    What bit is replaced on rear brake lines when going braided, line off the caliper?

    MOT failed on corroded rear lines on the part that comes directly off the caliper and is bonded on to another line. From what he said I don't think this is the part that would be replaced by braided lines but I'm not sure?

    Powerflex bushes from K-Tec no choices for difference between cup and non cup sizes?

    http://www.k-tecracing.com/show_product.asp?id=1199&appid=2 I notice K-Tec don't have the option to choose between the cup and non cup size powerflex bushes like Kam Racing do. Safe to assume K-Tec are selling the cup size bushes?

    What's the best way to fix this scrape?

    Does it need a respray of the whole bumper to match properly or can it be partly done, there's also some similar damage right on the edge of the wheelarch that isn't in this pic. I considered smart repair but consensus seems to be they will be crap? Neighbour that did it is paying but not...

    Why is my dealer asking for about £85+vat for front springs? Shouldn't they be less?

    Searching Cliosport tells me they should be about £45+vat so why is my local dealer so much more expensive for front cup springs?

    What is the latest rstuner map and is it worth upgrading?

    From the details when connecting I have found I am running software version 8200 and calibration version 7804 which must be at least 18 months old. The website doesn't have the range of maps listed like it used to so I don't know how out of date mine is. Is there a newer version and if there...

    I know they're different but how do I know I'm about to buy the right ones? Need a new set of wheel nuts for my winter steelies but I can only find picks of the alloy wheel nuts with the big 60mm collar or whatever it is. What do the steel ones look like?

    Should my exhaust sound like this at idle? (video)

    It's a scorpion rs 192 and the car is running rstuner map. It had the same map on the standard exhaust but didn't seem to run like this at idle although the scorpion is maybe just more free flowing so you couldn't hear it before. Just sounds a bit rough to me, reminds me of my old 1.6 when...

    Where is the idle valve and how can I test if it is working properly?

    about 50% of the time when I start my car from cold for about 20 secs it will rev from 1000 to about 1500 over and over again like someone is blipping the throttle before settling down to usual cold idle around 1000rpm. Wondering if it is idle control valve on its way out? Only seems to happen...

    I can't decide if my exhaust is leaking or not

    Right, when i first got the car the cat to centre pipe connection had a leak at the clamp which was then fixed. Then the cat to manifold connection went so was leaking again and has now been replaced with new fitting kit. But I just can't decide if there is still a leak somewhere or not, it...

    My alarm sometimes beeps 3 times after I've locked it?

    It doesn't always do it and only started doing it in the last week or so. I thought it was if I hadn't quite shut the door properly but decided it can't be. Any ideas? Standard renault alarm btw

    Whats the little black lump under the nearside wingmirror for?

    I can't work out the point of it. There isn't one on the offside so it isn't anything to do with the heating or the electrical adjustment?

    New core plug during cam and aux belt change?

    Got cam and aux belt kits changed today and I've got a core plug and plug on the bill. I assumed there were cam seals? But after googling all I can find about core plugs is they are in the block so they are popped out if your coolant freezes. So what are they? Part numbers are R77 00 106...

    Should I only use 98ron with rstuner remap?

    So obviously the .cal file actually has 98ron in the name but what does it mean. Does the car perform slightly better on it because the map is optimised for it or does it need it to run properly? Am I going to be causing it to not run right because I'm using standard 95ron fuel?
