yeah yeah yeah............ :) Woke up in a better mood today, and having visited costco for a new socket set set about removing the 'wrong' one. Needless to say with the correct tools it helps no end. 3 hrs work which was yesterday took 20 mins today. However, my woes areonly to do with doing a...

No. I gave them the Valeo part # from page 1 of this thread which I found by browsing the valeo website for clio 2, 2l sport, cb0-2. Had options of 110, 95 and 75 A versions in new and refurb so opted for the 110 Refurb. New unit matched exactly the A13VI300 number, the remanufactured one is a...

oh the joys of messing about with a clio.... Collected part, looked ok so got jubilee clip to sort tensioner. Started removing bumper, which was fine till the bolt on the nearside arch wouldnt play, turns out it had a nyloc nut on it instead of the self tapping clip the other side had - great...

ok, my 'should have listened to Fred' badge is at the ready.... Only upside is car is not my daily runner as I have the bonus of company car so it will be my time and knuckles when/if it does fail early. Shall be paying you a visit soon Fred for some ds2500 and lines when my bonus is in :)

hmm time will tell - shall hopefully collect it tomorrow ! Interesting thought, refurb ~ £100 lasting 18 month new closer to £200 but lasting ~ 5 years I guess

Welcome ! Also pop over to http://cliotrophy.co.uk as we keep a car register going over there :)

hmm are xl the company making them or refurbing them ? From what I understand, its a Valeo refurbed unit.

It gets better :) Just rang to order 436748 (refurb) from partco and quoted £84.87 + vat + 50 for exchange with 50 returned when i give em the tatty one back - happy days

true, altho I think the derby branch apply 'club' prices to anyone who walks in the door as they did when I ordered some stuff previously from them. £130 inc Vat with a poss discount from partco is good, £160 inc Vat which may inc discount from GSF both for refurb units on an exchange basis...

So it does.... Valeo site is a bit of a pain to find your way around but is worth looking :D General: EAN 3276424393029...

It appears the alternator on the Trophy has died and wondering on replacements. Valeo A13VI300 Renault 8200193100 Renault say this is superseded by 7711134267 Being a T it has air con so seems to be a royal PITA to change ! Any suggestions ?

yep, that shiney trophy is now sat on my drive :)

Ahh i knew i recognised the plate. Saw your mini there and your old Vee as was same place i picked trophy up from :) He had a nice r26r there too when i had a mooch round Cracking car

lol order them from a hardware store then - get a bag of 100 washers for 46p from screwfix ! m5 steel washers, m5x10 or m5x14 screws with smallest head possible (personally prefer countersunk) Deffo save on some cash oh and absolutely DO NOT USE NYLON OR SPRUNG WASHERS !!!! just clicked link and...

lol @ 4 quid repair kit. I may be the 'bloke on here' spiezel was reffering to. 90% of faults on them are dry joints which can be fixed with a decent heat gun and some £3 steel washers and m5 screws. just the screws / washers MAY fix them but i wouldnt hold breath in long run. faulty ones can...

t-cut or similar does wonders. always work from centre out tho, not in circles

excellent stuff, thanks

Logging i can do, how you get it to email (either way) ?

I run a nix box which runs centos 5 as a antispam server mainly (+ a few others) Clamav (and clamd) are installed correctly and currently happily filter out shed loads of incoming virii via postfix / amavisd / clamd. Freshclam runs multiple times daily and keeps the defs upto date, but the main...

re 360 until very recently, Ms had enforced a min 720p hd res for all developers

lol it 'comes through' at whatever the max setting allows it to and happily works @ 1080p, not that the 360 was released in sept 2005 either so not sure what a pre 2003 one looks like

hdmi > vga > component > composite save the composite yellow connector for your 14" portable vga is good on monitors but at the time of its release (end 2005), virtually all tvs had issues displaying the correct resolution via vga. component is capable of displaying a 1080p picture, but is the...

glad they give their magazines away then. strange how the gadget show said a 47 quid gold plated hdmi lead is no better than a 3.99 one as its a digital signal and is either there or not, not like analogue ones which degrade over the transmission path

you can get 1080p via component nps, just depends iif the tv supports it. the xbox 100% can do that.

hmm interesting, easy firework theme :P 8 for me as is a bit different which is good in my book !

lol @ # connections, depends what they are limited to, never heard of anyone being capped at an excessive level (2-3 mbit here and there) Never needed to go beyond 4 connections personally

172 had a 4-1 exhaust manifold giving better torque and a crap cat 182 has a 4-2-1 exhaust giving better bhp top end and a much better 200 cell cat and a twin exhaust 182 ecu map was VERY SLIGHTY more aggressive 182 trophy has an RS inlet manifold which was the best of the bunch, odd 182 and 172...

meh! - I deffo got more noise and about as much performance improvement as having a big poo before getting in the car.

ITG panel filter and cleaning spray currently for sale for ne1 interested ;) http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=467503

There is a sensor on the rear axle which detects weight at the rear and boot and adjusts the lights accordingly - possibly indicating a fault there depending if they are changing as a pair or individually.
