any big tips on cleaning engine bay, as in what gives best results- products. obviously keep water away from air intake and all that stuff. anything else i should consider?

i was just wondering, is it possible to swap the heater dials with the headunit in a mark 1. basically just cause i cant get a flip out dvd player in the place it is in now. thanks

yeah i got the basic stuff, my step-dad is gunna help me. he's quite handy. is there any guides in the cliosport members area guides on how to replace them? thanks

im changing the calipers on my mark1 phase 3 cause i have some new discs which are vented and grooved by my current calipers arent compatible with vented discs. i was just wondering can someone show me a guide of how to change the calipers, im fine with the discs and pads, they're quite easy...

Started work on my car today at around 11am, firstly i thought i'd lower the back end by adjusting the torsion bar as i've just bought some 55mm spax springs and some 15"alloys off a friend. So to sum up i was expecting to have a nice lowered car by the end of the afternoon/day. Earlier i went...

nice Dark red (couldn't see exactly as it was dark), lowered, angel eyes, multispoke alloys. tints on rear. looked nice and sounds very beefy

shot in the dark here but any idea how much i'll be looking at to get this done?

my mate just photo-shoped my car, he took the bumpstrips off, and smoothed front bumper down, just wondering if anyones got any hints or tips on smoothing bumpstrips. i know how to remove them as i already colour coded them, just wondering what to do for best results on smoothing. cheers

how about £50-£60 for full lot?

have no idea mate, if its just the front two i dunno how much. what price range am i looking at?

they're better than the rt ones arent they, more buckety. you selling them?

by any chance you still got the 16 valve seats lol

anyone give me any hints and tips on stripping my car. obviously theres the usual back seats and the two rear door cards. any other nice ideas anyone?

£15 for the belt, £50 for belt and tensioner, thats a bit steep if you ask me

simple yes or no would have done like but ya know. i still cant find a bloody tensioner for my car :mad:

is it okay to use the same tensioner thats on the car now or will that not work?

too late, i already bought the belt, it was only £15, so i just need to find a cheap or decent priced tensioner. me being me thought that it would turn out cheaper buying them seperate, cause they wanted £60 for belt and tensioner so i don't see how that works. any ideas of a cheap one?

arite people, just bought my timing belt and water pump ready to be fitted, the garage told me its advisory to change the tensioner for the timing belt. i've looked everywhere and can't find one anywhere, can someone direct me to a website where i can oder one, or anything for that matter. its a...

yea i kept on top of the coolant, it was only if i didnt fill it up and it ran dry that i'd of cracked the head. so it should be okay i think, but im not a mechanic so ya know.

i want to replace the whole of my dash clocks cause i tried to fit some dial backrounds but i messed up a few of my needles and my friend snapped one, so i was wondering if any other clio dials and everything are compatible with mine. its a 96 1.4 rt, thanks

it varys really, cant say ive noticed differences in turning but i know that it makes alot more noise when its in gear, and when its in neutral while moving its not as noisey. i dunno, i dont want to spend loads of money getting my wheels inspected and whatnot if it isnt gonna sort it..

i got quoted £150 to get a water pump and a timing belt fitted as long as i supplied the parts. and the guy at the garage said they make a load of noise if broken. but if it isnt the pump, how will i go about finding out what the noise is, and whats the costs?

my water pump has been broken for a few weeks but i got told as long as i kept on top of the coolant level it should run okay. pulled up at some traffic lights today and a sh*t load of steam came out the bonnet, filled my coolant back up asap and 2 litres of coolant escaped through the water...

cheers guys, looks like ill be waiting then, any idea how much someone will charge to do it, or how to do it myself?

whats everyones views/ideas on cutting the front springs to lower it, just for a short time till i buy a lowering kit. i'll be adjusting the rear torsion bar to lower the back and a friend said cut the front springs. just curious...

just out of interest, where can i get my hands on some of those hoses, looks very neat :)

how the hell do you change it, ive had to bodge mine with some bloody glue and bolts and stuff, a link to a complete guide how to do it would be great, or just a detailed explanation and pictures. thanks

there was a tiny hint of it but i got rid of it asap so bodywork is just about imaculate

thats fair enough then, although when i got my car, i already had the sub, head unit, splitter, apint and tints before i even got it lol had it about 2 month now i think, need to do loads of leathering inside and i need a damn spoiler but i cant find one anywhere:mad:

you can pick a smart front bumper up from ebay and you get the fogs with it, just the wiring that may be the problem, unless there are cables already fitted like alot of cars these days
