Following a wheel alignment on my M reg Clio, I want to centralise the steering wheel. The airbag fitted is a "self contained" type with a battery assembly and I want to be able to do this without using a dummy ignition module ELE 1288 because it seems hardly worth it for this once only job. I...
Hi guys,
I bought an x reg 1.4 clio sport last year and the battery has no form of casing to stop it moving. The battery isn't the original so could have been too big and the previous owner just removed the case but correct me if I'm wrong, the battery needs to be secured to pass an mot? Could...

Any help appriciated
God I feel so useless.
Battery went flat over a couple of weeks I think 'cos I left the bluetooth OBD plugged in.
So I need to yank it out re-charge it inside (I live in a flat and can't run an extension).

Thanks

Just wondering if this is a problem or not?
Does it need to be a sealed battery? Or can I put the standard one there?
Won't fail the mot or anything like that?
Anyone got any they re commend? Seen the power monkey looks expensive to me for what it is. I'm after one that can recharge and iPhone roughly 5 times.

Cheers for looking! :)
Well today my 9yr old battery gave up the ghost, poor show or good. Don't suppose it's too bad really, but what an arse to fit, should have known it wasn't going to take 5mins.
I've just recieved my light weight battery to replace my flat OE one...lasted 9 years, not bad!
Just wondering if anyone has any tips for fitting it in the engine bay, on it's side, mounted to the gear box mount? Before I go and reinvent the wheel.
I found a good guide on fitting it in the...

Anyone who has one wired, what have you done?

Hi guys, in the process of relocating the battery into the car- looking for some ideas of what to do with the airbox maybe using a v6/ph-1 box or another set up? Pics would be great ;)
So I've got a battery drain on my Clio 182, its fine if you use it everyday but leave it 2-3days and it goes flat. I tried to investigate myself but I didn't get very far. Having had enough I dropped it off at a reputable auto electricians in the hope it would be something simple and they could...
