    P0300 Misfire.....Here we go again!

    I'll test that tomorrow and report back. Thanks guys. Was about to start throwing parts at it 😂

    P0300 Misfire.....Here we go again!

    Well that's reassuring. I've got 8 injectors (4 off the car on a spare rail). Think its worth switching one or two around? Should I soak or clean them before trying?

    P0300 Misfire.....Here we go again!

    Hi all, I know this topic has been covered again and again but I hope to cover this issue in a little more detail than the others....with your help! I've got the usual flashing engine management light at idle and now whilst driving. The main culprits are Injectors, Coil Pack or HT Leads...

    Heavy steering Clio 172 Cup

    Haha. I'll buy it for £5 and a packet of crisps. Believe me, the switch is the easiest thing you'll replace. Its located down by your dip stick / oil filter area. Unplug it from its sensor and then just screw the new one on. Done!

    As I said above, the pump will let you know if it's on it's way out or low on fluid. They tend to scream in my experience. I would be ordering a new power switch before anything else. The switch I ordered was £28. Which is relatively small compared to a new pump I'd imagine!

    That was my recommendation. Clios seem to eat them for breakfast!

    It's probably fine. But, as always, if in doubt get someone to check it at a garage

    IN that case, its either in your head lol or tyre pressure might be low?

    Rear Discs and Pads

    As above, these cars have very little rear brake usage. Just stay with OEM (or whatever is cheapest tbh) as they contribute very little to the braking performance

    This is another good point. On my old 182, I had 4 new tyres and then geo done and good lord it was night and day. I remember wondering what the hell they had done to make it so good! The new 182 is yet to be treated to such an experience...

    When I used to run that set up, I think I used to ruin 34 psi in the front and 32 in the back to give it a little more stick in the corner. That being said, "best pressure" is the most subjective thing ever!!

    Will do. Unlikely to be using it for a little while as my detailing spot is occupied! The reviews all seem to be good tbh, even outside of the EZ circle jerk

    Not tried it yet. Well reviewed on the EZ fb page but there is a lot of ass kissing in the hope of free stuff on there. Value for money it cant be beaten. Yesterday when I looked a bottle of AF Iron Out was £13 ex del for 500ml. So its 5x better value in that example

    Just for the record lads and ladies: EZ had 5L of fallout for £25 delivered. Fill your boots.

    One other thing that's just popped into my head is tyre pressure levels. My car always feels so different when the tyres are at the incorrect pressure. It feels unwilling to move direction almost. When the pressure is spot on, its mega darty. I know that's a wierd one but worth a shot!

    Heavy steering Clio 172 Cup

    No drama. My knowledge is basic too but I've had a good few fiddles with these cars by now. As far as I remember, you have to unscrew the lid and there will be a dipstick like thing on the end of the cap. That will indicate the level of the fluid. One thing to note: DO NOT get the liquid on your...

    Heavy steering Clio 172 Cup

    In my experience, if the power steering pump is on it's way out, it will let you know about it! They squeal! Unlikely to be that. As you've said though, worth checking the reservoir. Also, worth checking the power steering pressure switch as they're known for going. Can be a spot for leaking...

    Still cant get my head around this. How is it that 1 product is for making trim more black and the other is for a layer of last wax like protection?? Marketed differently but theyre the same product I can get my head around but I just dont get how its such a versatile liquid?

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    Where are you finding these gems from? All the ones I have found are silly money for the spec or are total lease spec povo. £13k for that spec, from what ive been able to find, is amazing value.

    Now it's coming into winter and more road grime etc, I always mix a bit of APC in. Really helps the cleaning power

    That would make sense! In that case, any recommendations on a all in 1 tar and fallout? Or separate?
