    Fixing corrupt MP4

    Ive heard good things about this software: http://www.videohelp.com/software/Video-Repair-Tool That said, depending on the nature of the corruption it's entirely possible the file is not recoverable. Will the file open at all? If it plays but the image is just a garbled mess then it's more...

    S40 T5 sleeper project

    Fair play, I think it would always bug me if I was taking one to that sort of power level but I'm not very up to date on the latest thinking in tuning the 2.5T engine. I love a Volvo sleeper, I've had a few tuned T5 ones over the years and they are great fun in an "I really shouldn't be able to...

    S40 T5 sleeper project

    What about getting the liners shimmed, is that part of the budget? Nice car :)

    If it fits....what do you think... 182 clio 4 steering wheel

    I'd go for the quick release hub TBH, gives you a lot more options in future and the gloss finish on that wheel won't age well IMO.

    Should I polish each blade individually,or give a quick once over with the mower

    Last time I saw one of those it was run by the sales team at an artificial turf company - not a bad idea as it goes ;)

    Front arch liners

    It wasn't putting the EML on, but it was throwing a code that the solenoid wasn't operating. Can't say I've noticed any difference in the car, but less fault codes is always good ;)

    Front arch liners

    Ref the solenoid for the carbon canister, the car was repeatedly throwing a fault code with the electrical plug removed from the solenoid. With it back in there have been no more fault codes.

    Holes drilled in back bumper?

    Uh, have we met? :D

    Holes drilled in back bumper?

    Thanks all, I did wonder if it was a drag thing. I do quite like the look but not sure I want to start butchering the rear bumper. Something to consider.

    Holes drilled in back bumper?

    I've seen a few track day Clios now with holes drilled in the back bumper, usually in the centre of the bumper in a row of five or six, diameter probably about an inch and a half to two inches. Why do people do this? I have a drill, and a long boring Sunday ahead of me, idle hands and all that...

    Rs Tuner help

    You've downloaded the wrong version of the map. Have a look here: http://www.fastchip.nl/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=22&Itemid=100020 The section you want is: Q: Where can I find the right engine calibration file

    loss of power and exhaust emission light flashing

    Flashing usually means a misfire, so get a code reader on it and find out if it's just one cylinder. If so you can trace it from there by swapping plugs, injectors and HT leads and see which one of those the fault follows. If it's a general/multiple cylinder misfire then usually knackered coil...

    Running rich

    If the fuel trims go too far out of whack it should light up the engine warning light. If you still have the RStuner you can check the long term fuel trims and see if the car is trying to compensate for lean running by adding more fuel.

    Camber wanted

    Can't help with the B14's specifically but these are my settings on cooksports, standard cup shocks, PMS solid top mounts and eibach camber bolts. I can't see why the B14's would be so much less adjustable.

    Camber wanted

    Did he maybe mean an additional 1.1 over stock? I'm running over 2 degrees negative with just camber bolts.

    Fuel guard

    It's a really crap mounting system, tons of vibration and thermal expansion/contraction with a fairly hefty lump of metal hanging off some studs. Eventually they shear. I've just removed mine.

    Unstable steering at speed

    Shock top mounts shot? Broken spring? Leaking steering rack/low PAS fluid? Is the car lowered as if it's been massively dropped it could be bump steer. If you bounce test the car can you track the knocking noise down to one corner? Have you had the geometry checked? I know you said it's been...

    Why would a car overheat, show a oil pressure warning light and have the AC blow warm air all at onc

    Oil loss shouldn't affect the A/C operation though? What engine does it have? Could be as simple as an airlock in the cooling system causing overheating if the rad's not been replaced properly.

    Returning to standard camber

    I've just gone the other way, I.e. From standard to adding camber, and the car is noticeably more of a handful on the road, much keener to tram line and follow camber changes. Doesn't bother me as it's more for track use but I'd say going back to standard will help as long as nothing else is...

    NAS and Plex

    I would grab one of these: http://www.serversdirect.co.uk/Hewlett_Packard_HP_ProLiant_MicroServer_Gen8_G1610T_1P_2GB-U_B120i_NHP_SATA_712317-421/version.asp They're a lot more versatile than a NAS box and absolutely dirt cheap with the current cashback deals - under £100. The only downside is...

    Need a new phone, and a new contract, what do people advise? No Apple!

    You could stick with PAYG and get 500mb, 100 mins and 3000 texts for 30 days via a £10 top up on three? Or unlimited data, 300 mins, 3000 texts for £15. Or giffgaff do 500 mins, unlimited texts and 3Gb data for £12. If you're definitely after a new contract check out Quidco, there are often...

    Cheap Basic Internet...

    @alistairolsen have you tried going via the forums? Unfortunately all the line installs, site visits to fix issues etc are in the hands of BT as with any ISP who uses their infrastructure. Their engineers are a total frigging lottery, I have long and painful professional experience of that :(...

    The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

    Probably a bit OTT, just wanted to prevent it knocking around too much.

    Front arch liners

    Standard discs and DS2500's on the front, standard discs and pads on the back. I didn't have any issues with brake fade last time out at Combe, but I wasn't hitting them particularly hard. Thruxton next which has at least one very big stop so I thought I'd best have a crack at the cooling.

    The Fatty's KTEC alternative induction setup that works just as well!

    This thing is bloody hilarious! Best thing about it is at smaller throttle openings it makes no difference at all, but put your foot down and it absolutely howls. I've been enjoying letting my inner chav out to play on local roads this afternoon. :smile: My install. Sorry to all you engine bay...

    Front arch liners

    Cheers. I got rid of it but left the plug out of the solenoid, I'll see if it throws any codes. Bloody good afternoon's work there! All the crap I stripped out of the car: The wheel arch liners - spot the difference between the knackered passenger side and the OK driver's side? :)...

    Front arch liners

    Ok, so I've ditched the passenger wheel arch liner because it was destroyed already, fog lights gone,horn relocated, fatty's induction kit fitted, all the induction pipe work including the solenoid gone, modified the drivers side wheel arch, but I'm stuck. Carbon canister - can I just whip it...

    Front arch liners

    I suppose that's the other question, without deflector plates and some ducting would removing the fogs and modifying the arch liners for more airflow actually make a blind bit of difference?

    Front arch liners

    I've had a search but can't find anything useful. I'm sure I remember reading somewhere that stripping the arch liners out exposed an engine pulley so could be a bit dodgy but I can't find anything to back that up. I'm taking the fog lights out today and was thinking of taking the arch liners...
