Yrh I'd get a second opinion first , my ex once got a diagnostics man to find a fault with her Clio, he said a new ECU was required and so did Renault, I had a look and all that was wrong was the wiring from the tdc was shot. New sensor and wiring and all was good.

My ktec janspeed fits perfect, sounds a bit s**t unless your giving it some though

I'd be worried.

I'm sure the box for my NGK prf6e10's did say on the box finger tight then quarter a turn. I wasn't happy with that so tested with a torque wrench and they were pretty much bang on.

lol yeah i know but it only cost me 800 quid and it had a solid flywheel and clutch conversation last year as the dmf was shot.

cool cheers guys. yeah, i may have to start it every now and again to hear some exhaust noise lol, ill be fed up of this tractor sounding 307 hdi soon enough lol.

Im going to store my clio on the drive for the winter under a cover untill i can be bothered to take my box off and send it away to agency due to whining bearings. Is there anything i should do to prep the car before hand? Ie, hand brake off should i jack it up to take some pressure off the...

id say thats a good price, even on a 1.2 its still a fairly lengthy job. But yeh a clutch change is no specialist job, i managed it on my 182 in a weekend off and im no mechanic.

Its called the upper gearbox mount and their about 12 quid from gsf. I fit one from gsf and it fits fine and seems fairly good quality

if its not revving up due to the cold map then id change the coolant temp sensor and thermostat. Start with the thermostat as its cheaper..

My 182 box did this once, so I put a big screwdriver above the selector lever to pull it down towards 5th, then tapped it up towards reverse and that freed it off and its been perfect ever since

You have a problem then. I put 3l in mine after I did my clutch and 3 got it overflowing. Did you put the oil in through the top hole or the front?

id change the thermostat anyway as they are cheap and should be changed regular anyway, and then the temp sensor if its stil having the issue. The map is changed by the water temp so if its reading wrong itl stay on the cold map

yeh providing the pad fits and is the correct size etc just chop the wire

only need the front one. i found gsf the cheapest, although nw performance had an offer on them which was pretty good

Doesn't sound right that. My revs start to increase at the slightest press of the pedal

Ah right, I must have just been driving like a granny since I took the sub out and not noticed it lol

Dr Rollo, does that comment mean I'm an idiot for thinking 30kg will affect mpg or that 30kg is a massive amount to carry in the boot?

Yeh the driver weights about 18kg and the 2.5cuft box is about 12kg. Then the 2kw amp is about 10kg but I haven't took that out yet. I doubt its the extra load the sub puts on the alternator as I don't have it on loud at all anymore so it will be drawing minimal current. Well 30kg is only...

Looked at my mpg calculator today and was expecting the usual 29mpg and to my surprise it said 37. I took my sub out to go on holiday a few weeks back and haven't put it back in yet. The sub in its box weighs about 30kg, is that enough weight to have a dramatic effect on mpg or is it more...

I need some silver turinis on my bg. Looks great, but a good set of turinis cost a fortune, all the ones I see pop up on eBay are scuffed to hell

Cheers guys, just what I wanted to hear.

LOcal motor factors seem to Stock APEC brakes for a good price , any major benefits to getting OEM over the cheap? The car is not driven hard at all, 4 miles a day, and the Clio seems really front brake heavy anyway.

Problem there is you risk, No brakes and no pas.

Decat makes it rev a little free er apparently, can't say as I noticed much difference tbh, 2 reasons I run decat are 1 - my Renault cat won't deteriorate and rust as fast sat in my cupboard so I won't have to buy another when I need it, and 2 , i like it loud lol, but it does get annoying at...

Decat is easy peasy, takes about 15 minutes to swap over, and paired with a good exhaust is very nice sounding. Remap will depend where you live, plenty of good mappers but ddont expect miracles, a couple of bhp extra at a push.

oh and i wedged a brick under the box once id placed it where i needed it so that i didnt need a second pair of hands whilst unbolting the pressure plate

didnt take it out, just removed the rads, battery tray, shafts etc, bottom top and dogbone mounts, unbolted the box and moved it all the way to the near side and this gave enough room to take off the clutch place. I was going to take the box out the top but i gave up, its like a Chinese jigsaw...

surely any garage can change a clutch, i managed to do mine on my 182 without any issues and im no mechanic..

how about a open cone filter? That'l beef it up a little in the noise department and much easier than trying to find somebody to make a straight through pipe for the exhaust
