That is one tidy looking engine bay, I love it! Thanks for using my ducts, glad you like them!

I've got access to an industrial 3D printer and I've been making Clio bits on it. Next on my list is a gauge pod, I wondered where people prefer these? I've looked and I can decide between the very top centre of dash where that little rubber mat is, or cut the screen out just below and install...

And thanks again everyone for your help

In case anyone else has the issue, it was the injectors. The eBay seller told me I was the 14th out of a batch of 20 to complain. New ones from renparts and we're back to health!

Sounds very familiar, my injectors didn't line up properly either with the little hole and plastic clip bit. The O-Ring on the fuel rail also split when I did it and I replaced it with one from a Halfords kit. I've just gone and changed it for a thicker one to see if it will seal better at that...

I got them from eBay but they're genuine I think, car drives spot on when it eventually starts!! What were your symptoms?

It's only about 6 months old, the speed that it turns over is fine it seems. I tried the spare key in case it's the immobiliser or something stupid but no difference.

So I've tried to research this and found nothing conclusive, I'm sure the symptoms will sound familiar to someone. First instance - engine was hot, went to restart and took a couple of seconds longer than normal. This was followed by a very, very, very lumpy idle for about 3 seconds then it...

Certain aspects of geometry are very sensitive, why else would that have bothered making 182 trophy turini offset the same as normal 182 and not just use 172 cup turini which was an existing part number? I'm certainly not an expert but I work with experts and I know some things are sensitive...

The offset difference is about 7mm which is potentially significant for some suspension geometry, king pin offset I think. Having said that, I have done exactly the same and haven't noticed any degradation in handling! I did ask myself the same question and did it anyway but it's fine.

I know what you mean, and I fell for it too. How can you go wrong for that price you're thinking.... They got a little better when the tread wore down but with the thin blocks and soft sidewalls they are terrible laterally. When you feel the weight next to Michelins you realise why they are...

I'd recommend the extra for the Michelins. Rain sport 2 that I had are terrible soft sidewalled tyres that, whilst being ok with longitudinal forces, are absolutely dire laterally. They just buckle under themselves while cornering.

Mine was off the road for a month and 1 injector died. I did get injector fault code to go with it. I suggest clearing code, swapping injector round (2 and 4 or whatever) and seeing if code follows.

Those are trophy parts which are 182 cup not cup pack... Or are they the same?

So, there's some play and I've narrowed it down to be the driver's side inner track rod. After searching and reading all I can find, I am no clearer as to what I need. My car is a 182 with cup pack suspension (full fat). A friend had one that was too short, he said it was from a diesel or...
