Jesus... Stevie Wonder could have stuck that sticker on straighter!

Jeez, in that case mine is actually too loose! Was just fearing for all the bearings thinking I'd overtightened it. Thanks for your help, will get tweaking.

Hi guys, Just wondering what is the recommended way to tension an aux belt? Is there a special tool? Can it be done without a tool? I've got a ph1 172 non-cup, but running a Pure Motorport air con delete kit. I'm concerned it is too tight, as although it isn't whining, when I just moved the...

Just to let you know, oil level in a car has nothing to do with the oil pressure. This is governed by what the oil pump can put out and how much resistance there is in all the oil lines / outlets.

Not sure if a decat actually has a negative effect on power on these cars - NASP engines need a certain amount of back pressure to make them most efficient. On a turbo car, yes without doubt it'd help, but worth doing your research first on these.

More than likely that your calipers are starting to seize. Are they warm / hot after a motorway run?

Get a set of aggressive cams in there and a lightened flywheel - that'll give you more lumpiness than school canteen gravy!

It's just my cheeks that feel bruised, fine today, but after 60 miles yesterday it wasn't pleasant jumping back in for the journey home. Probably doesn't help having very stiff coilovers, but the padding seems very thin on the bit your bum actually rests on. Will definitely give it a shot at...

Ok nice one - was just not sure whether there was a safety implication of not having the front and rear mounts horizontal. One thing I've noticed though - the seats are u comfortable as f**k on long journeys! Fortunately I had an old cushion in the rear to save my arse!

Anyone? There must be others with fixed back buckets?

Brakes work without engine running, you just lose the servo assist so actually need to push the pedal a bit more forcefully. The biggest risk would be steering lock coming on I'd have thought if you panicked and turned the key too far!

Sounds most likely to be a door / boot switch. They can get water in them which corrodes the contacts - if they can be stripped, a bit of wire wool or wet and dry will clean them up. Failing that, just buy a couple of 2nd hand ones from a breaker to try.

That'd be much appreciated. :) Previous owner thought it was a good idea to mount the shoulder restraints to the hook that would normally be used to clip the folding rear seat into... Can't believe that would be overly safe in a crash!

Hi guys, I've recently bought a Clio with a set of Bimarco Futura seats, and as nice as they are for pinning you in position (definitely needed in a go-kart like car), they're a bit more upright than what I'm used to. Now, the side mounting plates have got multiple holes; slotted ones at the...

Do you have any pics / what are your harnesses mounted to?

Not on the max... Just trying to help out as personally it'd ring alarm bells for me as to why it isn't - as a prospective buyer I'd have no way of knowing if it had a big / small leak, HG issue etc, and coolant losses can be hard to trace.

It may be clean - but he might want to take a look at that coolant level before buyers start turning up. Best of luck.
