Used to unlock and start fine.
then all of a sudden, it is completely dead,
nothing at all.
Bumped it and left it on for a few minutes,
park it on my drive and leave it for a week or so,
go to start it again, completely dead again, not even enough charge to unlock it!
so i put it on...
I need the bolt that connects the hub to the ball joint,
i rounded both off when fitting new hubs so i stole them off my spare clio,
but not i want the spare one working so i need to get them.
Where is the best place to get them from??
do places such as autocare and euro sell the bolts on...
i want to see how far my coilovers are from the bump stops,
however its quite low and the bumpstops are all the way up inside the chassis, and obviously the wheel is in the way,
jacking the car up means the suspension isn't carrying the weight of the car!
can i take the wheel off, and slowly...
Finally on coilovers,
Maybe a bit too low for some peoples tastes, but I love it!
and believe it or not, only the splitter catches the floor, no tyre scrubbage either! win!
Bearing in mind one wheel is in the gutter!
And a couple more,
Plans are to get some silvervisions and...
tips on getting the track rod end off the hub, all it seems to do when i undo it, is spin the bolt on the ball joint.
I and not actually unscrew,
probs because the thread on the end is abit rusty.
how are you meant to get the nut off without using an impact gun??
thanks
Didnt want to pay so much money buying Vmaxx coilovers for my car, since its only a 1.2, i wast wanted to go looww,
i set about converting my car to the 58mm hubs,
needed,
hubs
callipers
pads
discs
COILOVERS!
heres a pic of everything i collected!
Rokkor coilovers (£168)
Callipers...
Has anyone got any good tips on how to remove the hub from the ball joint,
im having a hard time doing it, i can get the nut off,
but the bolt seems well and truley in there :(
any hints would be grand!
When i brake hard, the rear brakes lock up long before the fronts.
The fronts are only half on and the rears will lock up, causing the back to become very unstable under hard braking.
ive had to remove what looks like a load bearing valve from the back because of the lowness, and the rears...
These used to be an event on the social calender a few years ago,
they were on bank holiday monday, always meet up at lakeside (thurrok) services around 7pm, and move on from there
used to be a mental turnout! some really nice cars sometimes too, among the seats of bodykits and chavs.
does...
i have 52mm bolt spacing on my hub,
if i bought a set of coilovers with a bolt spacing of 58mm,
is there any reason why i couldnt mill the bottom hole 6mm toward the top one, then perhaps weld a washer over it to stop it moving,
if the bolts are done up tight, and the top bolt is still...
Are they interchangable??
say if i wanted to put some 16v hubs on a 1.2 8v is there anything stopping me??
other than the obvious fact that the shock bolts wont meet up, thats not an issue in this case.
doing it to give me more choise in second hand coilovers, and bigger brakes would be...
i need to replace the bushes on my clio,
its a 2001(X) mk2 ph1 1.2 rn
but everywhere seems to offer,
outer anti roll bar, 22mm or 23mm
inner anti roll bar, 23mm or 25mm
and it seems theres a universal one for wishbones,
can anyone advise me please!
thanks
Sunflower ph1 172 spotted down southend seafront tonight,
had a sticker with joshwa on the window.
looked pure sex tbh,
also saw other cars saying R.I.P josh172?
not sure if the two are linked but it seemed odd.
Took a long drive yday, and now when traveling at slow speed, it clunks.
It happens going over big bumps (speed humps), but also when changing gear, seems a lot of resistance when sliding from first to second (didnt try any othe gears) anything anyone can suggest?
Cheers

it says in the advert, clio 1 (52mm spacing)
want to know if they will fit a mk2 ph1 grande, (again 52mm bolt spacing)
not really too sure how much it differs from mk1 to mk2.
cheers.
A 1.2 8v mk2 ph1 clio RN Grande.
i tried to measure, but got confused if i was meant to measure from the centre of each hole, or by the closest edge.
so if anyone could advise,
it would greatly help.
For the south easters that are planning on attending FSC (everyone hopefully)

Have to fix a bent driveshaft on a 1.2 8v 2000 plate clio,
but looking on the bay for a rough idea on second hand prices,
i seem to have come across two different driveshaft, one has a straight end,
and the other.......well........doesn't.
ive included links to the two different ones,
any...
i have an old 1.2 ph1 clio,
has 92k on the clock,
bodyworks very good condition,
engine runs very well too,
However!
its had a knock on the front n/s wheels,
driveshaft is bent,
shock absorber is abit bent too,
so doesnt drive too well
theres no spring in the ignition barrel,
the central...
As above,
turn the ignition on,
turn the key to run the starter motor, and theres no spring,
no resistance as you turn the key, and key will stop where ever you let it go,
you have to physically turn it back to turn the starter motor off!
any suggestions??
please help,
question as above,
press the button on the fob, and only driver and boot unlock. You have to lock it and unlock it by the key??
could this be a simple corroded wire? or is there any other common problems it could be??
help would be hot!
cheers.
