poor wee thing! I know theres more traction etc i'm just a tad surprised is all, it wasn't an off the line job so its simple torque application that's done it, already rolling in gear, thought it'd take way more than that the reason i'm interested is obviously a common thing now is to fit...

was it a VAG box as well? very surprised it went pop as they are supposedly strong as the proverbial ox :)

rofl, boost fear :) looked like a good day out lads, shame the vag mk1 didn't run

looks bloody brilliant, just tidy up front end with RS grill and perhaps splitter and your done :)

as above, for cheapness and looking okay and not worrying about ripping it off due to low car the skoda splitter is the best way forward :)

beautiful, and cracking location for the pics :)

your such a homer Davey, what the hell is that thing? is the clio parked inside its ample arse? ;)

Yesterday my car broke, so i swore alot and got grumpy and basically stropped about finally figured it was injector down, swapped one out of the old 172 into the car and..... sorted! i was intending on taking the car out for a few photos after a clean but spent most of the day sorting that...

Fair play Ellen, i was just intrigued about the methods was all, is there no way a scuttle type induction will fit on the mk 2's? tbh i've not really though about it on the one i have but most of the mk1 boys use the scuttle to get clean cold air into the lump and keep the outside looking o/e :)

i use them for track rims, got slicks on mine, but a mint set with no marks, proper lip, caps and decent matching tyres should see 400

as above, i just swapped them about and looked for the fault jumping to the pot with the suspect injector, which it did, so swapped it out for a good one

dont understand why you are struggling so much on inlet temps, its not a highly tuned car??? and how do you know its that? is there an inlet temp sensor plumbed up? my reasoning being that a fibreglass bonnet with a vent in it would need to be done very tastefully to not basically ruin the car...

injector down, fixed :)

Right, thought i had sorted my issue but it ran fine for about 60 miles and its died again symptoms are it runs like a bag of spanners on idle, if you hold throttle at lowish revs it hunts a bit and feels hesitant but floor it and it seems to pull well and smoothly? so far i have (all to no...

i went to renault, she said there was nothing on the car outstanding and would'nt change it, guessing that means its been done? :)

Re: Best clio sport blue opinions if you do the belt as well couple of grand perhaps

why? they pointlessly flapping about being useless in the barge of slow?

Gray - i know, i feel a fool for not thinking of it sooner, it ran fine after the cleaning operation but few days later it was like this, probably due to being left for a bit, ah well, alls well that ends well and least i found out about spark plugs and feel better for knowing i've checked...

i <3 yozza'd 182's :) lovely work

Re: Best clio sport blue opinions to sell on, keep it o/e and respray it monaco for your own use, alien green could look trick or LY as a favourite best blue is obviously Racing, but a 172 is not worth of it ;) rofl!

cheers Craig ai the plates will be being replaced with clean and simple pressed jobs like i run on the mk1, much cleaner, just not got round to sorting them yet as toying with getting a personal plate for it so that can wait :-) its currently rolling on the black superlegs but i do have white...

as above, sometimes you can get them out if theres enough of a gap, but for the sake of 10 mins removing the wheel, its not worth breaking the cap or damaging the wheel risking it imo

totally normal, my mk 1 on the F7 lump does the same, in fact all my mk1's have, 16v and williams slight hiccup in the idle. the 172 and the 182 have both been the same

19-10-2012 First day using the car for work etc...........and it goes belly up!lol! spent the morning commute kangarooing and spluttering down the road at 40mph, very annoying! got to work and left it till lunch. did a bit of geeking and pulled up the CTS as likely cause so i took a half day...

i want to remove them from the car, but how have people stopped the pipes pissing washer fluid out? screw up the end or something less pikie? cheers Ben

as above, if its front and to the side right under the fog light its the arch liner, can normally source them second hand for 30 quid or so

if a belt is in the car they must be able to test it, without the seats they cant so yes you have to remove it :)

as above, either repair it and stick it on the rear and take a spare wheel to get you home if it does give out or get two matching budgets sorted for the rear of the car and have a bit of tail happy fun sunday

sorry I missed this people, ended up tied up on a support call out so didn't get home till 8 ish :( i'll make a concerted effort make the next one!
