Cadwell as well. Perfect track for Clios.

Interesting. Who are they and where are they based?

Amazingly, the old cow passed her test yesterday so I guess I'm keeping her on the road this winter and not flogging her. The only advisory was a tiny bit of corrosion on the NSF brake line, so that's a pretty easy job to sort. Makes a change from oil leaks, but getting the engine and box out...

Heat shields are notorious for falling off if they're fitted incorrectly. As above, by a quality starter.

Those look ace 👍 I remember switching from AD08r to PS3’s and couldn’t believe how smooth and well behaved the car was. It used to try and kill me before.

My BG is on 140,000 miles now, is used daily 365 days of the year and is as good as my 80,000 RB. As above, condition, service history and corrosion are priorities over miles. £3,000 - £3,500 if it's a nice car. Not worth buying if it's rough as lots of parts are now NLA and good quality...

PMS are amazing. I have one on my daily with Sports Cat and also had one on the track car. My only criticism is the rubber hanger bushes (an AUDI part) are pants.

Can you still buy genuine arch liners? I bought some eBay specials once and they didn't fit, so I ended up forking out for genuine.

I'd second that for Eero. I installed 3 Pro plus boxes, but in reality, I only use one. I've gone from not being able to get a signal through a plasterboard wall in the next room, to now being able to pick it up 100 feet away at the bottom of the garden. It's like somebody has multiplied my...

My EML light has just come on tonight on the way home and my canister is still intact. Need to dig a bit deeper unless somebody knows what’s happening.

My son's on a TB with VM and is lucky if he gets half that. I had the 350 broadband but binned it after my contract ended. I couldn't get a signal through a plasterboard wall FFS. Went for 100 mb and there's no noticeable difference except i'm paying £60 less a month for it. Binning the TIVO...

***Has mini heart attack watching J&R shaft being put in***

Lovely, like a sewing machine. And yes, clutches should be really light on these. In fact, properly looked after ones are really quiet and boring really. Nice job!

Apologise for giving the wrong info yesterday I said 35psi when it was actually 32 psi. This is from Yokohama themselves. "If suspension is adjustable front and rear, then no need to run higher pressure in rear tyres , Maybe try a bit more in the front – 32 psi [2.2 bar] hot, bit less in the...

I used to be a big fan of the A050's until I used the 52s. My first outing was at Cadwell and i hadn't adjusted tyre pressures and camber, resulting in this. That's one trackday. They don't have a reinforced carcass like the 50's so as soon as they hit the wear indicators, they fall to bits. I...

Good shout, won't hurt to try a few of those.

What @Iranian Pudding said 😆

Mine sit outside under a soft all-weather cover, so the garage is probably better My routine for the last 5 years: Run the fuel down Pick a nice day in October Whip wheels off Give the underneath/inside arches a good clean/degrease Touch up any underseal/paint Hit it with BH Atom-Mac and...

Lovely motor, although those rusty brackets under the bonnet are playing havoc with my OCD 😂

Is that the Borg & Beck sensor from my link - 8200671279 ?

Doesn’t sound that bad tbh. I was expecting and have heard a lot worse. Timing and a good map will sort.

Deep pockets eh?

Damn, I need a decent boot mat for mine and noticed yours was in really good nick 😂 Joking aside, good to see it's not mangled and should be back better than ever.

Oh I've no doubt the issues are there, like you, I read about them every day. As I said above a lack of genuine parts doesn't help. But you only get half a story most of the time at best. If I'd had read these forums prior to buying mine, I probably wouldn't have 😂 Apparently they all leak...

Strange you say that Russ as I've never had an issue with any of my 3 with those components. I'm on 40,000 miles with the BG on the same injectors and never replaced a Lambda sensor. Before I mapped the track car at EFI, I asked Chris if I should change the injectors before the map and in his...

How lumpy? Got a video? I've had 3 Clio Sport 182's - still have 2 of them - and they're all like sowing machines from cold and at idle. Here's a video of one of them. Stock map, correctly timed by a reputable garage, genuine parts. Just how they were meant to sound from the factory. I had...

As above, thicker oil isn't going to help with wear and tear. I'd just keep changing it regularly. I mean you've got to 166,000 miles, so you're doing something right 😊 Mine's on 137,000 now and was thinking of getting a refresh when the belts are due in January. Always good to have some...

I've literally just fixed my 182 with this issue. Replaced it with this - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/184783904206 and it's gold

Maybe. I pulled out of my road onto the main road after a long queue had formed and a driver flashed me to say he was letting me out. I eased forward, looked left, and then went to pull out and crunch. A woman decided she didn't want to wait so overtook the standing traffic and was on the...
