Yeah Speedlines were a 200 option I think.

Yeah that's the sort of hissing I was on about. Sounds a bit like air going into a balloon as you're blowing it up.

Needs to go to a proper AC place really. Kwik Fit don't even do it right most of the time. The hissing noise is just the system low on refrigerant (or at least it has been on cars i've had). As a ballpark, Clios tend to take around 400-500grams of refrigerant (from memory) and you certainly...

If they are factory fit items (which it sounds like they are, apart from the repaired exhaust) then the insurance are idiots and you need to argue it with them or get the ombudsman involved.

Was a good weekend that.

You won't get the right one on Euro based off the reg for some reason. These are the ones you want - 617745225 https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/617745225

Make sure the tag end of those harnesses go back over and through the buckle again to finish them properly when you do the cage.

Try not to over wet the alcantara too.

Get a plug with a tail of wire off a breaker and crimp/seal butt connector it back on.

Didn't @frayz have some at one point?

You know i was joking 😘 I think the material was a bit thin or something from memory?

I think he made the file better since then.

@Louis test printed me some years ago and they were shite. HTH 😂

The Loctite SI 5980 is just black silicone and definitely not the one to be using unless very careful. The guy in that video, James, he's built loads so knows how much sealant to put on so it's probably ok for him. Too much and it'll ooze out into oil ways. The 518 @Brigsy mentioned or the...

If Korrosol won't shift it, you'll need the acid @imprezaworks uses.

Solid compression results them.

Might want to confirm the dimensions on that listing, but they should be right and TRW is a decent OEM brand.

Yeah it's around factory spec, they're anywhere from -1 to -1.5 and 20'-30' toe in per side. Dial it in to -2.5 and 10' toe in per side and it'll be sound. Don't really want parallel toe on the rear unless you like it tail happy.

Yeah, these are oem style bushes: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/trw/2196462 or you could fit Powerflex poly ones.

Your 182 should have about -1.5 of camber as it stands currently i'd imagine. Another degree should do it.

As Rob said, all 182's had the wishbones with the extra caster. You're better off having yours blasted, having owned from new at least you know they're straight and true.

The dephaser is active from 1800rpm to around 6500rpm, so the kick isn't from that. More so the engine getting into peak VE. Worth seeing what it's like after swapping the exhaust back after the MOT.

See what it's like after the alignment. Although it might be worth checking for any play in the ball joints and any lower arm bushes before the alignment. At least then you can change them before wasting money having to get the alignment done twice.

That's a new one, not heard that before 😂

Lucky there like you say mate. Definitely can't trust old rubber.

@FrogJam Motorsport have an offer on PBS i think. Be worth trying the ProComp.

Yeah they're the slow chargers I use.

Do you have a fast or slow charger? Mine is sometimes fussy with the fast charger, so I do the M12 stuff with the slow. Or you could try jumping it with another M12 if you have one.

I only ran them on track then took them out and swapped for road pads afterwards. They can rust to the discs if used daily, with them being a fully sintered metal compound.

I've used both. PBS are good value for money and last ages, however RC6's are massively better in terms of bite. They pull your face off tbh. They do wear quite quick though, i was getting about 2-3 track days out of them. I tried the new PBS ProComp pads just before i sold the Clio and they...
