    Fitting Parrot mki9200

    You can find the last point out on the parrot website. You may have to swap around the 12v feeds in the loom around to ensure the parrot isn't on when the ignition is off. Wiring diagrams are also supplied by parrot. http://www.parrot.com/uk/installation

    Ahh this is what the text was about. I delayed it until Monday as I thought it was a pair of shoes! Dammit

    My Daily Derv

    If it's HPI clear then it's either unrecorded and modified at repair or had someone with very very very deep pockets own it. Does look nice though. Some genuine m3 alloys would finish it off nicely

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    I thought it clicked whatever the weather. Someone else will have to check that though as I'm batteryless at the moment

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    Second hand but as a pair from the same car. I spent the difference between the second hand cost and new cost on getting a Wayne Rooney hair transplant, 10K or so ;)

    Corsa vxr £820 typo??

    Exactly the same happened to a friend of mine. The piston was an ornament at work for a bit. You could see the gudgeon pin from the top! Can remember why it happens. Believe that cylinder burnt lean for some reason and got very hot.

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    Not that I've heard of. If it was I'd like to think it would be a recall due to danger of "track steering" suddenly. No seriously, it wasn't one of the things on my huge list of common faults when I was buying a DCI.

    I hate it that you beat me to a piston 4 joke!

    Some selfish little **** has scratched my car

    Some mildly abrasive polish should bring that up much better. It's free to try :)

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    I also spliced onto the old cable which came out of the ECU plug. There's a fair bit of copper in the original. The amp rating is based on how long the wire is from the positive to the ground so I'm confident that it's 100% up to the job. My only other though can be the ecu is dead. I'd come...

    Is it normal for a Clio to Catch Fire in a Crash, Insurance problem

    That really is spot on advice there. If you work with the approach "what will they need" you can pre-empt everything and have a far quicker resolution. If you can't read through the whole policy you should run through the key facts, schedule for excesses and general exclusions. Unfortunately...

    EPAS on 172 Cup

    I think the fuse would have gone if it wasn't up to atleast the clicking job. I used a 60A fuse in mine. Should be near the battery like in the below photo. That splice connector is what I have used to connect up my 12v ignition. Just to make sure, you have the white from the control box as a...

    Is it normal for a Clio to Catch Fire in a Crash, Insurance problem

    They really aren't. The majority of peoples energy bills have gone up more than their car insurance in the last year as it's such a competitive market. If you read your documents you always get what you're entitled to, nothing more and nothing less. Sometimes the offer is a little less, that's...

    Headlight removal without removing the bumper

    You can just unbolt the archliners in the arch section, pop the grill out of th front pannel and then remove from the wing brackets. Then pull it down enough. Saves getting under the car

    Is it normal for a Clio to Catch Fire in a Crash, Insurance problem

    The company I used to work for would use it to decide what level of cover they will offer you. TPFT and comp or just comp. Of course the items such as sunglass's will be uninsured losses under your policy so you would always have to provide evidence of the loss. As in one of the first posts I...

    Is it normal for a Clio to Catch Fire in a Crash, Insurance problem

    What you've written on your policy, unless it's agreed value means nothing. It will be for underwriting purposes and nothing more. The majority of mainstream insurers offer market value which they will base on examples. It depends on which insurer it is whether they go in with best offer first...

    I'm also wondering. I've got everything ready bar the wax! I've even got a filthy car now for a before and after

    Is this acceptable!?!?!?

    No it's not at all. I didn't say there would be a large visual difference however the paint aligns differently. Ask dupont....

    Is this acceptable!?!?!?

    It is impossible to get a perfect colour match between plastic and metal. With some metallics they need to paint flash cards to see which matches the existing paint best. An example would be Dolphin grey Audis as it's hard to match. Clean and re photo. I'm with the others on that. Then people...

    Product testers wanted!

    Thought as much. Don't want to supply data which is useless to them. I think I'm going to do, wash (DJ supernatural), clay (bilthammer soft and DJ born slippy), prewax (revive) and then 2 coats of my normal wax and AF. I wash my car weekly so am after tips on how often I should reapply another...

    Product testers wanted!

    Applicators, new microfibres ordered. Dodo Supernatural hybrid on standby to do the 50:50 with. AF, are there a number of coats you would specifically like, how often would you strip and put another coat on, how often would you like us to report back and when do you want a final piece? G

    Best thermos to fit in the clio cup holder

    This is the best I can find at the moment. It only goes in on the right hand side because the 12v gets in the way on the other. The back does touch the back of the cubby hole but it stays secure whilst driving. £4.50 from my uni

    Graham's OCD ph2 DCi sport rep

    Back at the start of this year we decided we needed another car to help get around a little cheaper. Over the christmas period 2012 we clocked 2500 miles which just cost an absolute fortune in the 182, not to mention it was stressful. Decided on a DCI due to tax, clio knowlege, cheap and one we...

    Flame Red DCi 172 Rep.

    Going to be giving this two stoke oil thing a go. Pump and injector failure is the only thing I am seriously worried about going on the DCI
