Pulled up at Homebase traffic lights pulling onto Welford road, car was looking epic!

just bought this : http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-5869.aspx Think i got a pretty good deal personally (on a tight budget), what do you think? Thought I would post the link up in case other people were interested!

Thought these may intrest people, pretty sure they are correct offset etc... I would have bid for them but have no money...

I feel a little stupid asking this but I am really unsure. Can you fit fixed back bucket seats eg: but fit them on rails or similar that allow you to fold them forward to allow access to the back seats? Or maybe get rails that are extra long to slide them a long way forward, to allow...

Basically any part of my car that has oil in it also has a leak, but I found a new one and its a bit more of a worry than normal. Its leaking from the rocker cover I think, pretty standard, but from the back of the engine. It is then running down onto the manifold and then dripping onto the...

I was just wondering if steam cleaners are any good for cleaning car's especially wheels? something like this:http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Portable-Hand-Held-Steam-Cleaner-NEW_W0QQitemZ250581073973QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_HomeGarden_CLV_Cleaning_CA?hash=item3a57cbc035 Sorry if its a stupid question...

Just noticed this bolt has come loose, just wanted to check before I tighten it back up if there is a torque rating for it and if its worth putting some thread lock on it? Have checked the service manual quickly but can't find it. Also what exactly does it do? Sounds stupid but is it for...

I am sure this has been covered before but I felt I had to bring it to people’s attention again just in case. The bonus accelerators (10 months = 1 year NCB) that are available through certain insurance companies are not all that they seem. I know that they are slight more expensive overall...

I'm having to change my rear drivers side calliper on my 172 cup. Have just ordered a second hand one from http://www.cliospares.co.uk/, they were very helpful and a very reasonable price imo. I have had a search and can't find a guide for it so any advice would be great, or a link to a...

Was just wondering if there is anyone in the Leicester area that may be able to lend me a spare wheel to fit my 172 cup. Im looking into getting one of my wheels repaired (powder coated) and I aint sure how long it will take. I don't plan on driving the car with it on but as i have to park...

was just reading evo and niticed the seats in the bmw csl. I rhink they look great and from the looks of things they give rear reat access to. Does anyone know any info on them? Make, model and price, that is if they are even avaiable sepratly? Cheers, Will Sorry bout spelling, but my phone...

saw both of you together heading towards leicester on the A6. Amazing, you were both on it, i heard the V6 over my radio and my car and i was over 5k rpm in 3rd. was great to see the cars being driven how they were ment to be!! ps. I think it was a trophy, u were both a bit of a blur!

Am needing some new rear discs and was just wondering if anyone had any experiance or advice of buying discs and bearings seperatly. Were the bearings easy to press. Im pretty sure we have a press at uni that i can use, but i have never pressed bearings before. Also did they last or is it...

LY 182, you were heading towards town at about 5 - 5.30 ish on Welford Road, just before Homebase traffic lights. Was dark, but car looked great as the LY's always do :o. Will

Hey, this is my first attempt at taking photos of my car, I have never tried anything like this before (not just with cars) but thought i would give it a go. Ended up finding it really good fun and can see how it could become a bit addictive!! Anyway I didn't get to many good pics (think a...

Okay guys I know this has been covered a load of times but I am really struggling. A lot of water leaking into my boot and has been on and off for a while. 1st time i noticed it was the day after a very very wet drive though north Wales. The spare wheel well was completely full. Looked...

Saw this while browsing and thought it looked amazing, what do you think? Wish I had the money for it. http://www.fastroadandtrack.co.uk/frat/showad.php?adid=7399 pic

have just parked my cup a couple of cars behind you, your car look great!!!

A couple of my turinis need a refurb, due to damage not caused by my self. It not serious but they need doing. Anyway thinking about doing all 4 and going for a color change, will i need to declare this to my insurance? As they will be the same wheels. Also thinking about fitting diffrent...

Think it was 200, only saw it from behind as i drove past. parked in highcross car park, level 2 i think, around 6.00 today. Had a rear wing, it looked amazing. Would never go for red but it looked so good, definitely changed my views on red cars!!

I think that this has probably been covered many times before, but i aint exactly sure what to search for so i haven't found an answer. I am getting a very small amount of oil seeping from the points where the 2 red arrows are, i was just wondering if it was serious, and what is involved to...

I was planning on giving my car a very quick wash this evening, it has needed it for a while but i aint had a time or weather for it. Started with the turinis as they were really bad (new pads all round seems to have created more dust than normal) and noticed that the 2 on the drivers side...

172 parkd on lorne road, clarendon park at around 2.00 today. Cliosport.net sticker in back window.

Was coming out of Fosse park in Leicester, for those who know it. Waiting a junction to pull out and a guy in a fiesta ran into the back of me. Not to much damage, but need a new rear bumper and the boot floor has creased a bit. Am told by the garage that the insurance sent me to that it will...

As above, just changed the rear pads on my 172 cup. It was much easier than expecting. Mostly thanks to this guide... http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=408371&highlight=fitting+braided+hoses but i have a problem. If you look at the guide there are 2 wire "clips" one on the...

hey guys, please can someone just confirm what the standard ride hight is for a 172 cup. Looking at mine today, i think it looks too high at the front (i aint had the car to long). If someone could confirm what it should be and the best way to measure/check it that would be great. cheers, will.

Hey guys, My mate is considering getting rid of his fiesta (trying to get his to get a RS) but it has a few cosmetic problems. I said i would ask on here for some help. One of the rear quater panels, which was accident damaged a couple of years ago and replaced professionally, seems to have...

I have had the drip tray/splash guard off today and there is a fairly serious oil leak. The tray is pretty covered, only on the passenger side. The gear linkage is covered in oil as are other components in and around the area. I thought it must be from the gear box so cleaned everything up...

Altenator belt started squealing, only changed it the other day so thought it just needs to be a bit tighter. Had a look and noticed the nut that is ment to tension the belt was missing (10mm iirc). Didn't think it was to much of a problem until I realised the bolt it is ment to be on was also...
