Most disks come with a protective layer of oil to stop them corroding before being fitted. This oil will be stopping the front brakes from providing the friction required to slow the car. Take them off and clean the disks and clean the pads. And when pushing the calliper back you should always...

My 106 was called the prostitute because it got used and abused

Possibly just needs readjusting?

I just don't see what would make you think of doing that or think its safe. And what's worse is it doesn't even make it that low

Saw this on the Internet and thought it has to be the most dangerous way to lower your car? http://www.stanceworks.com/forums/showthread.php?t=26342 pics at the bottom of page 1

If you know a lot about engines like you say you do. Surely it would of made sense for you to try and diagnose the fault before it was completely broke? I don't see why you'd want to just leave it

Re: do you need to have your alligment looked at once you have had a track rod end fi Simple answer is yes

I believe the immobiliser chip has to be programmed to the vehicle so more than likely it's a Renault only job

The only parts of the sidewall marking that affect the fitting of the tyre is the 195 and 16. So you could fit 45profile tyres to your car as long as your happy with the wheels not filling your arches as much. Would be best to change rear tyres aswell to match for looks wise.

Does that include parts?

Take the pipe off of the washer pump outlet and operate the wipers. If no washer fluid pumps out then you know it's the washer pump at fault. No point going and buying a brand new pump when you haven't actually found the fault because it could just be a blocked pipe

Would of been a proper decent parking space of the rear was halfway through the billboard

Any car can spin without the use of the handbrake. If a vehicle is braking heavy the weight is transferred to the front therefore unloading the rear reducing rear grip. Mix this with turning to avoid something could easily cause you to spin like this.

Pics? And what springs did you buy, we're they definitely designed for your vehicle and have you got any weight in the rear that isn't standard?

It's all to do with the viscosity (resistance to flow) which will also affect the boundary lubrication (fine film of oil that clings to components) if the engine grade isn't right in can affect these fine tolerances and not lubricate the engine sufficiently

If its using a lot more fuel the injector could be dribbling which can wash the oil from the cylinder and you can end up with a lot of damage to that cylinder

No! The oil grade is for a reason. To provide the correct lubrication for your engine

I'm getting a brand new Clio and made them throw the spare wheel in for free because as a mechanic I wouldn't wanna wait on the side of the road if I had a blowout or a puncture that tyre weld couldn't fix. Be on my way within 10minutes. Only time I'd call a breakdown service is if I was in a...

White smoke has nothing to do with the fuel or ignition. It means it's burning water. White smoke is burning water, black smoke is running rich so too much fuel or not enough air. Blue smoke is burning oil

More like you've done something wrong.

As above. Not an mot failure

In my opinion if you don't know how to do a job and don't have the correct tools to do the job then you shouldnt do it. Not meaning to sound harsh but it's gonna cost you more money because you've got to get it recovered

Can have a lot of fun with a Peugeot 106 and the gti is pretty quick

because a number plate isn't legal unless it has the bs number

More doors for more whores ;)

different bulbs have different fittings and connections on the bottom

If its got an F instead of the GB then it's not legal. If its not the standard British font it's also not legal and the number plates needs to have the postcode of the company it was made by on aswell as the bs number

If the interior lights come on as you hit the brakes it sounds like there is a short circuit between the brake light wiring and the interior lighting

That will be fine with a bit of Tcut

When i did mine I rang up my current insurer at the time (Adrian flux) almost a month before my insurance run out to tell them I wasn't renewing with them because they were too expensive and they sent me my no claims certificate there and then by email
