for the 5 minutes it takes i would just stick a pair of eBay used springs in, cost about £15 delivered! take it for a retest then swap back out, assuming your happy the rear springs you have are not going to actually fall out on the road lol or just make a wooden spacer and pop them in to really...

i take it your running lowering springs not coilovers? or is it coilovers with the rear adjusters removed?

Shifted my kangoo daily this week, this is back on eBay ending today again, let's see if its 2nd time lucky starting at £3.5k!

mine never used to do that back in the day

yellow is the most desirable colour in the 197, if it was the going rate they would have sold by now. That second one has been up for months

as above, lock everything then loosen all pulleys, remove timing end locking tool, replace dephaser, belt, idler, tensioner etc. set tensioner, torque cam pulleys to 30nm and lower to 80nm, unlock everything, turn engine over by hand a couple of times. lock it all again and make sure the...

depends on the scrappy, my local place probably £30-£50, benefit is you get to move upto 260mm vented front discs from 240mm solid discs

Get yourself to the scrappys and get a pair of 58mm hubs, callipers and discs and then order 58mm coilovers.

same mate, i know this was a part service history, needing a bit of work car but for over a month there, it was the cheapest 200 for sale bar none! and that's with no blowing manifold flexis, no swivel hub failure, no gearbox issues and a fresh belt change! i felt that was priced fair! So into...

Was up for £4500 with no bites! Went on eBay auction starting at £3500 and never sold! what am I missing? It's now about to become my daily beater as I'm not giving it away!

that looks as high quality as anything else out there imo! not had time to read any of it yet but ill check it out

awesome, nice to see a setup where they keep the customer informed with pics, shows they are confident in their work! looks top notch!

can't see why not. The doors are the same and the switch gear etc!

another silly job, while at the scrappys i grabbed good condition rear eyelets from the rear foot well as mine were rusty! - A small job but they all add up!

Not much to report on this lately! The ABS and ESP light came on with a warning for the rear ABS sensor so assumed it would be the brackets that hold the ABS sensor in as its fairly common for them to corrode to nothing.... While i was there i done rear discs and pads on it since the discs were...

good advice above didn't know about the Citroen brakes! The option to use 172 callipers would probably involve moving over to a wide track front end, so swapping ARB, lower arms, Hubs, brakes and suspension. - A worthwhile upgrade but getting harder and costly to source the bits.

as has already been mentioned, buy a good quality starter and make sure the factory heatshield is fitted and there shouldn't be an issue. looks like this Renault Clio Sport 172 182 F4R Starter Motor Exhaust Manifold Heat Shield | eBay

I've no experience with it but the Dacia Sandero stepway uses a VERY similar front suspension setup. you could probably find something that works

That looks like Dye to me from the condenser

I think the acoustic properties of a car are a hell of a lot more of an issue than the current getting to the amps Haha

World's gone mad when people are changing alternator cables for car audio quality. That's before we get to the horsepower 👀

hard to tell from that video, got any pics of the front of the engine? is it dry down there?

The AC system oil will generally have a green die in it so you can leak check it using a UV light so you might find thats what it is, but it generally just runs it shouldn't be dripping much. Check the lower rad hose is on tight as the clamp down there can corrode and snap off and the pipe can...

AC condenser is in front of the radiator, if a stone punctures it then you will get a hiss. You should see marks on the front of the condenser where the oil thats added to the system is staining the condenser as it runs down. if there is still a bit of pressure in the system then you will see...

How old are the tyres?

what's powering them? if its the standard head unit, then just stick standard speakers!

Good work, glad to see its still going strong 💪

I had the KTR Centre line on mine, it wasn't cheap but Imo it was perfect, this was with a silenced decat, and it was borderline too quiet which is perfect for me! And because it has its own mounting system it always sat perfectly!

only at the coil? that will cause you to have the wrong firing order hence running on 2 cyl

This is why I'm reluctant to part with my 1.2 8v! she's always working when everything else isn't!
