rain

For the past few months I have had an issue with the battery draining even though brand new. The alternator is new (recon) so I can only assume something is draining it when the car is left off overnight? There has been an ongoing fault for some time which I can never find the route cause of...

As above, braintree free port last night...It could do with a clean :) lol Had the club sticker in the back window.

My nearside cv joint is getting a bit worn and knocks under hard accleration now. I know if you remove the nearside driveshaft it loses all the gearbox oil so will drain it before i remove it. Just want to know where the drain plug is and the filler point too? Also what oil is used for this...

The RV Mirror glass in my 182 is really crappy so Ive got a replacement coming, Ive had a look/search at removing my old mirror doesnt look easy with the sensor there as the mirror mount slides up. How do you remove the sensor so I can slide the mirror off? Really want to get this right as I...

I attempted the Ibuprofen gel fix earlier which failed due to the gel back being slightly delaminated from the actual sensor. As a last ditch attempt, I tried removing the gel back, and sandwiching it with ibuprofen on both sides which seems to give reasonable optical clarity - no air bubbles...

Can anyone help? Previous to my ownership the T has had Rain X on the windscreen and it's starting to smear. I've washed and clayed but no joy... Do I need some form of solvent to get rid perhaps? Can anyone recommend anything, I want to Gtechniq it at some point. ​Cheers

Had A very very wet track evening session at Cadwell on Tuesday; 3x Speed to try fit most of the session in. Was overtaking everything on track, think the only car to pass me was a dark red mk1 clio (seemed to pull well, F4R'd?) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6_ImnNrhFzs Someone running out...

See you just as I was turning off I was in a white clio campus

Black 182 on a120 came past me in my van going some!

I've got a couple of issues with my mums 197 at the moment, the EML popped up on the dash last week, I took it to the local garage and they ran a diagnostic and gave us this report. The garage cleared this codes and the car seems to run fine. Meanwhile whenever the car is left standing for...

​We invite you to join us for the first of our South East training events in 2013, on the 19th May at SL Restoration in Gatwick. The day will be focused around the fundamentals of detailing, from in-depth wash processes right through to machine polishing, getting hands on with as much or as...

I just cannot get on with the rainsports, I don't imagine all the hype is for nothing so what am I doing wrong? I've got a pair of 195/45/16 XL on a stock 182. I've got a pair of T1R's about half worn on the other two wheels. I started off with the Uniroyals on the front at around 35psi and...

Clean car + nice weather + new lenses = ​:cool:

Hi..im getting battery drain on my clio so i take it to the garage and they run some tests on it..they say its the alternator. So everytime i finish a trip i take the 60amp fuse out from under the bonnet to temporary cure the battery drain problem and get them to whack another alternator in...

Love one in this colour...

A grey 172, cup spoiler, yellow details (looked gorgeous btw) coming out of Skegness. A bean and a monaco in Burgh-le-marsh. Also a black 'sport' heading towards Skegness with a LY 197 (with grey decals) not far behind. ​All of which made me feel guilty as they were so clean looking and mine is...

Sorry to have to introduce myself through a thread like this, but my clio just aint right at the moment! :( My name is Ben, living in Kent, owner of a 2001 bluey silver (the rare colour apparently) ph1 Clio Sport. Love the car, but not used to the amount of problem it presents me with (I used...

nice looking motor you have! thanks for the wave and smile too!

What's the best way to get a drain in whilst using a ph1 drive shaft, just run a threaded an10 90 degree bend and tap the sump? Ideally I want the drain vertically below the turbo? Or is it necessary I run a 182 shaft?

nothing like giving clio drivers a bad name !! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkL5USpsDQ4

About 8:10 this morning

I was driving this morning and my service light came on saying "Check emissions". When I got to work I plugged my OBD scanner in and the following code came up: P0130 - Powertrain 02 Sensor Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1) I cleared the fault code but it came back up, leading me to believe there's an...

Just wondering what other people do (who have an oil cooler fitted). I have a 19 row core mounted behind the front grill to the bottom of the front beam (infront of the alternator). The lines run horizontally to the right of the engine and up past the gearbox to the sandwich plate.

Around 4 pm, seen quite a few RS today :)

I have a fault code on my airbag ECU I cannot get rid of: "DF165 Restraint System Malfunction WarnLight (Remote Diagnostic)" Any ideas?

I've just ordered a full set of Rainsports to stick on my standard wheels, they currently have Hankook V12's fitted and they've been really good. Just wondered if anyone else has moved from V12's to Rainsports or vice verser and noticed any differences?

Welll fixed the exhaust, fixed the gearboxmount. ..and now the engine runs s**t when cold.......lambda right? Checked the wiring was good and plugged in all was fine. The Torque (android app) faultreader gives bank 1 sensor 1 error that is the pre cat one right? Looking up the error on the web...

As title, reg plate DN51 V**

Anybody else find that they are really poor in the snow? I have a set on the 182 with plenty of tread left. I know that they are technically classed as a 'summer tyre'.
