The coolant temp sensors is in the thermostat housing not on the front of the block. The knock sensor is there the detect pinking of the engine (pre detonation) so it can alter the ignition so it no longer detonates as it tends to put holes in pistons over time. Looks to me as if it has been...

I haven't got a horn button on the end of my light stalk ? Is it an RS only thing ?

Wondered if it were anyone off here, i'll get them sent tomorrow special delivery so you should get them wednesday, works out cheaper to send the SD than 1st with this new size pricing thing. Afriad not, had these sitting in the garage collecting dust for about 6 months since I got the car...

Won't have any problems with adjustment on the handbrake or anything like that ? Just a case of using the adjuster to suite. Maybe not as it seems :D, won't pay mega money for it anyway as it'll only be a cosmetic upgrade for the most part.

Yeh another meet would be good but people didn't seem that bothered when I put a thread up, if we can get a few people interested again i'm sure something can be sorted.

Yep, deffo get the water pump changed. Didn't know about it when I did the cambelt on my old 1.2 and only found out after that it was probably the pump leaking as to where my coolant kept going, wasn't loosing a massive amount but it was leaking. Got shot of it in the end before it got to be a...

I did ~25 miles or so on in on Saturday, the digital readout said I had 0L in the tank before I set out so that was confidence inspiring. Was waiting for it to run out on me but it made it to the nearest shell garage luckily, waiting in traffic was torture.

Theres no crossover in the system unfortunately, the tweeter is connected somewhere in the dash to the same cable that runs to the mid and theres a cap on the tweeter to act as a filter. If you can find where the tweet is connected (shouldn't be too difficult just trace the wires) then you...

Sniping in the last 10 secs is my tried and trusted method. ;) Got quite a few watchers on it too (whether their just watching it or bidders who knows) so i'd wait until as late as possible.

Rather let it run now tbh, don't like to do it when theres a few people bidding on it they tend to get pissed off.

The only problem with the Clio is that with front components the tweeter is in the dash and the mid is in the door which would be fine if you could get cable into the door easily, which you can't as the grommet which goes to the door has a plug on the body end. One way is you have to drill the...

bump. finish tonight.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=008&item=180033965780&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWA%3AIT&rd=1 ^^^ Currently got my eye on that on the bay and i'm giving it some serious thought, I know it won't give me any major (if any) difference to braking but dependant on the finishing...

Took me about 6/7 hours to get it out working on my own with only axle stands and a jack to work with and about the same to put it all back again. If your going to a mechanic i'd say its time to get lubed up.

I looked into it before and came to the conclusion that I wasn't going to get insured for less than £3k so decided to buy the 1.6 instead. Looked into it again now i'm coming up to 19 and can't seem to get it for less than £2.5-3k again so won't be getting one this year either just doesn't make...

As petrols specific density at 60F is 0.7kg/cu.m a full tank (50l) weighs 35kg but obviously it changes with the temp, increases as it gets colder and decreases as it gets hotter. I can feel the extra weight of a full tank and passengers make a bigger difference again, not much but I can feel it.

Not overly complicated to fit but its a pain in the arse to get the out box out and the new box in. If its anything like my 1.6 which I imagine it will be you'll have to drop the subframe, other than that standard gearbox removal/refitting procedure.

Don't think the airbag connectors will match up so a bit of soldering may be in order. The rails and subframes should just go in fine.

The door cards won't fit as the Ph2 dash is a different shape to the Ph1. Seats should fit fine though.

The grill will flex quite a bit without breaking. I just bent it forward a bit and used a long screwdriver to pop the grill off the clips.

182 exhaust won't fit as the spare wheel well is in the way.

I did pretty much the same thing, passed my test and had my old 1.2 16v for about ten months before chucking it in for the 1.6 wouldn't go back thats for sure. Insurance was about £300 more over the 1.2, its definetly worth £300 thats for sure.

Oh yes a fridge visit was definetly in order after that ordeal, strange about the different locking systems on different models you'd expect them to have made one system and chucked it in all of them. Think most of the difficulties boiled down to the fact that either had little info or it was...

Makes a 1.5% increase going from 185/55s to 195/50s with the speedo. The 195s are a damn sight cheaper than 185s in my experience.

Turn the ignition on and turn the light stalk to sidelights and off twice. You should get a beep (or two) if you get it right.

Well f**k me sidewards, I think what i've just been through is known as a learning curve :). Figured it out in the end, had to wip the dash top off in the end to fit the ultrasonics (wish I knew I could take the airbag out would have helped no end) then had to play hunt the connector to find...

Ok, have made some progress this afternoon. Pretty certain its due to the activation/deactivation wires not being connected (no sh*t sherlock lol). If you look at the Renault Clio 2001 Plip.pdf file above then there is an activation controls section which is what I haven't wired up yet, makes...

Can't thank you enough for the help on this. Not sure tbh. http://www.m-sjoberg-ab.se/cobra.htm ^^^ That is the only place i'm getting any info from (about half way down). Theres a few diagrams on there but my swedish is non exitant so I can't tell what i'm looking at...
