Tidied up a few bits and pieces on this over winter. Mostly just painted a few parts and cleaned it. Had my first attempt at some machine polishing with this and its came up pretty good I feel. Theres still plenty small scratches in places but I dont think my polish had enough cut to remove them...
Thanks for all the kind words folks.
Not on a ramp, currently got the back jacked up and having a check about. Its looking good so far. Brake lines are a bit scabby, so might have to replace them soon. Also found that its poly bushed all on the back, so hopefully front is the same.
Aye the...
Finally bought myself an evo! Been dreaming of owning a 6 for about 2 years now! Its in really good condition, nice and clean underneath. Sure it has the usual stonechips etc, but its really good for 15years old. Id rather have one thats not completely mint anyway, so you dont have to feel...
Right, I had bucket seats and an omp wheel in the clio but now its MOT time, so its all back to standard but airbag light is stuck on.
Put it to ex-renault garage, now owned by Arnold Clark, to get the airbag light off. They are telling me I need a new steering wheel to put the light out which...
Ok so had a look for the proper thing and found these:

Does anyone know if its possible to find coilover nuts anywhere seperately? One of my b14 nuts has cross threaded, so now im kind of stuck! Iv had a search on google, but not seen anything suitable!
Thanks
Loving the progress. Its going to be mint when finished! Just dont sell this one!
Where did you find your brake caliper kit? I cant seem to find one that comes with the pins as well.
Whats the benefits and or consequences of disconnecting the egr valve? What does the egr valve even do?
Ok ill give the pipe a clean. How would you check if its boosting properly? Im a complete noob to diesels and turbos as you can probably tell lol. First of either iv ever owned!
Thanks for...
Thanks for that scrooge, will have a look at that.
Ah ok, is the map sensor the one at the top? or is that maf? Where is the other one? I havn't tried with the egr valve unplugged. Would that run better if it wasnt working properly? Thanks
Is the MAF another name for a MAP sensor? The one that attaches to the top right of the airbox? Thats the one I unplugged anyway. Its worse than my friends dci, but its better than what mine was before!
Where can I find acess to the strainer? From the top or underneath?
Thanks for the help! Tried that but egr valve was ok. Unplugged the map sensor and it runs better, so ordered a new one and will fit that.
I have also noticed that there is air in the fuel lines. I had a look at a friends dci 65 and it has much less air in the lines. We bled the filter numerous...
Hi all, I have a 2003 clio dci 65 which has a serious lack of power just now. It struggles to do 60 on the flat and when it hits a hill at full throttle in 4th or 5th it will just die down to about 50. Went to overtake an artic lorry on a crawler lane the other day and it ended up pulling away...
Looking for some polybushes for my 182 without cup pack suspension. What sizes will i need? I am looking to purchase cup wishbones in the future if that is going to make a difference?
Thanks for any help
Yeah, you can hear the turbo boosting. I havent seen any smoke from the back of it though.
Could the turbo actuator be the problem? It wont move the wastegate when it is bolted into place on the turbo, however when the actuator is unbolted from the turbo the wastegate moves. Could this be...
I have a dci 65 and it has a serious problem regarding acceleration. I know its only a 65, but it is so much worse than when i first got it! Vans and trucks can have more takeoff than it!
It will struggle to go more than 60 accelerating uphill foot to the floor in 5th. Doing that for too long...
I have fitted some bucket seats to my clio, but now i cant get the airbag light to go out. I have fitted some 3.3ohm resistors which after reading on here were supposed to be the correct ones?
I have fitted the 4 of them to the airbag wires and the seat pre tensioners. That should put out the...
Thanks man, do you miss it even more now? :rasp: I do love the seats a lot. Getting out of them in a crowded car park can be a bit undignified but nevermind! They more than make up for that. How you getting on with your RS?
I see, it dried up pretty quick though, got the r888's on for about an hour and a half. You think so? Its just a KTR decat with no centre silencer. Although I would love some itbs on it! Was that the white one? I never really heard it, but it went really well! I would love one of them as my next...
