    Oil cooler

    If you can get hoses made up cheap, there's not much point in you buying one of the kits as they often end up making you fit the cooler in an area where you don't really want it - but works for the hose routing - which isn't ideal. Remember, you want air to be able to escape from behind it. If...

    Wishbone, subframe and rear axle differences

    I had a 53 plate 172 with a build date of Nov/December 2003 which I'm pretty sure didn't have the extra castor arms. Obviously it's plausible that in 11 years the arms may have been changed. I think I still have them somewhere so will check if I think of it.

    garage binned broken spring

    That's very convenient as I'd assumed. Hopefully the spring prop they store is of a substantial size to the point CS detectives can determine it's not a cooksport spring.

    garage binned broken spring

    I'd think about trying the following: "Can you lift it out of the bin please and hold on to it so I can send it back to the manufacturer and get a replacement? Thanks" Let's hope that when you go down there, they don't tell you the bins were emptied 5 minutes after it was disposed of, and...

    mot due

    Before someone reads that and thinks it's OK, can you clarify if that was recently or 20 years ago when you were undetectable unless an officer actually pulled you over and checked?

    Mot Fail CV Gaiter insecure

    A chap I know sends his cars in to a Halfords Autocentre and rarely has a problem. I doubt they intentionally employ incompetent mechanics, so it's just a luck of the draw whether you get a decent tester or not. I hear they do MOT's for around £25, and I've 4 cars which need MOT's in the next...

    incorrect vehicle details on insurance quote site

    Do you have a picture of the car to let us decide whether you bought a Megane without realizing the difference?

    High Amount of Previous Owners

    I notice you are a noob and don't currently have a Clio, so if you are new to them then I'd advise you have a search on here for a 'Buyers guide' which will show you how to look it over properly and check the common areas. Providing it all checks out and a is a good base, I wouldn't let it put...

    Honda s2000

    Do you have long legs? I found the seating arrangement a bit tight at 6'3.

    My latest shed project. 306 Rallye.

    306 1.6 XR was my first car at 17. I thought it was nippy enough compared to what my friends drove until I bought a GTi6 and then went back to driving the 1.6 for the last time. My word the thing was slow to wind up. Could change a CD whilst the revs rose for the following gear.

    cambelt problems (local garages)

    Remember it's a Bank Holiday tomorrow, so your call to the specialist may well go unanswered.

    My latest shed project. 306 Rallye.

    That's typical! I do have a black set kicking around, I just CBA to refurb and fit tyres to them when I can probably find a half decent set of silver ones kicking around ready to chuck straight on. Saying that - now the winter has gone I can probably keep the TD 1.2s clean. It's just they are...

    My latest shed project. 306 Rallye.

    White is the heroic choice. I personally dislike the red ones. I need some silver cyclones for mine so keep an eye out for me.

    It's the nack of lining up the release bearing and not knocking it out of place.

    Harness mounting - what bolts/spreader plates.

    Not all harnesses will wrap around a cage bar. Ensure you buy ones that will if that's what you intend to do. I've only got a harness bar on the drivers side of the cage, so added a clip buckle to the harness by threading it though - I had that option. Plate wise, I bought mine from JJC as...

    Battery relocation - fusing

    I've put an Odyssey 25 battery under the seat on my 205. I've added a BMW junction box in the engine bay with the handy jumping point. I overlooked fuses, so I'm looking for advice. I've seen mention that they aren't necessary, but wouldn't hurt to add one. Was in maplins earlier and found...

    Richy's Inferno Turbo

    Where did you have the engine work done, Hamlins? If you ever get in a pickle spare wise, don't hesitate to give me a shout on the off chance as I have loads of odds and ends and would be happy to help if I can if something trivial trips you up on a Sunday evening for example.

    Odyssey PC680 alternative?

    Powervamp do a cheaper copy, but Powervamp admit the specs are lower than the PC680. Whip it out and see if the person who fitted it peeled off the installation date stickers. Odyssey batteries do have the build month/year written on the top so it's worth looking to see how old it is.
