So after a brief chat with Jade at Scorpion exhausts I have some of the newest centre pipe replacement sections on offer for the RS192 exhaust. A bit of history, I bought mine in July 2012 so nearly 2 years old, but has been blowing on the centre section for some time where a weld had cracked...

Hi Guys, after been quoted £100 for a compression test (clio 182), after being messed around this morning I have decided that this is a job I should more than likely be able to complete myself, apparently it would have taken them 1 and a half hours to do the test, which seemed wholley excessive...

Hello experts ! Had an Auxillary belt change 4 months ago with the intention of not keeping the car long enough to warrant Cambelt change, aux was slipping a bit when cold and damp (whiney noise) on startup so had it changed on precaution (135k) miles. Did oil change 2 weeks ago. Circumstances...

Clipped a kerb this morning, totally my own bloody fault, alarm didn't go off, rushed to get ready, bit sleepy when driving and mis-judged a kerb stone when going round a corner of a rural road. Hit the kerb side on, like if I had slowly inched into it with the wheel parallel to the edge of the...

Haha right lets be serious! Say if im in 2nd and back off moderately accelerating per se if you were exiting a junction I can here a sqeak from under the car, this might also happen in 3 and 4th. Theres no clunking noises so I don't think its an engine mount issue ( bit of movement in engine...

Hello chaps... Under the impression that the dephaser will need changing at some point as I dont think its been done with the cambelt but it doesnt sound nearly half as bad as some of the youtube videos you hear but I digress... When slowly revving the engine (from warm) to around 4000rpm and...

As you can see by the picture below...(just below the green wires) there is a bolt missing from this silver rod that comes off around the alternator and then attaches to the engine block. Would like to bolt this back together to secure everything back up! Thankings in advance...
