How bad was your back end battered? Did it take a good shafting?

I use Adobe Acrobat 8 Standard at work and I can edit PDF's. It depends on what was originally used to create them, but, in general, for what I use it for it's fine. I doubt it's free, but it may be cheaper than any charges.

Balls, I am off out at 2:45 and I won't get back in until 17:30, just when everyone will be getting in from work. I'll probably have the same problems I had last time, when it was too busy to get a download.

Morning, I have a couple of questions, not all are really RS Clio related, but I am hoping for some help. I am pretty certain from what I have read in the past, that my 172 has a F4R engine. Can anyone confirm that some MKII Clio's used a DF4 engine? Also, is this used in the Twingo...

My girlfriend has ruined a freshly refurbed set of Clio wheels, so I think I am going to buy a set of these as the cheaper option, otherwise, I could just throw the money in the bin instead of paying for a refurb, would have the same effect.

Could he not just keep it? Also, has he checked himself. Dealer may have made a mistake, doubtful but you never know.

Ok then, I suppose I best go and check the ones I put on the Clio..............

ROFL, I had a good look at it all yesterday and seems easy enough. Off to the scrap yard tomorrow, hopefully non RS CLio's have the same runners???

Nice, a lad I know has just put GTO calipers and discs to a Proton GTI without a huge amount of modding. He has said it makes a fair difference and is more progressive braking. *edit* The relevance of that is that the early evo calipers fit onto the proton, so the GTO conversion may be one fir...

I have this issue now, anyone know if the little clip can be bought seperately? The passenger seat just slides backwards and forwards :(. Currently has a seatbelt keeping it in place.

I'm a bit more 'at ease' after reading that. Going to get some new plugs and leads tomorrow and also get the thread checked in the head.

That was what I had thought, but seems odd to have done it after 4k miles and with no prior warning (she picked me up from the airport last night and nothing 'seemed' up). Although, to be honest, I have never seen it happen before, so I am only applying what I think is logical.

My lass has been out in the car and she called me to say it 'wasn't right'. Just been to it and when I first started the car, there was a 'popping' sound coming from around the oil filler cap. Had a look through the gap and the lead was loose. When I took the upper part of the inlet manifold...

I was going to go a little more, but I was in Bristol airport and lost signal....

I was the opening bidder..... I bid £100 and would offer to pay that and collect this weekend but I'm guessing that's pointless as you turned down £125.

Good point :approve:. I meant starting with 'reasonable' (I started with circa 130bhp, which was reasonable IMO) power though. :D. More things to change if you start with a 1.2 though, the rear drums to discs would be something to do as well as (possibly) larger wheels for the brakes, but it...

I like the idea od a Turbo'd or Supercharged Clio, but I don't like the idea of the price. I am not saying that companies overcharge for the kits (don't really care if they are or aren't, what I think won't change their price either way). I added circa 100bhp to my last car (with the potential...

Both parts of the catch were replaced when mine went in. Might just depend on condition, if it does, I may have been lucky to get there.....

As you say 'base for a track car', then surely (budget dependant) any of the 172's or 182's would do? Weight can be saved on each one, power can be gained on each one, suspension etc can be changed on each one. Unless I am missing the point, as it is just a base/start, then would a decent ph1...

I suppose so, but I had assumed at least one previous owner (guessing a different one to the last owner to change the brakes) knew their stuff as one owner bought a full exhaust, had all the wheels refurbed and 4 x new conti sports put on all in the space of a few months. Maybe they just ran...

Maybe the factory fitted ones were fine, but the brakes that were on my Clio when I bought it were pretty crap when wanting to stop quickly. I'm not talking about extended heavy braking. I am guessing a previous owner went for the cheapest of cheap on the fronts and the rears were due for...

When I first got my Clio, I was very un-impressed with the brakes, but I cahnged to a similar setup and I am now more than happy. Stops a lot better.

Try Wickes, they used to have some for very cheap, there was a thread somewhere on here about them.

I said this (well, something similar) to my girlfriend when she started driving my 172..........it didn't get a positive reaction.

Does it have a cover on the back? My girlfriends 3g did this, she took the cover off (releasing the pressure/force you mentioned) and it has been fine since.

I now feel as though I have been robbed, I paid £1.99 for one, I could have saved myself 99p :(. I had the component leads that come with the 360 (5 colour ones I think) in before the HDMI cable and noticed no difference to using the HDMI cable.

Currently at £1.45, on an auction, however, the buy it now is still £125...

I live about one mile from Pontop Pike and as far as I know, it will be the last transmitter to have the analogue signal switched off. I am sooooooooo behind the times. I just watch Sky and freeview. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pontop_Pike_transmitting_station

Google has failed me and nobody in the office has tried this so hoping someone on here can help me. I have a simple enough graph (3 plot lines), but a couple of the lines are all over the place, a smooth line won't help, so I have added a Linear Trerend. Great so far..... When I have the...

That part amused me as well.
