    The Pirate Bay blocked by BT ?

    yes its far worse being the drug dealer as well as supplying it hes also carrying it! but thats not what the pirate bay is doing in comparison. what the pirate bay is doing is the same as if someone comes to me and says they are looking to score a few pills and i say - go ask that dude! ive not...

    3rd cylinder problem (with pics)

    i dont understand why you took it apart and will now need to spend £500 odd quid to put it back together without fully ruling out everything else first! are the valves all opening and closing ok and try the petrol in the head to make sure all valves are sealing properly.

    MK2 PH1 Grande to 172 PH1

    splitter is cool! set of dual optics, clear side repeaters and do something with your 16v badges, possibly silver or colourcode, colourcode the fog light surrounds. Ph1 rear lights wud suit that better i recon being all red. most importantly they wing mirrors need to go in the bin!

    Very NOT ####ING happy !!!

    i beleive under MOT rules though they are physically not aloud to remove any part to further inspect anything, so if the beam pattern is off they are not aloud to check the bulbs are secure etc. i could be wrong.

    2200 miles and its going into the dealership already!

    yeah i understand the shorter shaft is always going to spin up first when launching but i dont launch it, and ive very rarely had it spin a wheel on exit of a corner either, however we will see how the next pair of tyres wear. ill report back when the new tyres are on, probably friday morning...

    views on toyo proxes T1-R's ?

    try running a couple psi more than you usually would on your road tyres, helps a bit with the rolley polley sidewalls! think i was running 35psi front 32psi rear, was a few years back tho

    2200 miles and its going into the dealership already!

    also quick question, if the car is suffering from a sticking pad or something brake related, will a brake efficiency tester or what ever they call it that they use for MOT's show this up, as like i said around town the brakes feel fine no pulling, hard on the brakes approaching a roundabout etc...

    2200 miles and its going into the dealership already!

    yep thats the issue as far as they are concerned its ok, now i dont know enough about suspension geometry to say if that can still cause the issue or not, id imagine on day to day road driving thats acceptable, (it drives fine daily) push on though and its dangerous.

    2200 miles and its going into the dealership already!

    i suggested that but the renaultsport specialist dealer doesnt have one as a demo car, or for sale anywhere. neither a megane either! lol

    2200 miles and its going into the dealership already!

    heres the alignment report guys... They said the subframe sits in locating dowels, so once its in, you cant get movement from it, so once Progrip got it sitting in properly, thats as much as you can do, so it still has that 4mm difference between the front wheels. Everything is sitting within...

    Coilovers - confused which bolt spacing you have?

    im sure someone found a 1.2 16v that had never had any work done on it that had 52mm spacing! but ive personally never saw one, all the mk2 ph2/3 1.2 16v's ive ever worked on were 58mm

    Strange handling.

    ive owned 5 mk2 clios and had to do rear dampers on all 5 at some point! 3 of them have had rear discs and all 3 needed both handbrake cables too at some point!

    car went in today, they have full 4 wheel lazer aligment, looks similar to a hunter setup but this one is a snap-on one. alignment was done, subframe all checked etc car is now all within manufacturer tollerances, car is still slightly unstable under braking but keep in mine one of they tyres...
