rain

I bought some rain repellant from a company called aqua wax, it's ok but you have to be doing like fifty for it to bead off. As most of my driving is to work so 30-40 ish I wondered if the stuff from gtechniq would be more beneficial?

As title says going to drain my oil in the morning wanting to know what size the square bit is you need to undo it?

After alot of rain last night most of the roads had a lot of surface water on them today. As I was driving I noticed it go into limp mode. (Wouldn't rev high and sounded like a Subaru) after about 20 minutes of driving it started spluttering a bit then let out a few loud bangs like a rally car...

My 182 is the first car I've had with 'Rain Sensing Wipers' and they drive me insane. When its only raining lightly, the intermittant wipe is not often enough for my liking so I have to keep clicking the stalk up then down/down then up to clear the screen. Cue some normal UK rain for which a...

hi guys ive noticed the rear passenger floor is damp i know its a long shot and anything could be the cause of it i was thinking of giving the drainage gutters a clean as a complete idiot how would i go about it or find them thanks

So it appears my rain sensor is missing, I guess the screen has been replaced and whoever did it didn't bother fitting a new one. Can I re-fit it or do I need a special screen with some sort of cut out? Thanks

You were just going round the roundabout. Didnt see the fog youd be driving through, but saw you.

So in preperation to the trackday at the end of the month i thought id get the new pads and discs fitted so i could get used to them. from cold better than standard, and as they are used more they get much better :). No rattling or any annoying noises, cant comment on the brake dust issue as ive...

I fitted a set of these pads last night ready for a trackday next weekend. Discs are Brembo HCs that have done about 2,000miles with Ds2500 pads. I went for a gentle 5-6 mile drive to make sure everything was OK. Haven't properly properly given them death yet but I notice that under braking...

Only when Im parked away from home as the flippin tree interfears with ma beadage! :o

Hello, Does the gel got between the windscreen and sensor, or between the gelpack and sensor? Cheers!

Righty. Me being me ive been looking around again at what pads too buy, its a good job i dont have to make any important decisions, be a nightmare lol. So been looking at the above which i will be using for road and five or six trackdays a year. Will be using hc discs. So any of you guys use...

spring wood?/freeport.. black ph2 .quite smart!

Wr53 kcn spotted at train station looked nice anyone on here?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i98-twxQZ0Y This has probably been posted before. Do the RC5 pads do that or just the full-on race RC6 ones?

Mate just fitted rainbow sort of all weather bulbs to his corsa and ive got to say they look good but the trouble is i dont know what bulbs they are, if anyone could give me any help it would be greatly appreciated im also looking to uprate all my bulbs but im clueless. any help guys ? Cheers in...

hi looking for a bit of advice because im banging my head against a wall and im running out of ideas. I have a 52 plate clio sport 172 and under acceleration on a left hand turn there is - well its hard to define what it is - it sort of sounds like a chattering / whirring noise and a vibration...

Hello I'm replacing my thermostat on Wednesday and would like to drain all the current coolant (probably 8-10% coolant at the minute) and then replace the thermostat and fill up with fresh 50/50 coolant/water but not sure the best way to drain the coolant (and flush the old stuff out). Anybody...

Just had some rainsports fitted. Still wearing them in obviously so can't really rate them yet. Just wondering what sort of pressures you think they should be at. Have heard a couple of people saying 34/31. There at 28 now so they need some air, just not sure how much. Cheers

see this morning behind me along the A2 in rainham, think the reg was re03

http://www.tyretraders.com/tyreInformation|ItemID|UNI19545R1684VRSPT2.html Heard a lot of good stuff on these.. I presume these are the correct fitment for my alloys? If so, I'm buying them nextweek!

Like new it was, 1600 ish time. Y plate.

Haven't really posted any pics on here since I first joined but the car is starting to come together now. Just a quick wash and polish before it started to rain as per the normal at the minute. So since I got the car it now has a 3/4 size front plate and also been dropped on a set of K-Tec...

Morning all, just wondering if someone could clear something up for me, I was out putting rain x on my windows last night (will upgrade to gtechniq g1 when I run out) but spilt a bit down my mirror and paintwork. It says on the back 'do not use on plastic, painted parts etc etc' but I can't...

Hello, Right, got 2 x 182's with the same problem, if stood for 4-5 day's the battery's are dead. Had the meter on them, discharge 0.16 so thats sod all. Anyone got any idea's? both battery's are new, so that aint the issue, all charging ok, and nothing obvious. Anyone had the same problem? i...

Tried this? It's great, especially due to the weather we've been having up here recently. Can't believe how much better it works than any other (cheaper) brands I've tried. Worth the price tag for such a wee bottle

Guys, I've been struggling with an intermittent misfire on the 172 Ph1 for a few weeks. I've swapped the plugs, HT leads and coil pack for brand-new Renault items without success. The only thing left to change is the pre-cat Lambda but I'm doubtful this is the cause, unless someone thinks...

This is really the only thing rain is good for, a nice bit of heading action.

Hi, im needing 4 new tyres, after alot of searching on here im gonna go for the uniroyal rainsport 2's (They seem best suited to the normal rainy conditions of aberdeen and shire) Quick question though! Do i get the 195's or can you get 205's on without any rubbing? (Ive got a 172 non cup...
