    Brake fluid for normal use

    Afternoon all, I'm after some recommendations on brake fluid for normal use. I'm probably not going to track the car so motul rbf600 is probably a little high spec. Any suggestions would be brill. Chris

    I am a naughty naughty boy

    Low entry jacks are the greatest thing ever. I inherited my old mans jack which is a 3 ton jobby, awful for the clio!!! For that price I may invest.

    I can believe it, thanks for the advice mate, looking back it always seems to be you who pulls out the answer!

    Ended up being the crank position sensor, although when I took it out it had been taken out by something. My guess is one of the fingers from then pressure plate which is now rattling inside the bell housing. Engine is almost out as I'm going to do my cam belt at the same time.

    Cam belt and timing looks fine tonight, I'm getting fuel to the block so not fuel pump, I'm guessing tdc sensor might be to blame, so going to get a cam kit and sensor and see how we get on, right laugh!!

    Are there any timing marks to line up the two cams with? I can only see one dot on front cam. I don't have a pressure gauge to do a compression test with right now.

    Yup, still plenty of tension in it. That's the belt on the rhs of the block that you can see isn't it??

    Nope, neither have been changed, thats why my initial thoughts were the belt has gone.

    Clio Won't Start

    So took her out for a little drive at the weekend. I came into a national speed limit and took it all the way up in second and third. At the top of third, I heard a bang and immediately thought I've snapped my belt so I pulled over and switched the engine off. Before I turned the engine off, I...

    No more subway :(

    I can't see the logic in this decision. Has there been increasing pressure from islamic followers on subway to deliver this change? Are subway trying to extend their market share to include muslim folowers? Either way there is a hell of a lot of negative press about this issue, I don't see how...

    Removing centre silencer......how loud?

    I'm looking at doing this to my non standard cat back for extra noise. Do I sleeve over the old pipe or butt up to it and use exhaust clamps?

    Told my boss to shove it after 14yrs :(

    My point is, just because it's in a contract, doesn't mean it's legally binding. It's all circumstantial isn't it and for it to be enforced would mean going to court.

    Told my boss to shove it after 14yrs :(

    I have a similar thing in mine that's says I'm not allowed to work for a competitor, I suppose to protect their intellectual property but it's not really enforceable. Customers are fair game though, just because it's drafted by a lawyer, doesn't mean it would stand up in court. A little bit...

    Told my boss to shove it after 14yrs :(

    Sounds like scare tactics that to be honest mate, your old employer can't tell you what to do once you've left. If your missus was to leave and set up by herself, its all fair game :)

    Heartbleed virus

    I'm hoping there is a little more to it, but what I won't be doing, is speaking to my illustrious I.T department about it tomorrow. That my friend, would be a mistake.

    Wanting one of these but not willing to part nearly 300 quid so waiting for one to appear second hand.
