Yep, they would have put it there to stop fuel coming out when the originally replaced the filter - take it off - now!!!

Yup Socket - possibllt torx sockets aswel but should all fit in very easily - remember tho that there isnt much room to work in there! The thermostat shjould just plug in. I did mine not long ago but cant remeber how easy it was im afraid.

Bump ^^^

Ah yes, but i dont want to spray the really really hot bits, just the plastic cover ;) Was kinda hoping standard Halfords paint would do the trick..... ive got some at home and have just done my wing mirrors...

Want to spray my black F7P engine cover bit in red to match the body work - should look cool so long as the paint doesnt melt - any thoughts/advice?

Cool, ill check it then. Thanks mate, hope its as simple as that!

Yeh, it was fine last time i checked - take it that is the small box on the drivers side?

When the car is at a standstill and i begin to turn the wheel, the power from the engine is seriously drained and the rev counter drops bellow 400rpm!! Plus the steering is really heavy and makes a terrible drone and also feels like its rubbing as the wheel turns through the steering...

Yup - always gonna be the alternator- it could be a loose belt - a fooked battery or just simply the alternator broke. Get it sorted asap coz you dont want to get stuck on the motorway!

I got banned for a year and received a cheaper quote with a specialist company than if i never got a ban!!!!!

Clever boy

190 bhp from a 1.4!!!!!!!!! How? I find that a little far fetched!!!!

Ok, just want to do a few checks on my breaks to make sure they are in good condition, the mechanic it was with said they were fine but i want to make sure.....

They are smaller and lighter than a valver anyway and the power is almost the same so its not surprising that they come close if not win.

Christ mate - thats awful. Mine was an attempted break in too. The door no longer sits flush with the body and the seal looks really lumpy - crpa really - can get new ones from renault tho i suppose which should make a pretty huge difference.

Well arent you lot a clever bunch.... ;)

Started her up this morning and pulled away on my way to work. My road is on a decline hill and as i came to the junction at the bottom i started to stop. Foot on break pedal - nothing, sh*t! - press harder, starts to slow , really press hard and i eventually stop - after that it was fine. This...

Yup- by about 2 mph usually - 17s may look good but i took mine off as the ride was nasty!

Good to hear!!!! Although most people just ignore it and make do! How are you finding the new car? Any probs so far?

Everyone has this prob mate it goes after 30mph no big issue - unless you are a perfectionist! My mate had a 300bhp pulsar gtir and the speedo didnt work full stop - now thats a problem!

Which gives the better effect- polish or wax? Which is harder to do?

Exactly! Think my dad was just trying to stop me from using his wax - burk! So once you have applied the wax and left it ten mins - when you take it off, it doesnt remove a layer of paint at all does it?

U wait till ure power steering starts to groan as you turn the wheel - and starts to drain power from the engine too much -then you will need it! And this WILL happen to your clio (unless you dont have power steering of course) ;)

Right, i was washing my car last night - used some turtle wax car shampoo and was then gonna wax it. Then my dad comes down stairs - hope you arent going to use MY wax blah blah blah, paid good money, blah blah, buy your own you littel git, blah blah. He also told me that if i wax my car...

best get the h-r reg one mate.

Mine is standard too - including standard wheels (so no mess up in my speed reading) For some reason i have always been able to rev the nuts off mine - i know its not totally advisable - i find it helps a lot tho when you are racing someone and dont have to change gear when they do! it just...

That will be your alternator belt.

Erm, i can actually get 70mph in 2nd - no im not lying - i do it all the time (well not all the time as my engine would probably get pissed off) Ive havent taken her over 100 tho so i dont know the rest of the times. LAst time i told someone this, i got slated. But i aint lying.

Ever since i got mine my temperature guage would get very high as i was driving it about but as the speed rose it would cool as the wind was blowing in a cooling the engine. However, when i came to a stand still i had to put the heaters on full incase of overheating! Now that i have fiddled with...

So if you use petrol cleaner do you put it in when you have a pretty full tank o fuel? What does it do exactly?
