    Compbrake TopMounts - Movement Modification

    Ive been using them for a few months now though. Found them better than stock because my knocking problems have gone but just want to get them to fit better without wasting too much more money.

    Compbrake TopMounts - Movement Modification

    Yeah it is a little bit. Theres about a 3mm gap all the way round so they move when driving which is surely changing the suspension geometry.

    Mate's 18th Birthday present ...... BMW ACS 118D

    Saw something similar, or it may have actually been this car at the BMW Festival Show yesterday. The wheels are mank but I like the rest of it.

    can anybody help me with my new 172 looking for some info

    My Reg isn't on the Renault system but its got factory alarm, security marked windows and locking wheel nuts. It really pisses me off as nobody reconises the reg!

    Coloured marks on bolts etc is pretty standard on all modern cars as assembly machines check for the marks on the bolts so that they recognise that its been assembled correctly. As danny says its just a way of QC

    Compbrake TopMounts - Movement Modification

    This may be a stupid idea that's popped into my head purely because I've had such a boring and tiring day at work but here goes....... When I got the compbrake topmounts I didn't realise that they were too small for the strut holes but as I had just forked out quite a bit of cash on them I...

    What age is too old for an RS Clio?

    IMO bang for buck a ClioSport can't be beaten. Cheap to run, reasonably cheap to insure and great fun to drive so I don't see why there should be an age limit on it tbh.

    Revs dying immediately after startup

    They should be covered is a white/red build up. Unless its excessive.

    Didn't notice anyone in the back but there may have been. Did you see a silver PH1 go past? I had my grandad in the passenger seat!

    New dampers + Eibach Pros, or V-maxx/K-tec coilovers.

    Although I agree with what your saying from a technical point of view. You can't expect people to change what they call fully adjustable suspension. Even my girlfriends 50 year old dad calls them coilovers becausr thats what everyone else calls them!

    Unless I'm thinking off another one I saw today. I overtook you so i'm sure if it was you you would have seen me.

    Maybe its just the humidity then.

    Revs dying immediately after startup

    Mine fires up after about a second then requires a blip and then its fine! Only does it when the outside air is warm. A bit of a mystery really! If it was the idle control valve I would of thought it would have issues idling?

    172 Cool start splutter

    99 won't be too high. I you get a V-Power card then you get 2p off per litre which makes it a bit cheaper.

    Water pump with cambelt change?

    Dont think I would be bothering if its only done 40k.

    L Plates, were the fudge am i meant to put them?

    Get stick on ones and put one on the windscreen and one on the rear screen. My brother had magnetic ones and his car still bares a long scratch from when the one on the front slid all the way up the bonnet when he was driving.

    Revs dying immediately after startup

    The plugs, leads and coilpack were changed by the previous owner about 30k ago. I'm using shell optimax. Its only started doing it over the last couple of weeks. Ive tried everything obvious like cleaning the TB etc.

    keeps coming slack

    I did do that when I replaced the pads so it must be something to do with the cable

    keeps coming slack

    Should be a ratchet in the caliper by the looks of it.

    keeps coming slack

    That could be the problem. I never knew there was a ratchet in the caliper. Is that even the case now that the pads arn't new?
