This. Threads with issues from non OEM spark plugs are probably second only to cambelt problem threads. Non OEM spark exiting through cylinder head example 1 http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?672766-172-blown-a-spark-plug-out&highlight=bosch+spark+plug Non OEM spark exiting through...

The hardline with lots of 90deg bends that goes into the calliper? Shouldn't stretch as that's the point of a hardline, but mine became quite bent and it was like standing on a hose pipe. They're very brittle though so I wouldn't try to bend it back. No one in Wolverhampton Renault could tell...

Absolute PITA when this happens. I suspect when you eventually get it off you'll find that whoever last fitted the discs didn't install the spacer between the hub and bearing. As a result all the 175 Nm hub nut does is push the bearing up onto a very slight radius where it becomes a press fit...

And a Nissan GTR is only about 40% more than a 318d once you tick a few options :rasp: I agree it represents better value for money, but 120GB & a write speed that is 12x faster than my current SSD is adequate. I hope that doesn't come across as typical CS "asking for advice and ignoring it"...

Forget what it looks like. You need some static camber to stop you under steering into a hedge. As a vehicle body rolls negative camber is lost on the outside wheel and negative camber is gained on the inside wheel. A car is setup with static negative camber so that as you corner the...

Thanks for the suggestion & links. Think I'll go with the 120 on the basis of cost. OS is kept very very clean & I'm used to having everything else on a conventional drive anyway. Never been a fan of dumping 15GB worth of Far Cry on an SSD just for the sake of quicker load screens anyway.

I'm considering replacing my Intel X25v - If you can't remember what one of those is, it's because it's ancient. What's the current low-down on budget SSDs? Best bang for buck around the 128GB mark? On the face of it the Sandisk X110 has by far the highest read/write but what are...

0deg camber isn't the greatest idea I've ever seen on CS... Go for standard settings if you want your tyres to last longer or if you're feeling sporty people tend to find -1.5 a decent road compromise.

Hold it against bumper. Screw a self-tapping screw straight trough everything. If you want to be posh drill pilot holes & cut tabs in arch liners to avoid having to remove the splitter to remove arch liner/bumper.

Track width?

Assuming spark plugs are ok then it sounds like an underlying problem. Don't know your part of the country so don't know where people go. Mick @ Diamond Motors in Nottingham? Dan @ 519 Automotive in Bedford? Sounds like a trek. LOL. Bosch Super 4 by any chance? Bang...

Consensus is genuine OEM plugs only. Loads of threads about non-OEM plugs causing all sorts of misfire, idle, power issues etc. NGK-PFR6e-10 Actually very reasonably priced. Adam @ Wolverhampton (cheap as chips as he works at the main Renault UK parts distribution warehouse thing so some...

Agreed that constructive input is probably fairer than just calling someone an idiot etc. but... People aren't disagreeing cause they're "too cool for skool." They're disagreeing because there has been thread upon thread decats all concluding that you loose a massive 1 or 2 Nm high up and loose...

Must admit I haven't read anything on this car previous - saw xenon washers (so assumed it wasn't a converted cup) and cup spoiler (so assumed it had one if not both cup packs)

"Part exchange: Vauxhall Monaro"

Recaros AND Racing Blue AND full fat. GO AWAY. Such a rare combination that I did not have the patience to wait for :(

Skoda dealer. £11. /end thread. Honestly there's so much about it on the forum it's a total waste of energy me regurgitating it all :rasp: - have a search! * OEM splitter is £110 odd and is a brittle not bendy plastic. * KTec carbon splitter is £120 and even worse at breaking into many...

This! I might have misunderstood you but it sounds as though it could reasonably look like an attempt at fronting (it reads like you bought a new car and insured it through your mum). It's always good to know what to expect to avoid nasty surprises especially with insurance (I've recently...

Well use the search feature then :rasp: 20Nm as above. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?687911-172-182-Torque-Wrench-Settings&highlight=top+mount+torque

Not really worth bothering with corner weighting. It's a road car that spends maybe 0.000000001% of it's time at the limit of the tyres' grip & corner weighting would be immediately invalid as soon as you have a passenger, luggage or fuel. If one bush was very very worn (or failed) compared to...

Roll steer. McPherson (is there a word for when the beginning of two words rhyme? McGherkin McPherson?).

Toothpaste is a mild abrasive, just like car polish... However, just like polish, you can't just slap a thick load on and leave it there lol. Anyway that's all redundant, 1500 grit wet & dry produces great results on bad headlights relatively fast, relatively easily and for about 50p...

Budget plenty of time at the event! Last year was a disaster. Turned up mid morning, went for a "quick" look at some planes, got back to the carpark to find it was dark and everything but 4 or 5 Vees had gone home :o

Have you used the internet before? :o I searched "clio sport replica" for all but 2 of the below (for which I tried "clio modified" and on CS.net "non sport") ebay...

Well then why not just buy a 172 the same colour and stick the number plates from your 1.2 on it... If you have a read of the terms & conditions it'll undoubtedly say that your insurance is very likely to be automatically void if you don't declare modifications. Clearly some people think it's...

Plenty of people have done it, but I think you'll get a nasty shock at the cost of insurance. A rep is a modified car just like any other. Bumpers front/rear Wings/skirts Spoiler Splitter Exhaust Alloy wheels Lowered suspension Spacers Upper grill Seats Door cards Steering wheel...

^^^ Thanks for the confirmation of tuner being different to update list in that respect.

Don't you have to go into the menu of the standard headunit and enable the "aux in?" Pretty sure I'm not entirely making that up. ***Assuming it's the same for update list*** 1) Open the user manual for your car. 2) I would recommend skipping straight to page 19 "English. " 3) Read the...

FLOL. However given the camouflage bonnet, at least we know it's not serious.

TBF the vast majority of that is just wear and tear (tyres, pads, exhaust, handbrake cables maybe)...
