    problem unknown, help

    Iv found mine seem to loose brake fluid from the cap, there is a seal for the level sender and its not a very good one. Its best to check it and takes 5 seconds. At least you can rule that one out then.

    Alloy Wheel Refurb

    Cheers for that i have checked out the guy from cs so will be grabbing a set from there. As for removing paint i would just fit, remove then refit and torque, then drive the vehicle for a few days and check torque settings and recheck in a weeks time. Torque settings for 182 road wheel bolts...

    Alloy Wheel Refurb

    I find the same with most wheel refurbishment places they all paint the center hub facings, if you pop a bit of copper slip in the hub center its self them pop the wheel on and off a few times will fix that issue of sticking. Where did you get the stickers from if you don't mind me asking.

    Trophy 440 Dampers

    They have a lacquer finish applied to them already, the hardest bit out of all of this was i tried to do this in a week, i drove to BG on the Monday 16th to get them stripped. I then back the same day to drop them off to my friend, who then shot blasted areas of corrosion and sanded the painted...

    Trophy 440 Dampers

    As promised i have a few photos of before and after of the dampers once shot blasted and sprayed. If anyone else is thinking of doing this then from my own experiences i would suggest you look into building up the lost material once the rust and corrosion has been removed, the guy who done mine...

    I was going to post up on cs when i saw this yesterday, your eibach rear springs seem to have dropped the hight a bit more i think since you last posted up pictures, looks much nicer now. Need to clean the engine bay i can see dirt on the top mounts lol. Would be good to see the half cage in...

    The answer to my handling problem...

    http://www.ccw-tools.com/product.asp?st ... re+Details This will do it, you only need to crush the clip to pull it tight so don't go too mad as you can break the clip. Halfords will no doubt sell this tool too but usually for more money, ideally pop to your local motor factors they will have a...

    The answer to my handling problem...

    CV boot clips are common just fill it with more grease and stick another clip on, iv now done all of mine they just fall apart not a very good design. I would advise to get the other side cv boot clip done at the same time i found on mine i done one then a few weeks later the other side went...

    The answer to my handling problem...

    Just a thought who did the 4 wheel alignment and have they adjusted or tried to adjust the camber, sounds to me as thought they didn't torque the nut and bolt up hence why after the shakedown on your track day you noticed it, its worth checking the other side while your at it just in case. Have...

    Renault at it again..

    Just wanted to add is it just me or did you mention upstream lambda sensor fault? only that's before the cat so will deal with engine running, these seem to be a common problem and its best to replace with a Bosch lambda there exactly the same as Renault ones and are about half the price.

    Renault at it again..

    Are you being serious? Im guessing this wasn't a renault dealership. He could well have been right if it was an import from Mexico but very much doubt that.

    Trophy pic next to integrale & Civic!

    Well sounds as though you had some rather nice cars, the GT4 was one i was going to mention however some i have seen lately look shocking after they have been body kitted. I have to admit the DC2 has no where near as much grip as the T, as for the 205 GTi my friend has one and having driven...

    Trophy pic next to integrale & Civic!

    Very nice cars you have there, in my preference i have to say my favorite is the Lancia Delta Integrali Evo, my friend is rebuilding a HF Turbo but its in a bit of a poor state so will be a rather big project, my second would be the Trophy, then the FTO and last but not least your new Civic...

    Help!

    I would test the battery first before just investing in one as may not cure the issue. If your not technically minded i would get the vehicle to a garage for diagnosis & rectification could be a faulty starter motor or an earth fault.

    Front suspension & rear dampers

    Yer i did see the group buy on the whiteline anti-roll bar but the one thing i don't like like about that is the drop links use a bush and i think i saw a picture a while back with the lower bush looking like its starting to split, i believe it was on sir-dave's T but i may be wrong hence why i...

    Front Suspension Overhaul

    You may well be correct all i know is the top mount for a clio trophy is the same as the ones from the v6, i had to get some top mounts sorted a few weeks back, managed to get a pair from euro car parts for £55, compared to renault asking for i think it was £40 for just the one i couldn't...

    Front Suspension Overhaul

    Well as far as i know top mounts as standard are clio v6 mounts, they share the same part number, so if the ast's fit a clio v6 then they will fit the sachs.

    Front Suspension Overhaul

    The only camber adjustable top mounts i know of are AST however they also adjust the caster too, so ideally only option for camber alone is via bolts, the top strut bolts are easy to access and iv fitted eibach ones to mine, people state that they aren't strong enough however this is now the...
