    HU leads - quick question.

    the pc99-x12 is the one which needs to be connected behind the clock - pita connects2 and MTAudio (on here) can supply a resistive adapter so that you simply have to plug in at rear of radio - iirc this is the correct connects2 lead for a clio with display -...

    Fitting a new radio (DAB)

    DIN is just the size of the stereo - you get single/double din - the standard clio stereo is single din so no facia adapters are required to fit an aftermarket single din

    Fitting a new radio (DAB)

    I would sooner recommend the sony dab700 unit instead (http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_869325_langId_-1_categoryId_265865) - purely because the Philips comes with a crap rigid antenna which has a magnetic base and is designed to...

    Xenon gone again. Sad panda

    When i removed ballast from mine last yr I had water pouring out it too, so when i fitted new one just covered all edges in silicone to prevent any moisture penetration, hopefully its just the bulb in ur case - gets costly replacing them if u cnt find used ones (luckily got one of ebay fr £45...

    Horrible clanking/scraping from engine on full lock

    Its the power steering pump - exactly same symptoms i had, started off now and again, the more often, mainly on cold but deteriorated quickly (within 1month), and started showing signs when warm also. It had started making some noises around 4months before I decided to get it checked out by...

    decat question

    I get the same problem with decat - mainly after using cruise control on bypass/motorways - think its because the car realises the emissions are high. Garage at my work reset it now and again, I did have a similar code reader (as posted above), from a company called beatthegarage, which clears...

    Arch Liner Compatability

    Searched this myself, and this is what i understood - 172-182 are different from standard phase1/2 non sports. Arches come in 2 parts on each side, so if you will need 1 part for each side and from what i gather its around £50 per section, so around £100 to replace front bits which seem to...

    What is this? *Photo

    chances are its the ballast/ignitor that has went - rare for xenons to blow. Mind and take out fuse before removing ignitor and let it discharge - or risk getting a shock - theres a reason y theres a hazard sign on it, piece of cake with bumper off/ lamp out.

    How much does a water pump cost to replace/repair?

    Rentech - they done my dephaser/cambelt also last year - unfortunately the pump started leaking 6months later - although its unlikely to fail in hindsight i wish i just got it all done first time round :p - reasonable pricing and seem good lads, would reccomend

    HID Kit Help

    HID Kit in reflective lenses would fail regardless - require projector lenses (like 1*2 lamps) and leveling for MOT, washers not a requirement unless fitted to the vehicle

    Binding/Siezing Rear Brakes

    Mick, thanks for the quick response, I am not clued up on mechanical stuff myself to check if these are fitted correctly, I just presume that the garage would do so.

So got the...

    Audio (advice)

    I would imagine something like this would do the trick (but ive not seen the back of a 197 stereo so can't say for sure).... http://caraudiosecurity.com/shop/product/products_id/8694.html ... would personally run it past MTAUDIO on here - he may even have something more suitable for your needs :)
