  Cup In bits
I know, that's what I keep thinking. It literally has none of the common problems and I want to do a track day in it before it goes. Playing with fire I thinks.....

Feeling very pleased with myself - I've managed to change the suspension top mounts and bearings without using a spring compressor or taking the strut off the car.
Clio 1.2 16v
How I did it - I don't know - only kidding , I'll put a post up about it soon , I took lots of pics so you can all see.

Fitted brembro disks ds2500 pads goodridge hoses and new fluid flush oh and sorted a exhaust joint blowing, quite productive really
 
Have you read the fault codes?
Connecters under the seats?


Replaced the seats for non airbag items and pre-tensioners (To suit the Cup) and re-done and tidied up wiring
Replaced the resistors in the under seat wiring
Side impact sensors are connected
Steering wheel squid is connected

Used a Snap On code reader cleared faults, the only one outstanding was the Airbag Module itself.. Looked up the code said configuration was wrong.

Checked the module and it had been replaced, looked on here for correct module/numbers from a Cup and had it reconfigured

Plugged it in.. Still an AIRBAG LIGHT !!!!!!! :mad:

I also noticed recently my indicator does not work going left.. nothing happens.. so maybe the steering wheel squid has given up

'hashtag' upset :(

Mines not just today but in the last week. Only got the car last sunday and I've replaced the exhaust, put new clips on the cv boots, swapped wheels front to rear, replaced the leaking rear shocks. The n/s/r shock had no resistance at all. Washed it twice and done the tracking. All in my lunch break at work last week. Think there is some other stuff but I can't remember

Believe me i did! I honestly thought it was a bad paint job on the tailgate it was so rough (I've only owned the car a month). I will go over it with the rotary when I've got a bit more time and a bit less sun.

Took the scuttle off, cleaned the drains, shattered my windscreen. Cleaned the engine bay and the car. Replaced the bolt covers on my new alloys until I can get some shiny new bolts.
Cleaned the plasti dip off my old center caps to find they were anthracite (lucky coincidence) and painted the diamonds Albi blue.

Stunning wheels, love them! Love the blue bolts too to be honest.

Today, well strictly last night, I replaced my wiper motor as it was going faulty and rarely worked, normally only on the highest setting, and occasionally stopped working leaving the wipers in the middle of the windscreen. Problem solved! I also put the three extra grab handles I got from the breakers in the dishwasher, looking very clean and ready to fit now! Then I'll have one for every seat instead of blanks.
