OR... whoever fitted the alternator has possibly refitted a boost pipe incorrectly or forgotten to connect something back up again. Go have a look

This is what you're aiming for after checking and tensioning: Mick

The later manuals for the same engine has now removed that option all together as it was s**t, it never worked and just injected further confusion in to doing the job. OP - It's a straight forwards enough job providing you appreciate what it is you're doing and most importantly of all, that you...

Not special but they can be tricky if you've never done one before. The biggest risk on these is damaging the fuel lines/ connections to the HP fuel pump or contamination in to the fuel system.

Yeah, these days the car would be written off rather than repair and replace components and trim panels. I don't know anyone that has actually replaced an SRS Controller after a deployment. The price of them is ridiculous when £35 can have the CCD removed, effectively resetting the unit.

If the airbag is being deployed though that means a trigger line have been "fired" so the ECU will need service/replacement anyway, irregardless of a fuse being inline or not.

Probably some auto factor white box "Conti-tech" Ching-Ching £17 shite

LUK do make a range of OE units, including the one on the RS Megane but do not confuse these items with LUK RepSet kits... Utter shite! On a 172/182 that is running NA power of 200hp or less, Valeo is the general unit of choice giving great performance and life span. Yes, you do get the odd one...

It's a REALLY annoying feature on the Clio III called "Selective opening of doors" where only the drivers door will unlock with a single press of the remote key fob. When you have kids, it is the most annoying thing in the world but thankfully it can be removed with CLIP.

Maybe it's because i'm old and I don't leave my console on all the time in standby mode, allowing it to aut-update/gobble up data and power when i'm asleep... ... so, to summarise: Old b*****d (Ginger to) Grumpy (See also "Ginger") Tight fisted with his money (Won't pay for unlimited Fibre)...

This guy has admitted the vehicle has binding brakes which won't help either but timing is deffo the most likely candidate... As everyone kinda knows with these cars.

This is why I rarely buy games anymore. I miss the old days where you purchased a game to just play it. I'm not anti-online/multiplayer but every time I turn the PS4 on it seems to need another 2Gb update and then the game you want to play also has a patch (another 1.1Gb)... My eyes roll back...

In most cases, It's always timing

It depends on your ability and if you have/are willing to buy the timing tools which will enable you to do the job. I'd recommend you take the car to someone that actually knows what they're doing though as it'll give you piece of mind.

The KTR is brilliant though and fits first time... worth the extra £££'s Mick

They're s**t, don't fit them... I refuse to now. Buy the KTR unit or have your original repaired and the engine mounts replaced/upgraded.

November 20th cannot get here fast enough!

I use these from Classic Additions https://www.classicadditions.com/super-soft-stretch-indoor-car-cover.html#customise

I've had this before and it's normally because you move away from the reader too soon. It does go thru though

This is why we test the battery on every car that comes in...

Absolutely nothing...

You have to pinch the pins together also to aid a better/tighter connection to

Valeo make it for RUK so it's the same as the OE part but not at £274. The Nissen unit is okay to but they can be hit and miss on the mountings

Could've done you a new Valeo one with dryer for £125+VAT

No, I assure you it is FK'n pink lol

Just updated the wifes Rose Gold to 9.0.1 now... nice colour but it is 100% pink!

I would imagine it'll make good power either way with those cams and better dephaser, plus that head is far superior to the older X65 castings. It would be interesting to see what it does to the oil pressure side of things to.

IIRC It is 3.2-3.7 KOhms

Seems about right to me on a standard vehicle. Remember, some of these cars are so old now with bushes and links that are that worn, you may struggle to achieve these numbers or even be miles away from them.
