    Lil Smurf, Daily Driven OEM+

    Good work, Jesus those tints are dark! I like seeing people play with parts from other models to make upgrades like you have done with the scenic bits!

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    na I managed to do it with it in place, I removed the support brace that goes across the length of the subframe to get my hand up, removed the heat shield material that covers the bulkhead and rack etc, I was lucky I was doing it on a 4 poster but I was alone so it was constant up and down to...

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    Still been loving this, not been much to report until this week, I picked up a 200 gearbox with the shorter ratios, going to pull it apart and do the 3rd and 4th gear syncros and swap it over. Ordered a new genuine clutch, slave cylinder and gearbox mount for when i get round to that, hopefully...

    172 helicopter rattle

    given the clutch makes no difference then it can really only be the tyre, wheel, driveshaft or bearing? check the driveshaft hub nut is tight, sure they are like 280nm or something, seen them not torqued properly make odd noises

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    haha yeah the comments from the neighbours have got a bit boring on the subject! I've tried a few other things but nothing ticks all the boxes as well, and cheaply!

    Not getting up to temp?

    ive had to put a thermostat on every one of mine, first thing i do when i buy one as they never get up to temp properly. New thermostat and coolant flush and they are good as gold again!

    Spark plug issue?

    known people to trap a lead under the inlet manifold when refitting and toast the lead (me :ROFLMAO: ) but it seems you have already ruled that out?

    Activating cruise control on Clio III

    Find someone local or a specialist with clip and they will be able to activate it, a dealership will be doing it but its just finding one friendly and interested enough to want to do it, getting a tech to do it wont be an issue as a lot of them are our type of people but its getting through the...

    182 cup pack spring options, shocks and top mounts ?

    That was my cup on Eibach Pro Lines - sat pretty much standard to me (maybe a tad lower since cups did always look very high at the front) but certainly didn't look "lowered"

    Rockingham isn't a car park!

    been a couple of times when FCS was there 2009 and 2010 I think I was there? always thought it was a pretty cool place if a little disused! used to like watching the BTCC races there on TV

    Fixing air feed

    I fixed one of mine with black electrical tape, a full roll over the entire length nice and tight and it almost looked factory lol

    Engine Misfire Clio 3 56plate 1.2 16v Expression

    Jesus! That would never have been an expensive fix when you had good compression. A decent diagnosis rather than the parts cannon would have been a start

    Exhaust upgrade..akrapovic

    Best sounding exhaust for these imo, in fact with the flat spot issues on others, its probably the only worth while option?!

    Question about Clio 172 steering

    It depends what your used to, compared to modern stuff with super fast electric PAS, the steering feels heavy, compared to older stuff it will feel lighter!

    Questions about RS tuner

    one of the best mods you can do to them imo, I've done it to every one I've owned, the smoother idle and cold start behaviour is a nice advantage but for me the extra mid range and raised limiter is much nicer!

    Bleeding the abs

    Yes I did! Removed the main connector from the abs pump, gave it a good clean with contact cleaner, plugged it in and out a few times, blew it out with compressed air and re fitted, was all good after that!

    Low mileage 1.2 8v

    Great buy, next to nothing to go wrong! - even cable throttle! I run about in a ph1 with the same engine, terrifying trying to join the motorway from a short slip road :ROFLMAO:

    Martin's 197 Lux Project

    Couple of jobs carried out this week on the 197. First up was a set of 4x Michelin PS4 - long overdue, never been so glad to get rid of the Landsail budget crap that it came with - totally transformed it as expected! a new lower engine mount and upper engine stabilizer mount, just went genuine...

    Rstuner

    I'm not sure trading standards cover the Philippines lol he will deliver, he's been running the business for years and years and the rstuner map is still one of the best mods you can do to a mk2 clio RS

    Rstuner

    tbh Henks service can be slow BUT in my experience he always comes through. The last few I've done I've just bought the RStuner new and his service has been spot on with those
