Hi All
I recently took my car to the Samco head office for them to make some new parts for it. Anyway while I was there they asked me if I knew anyone or could find anyone with a clio 197 that would be willing to take their car into them for them to make a set of water pipes/induction pipes...

I know loads of people will probably have loads of negative comments to say about various rolling roads etc but I have never used one before so have nothing to compare my results to.
Rolling road was as Westec in Newport South Wales using their 1500+bhp Dastek Rolling Road

my clocks keep sort of jumping about when I start the car - make a nasty noise then sorts itself out - i have been told battery might need replacing - I charged the battery last wek and its doing it again - I guess battery coukd be nackered or something draining battery whilst car switched off...
Bought my dad a PC polisher for christmas - he used it today for the first time on his black X3 BMW - he said it looks brilliant but still would have expected better - still got some swirls. He did say he was a bit nervous using it (didnt want to burn paint) so that might be why but I think a...

When I turn the key to start the car the speedo needle flickers about really badly for about 3 seconds and makes a really bad clicking noise - never done it before - s**t myself until I realised what it was!

Anyone use any of the professional range of Zymol Waxes etc - I was given a pack for christmas from my dad - top grade s**t - costs a packet but any one know if its any good??

About 6 months ago I had the bumpstrips stolen off my 172 and about 6 dents added to my car in the process - all was sorted that week as FCS was the following weekend and cost me £400 to sort out
Anyway in the process of robbing my parts the little c**t left some blood on my door which the...

Had a decat - emissions light came on
Now have a 100 cell sorts cat - bloody light has come on - any one got any ideas as to how to stop it (other than not conecting the second sensor) and if I dont connect the second sensor is the car going to be really rough when cold?

Heres a selection of the photos Ive sorted out so far
more to come later on today
Been told various peoples opinions about what diameter exhaust is best to have on a clio 172 and now not sure who to believe!
Exhaust centre in Cardiff told me that because only a 2.0 car the engine will not produce enough gasses to warrant having anything bigger than 2 inch as it will mess up...
When you change your decat back to standard cat do you have to have your emissions light reset or does it automatically work out that the emissions are now ok and turn off?
