    Getting Custom Exhaust At 11Am! :D

    3" pipe? Ideally you need 2.5" to maintain back pressure etc. It will run better with 2.5"

    Starter motor heat shield

    When I replaced my engine we forgot to replace this heat sheild. Never did it any harm in the 2 years I had the car! Leave it off!

    Losing water and smoking 172

    I had a pin hole in the radiator before and it used about 1litre of water a day! So could possibly be this. I couldn't find the leak anywhere as the water was burnt off. Worth a try, but if the garage have looked at the car and say there's no leak?

    Losing water and smoking 172

    All cars run a mix of coolant and water. Just the coolant you buy from Renault is already mixed. In reality your paying renault for 50% water! I'd drain the oil out and check for signs of contamination with water. But it sounds very like the head gasket has gone!

    Please help identify this noise (video)

    Very bad practice to remove a belt and then use the same 1 again. I personally would have changed the belt, they're only around £15. It's the belt tensioner that is the expensive part and it will be fine without changing!

    Coolant Change on Meggy 225

    Going to do this later this afternoon. Anyone tell me where the bleed screw and drain plugs are? Is there a drain on the engine block? Or just remove bottom radiator hose? Also a guide on best way to fill/bleed would be good! Thanks, Stuart

    Rs tuner mot question

    A Decat will also pass MOT. They just fail the car cause it's not there, not because it failed the emissions!

    Northern Ireland Run up the Coast 4th April 2010

    Few Pics I took! Didn't get too many as I didn't actually make it to Portrush. Had to go on round to Portstewart to meet the Agent and get the keys for our house as we were staying up over Easter! Got to love the line up on the Boucher Road!

    Detailled the Sister in Laws car 2 weekends ago! She wanted a bit of correction to the paintwork and the interior fixed as the seats were badly stained. Interior: Hoovered to remove loose dirt. Wet vacuumed using Vax. The seats and carpets were treated with Megs APC which was allowed to...

    Inferno Megane 225 Detail

    Last weekend was the first chance I got to have a look at my 225. Only had her 3 weeks and had been itching to get the buffer at it! As you can see the car was filthy before starting. Well there's no point starting with a clean car!! So 1st stage was a good rinse with the power hose and lots...

    how to do a full oil change?

    DO NOT USE A FILTER FROM HALFORDS. My old 172 spat the rubber seal out the side of a hlaford filter. Bye Bye bottom end!

    Did you check the dephaser cam pulley? This gives a really bad ticking noise and could be your problem!

    Spider-web effect on a brand new car? PC?

    The only way totally eliminate getting cob webbing is to pc the car then never wash it or breathe on it again! Seriously, as said you can only minimise the chances but u will always get a bit after washing!

    Best thing for removing swirls

    Start on a very low speed (as low as it goes) to spread the polishe. Build up the speed, I rarely use it above about 2.5/3. Keep it moving so not to rub through. Finish on the slowest speed to burnish/refine the finish to a better shine. Start with a light polish and pad combo and work up until...

    Best thing for removing swirls

    If you do get a Rotary, get some scrap panels to practice on 1st. If you don't learn to use it properly you'll make the paintwork more hologrammy. Or worse still buff through the paint.

    Best thing for removing swirls

    Rotary revolves in circles. DA oscilates in a random motion, like a figure of eight.

    Best thing for removing swirls

    3m Fast Cut + by rotary on a 3m green pad. Then refine with Menzerna! and you get this:
