    Retro fit rear parking sensors, recommendations please

    I'm after some for one of the Clios. I've seen some on ebay which have a display which looks rubbish IMO Want something with just a bog standard beeper. Saw this but unsure http://www.parkingdynamics.co.uk/ Also wanted to be colour coded if the sensor is drilled into the bumper. Short and...

    Admiral are robbing c***s!

    Sorry mate but 100% you've ticked a box to say you're happy for them to do that. A similar one is that if you pay monthly your full years premiums is taken from a total loss settlement. The first is a terrible clause but is in nearly all insurance policies. They are obliged to send you a quote...

    Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Woah Painting was poop with the brush and took ages between the coats. You should start offering a postal decat service ;) Proper decat would be super. I try and do everything mechanical before getting to the cosmetics but I'll stick to ghetto at the moment...

    Essex meet 05/04/14

    Alex_W I am trying my hardest to get it sorted by next week but I'm pretty sure it won't happen with the pace my new parts are being delivered. Everything keeps busting! Need to sort the decat too!

    Re: DCI 65 pov spec commuter OEM+ Changed the oil yesterday which I did in 25 minutes, was rather happy with that. Filter position gives no room for oil wrench though. Starting with what's been ordered. Genuine new front shocks and a cat. I will be decatting the car at the same time as having...

    Worn Steering Rack?

    Couple of little bits more than that. If you did pas delete you'd end up doing a/c delete as well. Couple of the guys use cup alternator set up with a shorter belt. I used a renault 5 bracket which was a bit smaller. you'd also need a power cable for the steering ECU. I'm not aware of anyone...

    Instructions on the gates kits are good, autodata. How many coats of hammerite am I looking at on this subframe? Hammerite takes ages to dry!

    Seriously could do with some advice as garage is not helpfull

    The coil light comes on often with an EGR fault however it can come on for a whole variety of reasons. As you've worked out, ignore the first one. In the SH of my red DCI they replaced the crank sensor due to it not starting. Common problem and a new one comes with new wiring loom. EGR fault...

    Lowering standard seats?

    I did in my 182 in the summer. It was definitely worth it for the passenger. Personally I didn't notice a huge differance as the driver.

    Lowering standard seats?

    If you completely remove the spacers the seat doesn't go back and forwards very easily. Just something to consider.

    Electric Power Steering in an 03 Clio

    Problems tend not to get better unfortunately. Further damage (to other parts) is unlikely. To the column, if it's the bearings, motor, they might just give out one day but it would take a while. You'll likely have to repair before sale so it's best to bite the bullet and do it. Give it a go...

    Clio Hunt

    £2k should see you pick up something very good. As said, travel for the best ones. Get club membership and look in the classifieds, it's where the best bargains and best maintained cars are. Lots of people advertise there and nowhere else.

    ***How much is it worth?***

    Re: Valuation advice - 172 Rep Not 100% sure on the price as I haven't looked at the value of these for ages but I think those wheels will put a fair few people off as they don't look standard. Flog separately and put 172 alloys on. It is low mileage so your price seems about right, advertise...

    Electric Power Steering in an 03 Clio

    If you do everything methodically and take your time no. Write a list of every part you take off in order and then follow it back when reassembling. Should you doubt anything just put some loctite on all the bolts you undo and put back together. Don't do that on the dash trim etc but on the...

    Electric Power Steering in an 03 Clio

    Same mate. Haven't heard of the motor going really. Whole column is slightly trickier if you aren't that confident though (what if the car has no steering etc!) To change the EPAS column it's easiest to take the whole lower dash off because of the motor. Or you can do as I said earlier and...

    Electric Power Steering in an 03 Clio
