Hmm, tempting me now. What even with 3 peeps in the back and speed bumps ? Don't suppose you've got any pics ? The ones in media don't work.

bump, anyone got any first hand experience with them ? Think 60mm will be too much, still want to be able to carry 5 people in the car if need be and I don't want it to rub.

Just to add, i've got components in the rear because I got bored and fancied a project one saturday afternoon. Basically don't bother, they give little to no sound improvement in the front at all, does sound better in the back though and it kept me entertained for a few hours.

Its birthday time coming up and the rents keep asking me what I want, seems like a good excuse to get my suspension sorted at a discount rate (ie feck all :eek:). If I were just to got for springs it'd be a set of Eibach Sportlines, but i've also been looking at full kits too and have stumbled...

Well theres a few amber lights on the dashboard so it could be a variety of things, what does it look like ?

I find that copperslip will cure it until you get the brakes warm after a nice bit of enthusiatic braking, then after than it seems to dry it out or something and the squeeking returns. I can strip the brakes down clean them up and put fresh copperslip on and they'll be fine until I get the...

I'd get it warmed up so it sticks then try the cable by hand and try the throttle body by hand as well so you should be able to work out which is causing the sticking. Could just be the grease in the cable when its warm, my clutch cable is starting to do the same thing.

Have they tried lubing it up where the shaft the throttle rotates on goes through the throttle body casing ? Could just be lack of/dry grease and its seasing when it warms up.

Doubt it online, although I found they were only a tenner dearer at the local tyre fitters and once your factored in getting them fitted/balanced/etc it would cost the same as I had got them from my tyres and with less hassle. Might be worth ringing around, got mine for £45 a corner.

Rear discs were an option on the 1.6 16v and The DCi 100. First one i've seen with them fitted though. Might be due for a fluid changer and bleed then or something else, the 1.2 16v/1.4 16v/1.6 16v brakes are from the williams/valver.

Unless your taking the piss in which case :o they look like the standard calipers.

b*****d, one with rear discs. Never seen one before all the ones i've looked at had drums, wonder if they started putting them on as standard on the Ph3s.

I spotted a racing blue 182 in nuneaton yesterday, can't remember where it was but is probably the same one as i've never seen one going about before.

Mine will clear condensation off the mirror usually inside of a minute, there a great feature for when there condensationed up and you can't see out them. Not sure you'd actually be able to feel any warmth from them though, well I can't anyway.

Haven't got them on mine and don't plan fitting them anytime soon either. It just makes me wonder as although there not factory fit xenons they are at the factory xenons, makes me wonder if the tester will think there standard fit and fail it :(.

Yeh mine are a white/blue/purple sort of colour. Did your car pass the MOT with the xenons on ? Although you've got headlight washers haven't you ?

Yeh its the electrical fault light, can point to coil packs but as Daz says it could be anything really. Which is helpful.

Oh well, as I thought then. The leds actually are dimmer than the normal sidelight bulbs they've replaced, i've had them on a while now and have been past plenty of coppers and i've been ok so far so they'll be staying for the time being.

Hmm, white ones are legal going off that then.

Indeed, best £7 i'd spent in ages. Pretty sure there still illegal though, says not for road use on the ones I bought. Got mine from halfrauds were £7. Yep there basically LEDs with a resistor built in and are made to fit the sidelight holder.

It'll have the connector.

Its £10 a litre from halfrauds (ouch) and I had to use 3.5l of it for my JB3 box, not sure if the JC5 is the same it'll be around the same sort of mark. Needs to be drained and replaced as it'll come out of the diff when you remove the driftshafts. Actually made a massive improvement changing...

Liking that a lot. Doooooo it. :D

You rang ? http://homepage.ntlworld.com/pih.01/wheel800/

How if you don't mind me asking? Would be handy to know.

Bulb dead ? The oems (at least mine are) are Osram Xenarc bulbs, think there about £90 from the stealers but i've seen them on the net somewhere for about 60 notes.

Yeh they do, you can put it into either. 2-way or 3-way mode where the outputs are either Front, Rear and Sub or High, Mid and Low. It does look to be a hardwired thing to me.

Pretty sure you can't afiak.

Was it a proper renault cable or an oem jobbie ? Apparently the non renault ones are crap and cause problems like you've described and the generally snap again pretty quickly.

Xenons yes easy peasy, just a case of swapping the lights over. Climate i've looked into and don't even go there, theres a massive list of components and looms you'd need and it would end up costing a fortune. Even if you have a stacked 172/182 to get the parts off i'm still not sure you could...
