Hey guys,
So on the M69 yesterday at 'motorway speeds' I glance down at the fuel gauge and notice the temperature gauge is over 3/4. I immediately jumped in to the slow lane doing about 55/60 mph and the temp gauge dropped back quickly to 1/2 way mark.
I decided to take my time and stuck...
Hi guys,
FF Clio 182 with cup packs, 04 plate.
I've noticed that on about 90% of roads it pulls to the left, it seems worse the closer to the curb I am. There are a few roads where the steering wheel is straight and the car doesn't seem to pull at all.
The tracking had been checked just...
Ok, so all of a sudden on the way to a meeting this afternoon there's a MASSIVE smell of fuel in the cockpit. I'm driving behold some battered old Fiat so I figure that it's them... it gets so bad that I nearly tried to get them to pull over because there was clearly a fuel leak.
It was pretty...
Hey guys,
Been a while since I've been massively active on the forum, but that's about to change hopefully!
I used to own a 172 'berg, which I got rid of a couple of years ago. Since then I've had a 207 HDi, a Ph1 1.2 (which died a smokey death in a lay-by on the A47 due to a failed head...
Hi Guys,
Bit of background first...
I bought a 51 plate 1.2 Clio about 9 months ago, it's got high mileage but the idea was to run it until it died! It's a stop gap really...
Anyway, it's approaching 140k mils, and the clutch is beginning to slip. Had a quote from a local specialist of £380...
I've done a search, and I suppose I'm just after clarification really...
I have a 51 plate clio dynamique. The fogs have never worked, but I know it isn't the bulbs as the dash light doesn't come on when you turn the stalk.
The fuse is also fine, which leads me to the relay.
The relay is...
Hey guys,
Long time no see!! So, around 18 months ago I part ex'd my 172 for a Peugeot 207 1.4 HDi Envy. I got shot to pieces for making the swap, but I don't regret it. I was mainly doing short journeys around town so my 172 was killing my on fuel. Anyway, long story short the type of driving...
Think I got the reg right, nice looking Trophy. Think you flashed me once in Nuneaton on Hinckley Road. Didnt have time to flash as I was messing about changing the CD haha.
Hi all,
Car's been a little unsteady at the front for a while now, but nothing major really...
However, took the car to Fred the other day at BTM to have the track rods changed as one was seized, as usual he gave the car the once over and didn't really find anything wrong other than the...
My mum has a 2005 campus and she's experiencing problems with the boot.
It opens and closes as normal, but it doesn't lock with the rest of the car. Is it just a case of getting a boot locking motor and switching it over?
Hi Guys,
Been told my track rod end is seized to my steering arm on the drivers side (which has some slight play in it too apparently). I've been given prices by my local specialist which I think are a bit OTT. I'm going to take it to Fred next weekend to get it sorted out but figured if I...
Hey. My tracking is out, again....
It's apparently fine, but its pulling left. The weird thing is that sometimes its fine...??
Also sometimes under light braking it pulls even more to the left....
Front springs look very rusty. Wondered if it could be those??
Rear shocks and springs...
As title really.
Does my car HAVE to have GB on the front number plate as it's an import...??
Thinking of getting the smaller front plate and wanted to check before ordering.
I think a garage that's done a few jobs recently has broken the drivers side arch liner, the part towards the front of the bumper if that makes sense.
I THINK I can see my alternator pulleys, which are now obviously exposed to the elements.
Will this cause any problems... or can I leave it as...
When jacking the car up at the front as so...
The back wheel actually leaves the floor before the front one... It seems to take forever to get the front one off the ground. I haven't noticed this on the other side of the car but to be honest I forgot to check.
Is this normal?
