    Back box + water = steam engine?

    Completely 100% stock. Just in a barn so it was reverberating more. It'd been rattling and dropped on one side so I swapped the mounts & sorted out the heat shield rattle with larger washers. It's cause I'd just changed the oil and straight after it did that. In reality its probably something...

    Back box + water = steam engine?

    Was only up to 4k just loud cause it's in a barn. But yeah, blip was the wrong word.

    172 Built in Sat Nav units for sale on ebay

    Crap, I would've paid quite a bit more for that.

    Back box + water = steam engine?

    Thought so, it normally does it for 5 mins though... not after 30 mins with a warmed up engine. Ah well.

    Back box + water = steam engine?

    Is this much water in the boxes normal? The engine had been idling to warm up after an oil change and was still steaming out the exhaust, so blipped the throttle and it started spraying water everywhere. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FghYxF9EbQA

    GT5

    I got to level 20 and have been putting of doing B-Spec as I started it and realised you can't speed up time. Anyway, just started doing it, up to level 6 now. Is this driver a f**king idiot? Or drunk? Or both? Seriously.

    MPG problems? change your lambda....

    As far as I know, and I may be wrong, they are not really a service part with a scheduled replacement mileage... but, they are a very common thing to go wrong. Mine went at 91k... but, the one I took out wasn't a genuine Renault one... it looked completely different. So, it must have been...

    MPG problems? change your lambda....

    Yeah easy peasy. I was going to do a guide for here but forgot... basically. 22mm spanner and a strong arm cause the old one is usually a b**ch to get off. Car on jack stands or ramps. In the center of the car just before the cat you'll see the sensor sticking into the exhaust. Loosen sensor...

    Oil Change?

    ^ I wondered about that, nice hefty discount. For me it's just about service history. I can explain using Silkolene as it's a premium oil and I do it every 6 months so I'm giving it better than required care... but with an oil filter not using genuine just looks a bit cheap, even if it IS a...

    Oil Change?

    That isn't as you dont get the 1l free and also the filter isn't genuine and you don't get a sump plug washer (only like, 10p but just annoying). I'd do This at member price of £46 (cliosport members are members) (Fuchs Titan is Silkloene Pro S new name) note the "To receive your Free litre...

    MPG problems? change your lambda....

    I get higher mpg out of my 182 than I did in my 16v 1.2 on the motorway. Around town they're comparable and at 50ish the 1.2 was better.

    Oil Change?

    Do you guys do the oil filter every 6k as well, or just the oil?

    MPG problems? change your lambda....

    I get 28-30ish mpg around town (mainly cause I rag it), 40mpg at 65mph and 37mpg at 80. New sensor 2 months ago. (using cruise control). The 182 goes a surprisingly long way chilling at 65.

    Proper Job

    f**k thats even worse than this one, which looked bad enough! I guess the NCAP means something, although at these speeds it's more down to luck I'm sure. Any story behind it? Re: Young people in cars. I had my 1.2 when I was 17 and did all my silly stuff in that, including crashing it into...

    Oil Change?

    ^ Maybe remove that link as only paid members can get to the forum its posted in? Otherwise everyone in the world who googles '182 oil change' will get it for free! Mine had 10mm on one bolt and 13mm on the other. Cue an hour or two of f**king around before I worked it out :dead: Opie Oils are...

    macbook pro a1286

    Which one of these is it? http://www.everymac.com/ultimate-mac-lookup/?search_keywords=A1286 That number spans from 2008 to 2010. The order M***** number is more accurate. If it's a 2008 one thats about right, if it's a 2010 one, its realllly cheap.

    Where do you check your post code? Little tip... if you add your mum/dad/wife/girlfriend as a NAMED driver your insurance premium can drop.

    Thirsty Clio (172 cup) can't decide how long until empty

    Its a Clio thing. Both my 1.2 and 182 did/do it. It'll drop quickly, then slow down between 1/2 and 1/4 and then hover notch off the bottom for ages then drop down to nothing for about 30 miles till the orange light comes on which = 40 - 50 miles left. The computer is accurate, the gauge isn't.

    Gearbox Oil

    Alternative option which can be a bit easier / less likely to get oil EVERYWHERE. Remove battery & airbox. Drain gearbox Remove wingnut Open breather on top of box. Fill through breather on top until it seeps out of the wing nut hole.

    V6 tucked away in Tadworth

    Rubbish photo because I wasn't exactly gonna stroll up the driveway. Looked lovely. First time I've seen one in the flesh believe it or not. Now I want one.

    iPhone 4 camera HELP

    They should have swapped that in the first place. Save all the fucked photos to show what it's doing so even if it doesn't do it then you have evidence.
