    Making a proper job of polishing!?

    Yeah it's mark free, only done 60miles so far and that was just driving it back from the dealer... Just want to keep it that way for as long as possible, don't mind investing some time/money in to the stuff to do it properly, but I'm clueless with it all. Also reading about this supaguard on...

    Making a proper job of polishing!?

    Hi!!! Not been on here for a while, i've just picked up this... The ly Clio is now gone :( Anyway, I know you boys are well in to your detailing etc... I've had a read through but I'm baffled and need advice. I want to spend some time protecting the paint on it (it's brand new, had some...

    Removing gearbox from the top guide?

    I can't see that myself either, but have also been told its doable

    Went through Puddle Car wont Start again!

    Try replacing the crank sensor if not change the engine ?!? That's good advice!! Get it looked at mate, will be much cheaper than aimlessly throwing parts at something that could end up being scrap, it sounds hydraulic to me, as has been said, you'd need to take the spark plugs out and see if...

    Aircon oil

    Yep, from experience oil quantity isn't particularly important (being overfilled I mean, obviously too little is bad)

    Worst Modification?

    I'm sure it's been mentioned.. But people with 4 door fiestas arranging "cruises" around shopping centres and similar.. That annoys me. Not knocking 4door fiesta ownership.. But covering it in stickers and halfords accessories does not make it a race car.. Surely they are embarrassed to be doing...

    Blue interior!

    I don't think ph1 door cards match the shape of the end of the dash, and the window switches are a horrible shape compared to the ph2.. I'd get the proper ph2 cards... The rest should fit

    re : creaking noise at low speeds

    More than likely anti roll bar inner bushes... They dry out and crack making a creak over bumps

    EML on - MOT due soon

    Read absorb learn a shitty Internet link that could have been written by a moron. I'm a tester too, and can confirm that it's not a fail yet.. Vosa haven't told us when it will be either. As far as I can work out the engine management light will Never be a failure item DESPITE all the flyers...

    MOT Failure.. Help pleaaase!

    That won't have anything to do with the parking brake though.. Must have a problem if that's recording no effort. Parking brake is the handbrake, so cable operated and not effected by the load valve

    How to remove seized rear discs and bearings?

    Just to add to that.. You only have to cut down one side of the disc preferably in line with the wheel bolt holes.. Then wedge a chisel in the cut and it will split in two ;)

    c**t in a 172 cutting the whole cue j4 m40 6:10pm

    I tend to agree! If 50% of the population thought like us the que or cue if you like would be half the length ;)

    How to remove seized rear discs and bearings?

    I'd love to expand on that but that is about the size of it lol. If they got that hot to bubble the paint on the wheel, they have probably friction welded to the stub axles.. You could get them off by breaking the disc and bearing up until your left with the inner races of the bearing then...

    Changing a CV joint, driveshaft still attached?

    It won't be a balljoint (definately) I would say that can only be driveshaft related.. In my opinion its most likely to be an outer cv joint so by that logic the other side you havn't done.. Unlikely to be an inner joint being affected by steering like that. When they wear enough to cause play...

    Changing a CV joint, driveshaft still attached?

    That's gonna be real hard to guess at without seeing it. Where abouts in Essex are you?

    Exhaust is cold.

    Surely it's got some sort of running fault or lack of power??? And the exhaust isn't blowing?
  17. ditz

    ECU power voltages. RED light solid issues. lots of checks already carried out!

    Not read all of this admittedly.. But does it crank and just not fire? Also where abouts are you mate?

    Phase 1 speedo to run off abs sensor, how ?

    Someone told me it can be done via a setting on clip

    MOT : Will EML mean a fail? (Not as retarded as it sounds!)

    Well I had a special notice on the mot system a few days ago saying the "bedding in period" had been extended ie the fails that were due to come in to effect on the 1st of april are postponed until further notice as testers are still getting used to all the new items. So pass and advise.. But...

    MOT : Will EML mean a fail? (Not as retarded as it sounds!)

    No.. The engine management light is not a fail. Airbag light is, but not yet.. Still in what they call a bedding in period.

    Changing a CV joint, driveshaft still attached?

    Yeah that sounds like the sort that wants seperating, if it is that sort it won't whack off you'll be hitting it forever.. Best to buy some proper pliers to separate them.. Imagine long nose pliers with the outer edges ground flat and the surfaces serrated to stop it slipping off.. Dead easy...

    Changing a CV joint, driveshaft still attached?

    And yes it would probably last longer than the car clicking aslong as grease is still in there.. We have a little skoda runaround we use at work and that's been clicking the 15 years it's been there lol

    Changing a CV joint, driveshaft still attached?

    I do it on the car.. You have to check what sort of clip holds the joint on though, some are smack off and some have a circlip that you have to open out then just pull it off. The second type are very awkward!! You have to feel round with your finger where the edge of the joint meets the spline...

    Fault Self Diagnosis - Confirmation?

    Looking at that list of faults, I'd be suspecting a supply voltage fault to those components.. First check would be get on a wiring diagram and see where the I'd imagine 5v feed comes from and try to figure out if loosing it would be a possibility. It won't be lambda. Those who said it sounds...

    Brake Based Badness

    The sliders a good shout actually, it's normally a case of heat to free them off good clean and re grease.. I'd actually say that's most likely if you've noticed no other symptoms

    A fairly simple mpg question

    See I've never even seen 250.. Think I'll Just order a lambda for what they cost.. Looked a bit grotty when I was last under it

    Brake Based Badness

    Not really, just shake side to side up down etc etc and any general play is an issue, movement between the disc and caliper bracket if it did have play would cause your issue.. Front or rear!

    A fairly simple mpg question

    There are hundreds of mpg threads, but as I stated in my post they didn't interest me.. So I pay my membership to get the answers I want :) Seems quite accurate to me, always full it up when it gets to same point.. Admittedly there will be some variation but an average was all I'm after.. I...

    A fairly simple mpg question

    I thought it was a bit low, I've had various 172's before this but this is the first one I've ever really paid any attention on, so nothing to compare to! Another thing to investigate :(

    A fairly simple mpg question

    I have had a search and quite surprised I can't find what I'm after.. How many miles on average are people getting to a tank on a 182? Found loads of mpg figures but I don't particularly enjoy maths and miles to a tank is a bit more of a practical figure imo. Mine struggles to get 240 miles on a...
