Taken today at Staffs Uni car park. Valver suspension on the way for this maxim 's' thing lol. Akira's sits nice and low though.

Few pics of my new car. Mods so far are: Clear side repeaters, polished turbines, decat, valver carpet oil dials, leather steering wheel, gaiter, gearnob and top dash, head unit and speakers, performance airbox element. Most of this was from my old car. Have also added new brake hoses, brembo...

I've blown this relay/fuse so the ignition lights don't come on now and the car won't start. I can hear the fuel pump arm though. I've replaced the two under the bonnet for transmission but it made no difference. Please help!

Is this possible? I.e. can i just disconnect the top hose and thermostat housing without losing massive amounts of coolant. Obviously i will rebleed the system afterwards but if the coolant loss is minimal i won't bother draining the entire lot through the bottom hose. Thanks for any advice.

What is the correct way to go about removing the old wheel and its corresponding airbag then refitting with a new one? This is for a mk1 phase 3. Does the battery have to be disconnected? What danger is there of the canister going off while i am working on it? Any advice appriciated.

I have a new set of calipers to use when i reinstall my brakes tomorrow however pagid have supplied some caliper guide bolts as well as lucas (girling) in their boxes. Which should i use? Secondly, how tight in terms of torque do they need to be, there not that big as far as bolts go so i'm...

I'm looking to get some metal braided brake hoses for my RT. At the moment i use valver discs, pads and calipers but still use the old RT brake hoses. The only braided hose kits i can find are for the 16v/williams so are there any differences between the hoses used on the valver to the hoses...

This is probably a stupid question but its late ;) With valver brakes, where do the metal prongs on the top of the brake pad go when you insert the pad into the caliper? My understanding is that the metal prongs go through the gap at the top of the caliper to hold them in place. This is...

Saw a blue one in the centre of winchester yesterday with a small cliosport sticker in the back.Looked mint whos is it?

Ive finally had enough of this crazy uneven tyre wear destroying my tyres so does anyone know if kwik fit or a normal tyre place will know how to fit camber correction bolts if i buy a set? failing that is there a specialist place that will do the work all in one go. Based in Swindon and...

Having a bit of a problem getting my tracking done up here in Stafford because the car is too low for them to attach their devices around the wheels. Therefore i assume i need it to be laser alligned? is there anywhere in the stafford area that can do this? Thanks

My car needs a clutch change but i really need it to be done as cheaply as possible. Therefore does anyone know of any mechanics in the swindon area or themselves that would want to do it. Its only a 1.4RT so it shouldnt be too difficult and i would obviously provide all necessary clutch...

Tried searching the forums for this but cant find it. basically i was wondering what the standard rev limiter is in the 1.4. i always thought it was 6.5k but i tried a chipped ecu in my car the other day which was supposed to up the limiter and it stayed the same. anyone got any idea?

Does anyone know that renault seemed to have used a different gearbox in the mk1 phase 2 1.4 compared to the phase 1 1.4? noticed the other night. my mark 1 does 70mph in 5th at about 3100ish rpm. was in my mates phase 2 1.4 the other night and he was sitting on 70mph and the engine was only...

just had a look over the bottom half of the car and the drivers side lower sill is bubbling up really bad!! it is about 1/3 bubbled up most of it is concentrated near the rear wheel! this means that water must have got in or is still in!! i knocked it and it is hollow inside so i wouldnt be...

Ever since i bought my 1.4 RT the rev counter has been dodgy. When i start the car it will work for about a minue sometimes less than that then it cuts out. So for short journeys i am without the rev counter. But if i am driving for more than 1hr/2hrs it will tend to all of a sudden start...

am i right in assuming the bulbs in the RTs are H4s? cheers
