RenaultSport Clio 182 geo/tracking settings

[mikecraker]

On a different note, the guy at kwik fit advised me to fit a turbo as the 182's are really slow out the box...he then went for his dinner in his rover?

Make of that what you will [emoji23]

And you told us the steering wheel is slightly off centre to go straight didn't you ?

Set it perfect , drive down a road of speed humps and catch a pot hole and check it again ..... you will then understand the slightly more cynical view .

However I do get you want it as perfect as you can

I have to start with a straight steering wheel as anything else drives me insane

I understand it can go out again after a few pot holes, which our roads are littered with! Just wouldn't mind hugging the curb constantly?

I assume your sticking caliper is the nsf ??

Also Im not disagreeing with anyone but there a few factors to consider with it pulling left. Roads can be banked, the column lower uj can have play and will move slightly under its own, op could have spacers on the front and the scrub radius out..

Yes, if I hold the wheel straight it will go off to the left, same if I let go but thought this is just the caliper sliders, will know for sure when I replace them

No spacers on front, I have 172 cups alloys so sit nicely in the arch for me. Reckon it's that brake sticking causing the big pull to one side

Yes, correct. One of the sliders are seized, the boot is split

 

[STEVE.M]

I will be replacing the caliper sliders tomorrow, that's should then sort out the car pulling.

Unless you have already bought them, you will be lucky to find anywhere with them in stock.

A good clean up with emery paper and lashings of grease usually suffices, but if you get stuck.

Those injectors are cheap! I paid £60 ish each from euros when I did mine,rip off. Didn't know auto doc was as cheap as that.

 

[Usr117063]

@mikecraker That was with the 'discount' code no?

Yeah, I used code end35 for caliper sliders I am getting tomorrow,

Can't remember which code I used when did injectors few years back

It`s taken you a long time to confirm that you fitted a pair of PS3`s, but that`s another possibility struck off.

Steve, I'm pretty sure I mentioned it ages ago like 10 times ?. I said on post #67 to you I had them fitted on Monday

 

[STEVE.M]

I cannot resist any oportunity to take a dig at Ian.

I noticed Autodoc are now invoicing at 20% VAT, not 19% for GDR, so I guess they are set up for Brexit.

Not that he`s likely to dip his nose in here.

It`s about cars, not Dogma.

Obviously only a mad man would fit a single tyre on an axle, but CS is not short of them.

Please forgive me, as this is what you wrote.

"I had new ps3 fitted"

which made me raise an eyebrow.

Oh no, you'd have to be mad to replace a single tyre on an axle? people surely cannot do that!
