Morning guys, I've just spotted my old car up for sale on Autotrader (dealers website link below) http://www.tanyardmotors.co.uk/used-RENAULT-CLIO-Worsley-Manchester-490614 If you do go to look at it, be aware of the following things it needs: 3 wheels need a refurb There was a dent in the...

I know this won't meet much approval around these parts, but the Clio is gone and now sitting in its place is this obviously very different to the clio, but awesome none the less! bring on more power!

As above really, does anyone happen to either know the length or have any old ones to hand they could measure (long shot I know!) ecp list the cables, but I need to check they will be right before buying them. If no one knows I'll take mine off in the morning and check. chris

So, I stripped and rebuilt my front calipers earlier this year including new piston seals etc but now the rears need doing, they are sticking quite badly and one of the pistons is very difficult to wind back in. ive ordered the rebuild kit, but have no idea how they come apart, has anyone else...

So, went along to the cliosport rr day today, mine made 181bhp, Lewis made 193bhp. my car has done a fair few miles 71k, plugs haven't been changed for about 3 years and I'm using a second hand air filter that I've never cleaned. Could any of these be the cause of mine being slightly down on...

Spotted a Storm Grey 200 early yesterday afternoon @ Castle retail park in Nottingham. Grabbed a cheeky quick pic (mine's in the background)! I spotted a forum sticker in the window too.

Ok, so for the second time this year my wife's car has been run into. You might recall a neighbour hit it whilst trying to park in the snow early this year. This time we get rear end shunted at 15-20mph by some tool not looking what he's doing. We are both fine and the car looks ok from the...

So, we just exchanged on out new house completion is next Friday (16th) Here's where we've bought! It was the garage that sold it to me due to it being 3.9m wide. The decor, carpets, main bathroom etc will all be changed in the next few weeks so ignore all that! It is on the next street to us...

Ok, so I ordered the full set of tools to do the timing belt on my car this weekend, parcel just arrived and I'm missing the cam pulley locking tool. I have the extended cog needed but not the main tool. does anyone in the midlands have this tool available that I could borrow today or...

So, as long as my parts turn up from Steve I will be doing my belts this weekend. But before I plough in and crack on I just want to check something RE the waterpump. How is the pump sealed? Is it a gasket (if so, does it come with the pump) or do I need some sealant? I did a search but I...

Hi all, I know there are multiple threads on this, but this is a thread of a different nature. I'm not lookign for a fix (i'vre read and tried all the fixes!) When reading a lot of the threads, the words 'ATE super blue' crop up very often. Initial finds appear as though this squeeky...

Epic weekend walk So last weekend I went up to Ben Nevis, we drove up Saturday, walked on Sunday and drove back (via Loch Ness) on Monday. We (me, father in law and brother in law) walked up Ben Nevis via the Carn Mor Dearg (CMD) Arete, full route here...

So, my wife can only use one hand due to her stroke. She has modifications to her car to allow one handed driving, however it has just occured that if the steering lock is on then she struggles to take it off again. She is very careful not to engage it when she parks up, but last night I...

Ok, so my insurance is up for renewal 2nd June. My renewal has come through from my current insurer and I'm pleasantly suprised by the price. I'm with E-Sure, last year I paid about £370 and this years renewal is £328.77. It breaks down as follows: Motor premium after deducting 7 years NCB =...

Hi all, Has anyone ascended Ben Nevis by the Carn Mor Dearg Arete? I'm going in 4 weeks, on 18th may. How much snow should we expect there to be at that time? (I understand it's difficult to predict, but worth asking!) Ive done Snowdon via Crib Goch, so apart from the potential cold and snow...

So, a 17" wheel.... Where abouts are they 17"? Is it the diameter of the bead where the tyre sits?

Here was this weekend project, I'm just writing a 'how to' which will be up later this evening. For now here is some before/afters Before, lots of chips in the paint and ruined dust seals After, better paint and new seals Ignore the budget tyre!! Keep an eye...

Anyone know what the thread size is on the brembo calipers? I'm on about where the brake hose bolts to. I want to thread a bolt into them whilst off the car so they don't spill fluid everywhere. Actually whilst I think about it, what thread are the bleed nipples? Cheers guys.

So, has anyone ever stripped the Brembo calipers? I'm planning on stripping them down this coming weekend to replace the dust seals and piston seals as well as repainted them and change to some ATE super blue fluid. I've read some guides and seen some videos, seems easy enough. Anyone ever...

For a full change? Will 1l be enough or shall I pick up 2 just to be safe?
