    Power Steering Hoses Pipes - Where are all the spares!?

    just take the original to Pirtek and get them to make a replacement, as long as its roughly the same length you can just run it on a similar route to the original. I seen one recently on a mk1 kangoo where someone had a pirtek hose and it was just ran over the top of the engine and then down to...

    The new tool thread

    I cant remember who it was that posted the cheap USPRO long aviation spanners in here, I ordered a set and have sat on them for about 6 months never needing to use them. Doing a timing belt this weekend, wanted to get a ratchet spanner on a nut, couldn't get enough purchase on it to crack it...

    Martins Albi Clio 200 Tidy up project

    to be fair once the coolant residue was cleaned off the block is all the same at the front side, its been sitting leaking for a couple of weeks as ive not had time to get near it which is why all the dried in coolant residue is around the sump etc.

    Insurance when car is SORN-ed and stored

    one thing I will say, its unrelated to laid up cover and more for normal cover but I found a company that let me mirror my NCB, so I done that, and then at the end of the year they send me proof of NCB for my full entitlement so I got a renewal from both companies with full NCB. - Not sure if...

    Martins Albi Clio 200 Tidy up project

    I gave it a full service, the oil filter was SOLID, I couldn't budge it, had my massive water pump pliers on it and they slipped and caught the outlet pipe from the water pump and now I had a coolant leak, of course to get any access to see what was wrong it was the front end, alternator and...

    Martins Albi Clio 200 Tidy up project

    Bought this a few months ago with the intention of building a Meglio - It was an excellent base, FF with Cup pack, straight shell, bodywork and wheels in need of TLC and service history lost! But then I left my last job so decided to tidy it up and shift it on and free up the cash, so that's...

    Possibly Stupid Radiator A/C Question

    as above yeah you can just remove it, remember you will need to get someone with an ac machine to remove any left over gas that's pressurising the system if there's any left, because it would be REALLY REALLY irresponsible to remember to wear gloves and remove the cap over the valve and use a...

    1.2/ 1.2 tce

    its the same base engine but the internals are different, compression is different, given how cheap a TCE engine is, its much cheaper to just replace the engine than convert yours to TCE spec

    172 Cup Buying Advice!

    The 172 cup seats were specific to the cup, you could get a set of non RS seats from a dynamique that are a similar design but have different pattern on them, or fit RS seats, as they are all a straight swap and interchangeable but obviously its not "original" if that's what your going for. 172...
