    Getting 8 miles less a bar after fitting new tyres!

    No change at all. Everything the same. As soon as the new tyres went on, the miles changed. Wish i had got the Hankooks again

    Getting 8 miles less a bar after fitting new tyres!

    Lol. The fuel gauge is digital and has around 8 bars when filled up completely. It normally drops down one bar after 50-52 miles. But now its dropping down after just 44 miles.

    Getting 8 miles less a bar after fitting new tyres!

    the title might read strange i know.... I have just had 2 new front tyres put on the 1.2 mk2 and we have gone from getting 50-52 miles (per bar on the digital style dials) to now getting 44 miles. We have gone from hankook k115 to Continental premium contact 5. They are both C rating for...

    Austin's OEM+ BG 182

    Im sure ps4's start in 17" ? I dont want to waste money on it with something that isnt essential. The standard suspension feels great and really compfy after years of being low and bumpy.

    Austin's OEM+ BG 182

    I then put together the standard strut. I then scratched my head wondering how on earth i was going to fit this back in place and get the bolt spaces to allign !?!? Following advice I used a bar to pry down the hub and finally after lots of wriggling around and swearing, I saw that open hole...

    Austin's OEM+ BG 182

    The clio failed its MOT last week for a weakened front strut. I have wanted to change the coilovers back to standard set up for a while now so this gave me the motivation to do it. I mentioned a while back how I wanted to start learning to do work on the car myself and not waste money paying...

    Help, in the middle of changing suspension - which way round?

    Yea mate, i dropped the axle all the way down. Actually had to hold the springs in place while jacking the axle back up as there was that much of a gap they were falling back out.

    Help, in the middle of changing suspension - which way round?

    Cheers. On this picture, does the spacer part go under the m14x1 bolt i need then? Or does that form part of the very top part of the mount that you would see from the engine bay?

    Help, in the middle of changing suspension - which way round?

    Thanks for your help mate. So, the bolt pictures in the ebay add. Is that the bolt for the damper /springs / metal cap and lower part of the top mount. Or is that the bolt that is the very final piece which you would see from the engine bay keeping the very top part of the top mount on?

    Help, in the middle of changing suspension - which way round?
