I'm thinking the Lambda setup is the same as on the Clio's. I run an Innovate LC-2 wideband on my project car. The stock ECU reads the narrowband o2 sensor using the generic '4 wire' lambda. White/White/Black/Grey wires. I know the signal wire is the black wire. What I don't know, is which...

I went to a car show recently and saw a 106 turbo with a charge cooler installed. Since then, I've been reading some threads and they are plenty used. I didn't think it was the 'done' thing. I've never considered it before, in my small boosted project. But I think manufacturers are using...

My daily hack/nail was making some cracking and clunking noises when turning, from the passenger side. I ordered a 'shaft' from Renparts. Thats the 'new' shaft on the left. The abs ring looks too small and so do the splines. I obviously couldn't check this until my shaft was off. True...

Following on from my previous thread regarding the back boxes.... this time it's the cat/de-cat. I'd like to put a cat back in the car. Currently it has a decat as below. It's crap and blows as good as our lass. There is a sale/voucher code for Euro car parts (no suprise) that shows I can get...

Erm... I've inspected the exhaust on a project I bought a while ago, it's a reet mess. It's some powerflow thing, I think. The welding isn't great, so guessing it's not an off the shelf item. Anyway, WTF should the hangers look like at the rear, as this is proper blue peter:

About to be back in a 182. What has happened to my life. Anyway, my MPS if it tickles any ones fancy. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/173278427117?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Hoping someone can help explain clutch covers. On another project I have a 4 paddle Helix clutch. It came with a Helix clutch cover, which looks very similar to a stock/oem clutch cover, but has their sticker on it. At full boost - the clutch slips a little. There isn't a direct upgraded clutch...

I've noted about 3 things (gauges mainly) using scotch locks from the cigarette lighter wire! Sad thing is, I need to add other things into a similar feed, but want to do it correctly. What is the best way to either share 1 connection with 3 devices safely? do I have to run individual feeds...

I've got a set of these in another turbo project, but I am unsure on their CC. Some internets say 390cc and other internets say 480cc @ 3 bar. Renault part number on them is: 8200511099 These are the blue collar, green tip ones - that show up by google image searching the above part number. I...

This morning on Warmsworth road.

I'm after some advice on how to accomplish a flexible oil return. My situation is below, I have both end connectors, so that's cool: Blue square = a 90degreee 16mm elbow (ignore the piping on the end of it) Red square = a push fit 16mm opening (I have an end for that too) What I don't have, is...

There is a bit of oil on the floor of my garage from a recently aquired 140k 182. On the underside, I can see the following: At the top of the engine there is oil residue around the cam covers and some oil possibly mixed with water in a gully just behind the plenum at the front. There is...

Now then. I've built a new bottom end. It has new (forged) rods, pistons along with new shells, bearings, rod bolts yada yada (the head is the original). The turbo is also brand new - straight off the shelf. I'm shi^^ting it, when it comes to starting it up for the first time. I lined the...

I need a simple wordpress/wix/other website creator (main image and a bit of text and links type thing) based web page for a small business. Wix looks good, but once you want to attach your own domain, there is a price. Anyone know of any simple creators, that look half decent, that I could...

Generic french tin rebuild advice required. Below is cylinder 1 of my forged TUJ4 engine. I get acceptable movement north to south with the piston, yet east to west is very difficult, if any movement at all. All the others pistons are fine. The gap to the cylinder wall on one side is smaller...

I don't have a home forum anymore and the seat cupra one looks dead, so thought I'd have a moan on here. Against my better (lack of) judgement, I bought this piece of sh*t to use as a daily car and return some funds from my Vectra. The advert was a complete lie, but yet I still just checked...

My friend lives in Portugal and owns a decent sized car garage. He has just rung and asked me to spec and quote: 5 x hosts (have to be touchscreen) that will be dotted about the garage for the mechanics/paint dudes etc 1 x server (to host a central database + maybe sharepoint) - they have...

I've not looked for another car in a while, but suprised to find that Pistonheads classifieds is a bit poo - why is no one advertising on there? So far I've been checking: - Gum tree - Auto trader (also a bit poo) - Ebay - Random facebook groups What else should I have in the favourites list...

It was probably over a year ago. The clio was a Ph1 172 titanium and it had williams wheels on it, in white. it had some lows, looked purposeful for the track but he used it daily. Think the guy was in Scotland. He might have been called jon, but that is a guess. I have been trying to find...

Has anyone else seen this behaviour before with Cisco devices? I'm looking after a network that doesn't seem overly stable to me. I'm trying to discover the path to a device on: 192.168.44.1. sh ip route <etc> D 192.168.44.0/24 [90/3328] via 192.168.24.249, 6w3d, Vlan888...

Yes, I have been called this in the past, but thats not the sole reason for this question. When boosting an engine (thats not originally a turbo engine from the factory) I have seen that: retarding the ignition timing will keep the engine safe. What does this mean? Why must the ignition be...

Outside the range about 14:00

I don't like the way they use a 'k'. Bit 90's. But read it in ppc:

My mate has a 172 cup. It has developed a tendancy to lock the rear brakes. In particular the drivers side rear - wants to overtake you when stamping hard. He checked to see if there is a brak compensator, but it looks like the cups don't have one. When he took the wheels off, one of the...

These don't appear anymore. Why? Are RStuning still going?! We should arrange. I vote for Jim (Leeds_182), because he isn't in Leeds and doesn't own a 182.

Its not a clio, so apologies. But wonder if this problem is universal. I am not a mechanic and never done this before. We've just put some 708 Cat cams in a track car. But the inlet cam wouldn't turn afterwards. Turns out that the cams are scoring the casting and then getting to a point...

Wasn't sure where to put this, so its probably in the wrong section. If you have a 45Litre tank - how much (when full) does the actual fuel weigh? as in, super unlead/vpower - if that even makes a difference in weight.

Chance to see gaz's new curry wagon - if he is available and I should have the throttle bodied Vts for demo! Let us know if keen.

Not a bad way to spend £5k. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1986-C-FORD-ESCORT-MK3-1-6-SERIES-1-RS-TURBO-DIAMOND-WHITE-STUNNING-T-T-/120994328730?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item1c2bd2f09a
