    Is it better to use the more expensive fuel?

    So many different answers and opinions but I use V-power purely because my engine runs smoother than using normal. I've had a remap and other work and running normal fuel makes it run rough. BUT 101.9p a litre now!!! Grrrrrrr

    Leamington Spa I've got the nut off, but its the bolt stuck through the clearance holes. There is no thread, i'm just try to spin it up in the hole - I presume it's rusted in there!

    172 Decat - Lambda Sensor thread size

    Get your mate in the tool room at work to make you one.... O sorry, thats me ;) Surely if you leave the second one connected but not in the exhaust is will measure the clean air outside the exhaust, show this is cleaner than sensor 1 so no problems?

    Clio Sport owners just don't get it!

    Which civic? I'm sure the older 1.6 engines can be tuned to stupid levels

    Clio Sport owners just don't get it!

    Yeh, I never even knew about them till a mate recommended them after I couldn't afford to insure an Impreza. Very pleased

    Ditching my viper !

    Yes go back to standard but I'd get a panel filter - any is fine. Just compare the paper to the cotton/foam and you'll see why you paid £35-£44 depending on what filter you go for.

    Clio Sport owners just don't get it!

    Why o why does my mate (who is knowledgeable about cars) think a CTR would blow me? He thinks my old Fiesta ST would be as quick as my 172 even having had a remap, matched inlet, exhaust and IK! And you know what? I LOVE IT! People just don't see me as quick and that's fine by me! Rant over

    what tyres

    T1-R's, Eagle F1's, Conti-sports etc you'll never push your car hard enough to get to the limits of the tyre unless you go on a track day or drive like you're on one

    Please Help. Battery light!! Again!

    Could be dodgy connector somewhere, so it takes the higher output to overcome this poor connection. Check all connections, as well as the connector thats monitoring the voltage output from the alternator

    Suspension Washers = better handling

    Fitted my washers to the front suspension because I had REALLY bad knocking at full lock. I thought it might just be the placebo effect but I believe my front end is now alot tighter and the car handles better. A mate drove my car who had driven it before I fitted the washers and he asked if I...

    Mileometer reset knob button HELP?

    You can't reset the total miles done by the car. You sure you're not accidently knocking the end of the stalk? I kept doing that for the first few weeks until I worked out where the scroll button was!

    help please ....

    Re: help ....advice ... gear porblems... Sounds like linkages are gone. My mates car would be in 4th when he went into 1st, 3rd when he went into 5th etc and that was his problem. To get into neutral just spend time trying to force it out of gear, have a good wiggle about you should find it

    What's the difference? Tyre Question

    Stronger it is then! Though can't imagine much difference but if there is a choice then that is what I'll go for! Thanks

    What's the difference? Tyre Question

    Hi What's the difference between: 195/45 R16 84V XL BSW and 195/45 R16 80V BSW ? I.E. the 84V XL and 80V . I know the V reefer's to the speed rating. These are two sizes for Eagle F1's from mytyres.co.uk, both priced the same but obvious something must be different. Cheers Tom

    Just changed my gearbox oil.....

    Apart from 2nd not being so slopping no difference at all, maybe a little smoother when cold but we haven't really had any cold mornings to test this. Even for just removing all the cr*p in there though it was worth it for the few quid it cost to do.

    ummmm, Piper/GDi exhaust scam?

    I'm not damaging anyone just raising a point. Yes it's fantastic quality, very pleased.

    £40 E-Bay Chip For Valver That Worked!

    Sounds like a good purchase. I know someone who does chips for Rover diesels and to flash a chip with the program costs a few quid so he can sell them on at a low price and make profit, sounds alot like what this guy is doing.

    ummmm, Piper/GDi exhaust scam?

    I'm not argueing over the price, its the fact that the system I've got is meant to be a GDi system only, and yet Piper have suddenly come up with their own - and it's £70 cheaper. As for how I deal with it, I spend all week on the phone haggling with people and discussing stuff, I want to enjoy...

    ummmm, Piper/GDi exhaust scam?

    I know, hence why I'm going to look into it on Monday. As far as i'm aware though this was going to be a specific GDi system and Piper weren't bringing there own out
