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...

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...

This happened literally doing a u turn in the road, never hit anything, no bumps, nothing.. Can honestly say I've never seen any driveshaft snap there before, it's not even particularly stressed, it's only holding the bearing together! The casting is flawed looking at it, to say ive lost faith...

One for the clever boys ;) Have a 1.2 16v (the early one, ecu on the back of inlet) in at the moment.. Haven't really gone through it yet but had a quick look.. It's a non start, won't crank or do anything other than a relay in the engine fuse box buzzes and goes mad. I determined that it was an...

Basically, it looks as though the flange where the manifold bolts to the cat, the holes where the bolts go through have corroded and enlarged enough to let one of them pull through? I always thought the manifolds were made out of fairy decent steel!? Never seen one like that before.. If so what...

Gone and bought another one, this is my 4th one now.. still think the converted one i did was the best.. should never have sold it.. but this comes pretty close :D

few decent bits in here, few may be a niche market ;) but may be of some interest thanks for looking! http://shop.ebay.co.uk/ron0889/m.html?_dmd=1&_ipg=50&_sop=12&_rdc=1 also got a complete ph1 172 front end/skirts etc going on there very cheap soon

I need 2x tie rods, 2x track rod ends and 2 lower ball joints for my ph2 172 on an 02 plate.. I have not checked Renault, assuming they are available... Firstly does anybody know Renault prices, but most importantly are there any pattern options available? Obviously not cheap qh s**t.. Any...

does such a thing exist? i broke my home made effort today (after god knows how many uses) and rather than trying to weld it back together i quite fancy a proper looking bit of kit,, if it does exist,, part numbers? found one in the snap-on/ast catalouge,, but it looks the wrong shape :S...

what i basically want to do,, is convert my ph2,, to ph1 management. BUT i want to keep everything functioning as it did before, so obviously im going to have to modify the ph2 engine loom to make everything match up (not a problem as i have a complete ph1 donor car) now what im wondering...

Right,, basically i fitted some cams to a mates 172 a few months ago.. they were a cat cams missmatched set he bought from somebody off here (somebody may remember them?) i cant for the life of me remember which where which but anyway.. i fitted them (and before anyone says it cam timing as...

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/merchant/performancetrim im going to buy a set from these people,, seem decent enough price wise.. now, question is.. for the front ones where the handle bolts to it, do they just bolt straight on flush? only i've seen i think it was batmans old car he had plastic...

finally got the new wheels bolted on. considering its on 1.2 running gear still the 30 offset fills the wide archers surprisingly well. question is it could do with 10mm spacers on the front, but cant find any in hubcentric?? are these still relatively safe as i would have thought the spigot...

for some reason i've always liked the idea of starter buttons in cars.. dont know why just like it. BUT.. i hate with a passion things on a dashboard that look blatently added on ie a big red starter button. was under the dash doing some wiring today anyway,, and while i was there i came up...
