As above really.
Just got some new ones up front in 205/45 R16 and wondering what pressures people find better for these?
Also how long do these take to properly bed in?
Thanks!
Hey.
Noticed last night that my offside xenon isn't working at all.
I swapped my bulb over and that works on the other side so it's not the bulb!
Anything else I should be looking for? Completely new to xenons so not sure what to do to check.
And now this morning i've come to turn my lights...
Hi guys.
I understand I can manually adjust my headlights (182 xenons) using the Allen key hole on the headlights them selves and also the rear beam has the sensor that determines when they dip etc but how do I know where to put the lights so that they don't blind anyone? For example should I...
Hello.
Does anyone know where to get the two o-rings from for the map sensor, or failing that, the dimensions so I can get some? Thanks
Mine has quite a few chunks taken out of both of them.

Hey,
Just wondering why pretty much my car (182) exhaust tailpipes always smells of petrol quite strongly, and after one day they go black again after cleaning them up.
It doesn't seem to be running badly at all, not misfiring and over the last 3 months it's had a new genuine bosch lambda...
I'm thinking it's normal but I want to rule out any possibilities as to where my clunking is coming from.
When I change gear and drop the clutch it's making a banging noise. The dogbone mount has been polybushed and is solid so it isn't that.
The car also seems to pull you when you go over a...
Hey.
Looking at getting my girlfriend a computer for xmas as she only has an ipad atm and wants something to have in her room as a dedicated workstation.
She'll only mainly be using it for music, office, internet etc no hardcore games or anything.
We were looking at all in one computers and...
I'm trying to get to the bottom of my handling issues and noticed the other day that when stationary, the top mounts physically twist when I turn the steering wheel. Not a small amount too, they're moving quite a bit!
Is this normal?
Cheers
I thought my issues were sorted but apparently not.
The car is being f**king horrible when accelerating, just pulling to the right mainly, steering wheel juddering when braking and pulling it from my hands and now i seem to have developed a clunking noise when changing gear.
So far it has:
New...
I've noticed something lately that when coming up to junctions etc and i'm wanting to change gear the car will rev ever so slightly when dipping the clutch. Almost like it's being told to do so by the ecu?
Could this have anything to do with the fact that my clutch is on its way out? If not...
Hi!
I've developed this problem where when i'm accelerating and letting off the pedal, or sometimes it does it when i'm accelerating lightly I can hear this whirring, a high pitched one, imagine an owl noise but constant like a wheel bearing but no where near as drony.
The only way to...
Basically, I wanted to clean out my injectors properly! The redex crap is exactly that and I think the only way to clean them properly is to leave them in an ultrasonic bath.
I researched into it whilst on my lunch breaks at work and saw that simply leaving them in an ultrasonic bath wouldn't...
Hey.
Basically I'm wanting to make my car a little more unique on the dash by having a small led that illuminates when the engine has allowed the variable cam to activate.
Is this done on oil pressure or oil temperature? Or water temp?
If so how would I go about this? By tapping into...
Hey guys.
I've just sanded a bit of paint off the rear brake pads so that they are more free in the caliper along with flushing out the old fluid and putting new fluid in.
Now when I press the brake pedal I can feel a physical knock through the pedal at around half way this is even when...
Hey.
I've just ordered an ultrasonic cleaning bath with the intentions of cleaning my injectors.
What I've read is that although it will clean them without pulsing, to get the best results ideally you want to get them moving to clean them out properly.
What I'm wanting to know is...
I'm still having troubles with my car :(
So far I have,
Replaced rear discs with new bearings
New brakes all around even
New inner tracks and track rod ends
Four-wheel Hunter alignment
Swapped tyres over front to rear
And I'm getting a steering wheel shake from 40mph onwards and...
Hey. The other day after I got my tracking done u pulled up to a junction to hear a loud clunk at the front end. The tracking guy said he noticed it was pulling to the right when accelerating and thought it was just torque steer but it's not as it's low down the power band.
What could be the...
I just came to a junction to press my brakes and although they worked, I felt a dodgy feeling through my foot and an audible "knock" noise. Wondering what this is? And is it dangerous?
Although just came back from my tracking being done and it's always done this but when accelerating it's...
Hey.
I'm looking at getting some decent rubber for the clio.
I've decided on the rainsport3's! However there are three types: 83V, 83Y and the 87Y XL
What do these figures relate to? Sidewall stiffness?
Which one should I go for? I do a 12 mile commute to work on standard 30/40mph roads. No...
I cleaned the car today and can't help but feel it would be complete with a stubby aerial! What do you have and where did you get it from? Signal isn't a problem as I don't listen to the radio :)
Thanks
Hey.
Looking at replacing the inner track rod and ends on my clio 182 non FF verison.
However I've seen that 99.9% of clio 182's have the smi rack but euro car parts only seem to list the Lemforder TRW version?
Anyone know what ones I should go for and where from? Cheers!! :)
I'm looking to replace my 2 front budgets with something decent. I need 205/45/16 as they're for my 182
The tyre poll looks to be massively out of date.
What are people rating these days?
Just for my daily, 13 mile drive to work etc, no track action.
I know it's probably been done a...
Just thought I'd throw a thread up to disclose my findings haha.
This morning I removed the 15mm washers under both seats and replaced with standard 2(?)mm washers.
What a difference! It now feels so good to sit in as like others have said I now feel like I'm sat in the car and not on...
I've always wanted to know! When you're flicking through mpg, set speed limit etc there is one that says G. Really not sure what it is and it doesn't seem to go up in correspondence to my driving style etc?
Cheers!!
