Look on the forum for "near side knock" the noise can also be the bottom ball joints or lower arm rear bush or the top mount on the front shock. Look for a pothole and get the work paid for, I don't know about availability but the front steering rack comes complete with inner and outer track rod...

The resistor drops the power to the fan so it turns at a lower speed the relay overrides that with full power high speed fan. Good that you don't have to worry about fixing it, but it seems now like you have a better (easier) problem that needs fixed. Forget the wiring at the moment so it's...

To test the high speed fan is easy start the car pop the fuse box lid left of the battery box the Purple relay pull it out short between the two marked spade holes brings the fan on full speed use something like pointed Pliers that will be the fan tested.

Well if you are going that far you would be better with performance cam shafts and get some real gains.

You might have bought a problem engine car keep that in mind. 1. Why was the radiator changed. 2. Was it changed to a new one or a used one, the forward radiator is the air con and the rear is the water. 3. 3/4 mark is way too hot for a 197 and a warning message is way too much as well, the...

There is a cam locking tool and both cams are level, there is a group N timing tool for the 182 Clio that I think advances the exhaust but the map has to match. I have never seen a 197 group N timing tool. Video of a 182 timing belt change they guy uses the group N tool for it after adding 197 cams

Amazon keycards are £14 ready to program but you will not have an emergency key blade just a blank that will need cut. I have the equipment to program such keycards and have done so as a spare but to buy the equipment will be more expensive, benefits future diagnostics. I think a key blade is...

Get the error code before you turn the car off. Your wasting time and money guessing

No just joking

You can pick me up at the airport when I fly in for the World superbikes at Philip island next week.

Real life pictures if you use a multimeter and check for continuity between either pin and ground then thats your short.

The horn gets it's earth (negative) from the engine bay so the steering wheel control interrupts the live feed only so if you get 12Volts at the steering wheel you are getting a ground signal from a short in the wiring. Your options are this: 1. Short in the horn itself. 2. Short in the wiring...

Yea I would like to see what a normal LS diff is like, I would not be really interested on doing track days as such but I would still be able to take advantage of it, the heat shield was altered for the 832 engines in the 200 models. I took a run to the last tack day 2025 at Kirkstown as they...

I was all set to head down to Mondello for that first track day, but the weather was so bad with heavy rain that it wouldn’t have been any fun standing around hoping most people showed up. For the car, get a Clio 200 heat shield—it has a leg that bolts to the engine to keep it from slipping. In...
