    We'll after much fun. I've got the majority of the ball joint off. All except the pinch bolt. I have new bolts in the lot so not worried. I finally removed the nut on the punch bolt.

    Variable idle speed?

    Can you change the idle speed of the clio with relative ease? If not, how is the idle speed sensed and controlled? ECU and an idle sensor? Basically I will soon have a pretty big load on my engine, even though it's stationary. I risk stalling my engine, so currently will have to hold my foot...

    Crank pulley - auxilary belt

    Ok, Can you swap a crank pulley for a different one (different number of ribs). Or are they not just a bolt on job and are different fitments? Basically I have poverty model 1.2 and it's only got a 3 rib belt (for just the alt). Now I know there's larger sizes out there (6rib maybe?) Can I...

    Clutch gone, worth doing cambelt?

    So my clutch has started slipping, so I know I need to get that changed. As it's an engine out job, is it worth getting the cambelt done at the same time to save me some money, cambelt is due... Or would there be very little price difference in having them done separately?

    Voltage of the Central locks?

    I need to know if anyone knows the peak voltage of the supply to the locks on the central locking circuit. I dont have a peak hold. So my multimeter just flashes +10 and -10v (locking and unlocking uses +ve and -ve). I'm guessing it's just on a relay and kick out whatever battery v is. Can...

    Steering wheel control

    Not the usual question ;). Anyone know much about the working of these? I mean i know they're a mini yellow iso connector. However what system does it run on? Is it just a series of switches (my suspicion is it isn't), which it just joins or breaks to send a signal. Or is it I-Bus? Or...

    My one rear seatbelt is around the incorrect way.I'm bloody sure it is. Is this possible? Can you put the rear left seatbelt onto the right side? As it has just a single 180degree twist in it. Do they fit one to the other as in left will fit right and right fit left?
