He's after something to clean the plastics on the inside of his 3 series that can preferably be applied by...

    Nimbus 197, Wrotham hill, 5pm

    I paused my phone call, wound down my window, and listened to your lovely exhaust which tore all the way to the redline and did some little burbles.

    Clonking going over bumps

    Now I know there are loads of threads about knocking and it being the top mounts. I have this clonk in the DCI when going over bumps at any speed above about 10. In other threads I've read about it being when you're on full lock etc but nothing about speed. ARB bushes and links are new. Is...

    Best thermos to fit in the clio cup holder

    As I now seem to spend most of my life driving here there and everywhere I'm after a cheap (less than a tenner) travel mug which fits perfectly in the clio cup holder and is as big as possible. I love tea but driving with a normal travel mug in my lap is a little inconvenient at times. Having...

    Dci on-board compute

    In the DCI at the moment I have no on board computer. I've done a search and it seems people say "you don't have it" Of course the ECU support this data as other higher spec cars of the same age have this facility. What do I need to do to get it? Can I just change the stalk or is it the dash...

    NON-clio mechanical advice really needed

    Crucify me if this is the wrong section but this forum is full of knowledge. Currently looking at one of my familys fiat 500. It has a horrible loud wuring noise whilst driving. It's not rev related and the noise gets louder the faster you go. Here's a little video. I've checked and can't see...

    DCI 65 cambelt change, few questions

    This will need doing shortly on Claude. Heard they have a free spinning crank (or something). What does this mean to me when changing the belt. I know all the plastic guards need removing, aux belt etc. Anyone done one of these and know a rough method and how long it would take. Also what...

    1 quick MOT question

    The DCI's middle brake light isn't lighting up when the peddle is pressed. The other 2 in the clusters are fine. Would this fail and MOT as it's coming up next week and I'm snowed under.

    Stripping the clio as much as possible but still MOT worthy

    Thankfully I've managed to save enough to keep the 182 whilst I go to uni. I'll be starting to strip the car this week to make it race car and want to be as extreme as possible with no cost involvement at this point. I'm swayed to be slightly cautious though as the car might still need to pass...

    My friends 172 outer boots have split. Whats the best place to get this done local to me? Spoke to ren7oaks, £125 plus vat. Sounds pretty reasonable to me but thought I'd ask around. Need them done by next Friday.

    Crash camera review with video sample of a butt head

    Thought I'd post up about a new toy I got in the post yesterday. It's the new Parksafe PSDVR009. For those who read autoexpress you may have seen int advertised. Supposed to be over £150 when I spoke to the lad on the phone but a misprint sees it down to £99. I'm sure most folk have seen...

    Waterpump lost a fin and it's lost forever.

    Took the water pump off today and found this. The missing fin is no where to be seen. Not in the pipes, rad or as far as I can venture into the block. I'm mainly concerned about it getting back into the new pump and shredding it and reducing flow. What would you do?

    Techron fuel additive

    Whilst enjoying the peace and quiet of the bathroom throne I read an interesting article in auto express about Techron fuel additive. Now I normally think these things do very little as I have never noticed any difference after a bottle of redex. This one has had an independent test carried out...

    Swapping dci dash loom for 182 dash loom

    Odd question and I imagine no one has any experience of this. Hypothetically if I broke my 182 at the end of the year would I be able to transfer the interior loom, alarm and climate control into the DCI pov spec. I'm most interested in the cruise control function as my DCI doesn't have the...

    Flashing EML light, occasional misfire, suggestions needed!!

    Another problem! third this week. I've got a flashing eml light, the one below the cruise control light. It's only does it occasionally, mainly when on idle but also sometimes does it when driving along, could be at any speed. Usually stays on for about 30 seconds before going off. New coil...

    Heat spots and disc markings (pictures enclosed)

    Had this problem for some time now. Thought the recent discs and ducting would resolve it. I've only driven up and down my road a couple of times and the marks have come up again. On both of my discs in exactly the same places. Discs are Brembo HC's and pads are RC5+ On my previous discs I had...

    Ticking noise (video enclosed) front o/s but not carbon canister

    Silly clio! If you don't know i've done quite a heap of work on the clio recently to get her up to scratch for the summer. Now I've got this noise. Its not the carbon canister as it's been removed (valve has been unplugged to test). It's not dephaser as it's brand new. Doesn't do it when I...
