how can fitting a high flow air filter make your fuel consumption better, shergy? I havent really worked out my mpg, but i can get 400 miles out a tank which is around 35 bucks if i drive carefully. I recently fitted a motoflow magnet and it hasnt improved it at all. Induction kit increased...

Yay!

You can get them from k-tec i think, not as much as 90 quid there, or is that an ecotek valve? supposed to dramatically improve acceleration.

Thanks guys. Are these easy enough to fit myself? I've replaced springs in a Fiesta before, is it just the same procedure really? Not to mention my Dad used to be a mechanic too. Steven

Been thinking of getting my Mk2 Ph1 1.2 16v clio lowered. At the moment I've not exactly got lot of money to spend. After a quick look on a coulpe of website (k-tec etc) it seems your looking to spend at least a couple hundred quid on new dampers and springs. Obviously lowering springs are...

Traded in a 1994 L reg 1.3 Fiesta LX in foir my Clio, only got £100 for it. Not complaining as I paid £400 for it three years earlier and only once did it fail to get me home when the battery ran flat due to a dodgy alternator connection. So far since May I have had two Y reg Clios (first one...

Coulda been worse, last time I did that it was more than just a wheel bearing that needed replaced.... if I rememebr correctly it was a wheel, tyre, driveshaft, wishbone, steering column, steering rack, subframe, roof panel, front wing and front bumper that needed replaced and the chassis...

I havent had a spot in glasgow yet, look out for e int he west end, near byres road ;)

One of my teachers was killed just outside gargunnock too, just at the corner where the Doune junction is. There seems to be a wee bump in the road just there right on the corner.

Nice, my sis works there, but on thursday nights. Gargunnock straights are good but you gotta watch the unmarked fun stoppers!

Ahh i get it now, sounds ok i guess but i aint gonna waste my dosh on it.

How can you tell where a rattle is by listening to it on a CD Player? Or you could just turn the volume up so you cant hear the rattle! My latest rattle was the Face-Off on my CD Player, just selotaped it on and its fine now. Didnt need any fancy gizmology to work it out.

Maybe I'm not reading this correctly, but basically does it reproduce rattles to outrattle all the other ones?? Would it not be better to locate the rattle and fix it permanatly with some gaffer tape?

I've got a K&N kit in my boot, purchased it and then found out i cant afford to pay te deposit on my new insurance with a company that actually insure modified cars... cant just say my car is modded as my dad is a copper! and dont want to risk having my insurance void incase of an accident...

what you wanna do is bodge together a method of attaching a universal filter to the air filter, similarly to the method you would use with a proper induction kit, ie take off the square filter box and maybe uise a mixture of plastic tubing and lots oof glue and tape and stuff, i dunno , never...

Another monaco blue clio SN** AVO i think, atleast had an exhaust system fitted which sounded sweeeeet, followed me around Stirling for a bit then followed me home to Buchlyvie, was that you?? steven

Thats all a bit harsh on the poor guy, he's actually quite a nice guy.

the dealer should have been able to tell you just by knowing your reg number surely? just got an oil filter the other day and he asked me that so he could the right one...

From my past experience I have noticed that my 1.2 16v clio doesnt accelerate as quickly as my mates fiesta 1.3 8v until it reaches higher revs then sprints past the 8v... not sure if its maybe just me or not or if that is definatly the case.

or just go to the nearest shop which supplies these parts and ask them which suits your car the best.

Take the element out and replace it with a bit of gauze....? (anyone tried that before?)

Thanks, the wheels arent too bad, but i just fancy a change. had a black one exactly the same before but its in the graveyard now. is that full body coloured bumpers you've got on yours, instead of the ones with the black plastic? steven
