    The Definitive What Exhaust Do You Have Thread...

    For me it really is akrapovic or standard. Had an akrapovic on my old one which was okay(not worth the money imo but I paid 600 second hand) for my current one I bought a scorpion which I imagine sounds similar to other after market cat backs and just sounded horrendous. Went back to standard...

    Heater blower noisy and/or dead

    Hi guys, Got an issue with my heaters/blowers! Basically when I start the car the blowers are dead, if I give the lower dash a whack (where the blower is situated) it’ll come on but only on the highest setting. It’s noisy but after a while it gets really bad and fluctuates and stutters then...

    Ultra red r27 Removing swirls in paint HELP!!

    If you look on cleanyourecar they may still do the menzerna sample pack where you get 4 samples from 400 up to the 3800 finishing polish, more than enough to do a few cars. Also if you didn’t do it first time round, try doing as much decontamination as you can beforehand, tar remover, fallout...

    Ultra red r27 Removing swirls in paint HELP!!

    I also used menzerna on mine, 400 will probably need refining afterwards though, you could get away with 2200 “maybe” without refining but I used 3500 afterwards, mixture of hex logic pads. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    4th gear synchro repair cost or upgrade?

    Roughly £800 with a new clutch and slave cylinder. Some places do exchange gearbox and keep yours or some rebuild it same day so you know you’re getting you’re box back on there. Where are you based?

    How many miles out of a clutch?

    Bit of an update, it’s gone for a new clutch and slave aswell as a box refurb, aswell as Godspeed discs, pbs pads and rbf660 fluid so should be great when I get it back. Just kept playing on my mind, and when you can get all that done for the price you can, it outweighs that cost plus the costs...

    How many miles out of a clutch?

    The mileage is around 80k mate but I believe the clutch was done around 50k but yeah I think all I can do is take it easy the next couple of weeks and hope it lasts but it’s probably fine and me just being paranoid before going to the ring really :P

    How many miles out of a clutch?

    All polybushed mate that’s what I was thinking could be a factor as it is all very stiff, if I’m honest it’s probably juddered since I’ve had it but where I’m off to the ring soon shit starts playing on my mind more need to forget about it haha!

    How many miles out of a clutch?

    I know it can depend on driving style, brand etc loads of factors but.. driving into the EU in about 3 weeks time and been debating getting a recon box and clutch package as precaution before heading to the ring as I’ve noticed an occasional slight judder when pulling away but not sure if I’m...

    Strange brake problem

    I have the exact same problem at the moment, check my recent thread maybe the same issue! Almost feels like the initial bite is really good then as if the pedal feels funny as if something is blocking it and you can feel it on you’re foot? I’m going for new discs and pads and changing the fluid...

    Clio 200 braking issues

    Will get on that tomorrow if it doesn’t rain haha! Or is it worth waiting and ordering some replacement calliper pins in case I can’t get them out? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Clio 200 braking issues

    Thanks mate yeah I’m gonna try that, had a few people say now that they look completely normal but as I’m off to the ring in 3 weeks I was just gonna change them but seems it’ll be a waste of money. I’ve also been told a few times to strip and clean them and should be fine from there Sent...
