    What to do with a part broken chassis

    last one i done i just put the shell free to a good home on facebook and a gypo in a transit recovery motor came and dragged it on with a winch. i had lifted it with the engine crane, took the axel stands out and dropped it on a couple of planks of wood to protect the drive when it was getting...

    Dab home stereo options

    not a lot of receivers have DAB these days as it never really took off with A/V gear, My Denon AV receiver doesn't have it but it does have Bluetooth and wifi so you can just stream anything you want to it (internet radio etc) from your phone or directly on the receiver controlled via the smart...

    Power Steering Pump Solution - Without Deleting it.

    If it's just pump failures, stick a brand new pump on it, no one had issues with pumps as far as I can remember on here until the cars were about 15yrs old! Now everyone is throwing pumps. Touching on the EPAS, it does have its issues, I drove one that felt horrible and inconsistent, mine is...

    Check auto gearbox.

    my 220 trophy had 3x batteries in the time I owned it... (i sold it at 12 months old!) it used to do some crazy crazy things in the 2 weeks leading up to it finally breaking down.

    Gigi the Gordini’s thread

    Looking good! the steering wheel stripes always f**k with my OCD too, the Twingo was the same! on LHD cars the stripes on the bonnet and roof match the ones on the top of the steering wheel but on RHD cars it looks odd! once you have seen it you cannot un-see it!

    182 injectors and down/up/across to EFI parts for a remap for 140hp. Add a front mount intercooler and decat if you want to push towards 150hp

    Car wouldn’t start, but battery and alternator are good?

    Battery is on its way out or earth strip, will be one of those 2. Take a jump lead from the negative battery terminal to a good solid metal bit of the body shell and try and start it, if it starts fine then it's an earth strap somewhere that's corroded or broken. If not then it's the battery...

    Martin's Clio DCi Van

    Local scrappy got a white dci in for breaking, went and had a look as my front bumper had a load of scuffs on it! Mine looks like this... One on the scrap car was dirty but good condition, £30 later... Swapped over the rubbing strip's, gave it all a clean. Not swapped the fogs as one of mine...

    Clio 1.6 RSi looks lovely to me

    Clio enthusiasts come in all forms though! you have the MK1 lot, The V6 fans, the Diesel smokers etc! Its one of those cars that will eventually sell but its audience is so small it will take its time! Agree the seller seemed to think they were onto something more desirable than it is, the...

    Question about Daytime running lights on Clio IV

    Actually now I read it, he said a 64 plate which will be a ph1 so yes you were thinking of the right car, the little DRL on the grill. They also just get swapped by changing the full unit

    Clio 1.6 RSi looks lovely to me

    I think it's one of those cars you would need to be a proper Clio fan to see the appeal. I like them they drive nice and go quite well. But I would see it as more quirky and rare to a modern classic, but then you look at older warm hatch type cars from a few years before the RSI like an AX GT...

    Subframe 1727182

    Mine tracks identical to a normal 182. Apparently ph1 subframes are different but all ph2 subframes are the same width.

    Subframe 1727182

    Identical on my diesel one, only difference was it was missing the hole for the lower gearbox mount. Just check to confirm the above incase the 1.2 one isn't as thick, regardless I'm sure if it's thiner then it will be lighter!! Diesel one is definitely ok as that's what I run and the wide...
