Just to add to the above post if you have not got a bit to cut the whole the a stanley knife does the job fine i forgot i needed to cut a whole and this was the only thing i had

Ive just fitted a hid kit to my mk3 they look great and are a good improvement especially on country roads , i bought a kit on ebay for £30 the quality of it seems spot on , and there is a years warranty, it was a 6000k kit but if i bought again i think i would get the standard 4300k as i think...

I found just clearing all my messages helped alot in speeding things up

Sorry no pics but its worth it i have mine lowered 40 mm it makes a big difference but its not obvious if you no what i mean

Hi basically when i first start the car in a morning and try and reverse of my drive it will normally cut out i have to rev the car alot to stop this from happening , the car just feels very hesitant but the problems go away when warm, its a 1.4 mk3 if any one has any ideas thanks

If the 1.6 cams fit the 1.4 then surely even aftermarket ones should fit ?

Could it be a drop link not tightned properly or the bush gone on it ?, they sound really bad if somethings not right

The belts need doing soon which is why i am now thinking about it , if gains are minimal then i wont bother just thought it might be a cheap upgrade cheers for the advice anyway much appreciated

Check the drop links are tightned up properly, i had the exact same problem and it took me a while to figure it out but in the end this was the cause basically half a turn of the bolt and it was fixed

Ye that is kind of what i have gathered from having a quick look on the internet , but also that the 1.6 cams give abit more power when fitted to a 1.4 i no this basically gives me an answer but it may not be true because as you said if the heads are pretty much the same then the cams should be...

Just thought id post something about apex springs , ive read a few bad things on here about them but i bought some cheap for my clio mk3, lowered the car 35mm , i also added some new 17 inch alloys with low profile tyres and the handling is excellent now, i thought the 17s may be to big but they...
