    Bolt help

    To be honest I hit a quiet spell yesterday afternoon and got purchasing to try and source these. Couldn't find anyone with any stock or source for these unfortunately. I didn't try Bapp as they're a competitor of ours locally, may be worth a try in your Donny branch.

    A mispick at the supplier perhaps?...

    Brake Cooling - How much difference?

    I kinda like how ugly they are! Makes them look purposeful. What about if you re-fitted them from behind, so the "flange" was hidden, and the cutout only showed the guts of the vent?

    Headlights full - procedure?

    I've never been able to successfully rectify my headlights but I've seen a coat fresh of lacquer work wonders on other people's.

    Bolt help

    If this hasn't been sorted I'll put the feelers out through work. Any idea on quantity? Does he want 4 or 400?

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    I bought a house :LOL: To be honest, since the last post, I changed job twice, went through COVID (so that's 2 years deleted), bought a house and renovated it and got some cats. But I've found all my photos of me doing bits so I'll be uploading them in the next few days.

    I still have this! And its still on Apex springs :LOL: As it stands currently, even though its an old pic:

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    It won't be particularly interesting, but I'll see about getting one done! In fact I might have one on here somewhere from 100 years ago...

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Will do! Clearing the garage this weekend to make space to strip it down! Does anyone read build threads anymore? Worth doing one?

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Defo fitting a cooler. I'm currently harassing Beauvais via PM :D I was thinking as a belt and braces technique, cooler and uprated fluid, seeing as its not exactly expensive!

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    That's interesting, I actually deal with Tetrosyl through work (both buying from and selling to) so it would be worth getting in touch with them to check! Would there be any downside to going to Dexron V? Other than price? Also, going into the 'volume on demand' idea, as long as the cooler...

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Yes! Thank you. We're cooking with gas now! Is a smaller cooler better than a larger one? i.e. Any cooling is better than what's on now, and a smaller cooler would keep the pressure up? I've been looking at generic 10 and 13 row coolers, approx 300x100mm.

    Brake Cooling Ducts for Clio 2

    Why is everyone so keen to keep the liners? To protect the belts on the drivers side? To stop the arches parachuting?

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Amazing help thank you so much for this! I'm 99% certain I've got my head around it now! Will send you a message regarding the kit. I love those drybreaks but I think they're a bit unnecessary for me. I'm glad this is gaining momentum - stops me looking for wheels I don't need!

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Thank you all, this info is fantastic! That would be amazing, thank you! More than happy to fire some beer tokens over to show my appreciation. DM me if you'd prefer to sort it there. I've got access to a lathe - is the adaptor to go from the fitting from the pump to the -8AN pipe? I'm...

    Livery Photoshop Request

    I didn't have a camera going I'm afraid mate. Nardo grey will look great! Mine is currently off the road doing a winter rebuild

    Livery Photoshop Request

    Saw you at Blyton! Think we exchanged a sneaky thumbs up. I was in the black 172 with the yellow cage and black team dynamics, driving slow as hell lol. Also, free bump for this photoshop masterclass!

    Power Steering Pump: How Loud is Too Loud?...

    Thought I'd bump this rather than starting a new thread. I've had the PAS pump done along with the belts, threw the car round Blyton and boiled the fluid again, so definitely need to get this cooler fitted this winter. Going off the above, am I right in thinking its as simple as cutting the low...

    Cleaning pole positions

    Also keep an eye on the ends of the "combs" if using on something soft. If you press too hard and the surrounding material is higher, you can catch the cloth. But otherwise, a great tool. Good for getting cat hair off the stairs.

    Best Clio specialist garage in Manchester?

    Another vote for Birchdown. I um'd and ah'd about going down there for a few years (I'm near Blackburn, so North of you) but I bit the bullet this year for belts & PAS pump with no regrets. Sound lads. Just don't drive straight past like I did and get lost miles down the road lol.

    Knee pads - What are people using?

    Old thread I know, but tough. What are these like if you're a big lad? The ones I had (admittedly cheap) had straps that kept slipping/rolling down, most likely to the size of my thighs #bootylicious

    New, Fully Electric Renault 5

    I still kinda like the looks of this, but with new cars, I may as well be giving my opinion on super yachts. The (badly kept) secret rear doors are annoying, as its not like there isn't an equivalent 5dr somewhere in the range. Interesting how they've used large wheels to make it seem smaller...

    Painting inside of car

    I wrapped mine with Tesa loom tape (cloth tape that looks oem), and relocated the boot light to halfway up the C pillar. I used satin black rattle cans and the result was very similar to the above. My only pointer would be that it absolutely stank of paint for weeks after so definitely worth...

    Vibrations at certain rpms

    Defo sounds like the mounts need loosening, letting the engine idle to find it's happy place and then re-torquing. With them re-torqued it should alleviate any worries of them being too tight as well.

    Cheap 10.1" Carplay Headunits (eBay etc) - Non Clio

    Okay I've done more research. You are both correct. Some are great, some are gash. Basically you want more than 2gb of RAM apparently, and the brands T'Eyes, Xtrons & Joying are decent brands with good customer service. Unfortunately those ones are up in the £250 or so category, so I need to...

    Cheap 10.1" Carplay Headunits (eBay etc) - Non Clio

    Opposing views! One of the reasons I was looking at the cheap ones was the larger screens. A lot of the branded ones just do a 6.8 double DIN size screen whereas the cheap ones have up to a 10.1 screen and look more modern.

    Cheap 10.1" Carplay Headunits (eBay etc) - Non Clio

    Non- Clio content! Obviously not putting a 10.1" screen in my track car :ROFLMAO: Getting a new daily shortly, and I'm looking into a decent head unit. I mainly listen to podcasts & metal music when driving to work, so I don't need crushing bass etc, and the car has a seemingly decent sound...

    Have I broken my car? Changing steering wheel, now car lacks power, in all gears

    Normally its not this bad, but I think the issues have been caused with the breakages.
