    Home Broadband Recommendations

    For me the actual product is fantastic, I've had broadband with them for 20yrs or so and in that time have only had a 2 day outage due to a modem failure. The customer service though is f**king terrible. I've only ever had to use it for issues with price rises but the full process is a...

    172 engine into a 1.2expression ?

    Why not? Rust is an issue on a lot of 172/182s now, the issue doesn't seem to exist on non RS cars for some reason (possibly the lack of skirts?!)

    no extra response and less power likely due to the hot air, all downsides really

    Fit a standard one, you can't dislike the noise when it doesn't make any.

    i assume its a non RS? you could move over to 58mm hubs if coilovers in that fitment are easier to come by?, nice easy swap!

    WHEEL ALIGNMENT ANOTHER POST ABOUT IT....

    Have you done the inner track rods? Usually you can't feel any play in them but my god it makes a massive difference when you refresh them. I could bearly keep one of mine on the road above 50mph

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    the 1.2 is a fairly early car I think on a V reg so I assume the immobiliser just looks for a code it recognises in the key and then gives the green light to the ECU to fire? i know certainly on a PH2 onwards you need to swap everything!

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    I didnt! - full 1.2 8v interior/dash/uch etc is all still in place, i put the 1.2 key in and turned the ignition, immobiliser light went out as it should, turned the key and it fired! Tried the same with the 1.6 fob and 1.2 key blade and the immobiliser rapid flashed and wouldn't turn over!

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    Seen a set of old skool genuine Renault speedlines, I believe from a megane coupe MK1 advertised on eBay as 15" for £300, watched them for a few weeks as I had noticed in the closeup pics they were 16" and finally got an offer of £200 posted accepted! Thoughts?

    Subframe refurb options

    renault subframes of that generation are crap, id want to remove it, wire wheel it to bits, prep it all and then something heavy duty to protect it, Daniel's raptor paint sounds a good shout! @aldo_87 has previous with these....

    Fuel lines/ return etc

    Bit of an odd one here. I'm converting an old ph1 1.2 8v over to 1.6 16v. -Both cars are mk2 PH1, but the 1.2 is a very early car, the 1.6 a very late car. -The 1.2 has a fuel return line, so has 3 lines running under the car (fuel, return and i assume tank vent from the carbon canister?) -...

    My Mrs has THESE , ironically for the opposite side that my daughter sits on, as she knows how to look after things, but generally other peoples kids don't.

    Oscillating humming at around 50mph

    Louder when turning right will be the left hand bearing as they get noisier when you load them up when they are starting to fail

    Clio 3 rs 197 compression

    That's where I would start, lock the engine at TDC and pull out the cam caps and see how the camshafts are sitting.
