    Another car won't start thread (immobiliser) HELP!!

    Spare key is now working ok, I've not tried the normal key since. Could it be the battery in the key?

    Another car won't start thread (immobiliser) HELP!!

    Immobiliser light is flashing like mad and engine won't turn over with my normal key. I tried my spare and the STOP and immobiliser light stayed on constantly, engine turned over then shut off. Just disconnecting the battery for 20mins to reset the ecu and see what happens.... Oh and when...

    HI-FI ideas

    I've heard a few people complain about the lack fo adjustment and excessive bass. You can pick up some bargain seperates on eBay these days, I'm still running my trusty Kenwood/Technics setup which must be 20 years old!!

    Damp issues around ceiling - mould developed on rear seats, passenger seatbelt

    If you do have a sunroof I'm fairly sure someone did a guide on how to fix the leak problem.

    ***Tyre Poll***

    I've got Conti's on the rear and Hankook V12's on the front. The Conti's seem fine, no major issues and being on the rear can't comment on grip that much. V12's are good for the money however I had Michelins before which were better all round. They grip well in the dry however feel a bit...

    Torque wrench, which one

    Seems very cheap! Do many bits need tightening over 210nm?

    City powder coating in Birmingham | Highly Recommended £80 per set for a Refurb!

    I imagine the price brings in at least twice as much business as competitors so they can afford to have a few **** ups and charge less. From reviews on the internet the turn around can be slow and posting wheels to them is even slower...

    Limp home mode... Headache!!

    I had the same sort of problem on my 1.2 Clio, turned out to be a TB issue. I sourced a second hand one complete with all sensor and it solved the problem. I'm not saying this will solve it but it could be worth swapping it over with a friend/someone on the forum to see if it solves the issue?

    Fitting springs tomorrow, any tips to help?

    Yep cheers Fred, life saver as usual!!

    Fitting springs tomorrow, any tips to help?

    Yep, both OK. I was over at BTM earlier and Fred said it's normal, they'll also need to settle a little.

    Fitting springs tomorrow, any tips to help?

    All done with no serious dramas! However the passenger side sits a bit higher than the drivers?

    Fitting springs tomorrow, any tips to help?

    Cheers all it should be ok as long as the bolts aren't seized. I've had the rears out before when removing the standard exhaust so I'll do them last!

    Fitting springs tomorrow, any tips to help?

    Well I'm hoping it's only the outers that are causing a horrific creaking noise! Good tip about the driveshaft, forgot about that!

    Fitting springs tomorrow, any tips to help?

    Fitting some sportlines to my car tomorrow, I've looked at the guides on here however is there anything else I need to know that could go wrong or make the job easier? Also whilst I'm at it I might attack the ARB bushes if it's easy?

    Swapping over the Lambda sensors?

    Thanks guys, I'll see if it makes any difference. I pressume it's best to replace with OEM sensors if needs be?

    Swapping over the Lambda sensors?

    Can both lamda sensors simply be swapped over to try and solve a EML/poor MPG issue? I'm thinking of ideas before I end up splashing out on two new sensors....

    Raider tested by Evo

    Very nice but even at £19995 it' s a pricey little motor! Would be nice to see a few on the forum though....

    Loud creaking when turning?

    Quick update on this, I had the car jacked up for an oil change at the weekend so I decided to spray the offending area with some oil. The main area I sprayed was the outer ARB bushes and the inner lower arm bushes. I also noticed that the offending lower arm looks new, so I'm maybe ruling...

    JP Exhaust (Yozza) + De-Cat - Amateurs Review

    No reason why you would get pulled for it unless you go hooning it up and down your local town centre. On my old car I had an exhaust close to 100db and never had any issues with the police however neighbours didnt like it one bit!

    Did they not do the centre caps as well? The wheels look very nice always wondered about their service. How quick was the turn around?

    Looks good, I've got some yellow fogs that I've done however never fitted them! Did you have much trouble fitting it without removing the light?

    A CURE FOR UNDERSTEER?

    Your obviously cornering too quickly, the Clio's handle great as a standard car! If you want to impove it a whiteline ARB would help. You can also get camber bolts for the front for slight adjustments.
