    Carbon Lorraine rc5

    Bit late but I forgot to add that I find CL's last twice as long as a set of discs and that the dust is very difficult to remove without viakal

    Retro fitting a external temperature sensor?

    Would be interested if you managed to do this mate. Family member has just bought an "extreme" and is after the outside temp reading

    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...

    Seat air bag light

    get a 3.3ohm resistor (m3r3) from maplin and put it in the connector. Sorted. There is a how to in the guides.

    Cruise control on a RS 172 or a dCi (DIY)

    I would also really like to know this. Unfortunately though I think by hidden you mean "behind the light control panel"

    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...

    Stiff Shift 1.0 (Yanoo Kits)

    my stick rattle at about 60 with the 1.0 kit. Clios rattle lots though so I just rest my knee on it occasionally. The Red ball will fit absolutely fine

    Engine differences 172 ph1/2

    bar cylinder head on ph1 has slightly bigger exhaust ports which don't affect any fitting and I believe they take different upper inlet.

    Dismantle front end to change a bulb ?!

    Standard on the 182 are 4300k and I believe it should be the same. Not sure if the below is the right size for a 197 :) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Brand-new-Genuine-Philips-Xenon-D2S-85122-Headlight-Bulb-/161120243029?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item258383cd55 How much are they at...

    Carbon Lorraine rc5

    I had them on my daily and now it's track I don't plan to change them. They don't fade with heat at all, just bite more and more. Might be a little cheaper on kam racing but I can't remember.

    understanding an MOT emissions print out

    We of course a pass is good! CO is measuring how efficiently the cat changes the CO from incomplete combustion into C02 (your cat is working correctly) HC (hydrocarbons, what petrol is mad up of) is unburnt fuel in parts per million, 7 is showing you have a good ignition system, no misfires...

    Coolant leaks

    thermostat housing and around the stat can be quite bad. Get some ring automotive UV diagnostic coolant dye and a UV light to see where it's going

    Airbag + Serv light.. is wrecking my head!!!! Help!!

    Thought the airbag resistors were 3.3 ohms. That's what I've used and it's fine. The resistors needs to be pushed in quite a way to make decent contact. Sort circuit could be the squib. Are you connecting the correct 2 of the 3 terminals of the airbag connector with the resistor?

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    Same parts as listed on the thread. There will be nothing that differs for a ph1 as I assume you will/have removed the a/c Part numbers are within the thread somewhere. You'd need rack, cup or renault 5 alternator bracket, control box, column with ecu and a few wiring bits and pieces.

    Phase 1 172 throttle cable advice

    Re: Phase 1 172 throttle camel advice You can also put the cable on the slackest setting. Should make it marginally better.

    Dogbone mount?

    The ph1 172 has both of the bolts going in the same direction and not rotated at all. Yours is rotate at 90 degrees to each so is "twisted" however it's not the ph2 sport twisted mount. Correct though this is the non sport mount.

    Choice of polish

    Not to spam but I thought this was going to be a thread about which local hand car wash you should use and was looking forward to a most interesting read.

    worth getting?!

    honestly I wouldn't do anything. I often had this problem with my old Lupo but decided it was what it was and it was only silly to try and pretend it was quicker or sounded better than a 1.4. If you've ever heard a small engine with an induction kit (from the outside) it's very very obvious when...

    Close shaves....

    First time in my friends car he got air over a bridge in the middle of nowhere. I was convinced it was the end. Also coming of the M20 in my landy with friends in, the brakes didn't work at all. Ropey wheel bearing had pushed the piston back, had to pump them like a nutter to not hit the...

    Did you replace just the seats or the carpet as well. I found the carpet made the car much quieter on the motorway

    Breaking a ph1

    It's break very quickly if you want to know how reliable they are! No seriously, estimate to sell about 40% of what you think you're going to and be prepared to send a load of stuff to the scrappies/tip. Bonnet, wheels and bumpers if in good condition. You're taking the rest of the good stuff :)
