    Cleaning an induction kit filter?

    That's fine as long as you have a filter that doesn't require oil. Running a K&N without oil for example, you may as well not bother with a filter at all. It's the oil that catches the dirt and stops it from entering the engine.

    Torx size - wheel arches

    Halfords sell them separately, so no need to buy a set if you only need one or two

    CLIO 192 - Fitting an Exhaust Silencer?

    Oh, and what is a Clio 192? I assumed you meant 197 but the picture is a 1.1

    CLIO 192 - Fitting an Exhaust Silencer?

    If you want more noise then removing boxes is what you want, not adding them. Take out anything other than the back box, will be noisier then. Get a bit of a flat spot at 2.5k revs though.

    Exhaust manifold.

    Is it going to Mick to be fixed? Have the garage you bought it from been made aware of the problem? You need to give them opportunity to fix it otherwise you'll have to pay.

    CLIO DCI 100 MK2 best way to decat..

    Seems like a lot of hassle. Does it gain much on these?

    Best person to supply me with a refurbed 'box with Gripper fitted?

    Every one will be different I would imagine. As @NorthloopCup say's, he strips and replaces what's needed. That will depend on the gearbox being supplied.

    Exhaust manifold.

    Just the flexi's is usually fine as long as the manifold is checked for cracks. I can't see them wanting to stump up for a manifold, aren't they about £1k?

    Exhaust manifold.

    Take it back, tell them to fix it properly. They don't want to because it's a manifold off job to sort.

    Paint thickness gauge

    That's relying on the thickness of Primer/top coat being uniform across the car - which is unlikely.

    Audi RS3

    Not too long at all then really, and well worth the effort! Can you recommend anything for alcantara? I need something to keep my steering wheel clean etc.

    High quality collage for printing?

    We used this for a collage of baby photos a year or so ago. You just import the photos and position them how you want them.

    Dyno day?

    Anyone interested in a dyno day at Dynotech in Ripley again? We've been a few times and it's always been a laugh.

    £30k to spend, what performance car?

    C63 like I've just done! Quick edit by Chris Maskrey, on Flickr You'll get a decent facelift for that money though.

    Sky multiscreen alternatives?

    Just looked, and yes the robbing b******s charge now! They didn't 6 months ago when I took mine out!

    Sky multiscreen alternatives?

    Not for the first box it's not. At least I'm not paying it. £35 a month for q silver (the 2tb box) a mini box and all channels inc sports and movies (With HD)

    Tools & Garage Equipment sub forum?

    Why would you not be able to undo them at the side of the road? I'm fairly sure you'll be over tightening them if you are just using a wheel wrench, hence making it harder to undo next time. Torque them up to the proper amount (about 120nm?) and they will a) be safe and 2) come undone fairly...

    Sky multiscreen alternatives?

    Just upgrade to Sky Q, that's wireless and you don't pay for the use of the second box.

    Another AMG

    Only on the performance pack cars though isn't it? Well on the C63's it is anyway. Unless all the E63's got them?

    197 braking issue. (MOT Failure)

    It'll be the caliper, both of mine did it. Easy to check the cable, just unhook the end of it from the caliper and see if it moves.

    Timing locking tool

    Fair enough, I always had to be the same with my ex! Like I say, with the engine out and on a stand it should be simple enough. There is a guide on here somewhere that gives the procedure and torque settings. I'm sure someone will come along and link it.

    Alloy wheel "painting" in Midlands

    Powder coat is only baked at about 200 degrees isn't it? Hardly going to do any damage to the wheels at that temperature. Imagine how hot they must get if you're on track etc? They're bolted straight to the discs that get to the point of glowing red hot - some of that heat must transfer to the...

    Timing locking tool

    If the lump is going to be out of the car then it will be much easier as its the access that makes it a difficult job tbh.

    Also, how come you can't stretch to a set of tools but can drive a B7 RS4?
