If you don't get it solved, I would happily take a look, (Auto elec, braintre area).

My plates are velcro'ed on, its good for removing them when washing the car, taking pics etc too, Doubt I'll have people stealing them, and my mates just put the plates up side down a few times, its become boring now though. Also means you can switch between 3/4 front and full sized front...

Had forgotten about that at the time of that post! Turned up today thank you very much dude.

Definitely not the case on the Clios I own/have driven. are you sure theres not too much travel in the pedal, sounds like an odd one though.

Non-sports sit a lot higher than a sport.

Its only the upper that differs for 172/182, lowers are the same.

It could just be as theres more pressure on the belt from the PAS pump at full lock (its trying to push fluid where it shouldn't go!) and the belt/tensioner is what the noise is. Or, it could well be the pump on its way out etc.

Or been fitted incorrectly. I assume the spring is in a sort of C shape? If so, that is very wrong yeah, New tensioner time!

Its easy to remove the whole side trim, I always use plastic trim tools though, just need to get the little securing lug to come out the door then they slide backwards. You can then just push the bullet clips from the back, no need to worry about damaging them! Rear Diamond requires the whole...

Its a 1.2, any air filter will do. I wouldn't spend out more for something that wont make any differance and will be changed in a year or two anyway.

I think so! Even the subframe nuts aren't much of an issue, Just need to smash out the cages, and then get a socket on the two front ones, and a spanner on the rear two, I now remember exactly how to do it too (I had to do the same on my DCi), Only other slightly s**t thing is removing the rack...

Just looked through the whole thread, Mixed thoughts and emotions. Heres my bike crash, 24th of April this year... Round a bend too fast in the wet, into kurb, I went sliding down the pavement, bike followed me until it hit a lamp post (thats where the lense came from), flung out into the...

My DCi is on iirc 166k now, gets abused and is still mechanically fine. With the exhaust, just get a decat made, and maybe cut the backbox off if you fancy it (see my thread for what I did as for tip etc), I need to get a vid of mine.

Expect this to turn into a "How much to..." thread. I could actually do that right now too, but shall leave it a little while and PM you.

Where abouts are you?

I didn't plan to do my own car during my time off from normal work, but I just couldn't resist! I actually built most of the rear beam yesterday, before playing GTA lol Flumps are good, although lots have gone. I'm uselss at sitting around! I aspired to his car when I first started. Once...

Cheers very much buddy. Yeah I'm now decided on Silver wheels, One of the grey will become a spare (although planning to repaint first) and the other I'll keep as a spare somewhere. Need to find another Silver wheel! I looked at the rear beam again, and then looked at my car, followed by a huge...

Boxing day mornings work. Started the morning having not removed anything from the top side of the engine bay.. Hour or so later... Plan to change the clutch and get the new box in Saturday or Sunday, I can't be arsed today!

My drums and shoes are in amazing condition tbh, No idea when they were last changed, but when my ABS broke recently I was locking the rear before the front! However, I like the look of discs (what can I say, I'm a bit gay) and it obviously adds to the sport rep-ness. Hmm, Just get 172 stuff...

Subframe would surely be even more hassle? Imob I can imagine to be a pain in the ass tbh! In other news..... Finished this up this morning, Plan to fit it asap, then paint disc edges, and at some point in the not to distant future polybush it. Also have a 172 Master Cylinder and servo to...
