Did you make sure the locating pin lined up with the hole/bung in the linkage?

You remind me of Tony Robinson :tongueclosed:

In the packaging on a shelf somewhere in the dark, they should be ok. It's open ones left in sunlight that would be no good.

Should still work even if the part number is different mate. It's only the motor connections that vary and that can be easily sorted like i said by swapping the motor over.

They came standard on some Lotus cars.

😂

I'm not into the curved screens tbh and imo they're asking to get cracked more easily if dropped with it going edge to edge. The software stuff looks ok though.

No joke

Just a thought too, the linkages are the same it's only the motor connections that are different from early models to later. My mate had a ph1 clio and when his linkage went he bought a ph2 one and we just swapped the motor over.

Where's the game changing hardware? :neutral:

@MicKPM is your Midlands man i think.

Yeah the new bridge caught me out too. I come from Warrington side so down the Daresbury Expressway you have to go past the first exit for Astmoor Industrial Estate and take the next one and come in from the other end of that road to turn right into EFI.

As long as it's not from a ph1 Clio, it should fit. 4 pin connector rings a bell.

eBay, usually about £20.

2nd hand linkage and swap it over. Fairly simple job.

They always come back.

Yeah you're right about Island Bend, it's about 95-100mph so 3rd is no good really. Stay in 4th down Lakeside, quick dab of the brakes and then in and back on the power. Hard on the brakes for Shell, down into 3rd then 2nd.

I find 2nd gear for Shell and the chicanes a lot better too. Especially up the hill out of the first chicane, the Clios lack the pulling power in 3rd.

Would have to get the anodizing off first i'd imagine.

Stay out wide to right for Cascades lad and turn in where that little service road is.

I believe you want the rear spring rate a bit more than the fronts for better turn in/reduced understeer on a fwd car. Say 7kg front, 8kg rear.

Designed to work at a certain pressure with a set spring rate. A major change to the spring rate and it'll effect the dampening and possibly blow the seals of the shock.

You would probably get away with it for 7/8kg springs, but after that it would be worthwhile getting them revalved.

So let's say your budget is £4-5k.

My mate says you can get Vauxhall dealer stamps on ebay :wink:

As standard i think it's something like 80/20 braking, so you are relying on your front brakes to do most of the work. When it's at 50/50 the effort is now shared, so if you had some decent pads also in the rear, then in theory you should be able to stop quicker with the slight downside of it...

BC's with the harder spring rate if it's for track.

Dual mass flywheel are w**k on these.

They get heavier as they get older. Mine is on 92k on the original clutch and it's heavy. I'm having a new one fitted soon along with a new gearbox with a diff in. I'm expecting it to be lighter than it is now, but i won't worry if it's the same as i like the feel of it tbh.

Don't remove the fuse. It makes the bias 50/50 iirc, you'll swap ends under high speed heavy braking.
