I dont know where all the bad words come from about the A539s I have had them on and with the correct psi's for the setup of the car. They have been very good for the price of them. They lack the ultimate grip of say f1s, but there not much off it. And in the wet there is plenty of grip and...

There is a ph1 driving around i have seen a few times.

Well if you look at the older clios they have been run on the lesser oils and are still going. So is there really a long term benefit as with clios everything falls apart anyway. So you would end up having to replace everything around the engine.

Modern oil these days has to pass tests so it can be sold, and the standards which are set these days are so much higher than they used to be. So the oil which is from a good manufacturer will do the job nicely. The chances are if you spend more on an expensive oil you will be less willing...

Think of all the old cars which have done 100k + they wernt serviced with special oil, and they still work. So for road applications you dont need to spend a fortune. just well branded oil and regular changes.

Britannia Rescue have been very good for me, and have excellent customer care.

That was me :) Wondered who it was, didnt reconise the reg. Aye those roadworks are very annoying.

Saw quite a few today: 197 In silver on the M3 Winchester Bound 182 In Black 2 Cars behind me on Zig Zag Hill 197 In Blue On the M27, was parked next to you at the lights old and new style 197 In black coming out of fareham Who said 197s wern't common ;)

Double clutching is useful on those cold mornings when its stiff to get into gear.

o2 are terrible, i had been a contract customer for 3 years, and wanted to renew. So i went through the usual every department etc. So 3 departments later i got what i wanted, £10 off line rental and some old random phone. So i was happy with that, as far as i was concerned i had entered...

As 1st has the lowest gear ratio compared to the other forward gears thus meaning the syncromesh has alot more work to do in comparison to the other gears.

If you match the revs to the speed your traveling. You can in theory then go into 1st at 30 without it jolting forward.

What they sound like?

When i asked about a standard exhaust system from renault the centre section was around £70 iirc wasnt much. but the back box was was over double the centre sections price.

My old green clio:

Use a decent sized breaker bar, and as you have the bolt abit out use some wd40 on the threads and wind it back in abit and keep undoing etc. Mine where really stiff with a big breaker bar.

Keep it true ph1 style with yellow ;)

Lol the water bans are all a joke. You pay for a service to be delivered, and if it isnt delivered why should you have to pay for it? You wouldnt pay the full price for 2pints of milk if it was only half full. So why should you with water?

Despite the good intentions of fitting one i just struggled reaching through the back each time lol.

Could be worth giving it a go, would make the setup alot stiffer but still have a normal ride height. On my 1.2 ph3 the hub spacing was 54mm and iirc valver shocks are 54mm. Gsf would be the cheapest for shocks or Unipart etc.

When i refurbed my Williams wheels, i used a file to take out the curbing from the rim and sand paper to make it nice and smooth. Then i got them shot blasted and powdercoated. Look good now.

Heres my boot on my old 1.2:

Sure none of the balancers have come off the offending wheel? The stick on ones come off easily. Checked the wheel is tight? Checked that the driveshaft nut is nice and tight? has a high torque that nut. Could be worth looking at the decat, but not sure how that would effect the steering...

Im not sure, but had lots of things inside it like a router maybe something of help?

Cant you log into the modem and change anything in there?

Poor fitment being the biggest pain, At the moment it doesnt hang right and the centre section is to big to go into the exhaust tunnel. The baffles go. The hangers snap, the welds fail.

Yozza dont do mk1 exhaust stuff though ;)

Yup the decat will fit I've had 2 scorpian systems and both have given me no end of greif.
