Hi, Am swapping H/U with my mate as hes selling his car. Got my H/U into his car no probs but his Sony will not light up when in mine, just get a beep when trying to release the facia. I think somehow I may have lost my constant feed, have checked the fuse which is fine. How easy is it to...

Hi, Just wondering if anyone could shed some light on what this annoying rattling could be on my 16V. I can only hear it from inside the car when it is idling or when on full lock it seems to get louder, could it be the bearings in my alternator, cant tell where it is coming from under the...

i think leather is more desirable too mate, I held out to find a mint one with leather and am well glad I did, lumbar support, seat height adjustor etc !!

Hill Power ones are about 57 quid with Cliosport discount as Ive just bought one. Doddle to fit and it makes a huge difference !

No, always take a direct feed !! Im no expert so someone tell me to shut up if this is wrong but Ive put in a couple of amps. A mate of mine used to insist it was easier to take the feed off of the lighter socket on the dash, splaying the wire and soldering the amp wire on, that was until his...

Thinking of getting rid of my HP Induction Kit [offers ?!?! Am only thinking at the mo though !] and putting the original box on with performance filter in it. Will this be better and what one do you all suggest ? I think with the warm weather coming up my power is bound to be down with the HP...

Wicked, thanks a lot and sorry for disrupting the post !

Cheers Ben thats wicked, left my Haynes round my dads and hes lost it, good job I asked as I nearly sprayed carb cleaner in that black tube last night but had second thoughts, PHEW !! Hope it does help the idling as its running well rough at the moment, I think I have hit the 65K fecking...

Well clean engine bay Ben H, wish mine was like that, what mileage are you on, is that cleaned regularly ?. Dont mean to stray off topic but immediately to the right of the dip stick, the thick black tube, is that where you spray carb cleaner to clean the ICV, should I drown it in cleaner or...

Mine too, and I get the little black clip on thingy showing itself in the top right corner of the window every now and then.

Got a 96 N reg 16V. Recently started running very lumpy even when warm. Also when idling the revs die and nearly cut out. Is the problem my idle control valve or something more major ? The car is on 65K. Where is the valve located, is it a difficult job to take off, clean and replace with some...

Maybe its because you type like you are drunk ?!?!?!? [friendly joke, no offence intended !!].

Madness mate, well done for not losing your rag, I think I may have tried running the pr1ck over if he came near me waving a fecking bat. Goes to show you just dont know, they now have machine guns in Bexleyheath !!!!

Thats what my girlfriend said, so we had a bet, she went through the yellow pages getting quotes for me and I stuck with Max Power and I bettered her best quote by about 350 quid, then I tried on-line with Elephant and nobody has beaten them, I think its living in London that does it to be honest.

Fuuuurrrrrrck it, I am going to have to move, this wont do, I know what I want but I got quoted 1400 quid on a cup !!!!!!!

klmillard thats wicked, I dont understand insurance. I get Max power every year near my renewal date [I only get it for the insurance numbers in the back] and go through every single one and Elephant are still the cheapest but I still think 850 is dear and I only do 8K and under a year, tried...

560, that is pukka mate, Im with Elephant, 5 years no claims, exhaust, IK, alloys, 850 quid fully comp and Im 25 next month !!! Is yours fully comp or 3rd party [Ive a feeling this may upset me !!!]

Hi Rob, Im looking round for some quotes to get my rear passenger side fixed too after some stupid woman hit me and am looking into having it all clour coded too. Is V&G on the road leading to Footscray Ind park, with Comet etc along it ? Am going to pop down at the weekend. Cheers

I spent ages looking for a mint blue or black valver, then I came across a mint iceburg silver one which I bought as Id never seen one in silver. Some of the time I think " should I have waited for a black or blue one ? " but then think the silver looks good and seems to be rarer and when waxed...

Hi Rob, where are you getting this done, Sanspeed ? How are you getting it done for free ? [if you dont mind me asking !?]

What have you got at the moment, standards ?

Thanks for the offer mate but Ill give it a miss !!

Whats a resistor then ? It says its an ECU chip, guessed it may have been bolx, anyone actually contacted them ?

Has anyone seen the performance chip on e-bay for 5 quid claiming to add 20 BHP. Whats this all about, has anyone bought one ? Am I missing something here !?! cheers

Hi, Thanks guys, was just trying to hear a few options. As I said, Im not after winning SPLs or anything and dont want to sound like a cheap skate but £175 quid isnt really my budget range [house, girlfriend, holiday !!]. Have seen a Mac attack 4 ch amp, 4x60w RMS for a 100 quid, now I know...

27 year old wanting a Nova ? Dont you mean 17 year old with baseball cap ?

Is this the same for 16V too ? I dont do it all the time but occasionally when a bit too eager to gain a bit more edge the power just dies, would I be damaging anything ? I know the 172 is a bit more sophisticated than a valver !? I hit the limiter at the weekend and the car has been a bit lumpy...

I know you seem to get bombarded with questions but you know what youre on about. I have Infinity Kappa 50.1 in the front running off the H/U, Phillips GTM 6935 6x9s also running off the H/U and a magnat 1200 sub running off a poo amp in the boot [as I am slowly upgrading]. Can I run everything...

Excellent mate, I am not alone !!!! my girlfriend doesnt seem to understand either " why do you have to race " etc etc, " your not going to beat every car on the road " !! Maybe not, but if its safe to do so Ill try !!!!!!! Shame I got done, but there will be another time !!!

I know I know, but to have a little burn with someone seems so rare, in my old XR2I everyone fancied it but in the clio it doesnt happen, then when it does, he had a rolling start, I hit the limit in first and I had my girlfriend sitting next to me, noooooooooooooooooooooooo !!!!!!!!! Anyway, Im...
