    Google Tollbar Vanished.

    I leaned on the computer and the google toolbar at the top of the page vanished, it's now a small dropdown, how the hell do I get it back to normal?

    PolyBush Dogbone question

    I've recently had a new gearbox put in my car (well second hand from a breakers) aswell as polybush dogbone mounts, the gear changes feel pretty solid, but i'm a bit worried about 1st gear. It's kind of difficult to get it into 1st, it's like it's made out of granite, there's no crunch that...

    Locking the boot without battery power?

    My car's going to be sitting on my drive for a few months due to a broken gearbox. I've disconnected the battery so it doesn't go flat, but obviously I can't lock the boot. The only thing of value in the car is the HU, which I might end up sticking in whatever shed I buy in the mean time...

    Following on from my broken gearbox thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?593141-BANG!!-amp-the-gearbox-is-gone. I had a quick look at it today and it's covered in crap that could be the gearbox oil, the only thing is I think it might have been there for a while as it's half...

    Question about gearbox oil

    After reading countless threads about gearbox oil I have a question. Is this the stuff Renault recomend/sell for about £50 ? http://www.ukpricebusters.com/acatalog/Elf_Tranself_NFP_75W-80_Gear_Oil_5_Litre.html Because it says GL4 and all the threads say GL5 apart from one.

    172 & Valver, Halfords Coventry

    About 2:30pm today in Halfords car park Foleshill Rd Coventry. As I came out of Halfords in the car park there was a Dark Blue Ph2 172, and a Dark Blue Valver with a tow strap on the front. No idea if there on here, but worth a try.

    Engine flush after 2 years?

    I haven't changed the oil in my car for 2 years due to poverty, (not good I know but in the last year eating was more important) it was all I could do to keep the damn thing on the road, but i've got a new job now and can sort the car out properly once again. It's been 2 years since the last...

    Does your HU get really hot?

    I did a round trip of about 50 miles today and both times I removed the HU face it was bloody roasting! When I got back to my house I took the face off and pressed my hand against the HU and it was so hot it was like pressing your hand on to a central heating radiator, I swear it's not...

    Squeeling from front n/s wheel when turning right.

    Today I noticed a squeeling noise from the front n/s but it only happens when turning right, a bit like brake squeel but i'm not touching the brakes. Possible wheel bearing? Although I though that was a rumbling/grinding noise?

    Engine getting up to temp really fast.

    Not really a fault as the car's fine but recently from cold the temp gauge is rising to operating temperature in under 5mins, it normally takes at least 10-15mins, I can't believe the oil can heat up that quickly, any ideas? (ph2 172) I've read that the thermostat can go wrong on these but the...

    RS Tuner no longer recognising VIN

    My car went mental this morning with warning lights, so I plugged the RS Tuner in to check for fault codes, it connected no problem with the ecu and said no faults, so I refreshed the fault reader and still nothing, so I disconnected, looked at my dash and had some lights on so I reconnected...

    Anyone used Khumo KU39?

    TBH i'm running out of ideas for tyres in the £50 range in 195/45/16 I've searched online and rang loads of places and they've all told me that KU31s have been discontinued and replaced by KU39s. Has anyone used them or know anything about them? Yes i've done a search.
