    Cliofest 2025

    Weve been to Cliofest, Blyton, a couple times a few year back. Always enjoyable, but the circuit was more boring (imo) than Anglesey- just a big square really, so it encourages participants to be more adventurous (Lets say) making driving standards seem lower. I can agree. I even let rip a few...

    Cliofest 2025

    Well, if you got to Nurburgring again let me know, i'd love to go with a crew. And being Sussex coast am a bit closer, like you, than the Northerners Anglesey was really enjoyable to be honest Friendly organisers, friendly participants- not clicky- and generally a really good day. Weather...

    I said hi to them Beany. They seemed a very happy and friendly lot, honest.

    Mintex 1144 brake pads superceded by Mintex MRM1801? They any good?

    Hi. As per title, my go to pads for the last few years have been superseded. I stuck by the 1144s as they always worked for me on trackdays Has anyone tried the 1801's and what are they like? - on first look they are round £140 for a front axle set The last 1144's i bought about 15month ago...

    Took to an alternative MOT tester who confirmed bad emissions They then run diagnostics which didnt pinpoint anything Instructed them to replace O2 sensor front, as advice earlier in this thread They went ahead clarifying they would not be liable for the replacement failing to resolve issue...

    Yes, thats what i thought. They have used diagnostic tools and found nothing, and there are no lights It does smell rich, and mpg not good- so as other contributors suggested have asked for the pre cat 02 sensor to be changed, then see where we are As said, the Cat (Supplied by Milltek) has...

    We'll see. Not spending lots on it. Mechanics did say pop in tomorrow to discuss solutions. Am too old to be crawling under cars. The other factor is the cost of Track days has escalated dramatically last couple years. An average one is £300+ all in, when it used to be less than £200.

    Took it to another place for diagnostics, and they're used to Clios, and it still failed even after Cat was "red hot". So, worst comes to worse, and it's change both sensors at least £100 each, then new milltek sportscat fitted for £650, then belts due Feb for £650, then possible new remap...

    Have bitten the bullet, and as i cant get to the connector of the lambda sensor on exhaust manifold from axle stands, have booked it in to get investigated. £45 for diagnostic and booked me in next day (Leave it there and they can have a look when they can) which i thought pretty good Lets see...

    Think i will take back to MOT tester, and have a chat and see if he can retest (After ive run through some CAT cleaner) and if test fails again ask him to replace the sensors, then if it still fails, may have to replace the Milltek Sportscat. I dont mind replacing the sportscat at £550 odd...

    Thanks for this. This diagram was shown to me in a parts retailer store. They were pretty confused which was applicable to where, as well. (And confuses matters a bit more when mine has after market milltek exhaust with a sportscat, but assume the sensors would be same anyway to marry up with...

    I have a reasonable scanner, but isnt as in depth as to check lambda sensor voltage
