, as soon I got in...

Fitted an Upper uprated k-tec engine mount today. Although it's cured the knocking noise I got under heavy acceleration it's caused another issue. At around 3k rpm there's a huge rattle/vibration behind the dash (far right hand side as you're sitting in the driver's seat). If I push down on the...

Just for anyone interested in what the inside of a dephaser pulley looks like.

Just been asked to post this on here to see if there's any interest.

On the roundabout next to the M60 junction, I was waiting at the traffic lights near Mcdonalds and you came around the roundabout. Did flash my main beam a couple of times.

Mate is selling this. I know the wheels are abit chavtastic and there's a few mistakes in the advert which will be corrected at somepoint lol. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2077928.htm
