Had new plugs, leads & coil pack fitted. But the car now has a big misfire. If theres anyone in my area that could give me a hand as i need the car for work on monday, it would be greatly appreciated! AA man reckons its injector related.
Im in Biggleswade & happy to give beer tokens.
Cheers
Spottd these on the bay. Are these Clio fitment?

Just noticed my temp gauge stop workinp So i put my obd fault finder on and it had a misfire fault code. Very unlikely these 2 are linked? So guess i need to order a temp sensor along with a new coilpack and ht leads. Am i right? I put a new temp sensor in about 1 month ago so i guess its faulty.
Going to be buying a new coil pack for my car. Just wondering if anyone has fitted a performance pack. Im uprating the HT leads at the same time so figured it would make sense to fit an uprated coilpack aswell.
What are peoples experiences/thoughts?
Cheers.
Hi,
Had this problem a while now and not sure where to go from here.
Whenever the car is started from cold (overnight) it just idles crap. Sometimes it will splutter a bit like its heading for a stall. When ive drove it 100 yards or so and come to a stop. The revs fluctuate between around 1k &...
Ive just moved into anew house in biggleswade, wondering if theres many cliosporters in and around the area.
Anyone interested in a mini meet? I've never been to a meet and be good to meet up with some people on here, get to know the locals.
Just got in the car this morning and its developed a loud click, which seems to be coming from just behind the steering wheel. Only when i turn the steering wheel to the right and at a certain point around half way. It just makes a loud single click as it turns past the point, done a few miles...
Just noticed last night for the first time. Basically my temperature gauge was fluctuating up and down quite quickly (within seconds) a few degrees when warm. When I pulled up I also noticed that my revs were up and down aswell. Tried putting my foot on the throttle holding it at around 2000rpm...
Im thinking about getting a 3/4 number plate so theres no over hang and I like the look of it. Just wondering if many people have issues with the police because of this. Im just going to change the front.

Thought I would get a project thread started as my car is now running lovely after a cam belt service and a few problems that come up.
Owned the car a few months now and so far i've had the cambelt changed and a pipercross panel filted. Aswell as a large puddle of oil meaning the rocker cover...
Im having an issue with my 172 cup. The car doesnt start first time every time. Seems to not want to start first time when its been cold over night. The car will turn over 4 or so times then stop, turn the key a 2nd time and it starts fine.
Ive tested the alternator, battery & starter motor...
Hi,
I've done a bit of searching and cant seem to find the flywheel torque settings on my 172 cup. Can anyone help with the setting and also direct me to a good manual with all the tech specs in I can buy?
Cheers.
Having a small issue with my 172 cup. It seems to hesitate on starting from cold. I did have a new lambda sensor fitted which I thought sorted the issue. But its gone back to struggling to start. Its only a minor issue as the engine does turn over a few more times from cold before starting, and...
Hi,
Im quite tall so my knees are quite close to the steering wheel when driving my 172 cup! who would of thought it lol!
Just wondering if theres any known way of lowering the seat at all? I might just get a smaller steering wheel but ideally would like to keep the original.
Cheers.
Hi,
Im going to change the gear oil on my 172 cup.
What do people recommend?
Cheers.
PS. can a mod change the stupid spelling mistake (gear box oil) :)
Noticed a cheap 2.5inch stainless 182 (looking?) manifold on ebay. Has anyone fitted this to a 172cup? Does anyone know if this will fit onto my standard CAT without any extra mods?

Im thinking about fitting a new clutch cable to my 172 cup. The cable fitted to the car has 'Bowden' stamped in the plastic end closest to the clutch. Just wondering if this is an original cable or maybe the previous owner has changed this before.
Cheers,
Dean
Got a slight issue with a 172 cup...
Whenever I start the car from cold there doesnt seem to be much go up until about 3k RPM. There just seems to be alot of travel in the pedal. The car will just idle along at a rolling speed, but as I push the pedal nothing happens. Then when the revs get...
Spoke to KTEC about their exhausts today as there are so many options. Basically im looking for the best performance from the system, as long as the system doesnt wake the neighbours. Just wondering what people would recommend from experience.
Could be interested in a decat also, but been...
