I'd go for more like 2 degrees personally unless you're doing a lot of dual carriageway/motorway miles.

@Simon998 I also had a tuner list headunit and I replaced it with a Pioneer mechless headunit MVH-390BT which does proper Bluetooth audio streaming and handsfree. https://www.halfords.com/technology/car-audio/car-stereos/pioneer-mvh-390bt-bluetooth-car-stereo None of the options I could find...

What series does the owner race in?

Ever since i bought my first set of bosch aerotwins I've stuck by them. On my last car, I managed 80k miles on a set and they just work.

Yes but only the same as the 182 as they standardised the wishbnes to the cup pattern I believe, and besides, its not going to make much difference to the track rod length at all as the wheel is moved forward in the arch

Why are they a different length? AFAIK the cup uses the same upright geometry as non cup models, the same track rod ends and the same rack, and excluding the difference in wheel offset, runs the same track?

Not a fan of the rims, but they're always a personal preference. They remind me a lot of Vauxhall Astra Mk3 Sport wheels which are 15x6 ET49

Yeah the problem is the audio quality is awful. In the end I bought a used adaptor lead and a pioneer bluetooth headunit for £50 which gave me bluetooth streaming and handsfree with functioning steering wheel controls.

I'd just be getting the alloy bits vapour blasted tbh, no sense expending lots of effort when it's cheap to get it done back to factory finish.

Haha thanks, I didnt mean how do you discover insurance companies, I meant how has your experience of insuring a modified van been? I know engine swaps can be tricky, and so can vans, so the combination will likely cause some hassles.

That looks really good! How do you find insurance?

I built one similar to the above years ago and while its handly now and again, unless you have a huge garage, I still do most stuff in my big bench vice just because I cant be bothered getting to the press. Also worth considering you need mandrels and plates in a variety of sizes (save any old...

How hard are rack bushes to do?

Excellent, thanks for the pointer! Knowing what it was let me find this, which may in turn help you https://www.cliosport.net/threads/diy-stop-that-irritating-climate-control-buzzing.684354/

My ph2 172 has a whining noise from behind the dash, sounds like its coming from behind the centre vents. It's audible whenever the ignition is on. I had assumed fan noise, but it's there even with the climate control panel turned off. Anyone had anything similar and can point me in the right...

I'm trying to install CLIP (older version) and getting driver errors. Does anyone know if the drivers are 64bit compatible, or just 32bit? I have a vague recollection that last time I had to use a 32bit virtual machine on my laptop. Thanks

@GrahamS thanks for that. Which fuse am I looking for? What wiring am I looking to confirm (ECU pin number)? I assume both clocks and ECU can be sorted with clip? (I have it but wouldn't know where to start). Cheers

Anyone got any gen? @Vaughan

Mine were black anodised and fitted when I got the car, i suspect somewhere between 2010 and 2014. They may have been replaced, who knows. They were knocking and I replaced the dampers, so I fitted new bearings too and decided to go for the ones with dust seals for belt and braces. The bottom...

mine had a thin metal washer between the bearing and the circlip which ran against the bearing sphere as a dust shield

Really nice car and thanks for documenting it all so thoroughly! Found this thread linked elsewhere when looking for info on the Yanoo Stiff Shift. As an aside, do all trophys have a non colour coded boot handle?

My CL5 did this and I ended up finding a pair of low mileage caliper carriers and fitting new pins to get rid of the slack.

Found a used heatsheild and a new genuine sensor for £20 so I'll fit those and see if that sorts it. I'll also try this https://www.cliosport.net/threads/the-clio-mk2-fault-finding-dashboard-trick.109201/ To check the gauges sweep Thanks

Fingers crossed all goes well tonight!

Is it a geared system or an inductive pickup?

Sorry to bump and old thread, but it's a decent return on Google and nice to keep the info in one place. I have a Speedo that's just dead, doesn't even read momentarily. I took this picture last night which I believe is the gearbox sender So knowing I have the correct box in the correct car...

@Vaughan So I bought and fitted a cruise panel but no lights on the dash. Would you normally need everything, or just the switch to get the warning lamp? Cheers

Might just add in inline non return valve then as thats the bit that will have stopped holding pressure.

Is it a returnless system then?
