I’ve used these at work & love them, I’d have preferred one to the Milwaukee stubby I bought. Yes the Milwaukee is more powerful but the shape of this snap on impact is perfect for getting in places you’d want to with a 3/8”. The Milwaukee misses that longer snout and I find I have to use...
The timing belt fuss these cars attract does kind of annoy me slightly, it’s part of the running costs IMO. Do people also factor in the next 5 years servicing too?
I get that it’s a big bill but it’s part of owning these cars and most of us that own them now aren’t kids who can’t afford to...
Indeed, I don’t really know why it’s being lumped in with ‘influencer’ wanna be gangsta channels and whole rants about them. They couldn’t be further from what you guys are moaning about
The accent comment was because they’re northerners (still bad I guess) not “u get me bro” menaces.

I didn’t like the look of my pulley so ended up with a new one. Incidentally, I was told Renault don’t have them anymore but my local dealer could get me one in a few days. I ended up ordering from Kam as they said it was in stock and next day, sadly they didn’t have it in stock as it didn’t...
I think you’re confusing these people with Jake Paul lol. There’s lots of quality channels I watch on youtube, I never watch normal TV. Harry is one of my favs, I even watch his farming channel too. Driftworks is one of the better ones IMO as they’re all really down to earth and some of the...
Love driftworks YT channel, it’s not about drifting. It’s mainly Phill’s cool toys (Lambo GT1 build, GT3, 964 911 turbo, v10 M3, M3 CSL, E30 M3 etc) and the clio track action now with Jay & the Craig from dynotorque in his mini (plus some vids on restoring his Pajero Evo) The Aston Martin Craig...
Lovely car, it’s pure clio perfection on the Turinis :love:
I really must get some Turinis for my car.
I get the track car tyre choice thing but 15’s just look so wrong to me.
The alternator comment was for the timing belt.
I didn’t remove the alternator but just tilted it out the way. Can’t remember exactly why but pretty sure it’s in the way of being able to remove part of the alloy cover the engine mount bolts to.
Just done mine the other week, It is a really tight job.
One important thing is to make sure you get a new aux belt and tensioner too. Also, check your crank pulley before you start, mine was quite perished on the rubber damper part so held me up waiting for a new one.
Soak the alternator...
Yes the horn is grey plug. Don’t whatever you do use the metal clip for the horn if it touches any metal connection to the earth on the horn part. It does look like it might be isolated from it though?
The black plug is for cruise control
The clio needs two airbag resistors, you’re better...
ha, like me with my STI. I only bought it as it was a nice car and don’t really like the colour. Everyone tells me how nice it is but I wish it was sonic.
Unfortunately ‘mint’ nowadays means a different thing thing than it used to. “It’s mint mate” is a statement that usually means avoid as it’s knackered.
The air con machine should be able to add some oil to the system.
I don’t do air con at work so don’t take this as gospel but looked up my 172 on our computer. Said it takes 130ml of oil, but then our air con machine can only add two digits so not sure how that works when replacing a...
My main POV on the engine is the reliability of them, especially for a French car. They are really solid engines.
There’s not many cars that would put up with years of kids beating on them with no doubt poor servicing and then be turned in to track cars & take a thrashing over n over on track.
