    182 Trophy Fuel Line Problem

    ah gutted, at least having a connection means your not replacing the full line back to the tank, RPD should be able to tell you if a new replacement is still available, if not one from a breaker will be fine as its a fairly uncommon fault!

    2021 dash clocks kmh to mph

    You will be able to change the centre screen to MPH, see if that causes the miles to convert.

    Cheap Ferrari F355

    I wanted to finance one when they were about £30k and i still stayed at home when all my mates were ticking up £30k on S3's etc my bird talked me out of it (cow) and then they sky rocketed. always worried its a never meet your hero situation though and they actually wouldn't be that nice to...

    WiFi router recommendations please

    No reason that currently Wireless AP shouldn't be fast enough for what your doing with it, especially given its hard wired to your existing router. sure something newer will give better performance but should still be more than enough for video calling, have you looked at the config to make sure...

    Mk3 GT questions please 🙏

    It's specific springs and dampers on the GT, others will most likely fit but the spec of the standard ones were much different from the normal mk3, my mate had a mk3 dynamique S at the same time I had my GT DCI and the difference in the way they handled and the body roll was massive. Just...

    Martins Albi Clio 200 Tidy up project

    I've seen a lot worse and it was still structurally strong but i wanted to fix all the advisories from the last MOT so its got a clean bill of health!

    VVT delete

    I honestly think your overcomplicating it, id stick a new dephaser on it, i get you had an issue with a faulty dephaser, ive not heard of any issues with them previously, if its a faulty part then renault should be swapping it out under the parts warranty? Id imagine if a known issue has been...

    Martins Albi Clio 200 Tidy up project

    Got the belts all finished today, got the coolant changed and then ran upto temp without the aux setup fitted to check for leaks, all good! Much better! The old radiator support was badly corroded as they do on these, picked up as an advisory on the last few MOT so replaced it with a new one...

    VVT delete

    Yes 1.6 is just a stroked version. I was curious as to what car it was going into due to gearbox mounting. I would imagine it will throw an error if it doesn't have a dephaser solenoid plugged in, it's maybe worth contacting fastchip at www.fastchip.nl to see if they can offer a solution for...

    VVT delete

    what's your end goal? it seems a complicated change why do you want to remove the VVT? or is it going into a pre VVT mk2 clio?

    Upgrade/Remove or Repair to OEM? (A/C, PAS, etc)

    I run EPAS on my van, I'm not sure id want it on a dedicated track car, as the feel isnt great and its been a little inconsistent (motor etc is all good) imo its better than no PAS for a track car, as i dont think im strong enough or fast enough to catch it when it gets out of shape without PAS...

    Prima Racing 172 Maxi v2/Max Power

    Correct me if im wrong but that looks like a K4M 1.6 16v engine, at least the rocker cover, no VVT with that circle bit at the front, centre. engine: 1.6 16v pre VVT: F4R 172/182:

    Clio RS 200 gearbox removal

    As I've not got got a 2/4 post lift I just pulled the engine and box out in one go, I found that much easier than wrestling the thing in and out on the deck. - If you have the space and tooling that's what id be doing

    ill grab one next time I'm at the scrappers and give it a go, cheers!

    Rs3 200 cup help please 😊

    I wouldn't bother with the manifold, decat and centre delete you will probably just gain a horrible flat spot, never found the paper filter to be a restriction either, i think people fit the "v6 airbox" that RPD sell so may be worth doing that if you want to change the inlet setup.

    Weird suspension/bearing noise?

    Likely as dan says above, he will have caught the back plate when removing or fitting the wheel, on the OSR when turning LEFT a tiny bit of play in the wheel bearing is just enough for it to catch, probably find its touching the disk at the bottom you should be able to see it if you look underneath

    197 Wipers intermittently stop working

    Bit stumped with this one guys, wipers work as they should when they are working, no sign of any bent or sticky linkage - happens no matter if the windscreen is wet or dry (which rules out drag on the blades overloading a weak motor?) Suddenly the wipers will just stop either at the fully...

    Power Steering Hoses Pipes - Where are all the spares!?

    just take the original to Pirtek and get them to make a replacement, as long as its roughly the same length you can just run it on a similar route to the original. I seen one recently on a mk1 kangoo where someone had a pirtek hose and it was just ran over the top of the engine and then down to...

    The new tool thread

    I cant remember who it was that posted the cheap USPRO long aviation spanners in here, I ordered a set and have sat on them for about 6 months never needing to use them. Doing a timing belt this weekend, wanted to get a ratchet spanner on a nut, couldn't get enough purchase on it to crack it...

    Martins Albi Clio 200 Tidy up project

    to be fair once the coolant residue was cleaned off the block is all the same at the front side, its been sitting leaking for a couple of weeks as ive not had time to get near it which is why all the dried in coolant residue is around the sump etc.

    Insurance when car is SORN-ed and stored

    one thing I will say, its unrelated to laid up cover and more for normal cover but I found a company that let me mirror my NCB, so I done that, and then at the end of the year they send me proof of NCB for my full entitlement so I got a renewal from both companies with full NCB. - Not sure if...

    Martins Albi Clio 200 Tidy up project

    I gave it a full service, the oil filter was SOLID, I couldn't budge it, had my massive water pump pliers on it and they slipped and caught the outlet pipe from the water pump and now I had a coolant leak, of course to get any access to see what was wrong it was the front end, alternator and...
