    Intermittent Misfire | Appears fine, suddenly starts misfiring, then snaps out, repeat

    I am getting an intermittent misfire whilst driving. Car will appear to be driving fine, but then all of a sudden will start misfiring, and I don't mean just running lumpy, it will lose the majority of power for say ten/twenty seconds, before seemingly snapping out of it and working fine...

    Rear Pad Carrier - can't get bolts to line up

    So I removed the rear driver side pad carrier as usual to inspect the pads. However I now can't get the bolt holes to line up to bolt it back on. The pad is flush against the back, and the piston is wounder in, but the holes just don't line up as can be seen below: Any ideas?

    Any way to check emissions before an MOT yourself?

    My 182 failed on emissions last MOT (2nd year in a row, I replaced the Lambda last year) I think it might be because I didn't give it a blast before taking it last time, either that or I need a replacement cat :( Getting my car ready for its retest which is tomorrow, Is there any way I can...

    Xenon Headlights: Removing leveling motor

    On my passenger headlight, the plastic casing on the inside that holds the bulbs is loose and swings up and down. I've figured its probably to do with the headlight leveling motor (black box between the two rubber covers on back of headlight) How do you remove this? Looking at it, it looks like...

    Xenon headlight broken. Alignment problem

    My car failed its MOT as a result of the passenger Xenon shining too high up. However would appear to be a problem with the self levelling motor thing. If I remove one of the caps on the rear of the light, with my finger I can wobble the silver insert that holds the bulbs moves so the beams move...

    Windscreen replacement?

    My windscreen has got a crack, so need to get it replaced. What's the best way to go about this? I'm with Admiral so pretty sure I can get it done under insurance, for a £70 excess. However I don't want it to effect my premium. I remember gally saying something about having to declare it, even...

    Will an Upper Inlet Plenum off a ph1 fit a ph2 (Mk2) ?

    As above, searched and getting conflicting reports on this. I know the throttle body is different, is the plenum itself? thinking of buying some matched inlets off a ph1, to go on my 182, will they fit?

    Horrible shaking/vibrating steering wheel at speed.

    My steering wheel shakes horribly at 70mph + . Literally to the point its shaking my hands. Below that speed its fine.

    How to remove ECU metal cover?

    Am I right in thinking the metal case bit that covers the connectors on top of the ECU just pulls off? I can't for the life of me get it off. This bit:

    Throttle Body > Inlet. Gasket?

    On the Clio 1.2 8v, between the throttle body and the inlet there is a gasket. Bit of a silly question, I've sourced a new gasket, do I need to use sealant as well?! Similar to the one in this:

    Does Idle Control Valve have glue on adjustment bolt from factory [Pics]

    On the idle control valve (I think that's what this bit is called!?) from a D7F 1.2 8v engine, that is on the end of the throttle body housing. As you can see from the photo, the adjustment screw looks like its got glue in it, I guess to stop people turning it. If you look inside you can see...

    Accelerator doesn't work. Revs bounce up and down on idle.

    When the car is idling in neutral, the revs bounce from 1000rpm to 2/2500rpm repeatedly. So it's going "vroom, back down, vroom, back down, vroom, back down" by itself. Touching the accelerator does nothing. Doesn't increase revs or appear to work at all. I've swapped the pedal assemply...

    Electronic Throttle Control fault/Short-circuit (Fault Codes) ?

    Plugged my mates 1.2 into my RSTuner, because he'd been having problems with the car losing all power and not being able to accelerate above 30 mph. The three faults that look the suspect are the bottom three (why does only the ICV fault have a code?) Am I right in thinking the Electronic...

    Had my Recaro's a while now, but recently got some Sabelt 3 point double release harnesses (with an extra buckle in the rear strap) I've managed to fit them whilst retaining all the standard belts, so I can choose as and how I'm feeling, and if I want passengers in the rear I can just undo the...

    Throttle/Accelerator problem

    My mate is having a problem with his Clio. He's having problems with the throttle. He'll be driving along and then all of a sudden the accelerator pedal will stop working, and the car will just sit idling at 500 revs without touching the pedal, and he'll get no response from pushing the pedal...
