Hi, my clio is long sold but I found some unused tie rods at the back of the shed. There are three in total, I think one is for a 172 cup, and two are a matching pair I think from when I fitted a manual rack from a 1.2/1.4/1.6 I can't move the ends by hand so they should be good. Just looking...

Hi, my little sister has a Ford Ka and it's running a bit rough, akin to a missing cylinder. I confirmed this (or so I thought) when I pulled one of the HT leads off and the metal connector that should be inside the ht lead was still connected to the top of the spark plug. I forced the ht lead...

the money pit and steering problems have gone! sad to see it go- the amount of blood, sweat and tears put into it. sold it with problems in the end for £1400, which is what i asked for it. that doesn't even cover the amount spent in parts mind, let alone the £2k i paid for it 18 months ago...

no it's not being driven in case you're wondering :rasp: i swapped insurance to my new car so the clio has been uninsured for a week. it's off the road and it's got tax. i know that doesn't matter anymore, but i'm trying to sell it and want to keep the tax on it for as long as i can. how long...

i'm debating breaking my 172 cup and tried to guesstimate what stuff would go for. are these close to ball-park? Jms inlets 100 Ktec flush cat back 150 solid top mounts 80 pro race 1.2's 16" 180 bumper + grills 175 wishbones...

i've got an iomega prestige hdd that's gone a bit noisy. i don't know if it's been banged about or if it was because i put the wrong power adaptor into it. (right voltage, wrong amps.) i can read data off it but it's very very slow. i've backed up the important stuff. i'm not fussed about losing...

they are spec'd exactly the same, wondered if anyone had one of these and what they thought?

i've got a phase 1 airbox with the race filter but I dont fancy having to clean it every month. i wondered how much the race filter differed from road, or even oem paper filter. any noticeable change in performance? i wouldn't expect to see much difference between filters, but i recently put my...

i have very slight play in my not very old solid top mounts. we're talking half a mm if that. the play is between the spherical bearing and the mount itself. it this normal or should they be absolutely solid? they're these ones: http://www.pure-motorsport.co.uk/details.php?itemid=143

i've got these shocks on my car and trying to find out what model they're from. nothing on google at all

the camber is -1.5 degrees on both sides. it does have solid top mounts but these are non-adjustable and hold the strut in the middle of the mount. the joints are relatively new, as are wishbone bushes. only other thing i could think of was the struts doing something funny. it's not lowered...

I've considered getting a recording device in the past for my journeys to work and after a near head-on with an X5 a couple of weeks ago I bought one that evening. I got this one from 7dayshop for £27 So from hear on in I'll be posting a short video clip of any tw*tty drivers that I come...

i know you have to grease the fork, but has anyone done this? looks a nightmare trying to spray white grease in the hole without coating the clutch

Until this morning I was willing to persevere with my Clio and get it fixed up and perfect no matter what it cost, but having been out there this morning I've suddenly lost interest. I missed a gear change the other day and its loosened something inside the gearbox. Its only a little play and...

something somebody said... i've got a steering issue on my car that goes away whenever you work on it (ie tighten strut bolts, fit new top mounts) but returns after about 10 miles or so. before you tighten anything in this area should you preload the car first?

hi, i missed a 3rd to 4th the other day (at high revs, slight grind, nothing out of the ordinary) and since then the gearstick has a bit of play in it when in gear. gear change doesnt feel any different, just the play in the gearstick when in gear. what part have i likely bolx'd? edit: are the...

just filling out my insurance proposal forms for new policy. stuck on the estimated value bit. do i go with flat market value, or do i add on a sum to cover the cost of replacing modifications? mods are declared. thanks

on left and right front carriers the top slider can be wiggled about in the hole whereas the bottom one is quite firm in its hole. this normal, or worn?

bit vague, but can anyone make a couple of metal rings? how much would this sort of thing cost? thickness = 1mm. holes are to fit M8 bolts, i can confirm distance between bolts later. it's to go around the top of the bodywork on my solid top mounts. like what the strut brace does in this...

i thought only fatties had this problem due to the airbags in the seats, but i've obviously got the poverty spec ...?

well, i have some questions, but rather than ask i'll just list my observations and you tell me if it's standard practice while the ecu learns its stuff :) 1. it stuttered a few times at low revs (<2k rpm) even when warm. 2. after driving around for 10 minutes i tried a performance run and it...

hi, i've borrowed a laptop running vista and the driver won't install. the driver won't install automatically so i've attempted manually and after locating the driver and clicking next i get: Windows encountered a problem installing the driver software to your device. Windows found driver...

Is this normal on a cup? Sent from my ZTE-BLADE using Tapatalk

any good solutions other than don't drive or don't park near anything? :rasp: i work for dhl and in the morning the car park becomes a bit of a loading bay, i seem to be picking up dings at a rapid pace. other than parking elsewhere, what can i do? 1. i thought about motion activated cameras...

i've just got the one standard built-in-graphics vga slot on my pc. it's a work pc so doesn't have to run video or games, just email on one screen for example, and office on another. can i use a dual vga splitter cable? or do i need a graphics card with two vga slots? i've got about four...

going by the pics it doesn't look too bad. the gap on the rear arches is uneven, but considering there's a 172 underneath for £1300. sexy track car? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2001-RENAULT-SPORT-CLIO-16V-SILVER-172-v6-replica-/160611781093?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item25653549e5#ht_1022wt_1185
