    Check emissions + exhaust popping a lot

    Video here. Check emissions light on dashboard and exhaust sounds a lot louder than usual, popping and banging a lot more than before dash light. My guess is faulty lambda sensor throwing out readings causing overfuelling? Now I know there are two lambda sensors pre and post cat IIRC one of...

    Refitting OEM exhaust after being cut off

    Cars going back to finance company and I'll be damned if they take my Miltek, so I'm going to stick the OEM one back on. Due to the old one having to be cut to be taken off, how do you refit it? does it need welding back up, or is there some sort of slightly larger metal pipe you can attach it...

    197: Spotted 9/4/17 in Ashton-under-lyne snipe car park

    Blue 197, I parked next to you in my white 200, yours looked lovely and so clean I felt ashamed of mine :tearsofjoy: Got all excited and had to take a cheeky pic or two... Had a 197.net sticker so I'm pretty sure it was someone on here :french:

    Creatine Monohydrate

    Done quite a lot of research on it, but I'm curious on whether or not anyone on here has used it before/after a resistance workout and what their thoughts are on it. I've ordered some that's been delivered so will try it for my workout today but from what I can tell there's a 'loading' period...

    New Mazda MX5 RF

    Mazda MX5 RF. Now I have to say, I absolutely love the rear of this car, there's just something about it! Similar weight to the Clio (bit lighter) so I imagine the handling would be similar, but imagine going for a drive in it with the roof down :hearteyes: (which is hard-top automatic folding...

    Little bit windy today...

    Somehow didn't hit that car on the left, was literally 2/3cm away from it. Had to take a different route home :tearsofjoy:

    Anybody got a spare 31 grand?

    Its a really nice car, but it's definitely not what I'd be buying if I had 31 grand to spare :tearsofjoy:

    200: White insert projectors?

    Did Renault ever make any of these? Any pictures I've seen of the Projector headlights for the 200 always have the black inserts, I want some but I'm not a fan and prefer the white inserts. Anybody know? :think:

    Loose gear stick

    My gear stick is pretty loose, I can move it forward and backward about 2cm before there's any resistance and left and right about 1cm before there's any resistance. Didn't used to be like this, and I think it's related to when one of the gear linkage clips on top of the gearbox came off. Both...

    Sump guard/engine under tray

    When I was fitting lower engine mount inserts I noticed I didn't have the plastic sump guard/engine under tray (unsure on its actual name). It's the plastic bit that covers the bottom of the engine. Question is, is it necessary to have one? Seen a few posts on another forum saying they're a...

    Mayo in PCV valve

    Decided to take my PCV valve off and give it a clean before I bought a new one as it's doing that annoying squeaking noise when the engines cold. Once I took it off I noticed 'mayo' around the PCV valve and inside the tube. Now I know this happens water mixes with engine oil... and I'm...

    4th or 5th for 30MPH??

    So I've always driven in 4th when cruising along at 30, but I noticed that the car seems to be able to handle it in 5th with no issues (this may only apply to the later gearboxes with different ratios). My car only tells me my average fuel consumption, so it's hard to tell which one is actually...

    Locking wheel nuts - get rid?

    Want to replace all bolts with some black ones as they're starting to rust, but the bloody locking wheel nut sticks out like a sore thumb... Anybody remove them and replace with standard bolts? I know this means someone could easily come along and steal the alloys but I've not heard of this...

    Squeegee blades

    Anybody use one of these things to aid drying the car? If so what's your opinion on it? Tempted to get one as I used my mates the other week and it was so helpful for drying the car off quicker, but heard it can cause scratches.
