Went to take the clio for its MOT and it wouldn't start. The last time i drove it was a week ago. Engine turns over fine but it just wont fire. Am I right in thinking its probably the TDC sensor? I there an easy way to tell if it is this before spending £60 on a new one? Thanks

My steering rack has developed some play in it and its causing a slight knock around wheel centre. It's been on some ramps today so we are pretty sure its the rack. My question is can the pinion be adjusted to take up any slack. According to a manual I have the SMI rack has an adjustment nut...

Girlfriends dad has a Clarke CP180 which he's hardly ever used. I was hoping it would be good enough for minor correction etc? If it is what backing plates, pads and polish would people recommend I get to start with? Car is Iceberg silver and I would also like to use the polisher to revive...

When cornering hard in either direction I get a creaking noise from the drivers footwell. It can't be the trackrods the track rod ends or ARB bushes as they have been replaced. Any ideas what it could be?

Car has done this a few times lately. When I first get in and start the car it fires first time BUT the revs normally drop right off and it stalls. Then the second time it starts perfectly. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Saw you this morning. I did beep my horn but you seemed to be in a world of your own!

See this car every morning. Looks in great condition. Anyone on here?

This is really starting to annoy me. I'm starting to think its the Pioneer headunit I've got. If anybody with good car audio knowledge could help that would be great. To start off the static noise is not there when listening to MP3's via the USB port. When I switch to radio I can find...

Renault are saying the ICV pipe for a PH1 is not on there system can anyone get me the part number?

Has started doing this today and I'm pretty sure its the ICV but want to check if it could be anything else first! Car returns to idle so quickly that it almost stalls but then picks itself up again. If if braking for traffic with the aircon on when I dip the clutch to come to a stop the revs...

Might get round to replacing these this weekend. Just wanted to know any tips on how to fit them apart from allot of swearing!? 1) Should I do the inners with the outers still fitted? 2) Should I remove all 4 then fit the middles then the outers? 3) Should I do one side at a time? cheers

I know i've seen on here somewhere some pictures of when someone moved the battery to the front of the engine bay so that they could run a filter straight off the T/B without having to run additional battery cable. I've been looking for it for about 3 hours now has anyone got it saved or know...

Followed you into Newbury this morning was definitely someone on here as there was a CS sticker in the back window.

I've noticed a a steady decrease in fuel economy so I'm expecting the lambda sensor. Last time I checked both sensors, the pre-cat one was quite carbed up and the after cat looked almost new. So ive got a few questions: 1)Should I just buy a new sensor and be done with it?! 2)Is it ok to...

I know someone who runs a Jetex decibel reducing insert on his TVR at trackdays and it make a noticeable difference. Would it be a cheap way of reducing exhaust boom on the Clio? Don't really want it to effect performance though.

As title. My stealth seems to be getting louder and droning more when under load. Its getting to the point where I don't want to take anyone in the car as it embarrassing. Its covered about 40k now and I did notice a few weeks ago that there was some wire wool type sound dampening hanging...

Whilst driving up my lane my coolant temperature rocketed and the stop light come on. I turned the engine off immediately and the temp gauge didn't get to the top. Popped the bonnet and all the coolant had gone. It was getting dark so couldn't tell where it was coming from. Towed car the...

As title. Had the lowest hanging exhaust i've ever seen!!

I've got a very slight steering wobble above 70 which increase with speed. TBH unless I'm thinking about it I don't notice it, so its not that bad. At 100 its more noticeable. I've had new track rods and track rod ends and the tracking done so I'm pretty sure none of that is the cause. I now...

I got a new aerial kit from Renault today and the base is circular instead of the oblong shape the original one is. Is this because I've been given the wrong kit or because Renault have changed the design?

Part number: 7701388234c it should be an aerial kit. However what i'm interested in is what year of Clio it will fit? Cheers

Am changing my track rods this weekend and have just read about a locking washer that goes between the rod and the rack. How important is it that these are replaced?

Need to remove my track rods this weekend whilst the rack is on the car. Are there any good tools for the job? Also doing the lower ball joint so what tool do I need for that? Cheers

Car has developed an odd problem. When the car hasn't been driven for a while the steering makes a knocking noise when I turn left and then immediately right. If the car is stationary and I wiggle the steering wheel a few inches in either direction I get a knock when the wheel is returning...

Planning on wiring up my x-mas presents tomorrow. The sub came with 10 gauge power and earth cable. Is this suitable considering its only 200w? I'm never really sure on these things. Thanks EDIT: I've just found some 8 Gauge power cable left over from my amp. If theres enough I use this...

When the cars cold and I start the engine I get a squeal for about 1-2 immediately as it fires up. It only does it when the engine is cold. Both belts and the power steering pump were done in October. It's got power steering fluid etc and drives perfectly fine. Could this just be moisture...

I'm pretty clueless when it comes to this. I miss the extra bass my sub produced in my last car and have decided to ask for another one for Christmas from my better half. I have an absolute max of £200 to spend and that needs to include wiring. Now for the hard bit! I want a sub that...

Love the sound of my stealth 90% of the time. On the motorway it can be a bit too boomy though. Would reducing the tail pipe exit from 2.5" to 2.25" help reduce this or would I be wasting my time? I was thinking of making a removable insert for it.

On the M4 this evening. I was behind you for a bit then you shot off ;) anyone on here?
