    Oldest game you still play?

    Red Alert 2 and Unreal Tournament 2004 are my go to games from back in the day. Built my 5yr old wee girl a Raspberry pi emulator and she's loving megadrive games ATM sonic II

    Squeaking fan belt

    You can swap the pulley its a clutch pulley on them and when they fail it causes a squeaking sound. i done one on mine a few years ago and it cured it, needed a special alternator clutch pulley tool to do it though.

    coilovers for my Renault Clio mk3

    Ive used AP's they were ok for the cash, think they are about on par cost wise with V-Maxx which I've no experience with

    S3 8p sportback

    We look after one of these for a customer at work, its on 160k and gets hammered everywhere and its been flawless other than wear and tear! even at those miles. Just fitted a non res scorpion and it sounds fantastic, quiet enough you could live with it all day long but a nice note on boost...

    DCI gearbox

    There was a thread on here a while ago about building a "genuine 300hp turbo 182" and the OP said that he found the box to be too log ratios under 300hp but perfect over that if I remember right

    Clio 1.6 weird engine noise

    as above with the screw driver, check the AC compressor, water pump, alternator, idlers etc. No dephaser to worry about on a MK2 iirc?

    Need to replace crank seal and timing belt. Separate jobs or pull engine?

    As above id look at it as an ideal time to whip the engine out and do a few other jobs assuming space/time isn't an issue

    That pink bagged baguette

    Good lad for doing it yourself mate. This is one thing that seems to have been lost with the modern car scene.

    best performance mods for 172?

    Ditch the HPAS for EPAS, Decat, ktec style intake, RSTuner 98ron map, that along with the 182 manifold and matched inlets is the spec I'm running on the van and it tears through the revs like no other 172/182 ive owned!

    How many true lifers?

    never really owned the one car more than a couple of years as I enjoy the tidying up bit more so I keep getting them mint then selling them lol must have had 30+ of the things but tbh the van will be with me forever probably, just due to the fact its pretty worthless and has so many hours into...

    Martin's Saxo VTR

    Not had much time to do anything with this so its just been tucked away but I took it to work today and gave it a fresh Oil filter, oil, air filter, fuel filter, and NGK plugs - and as a bonus found a fully stamped up service book in the glovebox! I've ordered a timing belt kit and water pump...

    MK5 Clio

    we were exactly the same that's why we tried one over the equivalent diesel as there was quite a jump in cost between the 2! Do you find it horribly un refined to drive too?

    Clio 182 for sale in Ireland

    The last time I sold a 182 it went to Ireland, Lad flew to Edinburgh airport, I picked him up, had a look round the car, all good, he drove to the ferry and away it went, probably the easiest sale I've had tbh! I know things are different with what's going on in the world etc but that's probably...

    MK5 Clio

    Same as the MK4 then, to be fair I had them in my 220 Trophy and I tried them once to make sure they worked, felt like I had pissed myself and never used them again haha
