My MOT centre shrugged and said "bring it in and we will find out...." Thanks pal I think it needs to be caged with harnesses minimum as they replace the airbag, bonus points if it's stripped as nobody sane does that to a road car

Box sections under the car about a foot in from the front sills behind the subframe plates, I use a piece of wood on the jack. I have seen people jack up using the subframe directly but some have experienced bending. Lifting the back can be done from the rear beam as @Matt Cup suggests

Helicoil the helicoil

15 seconds of ugga-duggas should sort it out

I have a metal elbow, not an RS2 inlet, but use the 120mm PRORAM cylindrical filter It's thin enough to get in and out without removing the battery (just)

As long as its 4x100 60.1mm bore with the same rolling radius it will be fine (probably 195/55/15, loads of online calculators online to check). Probably best looking for a 15" alloy or steel wheel from a non-RS, or get like-for-like as @Advikaz suggests.

Best thing to do, ECU is mounted on the back of the rocker that will need changing, and the TB wiring is integrated into the thick rocker loom Spiteful piece of french engineering

Do you love the car? Pay for the work Want to try something new? Somebody on here will snap it up It's a sort of lose-lose situation, either you pay for the work to up the car value or the value drops significantly because it needs so much work As @daveski says the maintenance is nothing out...

I find it hard to be at meets that early unless I have plans afterwards for the day. If I can make it to one will turn up earlier then - might get better as it gets warmer into the year 🤞

Not mine but I live near, never heard of Slip and Grip until now. What time do they start and when did you arrive out of interest?

300 looks great but as mentioned 280 would make life easier. I have 3mm between calliper and wheel and stuck using 16's. I bought the car with, but if I was doing it again I would go 280 for greater wheel selection.

That gap in the top mount is normal. Go solid top mounts plus BCs if you are worried

My understanding is these engines are quite sensitive to timing, I personally wouldn't risk it as it will be wrong for years after the fact. Not seen any 'good' reviews over the years on being on the forum but happy to be told otherwise

I find this quite important when I get my belts done

It could be: Blocked drains, rubber seal between car and glass or the silicone seal between the sunroof mount and the car. Take the sunroof glass out and pour some water into the drains either side and see if the water drops out behind the front wheel. If the water is draining then it is most...

Are you leveling the lights with the engine on? I don't think the lights level/save position correctly if not Also is the arm the adjuster connects too in one piece? Edit: ignore the last bit, if it wasn't it would have have come out with it

Hi, is this still available?

JMRS make replacement strips

26mm IIRC (lots of 25-28mm on ebay)

Look forward to seeing this on track

https://cliosport.net/threads/best-coolant-hose-clips.847311/#post-12451374 (Best measure your own to be sure) From what I have read the pipes going into the bulkhead for the heater core are the worst. You should be able to push the two clips either side of the joiner and pull but a lot of...

Circlip removed - bushing is definitely above the groove. Gave it a good brake clean and reinserted. Tested it with a 150 mile roundtrip; a night and day difference. It's removed the little hesitation I had when shifting in higher revs. Alongside the quickshift 3.0 there is no gearstick...

*Might even be dirt in the groove I didn't quite get

No I'm not tbh, its on my list of things to have a look at before going back on the road. I was going to screwdriver and hammer it a little bit to see if it will pop in more... As much as I hate getting it in and out its probably worth double checking there is no debris blocking it

Been enjoying the car the last couple of weeks. Booked in for my first trackday 5th of September at Castle Combe. Look forward to meeting a few members from here and putting the car through its paces. Going to be a lot of learning between now and then, but it gave me the kick up the ass to...

Windscreen come out? Maybe related to rain sensor

.

Surprised nobody's mentioned this but a 172 with aircon is always an option

Could that part have been replaced from a scenic or something? (not original)
