    OnePlus One, anyone got one?

    I had one, was so excited then I changed from Revolution HD ROM to Cyanogenmod nightly build. It feels like I have a new phone (HTC One M7) in essense cyanogenmod saved me buying a device endorsed by cyanogenmod. It happily outperforms the iPhones of late [emoji16].

    [Dec 4, 2014] NW Central - Monthly Bury Pub Meet (Bury)

    As above really, but I subscribe to north west so most of the time I have a look in. I'm in Norfolk 3-4th so on the way back up I'll pay a visit if time is on my side and can sort my centre caps in time some scrote swiped one.

    [Nov 9, 2014] Chester pub meet (Cotebrook, Tarporley)

    Although it maybe pointless me posting this but I was going to come to this. I'm missing out on F1 too due to the OH plans. She wants to celebrate my birthday eurgh. Car plans much more important.

    Daniels Blue 182.

    I think after the condition they were in before they couldn't get any worse but now he's sprayed them up they're now how little babies [emoji23] . To the spoiler comments you can either sand it to create a key for the paint remover, but then you'd need a plastic primer as the normal primer...

    Daniels Blue 182.

    Haha great spoiler selfie [emoji23] I'm slender enough to get in the bay but even my garage should even be called a garage, just has a garage door and is rammed full of crap; mostly useful crap [emoji2] I'd never dream of having tea that late, screw that. So happy to get some long overdue...

    NW Central members in here!

    If you could get some form of a PM list going would be good, from active people as you've said. I'm based in Stockport, South Manchester. So I'm between the n.Wales/Chester lot and North Cheshire. Also on phone so shall look at poll soon.

    Daniels Blue 182.

    Wish I had a garage I can actually drive into even partially. Coming home to the darkness and having no will power to do anything. Bit jealous. Say bye bye to your MPG ;) the induction noise is going to get addictive lol.

    2004 1.2 16V (ph2 engine) AC Belt Tensioning

    UPDATE: The 6mm Allen Key turns out to be a T50 and the adjuster tool is for a K4M/K4J. The tool from Renault is MOT 1368 With a 1/2" on the other end it'll make those hard to reach parts easier in the bay. I was suffering from belt squeal, so I've purchased this tool + new...

    My Silver 1.2 Clio Expression

    Infact just read your other thread think I'm getting confused with another guy 😌. I'd cut the wires and solder the connectors on if you have both the male and female I'd reckon it'd be worth it or just use bullet connectors as above.

    My Silver 1.2 Clio Expression

    You can easily swap the seatbelt over from your old seats thus keeping the connectors the same. I'm unsure about the seat airbag connector, that may require stripping the whole seat (which I've done, not for sport seats though) I can send you the connector if you wish? I'd say if you were to...

    Daniels Blue 182.

    I like the look of how low it is, not meaning it's low! But like the right height where it still remains purposeful. Ahh I didn't get on with some cheapo lacquer, I've used Pro-xcel and Inkasa (sp) and highly rate them as the nozzle is a lot better and you can vary the spray pattern. I've...

    Daniels Blue 182.

    I much prefer it when the bullets and the wheels are matching. So I'm with the after for both the bullets and the disappearance of the rake you had [emoji13] Done a decent job with the side strips and mirror covers. What lacquer did you use?

    Lowest clio?

    Here's mine not exactly low going by the above, but it's drive able and the handling is pretty good.

    New engine put in but car won't start

    Aren't the injectors coded to the ECU? Or something along those lines. Injectors in from your old engine and see if it fires up then?

    Daniels Blue 182.

    So does that mean your clunking/knocking noise has disappeared? Strut brace next? Haven't read up so don't know if previously mentioned.

    Should top mounts twist when stationary?

    I'd say it's normal as they are connected to the struts of which the steering rack is also. I'd be worried if they didn't move. Maybe top mount bearing? Tracking, leaking shocks, anti roll bar bushes? Kinda issues you having?

    Photoshop favour for a couple of quid?

    2004 1.2 16V (ph2 engine) AC Belt Tensioning

    I fitted this alongside changing all other belts + tensioners. Thing is the tensioner adjustment is hard to do with 2 hands and not much room. The tensioner is on a slider as such and to tighten it there is a 6mm Allen key with about 2cm clearance I use a pair of mole grips to tighten the...

    Think I've spotted 2 Clios at pentahotel, what time you guys heading out tomorrow morning? Both are shades of blue, darkness doesn't help.

    gas bonnet struts install tips?

    Makes more sense now. Just need to find ways of adding the ball mounts securely and choose the right attachment thingy on the struts. Also finding the right struts, right length, right extension and right force. Would be fun, I'm trying to work with what I've got.

    gas bonnet struts install tips?

    The bonnet lining, that metal is pretty thin and malleable.

    gas bonnet struts install tips?

    Mounting a strut your way would offer more stress due to the moment. I'm working further away from the pivot thus allowing me to work with lower forces this putting lower stress on the bonnet material.

    gas bonnet struts install tips?

    I did have it connecting to a ball mount screwed directly onto the bonnet, due the the thin layer the ball mount can bend the metal. I tapped a hole but that didn't work out. Trying a different approach now, that's when I have the time.

    Seat Belt Problem

    A full set of belts would cost around £30 pounds, there's also an airbag ECU which stores that the pre-tensioners have fired causing the airbag light to stay on. This may need to be reset. I don't know how, but I'm also sure you can purchase another one as these aren't coded. Don't take my word...
