After selling the Clio I got a Peugeot 106 diesel more so to save a bit of cash as my work miles each day is 62 miles .
The little car is great and is so good on fuel if it is a tad slow with its 58 BHP :)
My plan was to run this for the rest of the year and then either sell it and get...

Driving home last night and the temp needle was above half way . Started going near the red so stopped and looked under the bonnet and all the coolant had gone .
Tried to fill the bottle up but it just comes straight back out ( looks like it must be leaking from under the battery ) and is all...
I have a loud hum at about 2K rpm .
Sounds like it is coming from the rear and have jacked the car up and spun the wheel and there is a metal on metal sound when you spin the wheel but no wobble if you pull the wheel .
Checked the front and it does make the same sort of noise but not as much...
Just got the last one of x 2 left .
I take it this is quit easy to install .
After reading the posts on them it looks like a good mod to do for around £ 200 all in .

Iv had the juddering and stalling under power @ 1.5 - 2 K RPM and thought this was down to an Lambda sensor that I changed at the weekend .
This has not fixed the problem ( the car runs better mind ) so im thinking it will most likely be a coil pack that is giving up the ghost .
Does this...
Has any one got them as they are a good price on Eurocarparts with the discount code .
Was looking at the prolines but at this price might look at them .
Do they give a hard ride as I do not want this .

Just looking at the S/H on my car and the cam belt was last done on the 24/08/2008 @ 70,000 miles .
Its only done 30K on the new belt but has been on for just under 5 years .
What do people think as I know its due to be changed every 5 years . Do people keep to this or just the miles on the...
My Clio 172 Ph2 has just started jumping and not revving all that well at times and I’m thinking it’s the Lambda as this happened on my old PH1 172 a few years ago and felt the same .
Is this more than likely the course or could it be coil pack .
The car has done 105,000 miles and I have no...
I have read afew posts on the RS tuner but still have a few questions ,
From what I have read the unit levels out the power and gives a bit more torquelower in the rev range .
Most people seem to say it is a good mod but what is the overall advantage ofthis unit as it will not add BHP or...
Iv just taken off the inlet manifold and changed plugs and removed the acustic valve .
