You can add another one to that count if you like mate, my 53 plate 172 has always ran a 130 :)

My Subframe has been nut and bolted on the front two at some point in its life due to broken cages so would be nice to get some part numbers up!

Not sure if it helps at all, but I had a throttle potentiometer circuit fault on mine that came down to a wire shorting. The ECU casing tab that bolts on near the suspension turret had broken allowing the wires to rub on the metal casing. This just wore through the insulation enough to...

Had a mate who had one in an EK4, if you dont mind having to swing the shifter from the rear seats through your head unit on a 4th to 5th change then they're alright height wise. They just massively increase the throw

Not tried this on a Clio, but on other stuff I've worked on, if it starts the car but the central locking doesn't work, you can buy any central locking board from any key and program it using the factory procedure. This Normally involves a series of presses/key positions and sometimes two keys...

Can't believe you got pulled up on the BS marks... mine sailed through the last with the shorter front plate on with no mention of it, suppose its complete luck of the draw! Seeing how clean and tidy your car is as a whole makes me wish I looked after mine a lot more. 3 years ownership in march...

Just looked through all these and found @VeinAST was the previous owner of my Clio judging by the private plate V28 LJO, amazing what a thread resurrection can bring up

Okay so once again more investigation while the car is off the road! I took the intake manifold off along with throttle body etc. it seems there's a lovely coating of black oil deposit on everything past where the breather comes back into the intake. Looking down into the lower inlet there's a...

90's/00's Flashback and Laguna splitter all the things?!?!? Prepared to take stick for this!

That's also assuming its not a non-sport phase 1, which also had the single H4 Dipped/High Beam bulb. I think maybe the OP has had a bulb terminology mix up!

He is indeed, I've yet to hear the full story from him, but your car definitely left a lasting impression! I was planning on heading there with him but once again mines broken

So a mate of mine in his cup was having a little play at a certain venue today and spotted this... Mental looking project and hopefully a short report back of the days antics soon??

I don't work in that side of the business (more corporate/enterprise) but we have a 'help a friend' scheme that should get you a priority phone call to try resolve things quicker. Got a colleague that is a bit of a whizz with the router too as he's got it at home

In all fairness mate if you ever have any issues PM me...

Probably about to open myself up to a world of hate, but I'm a Field Engineer for Vodafone Fixed Line

This already happens where i work, customer orders 1Gb/10Gb Lease line, wonders why they cant get over 10Mb download when they're running 10 PC's and 10 Phones on a 24 Port 100Mb switch. Then the company i work for gets blames as 'it must be V******* as their customer service is rubbish' etc etc

Is it now a requirement for it to be working on the new MOT rules? When i was working around that environment approx 4 years ago a third brake light fitted but not working was only an advisory...

I had this when using First Line balljoints, the taper part that goes into the hub was too long and was catching on the driveshaft, this added extra pressure on the bolts which ovalled the holes, knackered the threads, and they were literally finger tight. Youd be driving along and the straight...

Thread resurrection! Okay so finally got round to doing a leakdown test, granted it was a cheapy kit from eBay, but no cylinder leaked above 5% (within the green section) with a slight noise of air from the dipstick tube, however this was done on a cold engine as taking an inlet of a hot engine...

Likewise in this heatwave, hands on fire! It does tidy things up nicely though! Theres a smoothie company (Think its Innocent smoothies?) that usually do some weird wooly hat things for their bottle caps, they happen to fit gear knobs just perfectly for winter!

They do look a bit gash in person, i'm pretty sure if you wanted to mock it up there used to be a seller on ebay selling the actual '4D' letters you could stick over your own plate...

Coax in Telecoms has plenty of different terminations we use. If you can find em something like a 'Type 43' would do it, you could probably bodge not having the tools...

Richbrook used to do a similar one if I remember correctly

Used to do this in a MK4 golf non-pd diesel (the 90bhp turbo) was noticeably smoother and engine had a quieter note to it so was a plus for me

The one Sunday I'm not at Yarmouth! Definitely keen for another meet soon though

FCS last year was the first time I've ever been on track and I'm happy to say I sh*t myself ? was definitely good fun though!

Last year when I took a mate on a passenger lap there was a Motorsports company who sell caterhams near the entrance, was a tenner I think, but with a £50 deposit

Thinking of getting tickets for this payday, got a bit of a question for those going on track... Says on the site noise limit is 98dB Flyby, now last year I did it on a fifteen minute session with a Ktec supersports recessed catback, but since then I've now got a 182 manifold and decat so I'm...

Hi All, Thanks for your replies! Living in Norfolk in my early twenties means it gets Better road and back road driven every day, up to near redline (never bouncing the limiter it hurts my soul!) And then rev matched on the way back down, NEVER flat shifted! I guess it's just me killing them...
