You just don't want to drive far.

Looks like we'll being going down the CSF car meet route with a separate track day after all.

Llandow's shite, it's an oval with one chicane.

What about splitting it into two events? Normal CSF day like we used to have at Gaydon and Duxford and a separate track day at another venue on a different day, it's not ideal but it has the advantage of only having to organise the CSF day as a track day company can organise the other. Might...

£25 is fne i'll get them off ebay, I don't trust autodoc after reading a lot of people get sent they're own brand stuff rather than what they actually ordered.

Isn't that for one though? Edit : My bad, it says 4 in the description.

Ok nice one, looks like a full set for a 172 is basically a hundred quid whichever I buy, at least I have a couple of options, cheers lads.

How much were they and where did you get them from?

Everything on the Clio is new, it's a piece of piss to work on compared to the Golf.

Of course they're a hundred quid, f*cking cars!

So what size do I need and where do i buy them from? I couldn't find them on RPD.

I was under the impression Renault had stopped making that part?

Which HT leads should I buy for my 172? One of it's problems is an electrical fault causing it to cut out and arching HT leads are the most likely culprit, the fact that I can't remember them ever being changed or if they have I can't remember when, means they're due for a change anyway, they...

The wheels look like casters.

That would have sold in massive numbers over here, great looking hot hatch.

What a cool little car, I had no idea these existed.

That sounds like a vacuum leak, you sure you've plugged everything back in?

Where do you live? The members of this club are pretty sound, there may be someone local willing to lend you their throttle body and pedal for a day.

All ph2 172 and 182 TB's are the same. Ph1 TB's are drive by wire and all have cables, so they won't work.

You could clean it with WD40 and a toothbrush, the hinges on the butterfly valve collect crap especially if you have an oil impregnated air filter, but the cutting out issue sounds like a total signal loss, swap for a mates TB and see if that helps.

They do get gunked up with sh*t (engine temp may free it up a little) and they also wear out over time, a hell of a lot of my electrical issues went away when I swapped the throttle body over.

This will be what's causing the limp mode, most probably the signal from the accelerator pedal to the throttle body has weakened or is intermittent, probably best to borrow one off someone else's car for a day to see if it fixes it before you commit to buying a replacement throttle body.

Wasn't close enough to see if it was Lotus Carlton or just a regular one, not seen one in years.

There was one on Top Gear last week, I guess they're hoping it'll generate some sales.

The only yank channel I watch is 1320video, I like the Drag Week tours, I have no wish to visit America but if I had the chance to do one of those mega road trips in a hot rod i'd definitely go.

Best episode yet.

Is the driver wearing a balaklava?

As far as I know the gossip was that he left his wife and new born for Renee Zellweger, but from what he said it was his wife that left him holding the baby, literally! He was then in lockdown on his own with a new born, then met RZ months afterwards while making another show.
