My Williams has been off the road for a few months and foolishly left under a tree. I spent hours washing the car this afternoon getting all the sticky dust off, but the paintwork on the bonnet looks messed up, no matter how much I wash it. I can't get a very good photo of it but it looks...

I've been experiencing increasing problems with my battery, starting with a red battery light on dashboard but eventually ending up with battery dying out while driving. It may come down to a number of things including alternator and tired battery, but I want to eliminate the possibility of...

Stupid I know, but I think I ran out of fuel. From stationary, the car wouldn't consider turning over, no sound at all when turning the key. Have put in another 3 litres of petrol but still nothing. After Googling, it appears some cars have an automatic cut off if the fuel gets too low...

Is there any such thing as a rollcage that wouldn't require any alterations or leave any marks on my near mint Willy 3 should I later want to take it out? I see that you can get bolt-in or weld-in. Does that mean that the bolts or welding has to be done to the car body too or just within the...

Can any1 tell me for certain whether all phases of Mk1, Mk1 RSI and Williams bonnets are interchangable? Thanks!

Does anyone know how much it would cost to fit a 172 engine in my Clio mk1 and anyone here who would do it? I can provide the engine.

There's loads of discussion on CS about whether to lower 40 or 60mm, but many don't seem to take wheel size into consideration. I have a Clio mk1 with 15" Wolfraces with the thicker style tyres and am wondering how much to lower by. As the wheels are only an inch bigger than standard, they...

A brake light has gone so I want to order a new one from eBay. Are these a standard size used in other cars too? What should I be looking for (keywords etc)? The last time I got the right size but the wrong type which made a light come on my dashboard. Presumedly I need a clear one as the casing...

Any ideas what this means?

Clio mkI was broken into last night and to add insult to injury they smashed 2 windows - main windscreen and drivers window... and they're not covered on my TPF&T insurance : ( How much is it gonna cost? I phoned Autoglass and it was about £450! I'm thinking it would be cheaper to get the...

I understand Eibach are considered to make the best springs, but which brand of dampers would go best with them on a mk1? Thanks Also, if there's an option should I go for standard or low type damper with the Sportlines?

I've fitted some 15" alloys to replace the 13" standard wheels on my mk1. Recommended pressure on standard wheels is 30 front, 34 rear. But is 30/34 on standard wheels the same as 30/34 on bigger alloys? If not, how do I know which tyre pressures to use?

Finished today! Toad AI606 alarm Three remotes Central locking complete install, 2 doors Remote boot release Shock sensor Tilt sensor Dual microwave / proximity sensor Flashing horn and headlight on activation Coming home lights ======== £400 fitted

The quotes are exactly the same whether I have a Thathcam 1 or not! :eek: It just makes me think that they believe that I will be worse off claiming for my car if it gets nicked, and that they are just covering their backs incase I drive into a Jag. :dapprove: :(

Need quick answers. Should I call the fitter back before he loses interest or not? ~I've just had a Toad alarm system installed and am happy with most of it, but it seems to take a lot to trigger the alarm. The alarm includes a 'dual shock sensor', but I can bounce on the bonnet or boot until...

Clio mk1. I've cut the black foam knob off with a penknife and a yellowing piece of plastic sits on top. Does a new gearknob sit on this, or do I have to remove it to? If I have to remove the plastic bit, how do I do it without 'king up the gears?! I understand they're superglued on?

I've been told that this is not good practice, but if using heavyweight axle stands all over, I can't see how its any worse than relying on a pair of wheels not rolling away.

Anyone know? I have 15" Eurosports Octanes.

I can't find a bad report about H&R, but K-Tecs Ultimates are half the price from a company that usually sells quality stuff. A good compromise to save £100s for other mods? http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1049

If I installed a Cobra tilt alarm on an pro installed Cat 1 Toad system (just a coupleof wires to an input), would it invalidate my insurance? :nono:

I want to change to a leather gaitor. Do the knobs twist / pull off?

Anyone know if the AI606 comes with any visual deterents? Eg stickers, flashing LEDs etc.

Some of the add-ons I'm looking at are described as '2 stage'. What does this mean?

I realise that the general advice is to have an alarm system installed by an expert, but is it easy enough to add your own upgrades like proximity sensors and tilt sensors? Is it just a case of securing the upgrade in the appropriate part of the car and running a couple of wires to an 'input...

Is it possible / how easy is it to do this? I'm buying a Toad Ai606 alarm and want the installer to make it so that I can open / close all doors with the Toad remote. What do I need to buy & install before ordering the alarm / fitting? I have a mk1.2, if that makes any difference.

Even though its an old car its starting to look very nickable without an alarm as I add more and more mods. Can an immobiliser be fitted? Is it true that most aftermarket immobilisers on old cars are a waste of time because the ignition can just be pulled out and the wires hot-wired in some way?

* admin please leave in general forum for a few hours if possible. Need help urgently for MOT retest please! It would be a shame to lose a days wage if I can't sort this problem in time. Fast running out of time to order parts / get them fitted. I failed on: a) Rear foglight does not come...
