    Rubbish Fog Lights

    you have to take them off to have a look, but it's likely that they're a sealed unit - so you'd probably need to renew them

    172 cup rear shocks

    they're not much more expensive from Renault (£55ish?). just need to be aware that the 172Cup dampers are different to the 172's

    Best Internet Deals for Unlimited Internet. How good is BT, Sky and Virgin Media ?

    Re: Best Internet Deals for Unlimited Internet. How good is BT, Sky and Virgin Media have a good look on moneysavingsexpert.com as well, as there's a fair amount of useful info and links on there

    Brand New 172 Cup OEM Steering Wheel

    i don't know how much they are - just thought i'd read that sum mentioned. are you sure 197 wheel's are 'only' £150? seems cheap ed. that ebay wheel went for £210

    Where to put a jack for center lifting.

    it's 'safe' to jack in the middle of the beam, providing the jack's secure i've been doing it, but have been wary due to what you hear about the beams bending easily. it's been for three geo checks whilst i've had it though, and there's been no change in the rear geometry

    Borderlands

    the weapons generate randomly and there are so many permutations that you can get lucky with their stats. got a few that are properly kick-ass, which all seem to be around high 30s in level you can't level beyond 50 as a player, the max weapon level seems to be 48, although enemies can go to 51

    Car pulling to right/steering wheel wonky - STILL

    think you said you'd had someone OK them, but are you sure the pads/calipers are ok? it's worth spending a little time to take the pads out and clean everything up (posted a brief guide to this a little while ago) i've had people muck up wheel balancing before now as well but you could try...

    think it's silicone fluid you need to wary of

    Cats, whos had this done?

    looks as though all you need is a piece of pipe and a welder the one in the first photo just looks tack welded - presumably a mock up, as it won't be gas tight

    ARB bushes

    shouldn't take a garage long at all, as they'll be able to get at them properly from a pit/lift. half an hour's labour?

    How Long, Brakes?

    try the other bedding in procedure to see if they improve. there's a 'greening' phase that you should put compo pads through before they'll perform as well as they can. they might just be poor from cold, of course; although haven't seen many people complain about DS2500s

    Odd Vibrations

    is there any way the ABS ring might not be sat as it should? or do they locate positively? just wondering if the new one could be misaligned, causing some sort of wheel/hub balance problem

    Tracking - why can't garages get it right!

    you don't need fancy equipment - all any of them do is set the toe between the front wheels, as that's all that's adjustable. the relationship is between the two front wheels and involving the rears is irrelevant bunch of things that could be affecting it but really wouldn't surprise me if all...

    Tracking - why can't garages get it right!

    i hate getting the tracking done and am glad we've a Protyre in Bristol, as they're the only outfit i've used who've yet to muck it up. it's such a simple thing, but people just use the wrong values, knackered equipment, or simply don't take the basic level of care required to get it right. i'd...

    removing track rod ends?

    they tend to seize; may need oxy gear to get them off

    Suspected gearbox whine

    assuming it's definitely coming from the front, only other possibilities are brakes/driveshafts if you decide it's the diff/gearbox, try changing the oil to see if that helps at all. they can go on for ages, making noises, or they could seize tomorrow - probably a 'live with it' thing until/if...

    ARB bushes

    assuming these are the RS inners and you have got the right bushes (should be able to compare with the olds?), just need to persevere

    Harness Clips (for eyebolts)

    yep, they have holes for split pins/etc sorry ph-reebone, thought they were usually stitched in

    Harness Clips (for eyebolts)

    i thought they were usually non-removeable. are you trying to change harness fittings in a car? was going to suggesting trying mountineering shops if you just want some sort or spring catch that'll latch onto eyebolts (that aren't being used as seat belts in a car)

    Harness Clips (for eyebolts)

    are you asking about the ends of the harnesses (think they're called spring catches), or the eye bolts that screw into the shell?

    197 steering on 182

    hmm.. with an airbag connection?

    197 steering on 182

    looks great. also interested, but guess wheels from scrap cars are going to be very rare and relatively expensive does this mean that wheels from lesser Clio3s will also fit?

    Space Saver On 172 Cup (2003)

    i've a spare Turini in mine; it's had both 205 and 195 tyres on it, and they'll both fit in the well not sure if you can get space savers; 15" steel's probably the lightest bet if not

    Angle-grinder aftermath on the car

    depends how badly it's all burnt into the paint i guess. could try clay, then abrasive polish?

    Steering wheel vibration when travelling above 70mph

    don't know how it operates, but there's some sort of switch in the PAS system that's supposed to regulate idle on full lock/load - it's screwed into the PAS pump pipe (directly infront of alternator. it's common that they leak from that joint, but don't know if that affects its operation)

    Front gearbox mount, picture?

    have you got the workshop manual? there's an illustration in there (can email them to you if you haven't) ed. actually, if you search, there are online links to the manual - the illustration is in section 19.5

    Petrol light staying on?? help!!

    this may be a red herring as i don't know how the gauge sender is configured, but have you checked the leads as they attach to the fuel pump under the rear seats? could be that one of them is the tank sender and has a corroded terminal or something
