how far should the sleeves be pushed in before welding? all the way so the bush sits flush against the wishbone? a la or similar to my old ones where the sleeve only sticks out a cm and a little out the back? just concerned that if i do them flush they stick out more and won't fit back...

bank refers to a group of cylinders, a 4 cylinder engine has 1 bank of four cylinders, a v6 engine has two banks of 3 cylinders (for example). bank 1 is the group of cylinders that contains cylinder #1. in the case of the clio, it only has one bank of cylinders, there is no bank 2. what you'll...

anthracite turinis cannot be beat on the cup. best wheels for it. unfortunately they command a very high price :( which is why i run 16" pro race 1.2s (like everyone else) that i picked up for £150 :):)

what is it?

i had a load of hassle trying to remove my last one. i made a tool in the end out of a spanner, socket wrench and spark plug socket. did the job in about 10 minutes where the day before i spent a couple of hours trying to shift it. stick the ring end of the 22mm (i think) spanner on the sensor...

Re: My 172 monaco no, how do they balance the car, as in what if the weight is 60/40, what do they do?

Got to ask yourself why is he selling it so quickly? 1 owner from new and bought off neighbour prob means he's had it for less than a week Sent from my ZTE-BLADE using Tapatalk

Re: My 172 monaco how do they balance the car?

ok you win that one. having only ever seen a mark 1 valve i misunderstood how that part of it works. i never did replace my load sensing valve. even though it reads efficiency 150 on the left and 50 on the right, i don't notice anything untoward when braking on the road.

you can't fail an mot on rear brake balance, the fronts yes but not the rears. my mot tester probably angled my failure more towards low efforts than imbalance. the arm isn't supposed to be fully up. if it was, what purpose would the spring and valve serve?

omg your post contains more crap than the whole thread! in a polite way of course :cool: if you put more weight in the back of the clio the braking force will increase, not the other way. think about which way the valve, arm and beam move as you add more weight in the back. there's plenty...

the_jons, could you forward me the email? sounds like good ammo for next time. i'll pm you my email

Are u sure? When my arm was cable tied up the brake efficiency increased Sent from my ZTE-BLADE using Tapatalk

the plan is to fit one for the mot just to make life easier. i'm off to a breakers yard next week would be good to get an idea of what is required.

i'll let you know. i've got a bumper to fit that hasn't been cut, and i'm tempted to leave it that way if i can get hold of a stealth back box.

do you know what exact components are missing from the cup?

no you don't need to as it's just the upper inlet you are removing. if you ever remove the lower inlet you need to replace the inlet-to-head gasket.

a world of difference, mine misfired between 5-6k rpm until i took the bosch ones out and put correct ngk ones in. a shame, as ngk are four times the price of the bossch ones! bit of a pain to change though as you have to remove the inlet manifold. not difficult, just a bit long winded as you...

yeah mine said platinum on the box i think

i bet you've got bosch spark plugs in there and not ngk :approve: edit: beaten by seconds

Re: My 172 monaco does that sticker on the steering wheel say "hero"? love it. what is the hole corner weighting thing? i know it balances the car up, but what do they do to it- adjust the suspension depending on weight?

I've just remembered something I read a while ago, I've heard the stealth can have a little more 'boom', I assume as the pipe is facing directly towards the ground

bueller?

just looking at these guys, funny that he's working on a clio sport in the picture http://www.readingdentremoval.co.uk/what-we-do/

all sorts. a couple have a crease in the dent. a couple are just dings. a couple are on the body line.

more dings than dents to be honest. car park stuff. anyone tried this? more hassle than it's worth? please no scaremongering, just like to hear from people in the know or those who have tried :cool:

the position of the arm does have an effect. you moved it in the right direction, the higher the arm the greater the rear braking pressure. problem is, due to no movement they must disentegrate inside over time. you may need to go the official route with regards to challenging the test result...

from what i read the op indicated right at a mini roundabout and turned right, the van coming the opposite direction hit him in the side when he should have stopped to give way.
