Aircon switching on ;)

turn the ignition on and it calibrates. If you listen you'll hear it do it. Just opens and shuts to find min and max values

lolz, you don't have a throttle cable

post cat sensor is meant to sit at 0.5v all the time (or there abouts) it doesn't cycle like the pre cat sensor. If it's varying from this then it's seeing unusual readings. It doesn't effect the running of the engine in any way anyhow so all you can use it for is to give an indication of a...

Got your PM. I don't do PM's. Call me :)

your lot in a black vectra blocking it so I couldn't get down there at about 3am. Selfish

Jordan, were you down Cutcliffe Grove in a work vehicle late saturday night?

or over tightened. The thread is very close to the edge of the flywheel. If it's been gunned on or just done to FT then this could easily be the issue

We went for a 10w60 in the racecar. Either 5 or 10 is fine for the cold range. a 5w50 or 10w50 is pretty ideal for track days 20w50 is more often than not, a mineral oil grade, generally not very suitable to modern engines and degrading quite fast.

there's a degree of trial and error. I keep spares in for exactly this as they're pretty crap really

racecar will be down to having a cut off switch fitted. Immobilisers don't like that. Mick did something to Pete (Toastfrenzy)s wiring of the cut off and seems to have solved the immobiliser issue. Immobiliser data can only be cleared down by virginising the ECU and re-installing the map as far...

yes, CLIP is genuine diagnostics. what are you trying to achieve?

Had a cup do similar to this. Changed the throttle body and it fixed it. Oddly it never thrwe up any fault codes and no amount of cleaning the TB made the slightest difference. It was worst for happening when manouvering to park etc on full lock

has to be done in clip. Other Diagnostic tools can clear down fault codes but not long term fuel and ignition trim values

There were at least 3 at one point.

knocking = Replace Cheap enough for a 1.4

was meant to, then April, still delayed.....

they are ALL made to order, nothing is stocked. Takes around 3-4 days from order to delivery usually. a 3.5 inwardly rolled is the normal tailpipe for a Clio

starter motor

Sounds like the aux belt slipping. Probably wet as above, but it's overdue for changing anyway edit, misread, done at 38k, not 38k ago.......needs looking at anyway

1. TURN CAPS LOCK OFF 2. What is the symptoms of the problem? Won't crank over or cranks but won't catch and fire?

I use an old machinsts spanner for adjusting mills and lathes. Perfect size, and cut from a flat piece of steel so nice and thin.

oh hiiii one of them "rare" red ones just happened to be in the same are then ;)

It used to live at the end of the Embankment, bought recently (2-3 months ago) by another guy who's on here but not a regular poster. Done a bit to it recently

bolts are only too short if you DON'T buy a proper kit

condensation, don't often see it on a 172 but 182's are terrible for it, seen litres pour out before

ah right, yes that's a very nice system indeed. Different price range though

Janspeed mild steel system is quieter than a non genuine standard one and 130 quid less than genuine. I proved it to someone today with my itb'd 172
