    Urgent!

    Currently swapping my shocks for 200 cup ones and I've removed the bolt from the back of the hub/bottom of the strut but had to really smash it to get it to come out and now the ends bent over and I can't get the nut on. Tried to hack saw a mm or so off it but it's been a real pain and I don't...

    How to get your radio code free

    Ok so thought this might be helpful for some. I recently had to acquire my radio code and was reluctant to pay. I found a handy iPhone app called "Code Autoradio For Renault". It's a free app, in French but it's still obvious what you have to do. Input your 4-digit security code from the side...

    Powerflex ARB bushes...

    As posted last week I got myself a 200 cup ARB, was supposed to fit this weekend but ended up working so didn't get chance. Anyway, I digress... Is it worth changing the bushes for powerflex ones while I'm on, or just new OEM rubber ones? I've tried to find a definitive answer online as to...

    Manifold, dampers and ARB

    Ok thanks, I'll start with the shocks and may possible do the ARB depending on time. Final query I swear ;) Are 18v battery impact drivers any good for rusty/seized bolts? I've baught a hex adaptor for sockets to use on my impact driver, should help get them out in theory?

    Yeah, well I can get it to come on with the key on the slot and hold the buttons for 5 seconds or so... I'm sure it wasn't like that before... Is anybody else's the same way?

    Manifold, dampers and ARB

    Got myself some new 200 cup dampers, 200 cup ARB, and new exhaust manifold. Will it be too big of a task to fit all this in one day? Am I being optimistic? Do you have to drop the entire subframe out to carry all this out? Thanks in advance, hoping to do it Saturday but may just do part of it...

    Went to reset my service indicator this evening and I can't view my trip computer with the engine switched off... is this normal, never really noticed before but was sure just tapping the start button without the brake or clutch pedal pressed brought the trip computer up? Could be wrong and...

    Cup springs and dampers

    Yeah I've been looking, looks as though the newer top mounts are smaller and a triangular shape, whereas the the 197/early 200 mounts are round on the edges and larger. Unfortunately for me, these have the small triangle shaped mounts... very upset haha! No way of making the dampers fit the old...
