since this has been a week of fixing my car, i might as well get some form of air intake At the moment, the airbox is useless as it has a huge hole in the front and it doesnt connect to the air intake houseing well Also, the tubing from the bottom of the bumper has perished, so has been...

thanks, will have a look tomorrow - in the light Hope ive got enough tools to swap it over, cant wait to have a normal sounding car!

he said he would like me to collect it, if not i can arrange a courier Just wondering who. I know royal mail offer a service where they pick it up from your house, just not sure if they'll accept a bonnet (or if id want them to!!) they were very fussy when i sent a bumper!

Ive found me a new bonnet on ebay, except its 200 miles away.. in liverpool Its in the same colour as mine, and ill be damned if i can find another one! Question is, is it possible to send it via a courier? i could drive it, but dont really fancy the 400 mile round trip

http://physix.org/cars/manifold/ thats a few pics of it it looks alright, anyone know for sure? Also, what way on does the gasket go?

i have a 91 RT 1.8 8v - F3P engine i need a new manifold, was wondering if this one would fit http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/renault-clio-exhaust-manifold-from-a-1996-1800-8-valve_W0QQitemZ4600881595QQihZ002QQcategoryZ10410QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem only ask cause im not sure if it...

the light doesnt come on at all The damage

Last time i did a brake test (middle of dartmoor, no one else around) I just skidded, meaning my ABS is broken somewhere. The light doesnt come on on the dash, its just as if I have normal brakes. Will this be OK for an MOT?

yup, exactly the same problem, always a spider web over the mirror :(

On my road infact! Saw a lowered white valver and a blue 182 with huge renault sport stickers on it, on Daniels Becoming a clio street ;) These belong to anyone here?

yeh, its not too bad if you are taking the switch out, i suggest draining the gearbox first, otherwise it just splashes out the switch hole, covering your shoulder in (still hot) oil. you have to be impossibly quick to avoid any leakage. just make sure you have some hose and a funnel...

update ;) Was just the lead. So i needent have spent £30 on tools/parts :( got the oil back in using an awesome method of fish tank tubing, a plastic cup, some kitchen roll and a jerry can. i stink of gearbox oil. great.

starting to talk to myself here... but (via a clever use of old wing mirrors) ive deduced its the connection between the switch and the lead (unless the new switch doesnt work!) So i think i need some form of conductive grease or something, to make a proper connection

Went out and got a replacement switch today (£13!) Switched the switch (old one looked fine) and still no reverse lights! so something inside the 'box isnt pushing the switch? :/ hope i dont have to bodge it somewhere else!

right, when i short the switch, my reverse lights come on This means i need a new switch yeh? Are these easy to change? ok, looking through my haynes manual, it appears ive answered my own question :p unscrew old switch, replace washer, screw in new switch. if i do it quickly enough...

ah, found the switch. well, one that goes in to the 'box anyway will try the paperclip thingy now

A while ago my reverse lights went Its not the bulbs or the fuses so i think it must be the little switch in the gear box How easy is it to fix this sort of thing? Anyone got any pics of the switch location? tis a mk1

Ive seen that guide before and it looks great... except it doesnt mention what size bolt you need (assuming it threads into the torsion bar)

Yeh, saw it again is a 172 cup

think that might be the same one i keep seeing in welwyn gdn

i thought mine felt quite smooth today actually Although, sitting in traffic watching the temp needle steadily rising is not fun :(
