More than likely to be the sunroof, pop the interior light out and you'll probably be able to trace the leak back to source

I expect you'll need removal keys like these

I couldn't agree more and it's great that you are bringing through a more cost effective start to motorsport. I've got a very good mate who's just starting out and it'll be ideal for him even if I can't compete myself

Thats understandable, it is still road legal (just) but virtually everything else has been binned. Are you only looking at a road going series? Thanks Ads

Does it still turn over? could be crank sensor breaking up

Have you got esp/traction control? i may be wrong but i believe that those that do can have issues with some wheel bosses not fitting correctly?

i'd be interested but mine is virtually race prepped now, (and the form states road going with full interiors) ie no interior, fully caged, cut offs etc etc. Would this be too 'modified' ? sprints/autosolos are new to me

That is stunning, a lovely example of how clean a clio can be (quite ashamed of my old battered one now lol)

Apologies if this has been previously covered but taking the financial side of things out of the equation is there any real benifit to using camber bolts over adjustable bushes? I was an apprentice many years ago for Mercedes and most suspension setups used eccentric bolts to adjust camber so...

I drive mine but usually have either the mrs or best mate with a 4x4 as back up carrying everything for me, and to do minion jobs during the day ;)

As you said bud many heads are better than one, whilst being far from essential my Mrs picked me up a big plastic wheelie tub that's lockable (b&q jobbie I believe) to keep everything in, I find it comes in really handy EDIT Same as this

It will indeed on a 172, there's no breather there on a 182 is there?

Yeah a big egg shaped one, sits in the underside face of the top inlet

I'd add a torque wrench to the list of tools personally (unless I missed it earlier), keep wheel bolts/nuts torqued up during the day

Not sure about meg/twingo but I believe it's the same caliper as used on saxo/106's

my non gen one is 30mm thick and again 30mm to centre of hole (35mm inc ali casing) Ads

Is this not the one for yours?

Mine was knocking horrendously at Combe, decided to bite the bullet and order one, especially as at the moment there on offer on the old ebay, there is still some movement from the upper mounts (will be doing these asap but apparently moving house is more important according to the mrs) but yeah...

I've just fitted the motorsport version of evol engineering's dogbone, it's made a huge difference IMO. My original one had a lot of play, exhaust was banging off subframe and gear changes weren't ideal. Having changed it over there's no more knocking of the exhaust on subframe, gear changes...

Have you taken the doorcard off to check there's nothing fouling or broken that'll stop the window going all the way down?

I believe so yes, I don't have one in mine anymore. Probably best to go back to fuses and check them, I have seen a couple of fuses on other cars break and partially reconnect so they still work to a degree, had a transit do that with main ignition fuse, had everything working but it wouldn't...

Brake pedal indeed, and yes exactly as you put above

The part at the bottom has a spring inside it and pushes in when you press the pedal. It also has a ratchet mechanism to set the correct distance, as a temporary measure to prove it's the switch pull the bottom but out on the ratchet and then put the switch back in, see if it clears the fault

Look behind the pedal towards the top where it pivots and you should see a plastic box with a wiring connector, normally they twist 90° and come out if their housing, swap over with new one and done It looks just like this

More than likely it's the switch on the back of the pedal

It is yes, looking for 12ish volts across the lighter and also for illumination Whats up with brake light?

Wiring is as the diagram below Start off by checking to see if you have power and go from there

I know where that is lol, go past it every day on the way to work

Thanks :) I'm on Leigh Park too, Boulton Close (just round the corner from Elkins)

So over a year down the line and having taken it out on track last month for the first time I guess a big update is due on here A lot of what has been done wasn't photographed but basically the engine was swapped over and eventually passed its MOT at the end of May last year, and then stood...
