Very nice mate, shame about the no photos, be nice to see a project thread for this.

Bonnet release cable grommet, can be seen looking up the passenger foot well.

Not in a straight line no, I can only replicate the noise myself driving in a tight full lock going right (and sometimes left) under acceleration blips. When the missus drives it, it does it on corners but she says because im in the passengers side it makes it less obvious. Giving an example...

f**k knows tbh Fred I've had my head under the car, spinning wheels and testing left to right up and down, and Im unsure of anything. My girlfriends the second owner, her work colleague bought it from Suzuki new on an 04 plate, has been serviced well but being a cheap car from the start its...

Yeah i see what your saying mate, The noise is very rapid for something like a ball joint, not having experienced loads of different noises im just thinking of things that could be the noise so that rules out lower ball joints (although the drivers needs changing lol) Do you think it could be...

I cant work out what you've done going from what you've said, it looks like you've taken off the black down to the primer, but in your post your saying they will look better black? Hard to tell from the pic.

Im not sure what Mk1 steelies PCD are, but mk2 is 4x100 I think, so if you go to a scrappies and find that fitment they should fit.

Im in Theydon Bois mate, but its the girlfriends car, shes only back every other weekend until her university year ends in a few weeks. I think ill just have to take it to a garage and play dumb and hope they can spot the problem?, im thinking drivers inner tie or lower ball joints. At a push...

Ive watched Jack Osbourne's Mongol rally thing a few times on repeat. Looks like an amazing thing to do. From seeing that id be taking plenty of bodge materials like cable ties and duct tape. And they went through many many rims and tyres. Probably a few snapped suspension springs too.

Fellas could do with some more help. Today I changed over the drivers CV thanks for the advise ditz, I would have been truely f**ked without the circlip pliers, however it still look me AGES and i rekon about 50 attempts to get it off. Circlip was pinging off all the time and eventually when it...

Cheers Russ, ill have a look into the rest and see about replacing them :)

Cheers Daniel ;) at the mileage its on I think the plugs need changing anyway, so ill go through the motions.

Cheers for the reply's, Daniel i agree but this isn't likely to happen, as long as the car moves it wont have any unneeded attention because its just a runner. Ive found the obd2 code reader fairly accurate in the past? not very good overall then? And i don't have another car to switch parts...

Anyone have any opinions?

I wasnt sure where to put this, the car isnt a clio is a honda civic 1.6 on 128k miles. Its my girlfriends mum's and she use it a few times a week, being a honda it runs well still, its been serviced on and off by a friend mechanic of hers but tbh i wouldnt say its been treated like a baby car...

Been a long time since i changed mine, and i changed it for LEDs. but im pretty sure its 286 or t5 fitment. I took mine to renault and they charged me 30p a bulb...

After watching many traffic cops you also need to make sure you're not insured if you're a real dealer to complete the look, and just hope not to be caught.

Okay thanks for the info thats one thing i was wondering with the clip. Ill get some of these just incase. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4-PIECE-COMBINATION-INTERNAL-EXTERNAL-CIRCLIP-PLIER-SET-CIR-SIR-/270933996326?pt=UK_Hand_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3f14ecb326#ht_903wt_1163 Do those look the...

Cheers Ditz that really helps mate :) On the replacement CV package picture, the replacement clip looks like the ends point up wards like / \, I guess these are the type that need separating? I will have a go, if not ill wack it off and replace the clip. Ive seen some videos where the person...

Havent managed to get the job done this weekend as the courier service didn't deliver even though i paid for Saturday delivery :mad: The joint has a fresh boot on with plenty of grease inside, doesn't make any noise in a straight line or have any vibrations or clicks, its only the tapping when...

AS Tardis should work.

I did think it could be that but reserved myself in case i was wrong ;) That aside I really hope one day I'm knowledgeable to tackle an engine refresh project. a lot of lubricants and one toilet brush may look worrying to an outsider.

Something to do with the thing in the 3rd pic, middle right i would guess... whats that? Also thought Jizer was "Jizzer" lol.

Got to do the job this weekend. My main question is if I have to remove the drivers drive shaft will it be likely gear box oil will pour out? I don't know if its bolted on or anything, as I seem to remember on the Clio one side is one side isn't bolted on. Im hoping things go to plan and i can...

Someone is having an ear'gasm in the passenger seat. Sounds good!

Nice additions so far :) When pasting the flickr pics in you might be better off chosing the next size up? (medium 640) as the others come up small.

I'd say so, have a look at my project thread if you want to see what my bottle covered.

When i changed the boot i undid the nut and pulled the whole hub and suspension shalf to one side, then i used a cone kit to stretch the boot over the CV joint. (saying that to show it wasnt a major ballache job on this car removing the suspension strut etc) I assumed all CV joints where...

Its not a Clio but I would guess the answer will cater for most cars anyway.. I changed the CV boot on my girlfriends Suzuki alto, it was a temporary fix that i was hoping would be fine for a long time, unfortunately the bearings have been exposed to road dirt and water too long and the joint is...

Bad times, really enjoyed reading all the rest of the updates the other day at work, hope its back up and running soon.
