    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    People dont read other comments before jumping straight to the exact same conclusion. I'm fed up of typing the same thing. If I type if it capitals they cant miss it

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Anyone else want to comment about being sat in a blind spot. Anyone else want to read the previous comments about it being a LEFT TURN LANE. Anyone else want to read the highway code about indicating before changing lanes, checking blind spots before moving, being in the correct lane, and...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    I have as it happens and several large vans too. When he pulled over on me my nose was actually level with the front of his cab, but for most of the clip my nose i actually a lot further back than it seems. And i know that large vehicles have blindspot mirrors that he would have seen me in. My...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Thats my problem. His observation skills are non-existent. I dont normally sit anywhere near them. But considering he shouldn't even be pulling into my lane to go straight on i didnt think twice about it. The left lane has been made to go left only until you clear the exit. Recent road works to...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    1st of all, nowhere in my post did i ask for some dickhead to comment a smart remark. So go back to lurking on the internet and keep your nose out 2nd, if you knew the road you would know that the lane i was in is for turning left and does not allow you to go straight on until further up the...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Thats what im going to try. Funny thing is, they are based a stones throw from my back door, might go round there with 3 or 4 mates that are 6 foot wide and demand payment :) Cheers for the advice tho all

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Thats what i feared would be the outcome. I'd have to pay to have my car repaired all because some tool can just use his mirrors. Safe to say i am not pleased, but at least he didnt wipe the whole car off i guess, look on the bright side

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    This happened on Monday. You can see from the video he just indicated and pulled straight over into my lane. Luckily i managed to scrub enough speed off to avoid getting wiped out. But i did bump the curb in the process and its taken some nasty digs out of my alloys. What can i do about this ...

    adjusting brake light switch ?

    I had the same issue on a mk3 and found that the aftermarket switches just kept failing. I took 3 back in one day and got a genuine one which solved the problem straight away. If thats of any help

    Clio 2.0 Front wheel bearing

    Yeah i thought so. Does anybody know if the hubs and bearings and whatever are the same on all the non sport mk3's Ive got an old dci mk3 that im breaking so i could use that as a temporary one while i get the bearing sorted properly. Any ideas ?

    Clio 2.0 Front wheel bearing

    Ive got a 2.0 mk3 non sport. Its the 139hp version or whatever it is The front wheel bearing is gone. Ive watched the videos on youtube and it seems like a lot of work especially if it goes wrong. Ive got all the basic tools (spanner, sockets etc) and a massive impact wrench but no special...

    DSLR Advice.

    Unless you have used a dslr before it will be more frustrating than anything else. They work fantastic on manual modes but it takes a long time to learn how to use them well. And on holiday you want something easy to use, otherwise you will miss the shot you really want and willl forever regret...

    Post a picture of your favourite tool

    This arrived Thursday. Anybody looking for an impact wrench then this is sweet. Nice and compact for getting in behind wheels and whatever else with enough power to break my wrist. My second favorite tool in the background. Knipex flush cuts for cutting zip ties off, cant beat them. Pricey tho

    Race/track day most important tools to take?

    Something to kneel on - an old car mat works fine. The last thing you want to be doing is kneeling on gravel, trust me A brush of some kind such as dustpan brush - the gravel traps fill every nook and cranny and without air tools you have to pick it out by hand, a brush helps massively Some...

    Can someone please confirm the disc size for the Clio mk3 2.0 vvt 138bhp. Its the dynamique s spec with the lyria 16" wheels if that helps jog a memory. Europarts dont stock them and everywhere else says either 260 or 280mm. Help please ...

    cleaning dci injectors at home?

    I do the same. Fuel cleaner as often as i remember. Oh and don;t worry, i give it some revs alright. I can make my crappy little diesel Clio monster some serious motors. Swear its been mapped or something. Well, i could do that when it was running. Sad times...

    cleaning dci injectors at home?

    Long and short of it ... No. In fact it seems to have made things worse if anything. Seems that my issue is more serious than i thought. Anybody got any idea why a mk3 dci would be shaking itself to death. Don't think its engine mounts. Someone on here must know more about these injection...

    cleaning dci injectors at home?

    I had the exact same. I started mine on easy start every day for at least 6 months because i couldn't afford a new injector. I bet i can open a Clio bonnet faster than anybody else can one handed in the dark after all that time. :) I have the opposite, ive got low fuel rail pressure which i...

    cleaning dci injectors at home?

    It will make itself very obvious if one is worse than the others. Do you have trouble starting and do you get an injection fault warning if you put your foot down too much?

    cleaning dci injectors at home?

    If you are going to have a go yourself be aware its likely to just go wrong. Not anything against your work but they are very sensitive. I've spent the past year chasing issues with dci injectors and have had nothing but grief. I would just go on ebay and search for either 'diesel doctor London'...

    Wipers constantly on

    I would suggest the relay. Had the same issue but with my headlights. The relay had burnt out for some reason and i ended up replacing the entire fuse board.

    Mk3 dci Injector Noise

    I was intending to get them done but got put off spending more money by the noise. Any recommendations for coding or do i just take it to Renault and let them pull my pants down for 10 mins work :(

    Mk3 dci Injector Noise

    I haven't coded them yet. i was planning on doing that. I did wonder if that was why it was making a strange noise. Its sort of high pitched, but not overly. Its literally for 1 second max from the time i let off the throttle. Its also slow to start if its been left for a while. Its fine if its...

    Mk3 dci Injector Noise

    Ive just replaced all 4 of my injectors in my 56 plate dci mk3 because 2 were leaking back badly and causing starting issues. So while i was at it i did the other 2 for safe measure. However, when i rev the engine and allow it to return to idle i hear a strange almost beeping sound coming from...

    Are you selling the wheel? If so would it fit direct onto a mk3 dci because mine is peeling like a orange and its really annoying

    Amplifier power cable guage

    Thanks for the replies I didnt realise it was a very high power amp to be honest. I want a 4 channel amp and it was in my price bracket so i just assumed it would be or average power. I quit man looking and had a proper look and found something much more suitable i think. You seem to know a bit...

    Amplifier power cable guage

    I'm in need of some help figuring out what gauge cable i'm going to need to power the amplifier i intend to buy. I was looking at this one because its the right price range for me. I also have a active sub box already installed using 8 awg cable. I don't know whether to run another cable from...
