Good morning, Attempted to do my torsion bar this weekend but didnt have a big enough socket!! Its a phase 3 mk 1 - so its a closed casing on it!!! Had a 36 which didnt fit round the out side, so i thought id be clever and use a big washer (well exhaust bracket) to pull it out, which...

Fitted this provisionally last night, its the bees, for a lil unit it does punch a fair old bit!!! Made my speakers rattle though as i haven't managed to but my fronts in yet!! Got to buy some 10cm for the back and jobs a good one!! Cheers, Dumpy

I thought this also, but my garage told me otherwise, will find out definately tomorrow which was gone!!! Cheers, Dumpy

It would be good for us MK1'ers to know a guide any way if there is one!! Cheers, Dumpy

I'm getting mine done this week, and its costing me about £60+ VAT, so not too bad!! The reason they cost a lot is because they are pressed bearings, so you would struggle to it by yur self, unless you have the propper tools!! Although you can do it with a vice and a clamp so i've heard from...

Just got me one of these bad boys!! Any body got one??? Want to know your opinions on it if possible!! Cheers, Dumpy

Fair enough, i am still struggling to find any pics of mirrors, on or off a clio!! I would really like a link or something, if you've got one!! Hmm, well i think my standard ones are too bulky and big for the car, but thats my opinion, and i cant seem to find any with half decent electric...

Fair point, thanks for your opinion!!! Does anybody know a link so i can judge them??? I have seen some in halfrauds but they are expensive, and manual!! Cheers, Dumpy

One has been broke for a while, so on my mk1, what shall i get, and anyone know where to order them from, as they are electric cant find them?? I have antracite wheels, on a green car, so i think the carbon fibre effect will look good!! Searched on the net but know one seems to have them...

where are you getting these for £55?? Cheers, Dumpy

Cheers!!

Hi, Heard alot lately about cars been broken into and stolen etc, lately!! I have seen a video a while back where a test guy takes a hammer or something to a car window after this securiy film was placed on the in side of the window and he propper smashes it for about a minute, then swaps...

There is a trouble version in quicksilver or something like that, id go for them!!! Cheers, Dumpy

Any body know if this would work?? Cheers, Dumpy

Is it possible to therfore but the Valver/Williams after market disks on as long as you have the callipers off a williams?? The reason i say this is because surely the disks from valvers/williams fitted onto a RT (standard valver/williams stuff) would fit no trouble, so surely after market...

Mine did this alot with the standard wheels on, i.e steelies, but since i put my alloys on it doesnt happen, or i havent noticed it!! I know this may sound like im taking the p1ss but im not, try braking as you go into the corner :S i did this and didnt seem to do it as much, but did it a...

Thanks for that mate, but i think i want shocks too!! Ok, ill see what happens in the near future!! Cheers, Dumpy

Not too sure about the 16v ones as they will be second hand, want some new ones!! Anybody know what aftermarket ones?? I think i will change the rear ones too!! Thanks, Dumpy

Hi, I am after some of these after market ones, and was wondering what the best all round ones i should use?? I have 17"s on my beast and only want it lowered at an absolute maximum of 50m, preferably 40mm!! Any body know what springs and shocks i should get?? Plus, i hear the back...

I work for a phone company, and we often get the opportunity to play with phones!! I thought this phone was ok, had pretty much everything, bluetooth, infrared, can only play MP3's as ringtones, etc. but doesn't have any external memory, so sort of limits as to what it can do, and it seemed a...

Try sanding the rusty bits down, prime and paint them, it will tidy them up!! If you want it to look special paint it a different colour!! If the backs of the seats look dull, either do the same or give it a good polish, should smarten it up a bit!! Or you could do a big boot install...
