Cool, just needed a little twist and pull in the end, got my hand down to the connector like you said and hey presto.

rain almost stopped - do I just yank the air feed pipe as above.

Rain has stopped play ...booo. got as far as removing the standard airbox. Im at the stage of trying to get the pipe out that goes down to the acoustic valve too. the one next to the headlight. Do i really just yank it? , it wont damage the headlight wiring will it?

forgot to say if you need to stretch the filter hole a little you could use the bottom of a glass or cup. I have left mine stretching a little, hopefully when i get back it will be ready to slide in.

Im pretty sure ive seen cold air feeds going from the fog light hole , would probably guess the same diameter as the fog light hole.

Mine arrived. Havent had a chance yet to try it as im still at work. I did try to fit the pipe into the filter and yes it is a bit tight. I got it on without problems though. probably wont be able to do this in situ in the engine bay but it you hold the pipe at 45' to the filter and jiggle it...

Im wanting to refurb some Turini wheels I have and at the same time get some decals put on. It would make sense to put the decals under the clearcoat. Problem is the wheels get baked at 180'c at the end to harden them. Would a decal be OK with this ? its a black decal so the heat wont change...

As above could be one of a number of things, one thing you could test is the coil pack. have the car running and then using preferably plastic plyers remove one HT lead from the coilpack, you should be seeing sparks, repeat for each ht lead and you might find 3 spark and one doesnt. Dont...

Heard good thing about this spoiler, go for it.

Cant seem to find these, need to get some too. Looks like the deal might be over. Just checked what GRNX means and it Green X which is some ECO thing supposedly they last longer ...

@Toby. The corskscrew is on the map below. The approach to the round about is down a hill and the roundabout is also undulating. You can take this roundabout at speed as as long as you are careful. red arrow. try it !

Sold my 172 on 156k and that was still being run a good few years after that. Nothing wrong with it at all, all original clutch gearbox engine etc. @adalis I think I saw you on the M40 southbound on sunday just gone. I was in the black 182 that went passed.

Wow, a lot of nice stuff on your car. Must feel good that you got the suspension, brakes, wheels and tyres done in one go.

Dont know what it is about Black 172/182's they just look so right.

Ive had a few Clios over the years so thought I would share a few. First up is my first 172 MK2 RF51YDR . Bought this back in 2003 with 27K miles. Loved this car, was a rapid little thing. Ran this for years and only sold it when it hit 156K. Would love to buy this one back and restore it but I...

Thats good they come pre oiled and ready to use, saves me buying oil. Will buy the ITG oil you suggested come cleaning time, although to be honest I might just bin it and buy a new filter as cleaning foam filters and reoiling is a ball ache

Yes from me! Never been to any meets before which is shameful as I have been a member for so long. I only live 2 minutes down the road so would be rude not to come. Can show you the Frieze Way drag strip and the Kidlington Laguna Seca corkscrew road lol.

Dont stick it on top of the demister copper line, some dip s**t did that on my previous car and years later when i tried to remove it, it pulled the demister line with it.

cracked exhaust manifold possibly- wait till its cooled then give each of the 4 metal tubes a knock and listen for changes in sound.

@The Fatty - did the filter come oiled?

Just ordered this set up myself, thanks The Fatty. 4 of the elbows and 4 of the filters have sold in the last hour ! must all the from this thread.

@Sargara can you post a link here to your car on ebay

Can you link to the vid please

My wheel is exactly the same. black on my hands too.

Was looking at car waxes and thought that Auto Finesse Illusion looked pretty expensive for what it was (£75 for 200ml). Obviously there are some obscenely expensive waxes too like the Xymol that comes in the glass case or whatever it is. Now on the Autofinesse website it lists some of the...

Man, missed out, only saw it today. Any chance you still have this deal going?

Now that is where its at ! well inpressed with that, all the little touches too like shiny new nuts and bolts. very very tidy ! So wish mine looked like that

looks great! whats up with the black peeling on the middle pillar on the passenger side.

Your car looks fantastic. Just one thing, your spoiler doesnt look like its fitting very well. Ive got the same problem, Ive got a feeling there is more than one type of cup spoiler if that makes sense. Think the 182 cup and 172 cup ones are different or something.
