    Fixing Aircon? (Pic Inside)

    Basically, I need to know what I need to change. Went to qwikfit in the hope of having my aircon topped up today, only to find it had a leak, before putting dye through, to check where the leak was, the bloke and I had a quick feel around the engine to see if we could locate it. We did. Air...

    Part No. Request:

    The two nuts that go ontop of the top mounts? & The two "skinny nuts" that hold everything together whilst you try to put the strut back in? I've been informed they don't come with the top mount kit, so need to get these ASAP! Cheers.

    How To Remove Compbrake Topmounts?

    I did ask before but got no real answer... I never fitted these so I'm pretty clueless. Do you have to undo the top large nut, then undo the "body" with a cspanner? Also, what can I expect to find underneath? Anyone got a pic not fitted? Pic:

    iPhone 4 Screen Protector?

    Who has one already? At the moment I've just cut the taps of the plastic that comes on it, so it sits flush it I can't catch it, but the buttons are a b**ch to press and I can't hear much... lol! Anyways, my question, where can I get screenprotectors for both front and back? As obviously the...

    Parts to replace top mounts?

    I currently have Compbrake top mounts and they're guff, these are all I've ever had on the car so I don't know what I'll need to replace them... Part numbers etc would be brilliant... I'm guessing I just need: Top Mounts (is there more than one part to this? (I know I'm retarded)) :o Top...

    Compbrake Top Mounts, Talk to me.

    Ok, so how the fudge do I tighten these up? I have a SRS single knock when I brake/sometimes accelerate and I found play in the passenger wheel, I changed the ball joint and this play went away, but alas this knock didn't. I'm now thinking top mounts? I have compbrake items, but they don't...

    Hammerite Alternatives?

    I basically want to paint my caliper a very bright green, similar to what I'm rockin' on the rims of my oz f1's, but I can't seem to find anything appropriate for the job? Hammerite only comes in dark green according to halfords and I'm not sure there will be a wide variety of colours at B&Q...

    Pre-FCS

    Ok, so I took a grand total of 0 pics at FCS, was hangin' and just generally not in the mood, however I did take some shots at the campsite with the KustomClio's boys... So something a bit different for you all: Mikes car on the way there (shooting and driving is hard): The "Cliosport...

    Confused!!! No play in front wheels still getting a "clunk"?

    Ok so if the ball joints were dead I'm sure there'd be play in the wheel yes? Me and mike checked it tonight (only on a jack) but there was nothing obvious wrong... As per my other thread I'm getting an intermittent single "clunk" at low speeds when braking, this "clunk" also moves the...

    Ball Joint, Talk to Me.

    Ok, so I just went on a mega "Search and Read" about ball joint replacement etc and feel I know enough, so I just phoned my motorfactor to get a replacement (SC Motorfactors), and the bloke on the other end of the blowa' said there are two sizes for my model... At this point I blurted out "I...

    Rear Wheel Bearing.. Talk To Me...

    Ok so one of my rear wheel bearings has gone I think, but tbh I could also do with new rear discs anyways. I remember reading somewhere that discs come with bearings in already or something? Or am I talking crap? If not, is it something I can do myself? Or something worth paying to get done...

    Subtle but worth it...

    Only a small change but a definate "must have". It ties together the pedals and foot rest nicely, looking very OEM. I can't commend Davo172's work enough, fast delivery, good quality, lovely. Before: After: Sorry about the poor pics :o

    Weird Brake/Steering Issue

    Having just fixed my engine mount after a small disaster, it seems most of my problems with that car are now fixed.... Except for the "clunk" under light braking, which today I got a bit more information on, I was driving in the blackwall tunnel at about 15mph and the traffic stopped, I slowed...

    Already Booked Camping???

    Two questions for you: Where did you book? How much did it cost? I'm trying to sort it out today, but may aswell stay somewhere a few other CS'ers are! (This is for the Saturday) EDIT: Ok so after a quick search, some are camping at Billing Aquadrom Holiday Park, which is about 24 miles...

    Will a 2.25" exhaust fit?

    As title really, i've currently got a longlife stainless system with ktec decat, which I guess will be 2.5"?? But I am totally unsure of this tbh. Now I've been offered a really nice powerflow stealth, but it's 2.25" so am I going to have problems fitting it? Or will it go on somehow? (I...

    Turning the Cambelt by Hand?

    Can it be done? Whilst drilling a snapped bolt from the cambelt cover, a drill bit snapped, a tiny bit (1.5mm) and a tiny part of it (probably 3mm long at worst). Now this little bit of drill disappeared as it snapped, and may or may not have made its way towards the cambelt.... :S Is it...

    SERIOUSLY, HELP! (FAO Fred/Other Techie's)

    Ok, so driving along last night, went over a small bump, and bang, whole car shakes on idle like a nutter, stops a bit when pulling away. Couldn't see what was up in the dark, but upon closer inspection I've snapped something big, the bit that connects to the engine mount. Two bolts have...

    Suggest A Steering Wheel...

    I want something different in the Ph1.5.... I currently have an OMP dished wheel, its quite large though IMO, 330mm at a guess and its suede :dead:? Now would any OMP wheel fit onto my OMP boss or are they wheel independant? I'd like to see examples of something smaller and leather preferably??

    Ok, so the whole driveshaft/brake area of this car is starting to drive me nuts: Anyways, I now have a single clunk under light/medium braking, seemingly only a low speeds? Any idea what this could be? Just seems to happen when coming to a stop in traffic or and such like. Had a new driveshaft...

    iPhone Speaker Question.

    If you put music on with your iphone, does it come equally out of both speakers (on the bottom)? Easy way to test is put some music on, cover each one up alternatively, and if the volume changes when you cover each, then they are. I'm 99% sure my right speaker is not working at all but don't...

    1 Castle, 2 Clio's

    After a day of trying to sort the issue with my car's binding front brake, me and Mike finally got it done, gave the Clio's a wash and took them up to the local Castle (wtf) just up the road? Sorry the pics aren't great, ground was on the piss, and they're only taken on an iPhone.

    HELP Please :(

    New problem developed today.... (and I don't know whether it's still safe to drive) Driving along, when you put your foot down over say 60% the whole car shakes like a nutter? It still accelerates properly, just feels like something is grinding or something?? You can rev the car right to the...
