Pretty certain my step dad's socket set goes up to 30mm, so have this covered! If not then it will be worth buying one. Only ever do work on the car at my parents, mainly to use his tools!!

If I get two then there is no excuse not to do the gear box oil change, I know I need to do it

Gold plug..sounds bling lol. Is this the right fitment for the Ph1? I have no idea what thread size it is!

Service is due next week so just getting the parts together. Last time I did the oil the sump plug thread was a bit worn and I don't want to risk having a nakard plug so want to get a new one. Not sure if GSF/Andrew Page/ECP will have one in stock, so what dealer on here can I get one from...

Cool. They are off the car and have been cleaned. I just need some good weather and I will paint them. Car looks a little broken with them off the car

Seen in your "what colour to paint the roll cage" thread you have a very nice black section on the door between the windows - I like a lot! Is this painted or vinyl?

Match the wheels I would

They actually look very smart, just the look I am after! You say "spray primer on, then paint"....did you not rub them down? Also how did you do the inserts? As the lettering on mine is worn and not that silver any more and patchy, hence why I wanted to put itto orange. Would rather give mine a...

Ahh ok. Let me have a go at mine first and if they end up ruined I'll take them!

I'm after black background with orange lettering, don't think that is what you mean? If it does end up looking gash I will just re-paint them black and keep them like that.

I don't want Ph2 strips, hence the re-painting of the original parts! Well I want the lettering to stand out to match the orange on the car and didn't want to have them black like the strip, and not being like the Ph2's which the bullets are on the end, it is going to be a right pain to mask...

Doing a bit of searching and can't really find an answer to what I want to know, unless I am after something that isn't possible. Basically I want to paint the door strips black satin to give them a new lease of life. They currently have that fine texture to them, I want to keep that if...

I'm on higher mileage and I hardly use any oil, last time I topped up was a few months ago and I use the car a lot. No smoke or anything under any kind of acceleration. Have you checked underneath / removed the under tray thing to see if any of the chassis or other parts are covered in oil?

That first Clio is proper cool. It is BTCC Laguna style which is one of the coolest cars ever. Also those Cossies are brilliant, the Pilot and the Repsol colours are smart.

Yeah not a big thing

Ok, I'll see what I can do!!! Does the battery need taking out to remove it? If does I need to source a longer socket extension. I didn't look how to remove it when it was all apart

This didn't quite solve the problem It did everything that you said but it there is still some play in the pedal. Also noticed that the cable seems very loose and slack at the throttle body end after the adjustment. I am thinking the cable has stretched over the years.

If @Dr Jekyll can't help then I will take mine off the car. I should have done it when it was all off and easier access

3M kit is what I used the other month. Great results. Looking at it now I could have done it again to improve the results further. Been told once they have been done they will need doing regullary but will be easier to do

+1 on this. The Hammerite Kurust is a good product to stopping light rust / rust starting to show. I've used it several times on numerous vehicles and other metal items around the home.

Do you have the bracket that the strap goes on? I can't see it in the picture. But it is basically the bit of metal next to the battery cover (actually bolts to the same bit the battery cover bolts to) to the side of my induction kit. I forgot to remove it.......

Managed to find a mint front bumper for sale so I bought it, thanks @Stu. (great seller). I was home less than 10mins before I went out to fit it, and within 30mins it was fitted. Looks so much better than the previous one with all bad bits of paint on it, or not on it!! New bumper: Bumper...

165k and still going strong. Regular oil changes and it is well looked after mechanically. Will being going back to a track car so milage will increase slower but will have a harder life, but will still have the usual services and such.

Slight tweet to the induction kit set up Need to dig out a a small piece of rubber to stop the hose rubbing Will do the throttle cable this weekend as then I can get help with it if it goes wrong!

Some old hose is kicking about somewhere in the spares box. Ohh shhhhhh!! I got a little too excited fitting it so may have forgotten to remove it, plus there is a cable tie on it, but can always relocate that. Also how have you secured the hose in place to stop it vibrating?

Better? :tongueclosed: The only place it is rubbing is by the filter, but it is resting on the jubilee clip. But would rather have a piece of rubber there instead to add more protection. Also would like to shorten the jubilee clips as they could look a little gash. I didn't do this for the...

I will fit this ASAP then seeing as it is sat ready in the garage. I just got impatient and fitted it on the weekend before the second joiner turned up!!

I got the original off set Ram Air filter. Is there any benefits of having the filter by the battery? As I have just the 90deg bend (not all the parts turned up), but now I have the second 90deg bend and joiner. If it is just the hot air / heat issue, I can always put a cold air pipe from...

Did not know this. Thanks for the advice, it makes doing the job that bit easier if I have a pointer to what I am doing!!

Will give that a go tomorrow. I hope it is a simple fix!!!
