You want something which is designed to remove industrial fall-out. I think Autosmart do a product which is indeed called Fallout Remover. See here - http://www.autosmart.co.uk/Exterior%20Cleaners.html

Each coil pack fires a pair of cylinders, 1+4 and 2+3, so try changing so the left hand coil pack is firing 2+3, and the other 1+4.

They're supposed to have either a sticker or laser printing with the product code but my bottles have neither!!

I have recently bought 2x250ml bottles of Menzerna polishes which i have received today and am a little confused as to which is which. I ordered a bottle of PO203S and PO85RE5. One bottle contains a white polish and says Power Finish on the side and the bar code is 4 260063 010156 and to the...

Kestrel polisher pad/polish help Was thinking of treating myself to one of these Kestrel DAS-6 but am unsure as to which polishes and pads i should also get to suit my 197. The paintwork is in really good condition anyway so it doesn't really need that much in the way of correction. I was...

28mpg!! That my friend would be nice!! I dont get that driving sensibly!! More like 23-24mpg is normal.

It's the resistor pack thats at fault, that effectively alters the speeds by altering the voltage fed to the heater blower motor. The reason it works only in position 4 is that there is a direct 12v feed from supply to heater motor, ie no resistors to pass through.

Sounds like the flap/valve in the heater box isn't working so it cant direct cold air into the heater ducts. The flap is stuck in the hot position therefore channeling hot air all the time. Not sure if the flap is cable controlled or electronically, but i would have a look at that first.

No, the ball joints are the joints which connect the hub assembly to the wishbone. The track rod ends are connected to the tie-rods which are in turn connected to the steering rack.

As said, its a piece of pish to fit some rear speakers, the plugs are there for you to connect up to some 13cm speakers.

Easy enough to do but CV grease is horrible stuff. I wouldn't leave it too long before getting it done - wet roads + grit and crap off said roads = grinding paste leading to knacked CV joint!!

I know, i wanted one but was told they weren't available yet. By the time they start selling them your car will be stonechipped to f**k!! I got a mate who's a sprayer to mix me some up with his mixing scheme, now i have a little pot of paint to touch up with!!

Yes, the width between the front edge of the front wheels will be greater than the width at the rear edge. http://www.kwik-fit.com/assets/jpg/graphics/wheel-alignment.jpg

Lowering will make a difference to the front wheel alignment, it will make it toe-out more, regardless if your lowering 10mm or 100mm.

It will induce more toe-out and a little more negative camber.

I've also received this with my EVO subscription, is it any good and whats the best way to use it??

The best i've seen recently is 26mpg according to the trip computer, but its more like 24.8 - 25 most of the time. Absolutely crap. My girlfriends Polo TDi Sport 100 breezes 50mpg daily!!

I think mine suffers with this too. Would you say its like theres no rubber in the front suspension/steering and feels harsh when you go round a corner under a bit of power?? See here - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?t=446366

Does it feel as though there's no rubber at all in the suspension?? (If that makes sense) Mine feels quite harsh if your turning left and accelerating on a bit of crappy road.

Thats why i asked as i thought they were F4R, yet has F4A stamped on the rear of the block!!

Thanks, thats what i thought it was.

Whats the correct engine code for a 2008 197?? Is it F4R?? I have seen this number followed by 730 etc on here and was just wondering what the correct designation was for the 197. Thanks.

Reverse light switch.

I have seen a flexible brake hose that was deteoriating on the inside and therefore restricting fluid flow which made the brakes massively unbalanced.

Oh, and another thing i did, not connected to the knocking noise, was to enlarge the holes in the leading edge of the underside of the diffuser. The larger holes now let gravel and suchlike fall out rather than collecting in the diffuser.

My 197 had this knocking noise, only really noticeable when the car was cold and at low speeds. I checked out all the exhaust mountings because i'm convinced these were the culprits. I lubricated the rear silencer rubber mountings after removing the diffuser, but this had no effect. I then...

I've read the cut off date is March too. Been informed not required on mine as first registered in May 08. Is there any way of determining the build date, from the chassis number for example??
