It was a Y reg and I think blue (too dark to work out of it were blue, black or green).
Recognised the noise of it approaching and was like “I’ll keep up” but then realised I was in my E60 so it would have been weird. Looked and sounded good.
Oh and your third brake light is out.
Seen a set of wheels that are local-ish I could be tempted by to use as track tyres for my Ph1 172, probably run a set of AR1's. They are off a Renault 19 and are 6.5J wide with tyres 195/50/R15.
Being slightly not as wide as the standard Oz F1's I currently have this wont be too much of a...
Need to get a cat as the old one had collapsed and to make the car good for an MoT test really. I’ve spoken to the people that made the exhaust and they are happy to put a cat in when they make a centre silencer for it so I can go with an aftermarket one.
Any decent ones to go for or avoid...
Now I’ve got my Z3 water tight the insides are still getting damp and have to keep wiping the mold off the seats (I need to disinfect them to kill it and re-treat the leather). It needs a good few days of not being cold and raining to get the roof off and let it air.
I’ve got, what I thought...
So my Clio, E34 and Z3 are not being used for the winter I need to do something to the batteries to disconnect it to stop them going flat.
I used to be able to trickle charge the E34 with a battery conditioner thing and that was ideal. Don’t have the option to do it in my new house.
The...
Seeing as hen's teeth are more common than a decent set of arch liners, what have people used as alternatives?
I've taken mine off (the usual they were damaged, broken, fixings were toast and been cut and drilled out and the one dragged on the road if it wasn't cable tied up, plus it makes...
The wifi signal in my new office is a bit pants, furthest point away from the router and thick stone walls do not help. Need to get a wifi extender, although the ones on Amazon are a bit confusing

All the negative reviews say they are...
Anyone know of a metal sump guard under tray that would fit a mk2 Clio? Was driving the Ph1 around the lanes my new place and it likes to bottom out and thought a metal one would help a bit more protection. It doesn’t help that the standard plastic one I have is damaged on the back edge and it...
I am in need of a good all year car cover for all my cars as I am moving house and I wont have a garage 😭 It is really for the E34 and another for the Z3 at the moment after seeing the price of some but wouldn't mind getting the Clio one in the near future.
Needs to be for all weather, rain...
Every since fitting my ITBs I’ve never been 100% happy with the fuel hoses. They work and do the job but I’m sure there is a better way.
I’ve got the KTec billet fuel rail and running an external fuel pressure regulator. But it’s where I have connected the new parts to the original hoses that I...
Want to run a radiator fan bypass so I can switch the fan on manually, mainly for using it after a track session and the fact that it got silly hot the other day when sat in traffic (I am positive I saw the temp rise then come back down then creep back up, so the fan must have kicked in??)
I...
Now I can use the car as it has been mapped I am just going through a snag list before I can use it.
It was noticed when mapping that the throttle sticks ever so slightly. Does this if gently opening the throttle and then gently lifting off. Does this with the throttle pedal or manually moving...
Went to lock the Clio this afternoon after working on it and it wouldn’t lock. The light on the fob was going when pressed. Looked inside and the immobiliser light was going mad and so was the oil pressure light. Opened the door and you can hear a relay in time with the oil pressure light...
Went to start my Ph1 172 or the first time after fitting the ITB's. It has a GEN90 ECU in it now and as per the instructions I got from KTec I swapped the ECU pins around. I am told the ECU came wth a base map on it.
When I came to start it, turned the ignition on and the fuel pump did not...
I need to mount my catch tank and struggling to get ideas.
I have removed the air box strap mounting thing by the battery so was thinking of adding a second bolt hole on the battery cover so it is a bit more sturdy and then putting the catch tank onto that somehow
Just had a look now and it...
Putting a new headlight on my E60, replacement didn’t come with any of the ballast stuff for the xenon’s. Not a problem the ones I have are still working so will swap them over…..however it won’t fit
Even the mounting points are wrong.
Quick google and I can’t find out what I need. The one I...
I need to either splice a new throttle position sensor onto my Ph1 loom or swap the throttle position sensor from a Ph2 to my Ph1 loom. I am struggling to find a wiring diagram. Any help?
So I need to go from this Ph1 loom plug:
To this throttle position sensor:
I would prefer to use a...
Been doing a bit of reading about uprated fuel rails as I am thinking about gettin the KTec Racing one for my Ph1 as I am in the process of fitting ITBs. I thought that I am upgrading the injectors and all that I might as well do the fuel rail too, and the standard one looks a bit pants next to...
I have noticed I am missing a bolt that holds the lower inlet manifold on, the one under the cam belt cover / engine mount
Anyone know what size it is so I can replace it?
The slam panel on my Ph1 has been removed for ITBs. But the bonnet alarm switch needs to go somewhere. Currently it is not even connected and everything seems to work ok and the alarm hasn’t gone off and the doors lock 🤷♂️
Shall I just leave it? Or where have other people related them?
After some advice on the wiring for the Reversing Camera I have bought for my new Apple Car Play Unit to fit to my E60. Camera is the right one for the unit but came with no instructions :rolleyes: I have contacted the shop but nothing yet. The only instructions are for the apple car play unit...
Need to replace the rear N/S ABS sensor on my Ph1 172.
Originally bought one off eBay, before they shipped they cancelled it as it didn't fit. The other I bought I was also told would fit and it doesn't. The garage it is currently at said they could get one but turns out that one is also...
Will be replacing the injectors when I swap to ITB's as it seems most of the things I read when going for mapping is that people end up replacing injectors, so I thought to do it before I go for mapping! What are people using or suggest? Seen these...
I am getting a shopping list of parts together for an ITB build on my Ph1 172. Need to get a standalone ECU, was probably going with a GEN90.
I was looking at EFI's website and came accross this https://efi-parts.co.uk/product/clio-172-ph1-immobiliser-removal-sirius-32-32n/
Then it got me...
I am biting the bullet and going down the route of fitting ITB's to my Ph1. Always wanted them and have the opportunity to do it. Because noise.
Going to do it in stages, like get the rad and that sorted. Then fit the ITB's. Then when the cam belt needs replacing in a few years get some spicier...
Going to get my Ph1 resprayed in the coming months. So the overal look isn't let down by the headlights I am going to get some new ones. Are there any ones to look out for? I have taken a quick look on AutoDoc and there are a few at varying prices:

Trying to work out if a you can get a wireless keybaord and mouse for an XBox One Series S (think it is the S, been told it is all digital and doesn't have a disk drive) as the girlfriend's son has asked for a keyboard and mouse for his birthday to use on his XBox.
Being practical we were...
The Clio had been sat unused from about November and I foolishly left the hand brake on. Came to move it and it was stuck on but managed to free it by driving off.
Used it yesterday and noticed there was a juddering when braking that I could hear and feel through the brake pedal. Brakes feel...
Semi Clio related-ish as it relates to engine care, but the oil pressure light on my E34 is slow to turn off when starting to the extent another warning appears saying oil is low but that then turns off after about 30-40sec of it starting. It was always been slow to turn the oil pressure light...
Need to get a new crank shaft sensor as I think this is causing the starting and cutting out issues on my Ph1 172, or at least the first thing I am changing.
Was going to get this sensor 8200647554 and the updated loom 8200673202
Now this is the updated sensor and loom - will this fit my Ph1...
