    Insurance nightmare

    I'm with green light and they were excellent and are specifically for modified cars.

    Check emissions + exhaust popping a lot

    Yeah mate if you don't mind going through the hassle of posting it, it would be greatly appreciated :D

    Check emissions + exhaust popping a lot

    No doesn't drive ok, revs don't climb as fast and feels down on power. I'll try the spark plug thing you mentioned and see if one of them is loose. When I've got the money I'll be getting it booked in for diagnostics so hopefully find out then what the issue is :(

    Check emissions + exhaust popping a lot

    Yeah not driving it at all, been sharing my partners Citroen C1 last 2 weeks. Could be a fueling issue as @Pav says, I'm just hoping it's a sensor as it's a cheap-ish fix :(

    Check emissions + exhaust popping a lot

    Video here. Check emissions light on dashboard and exhaust sounds a lot louder than usual, popping and banging a lot more than before dash light. My guess is faulty lambda sensor throwing out readings causing overfuelling? Now I know there are two lambda sensors pre and post cat IIRC one of...

    That's nothing, wait until the exhaust manifold goes, now that's an expensive one!

    Replacing Engine Mount/Rubber Bush?

    You're both just soft, car drives much better with them fitted :P

    Thanks for the kind words everyone, it means a lot & like I said hopefully one day I will come back to the Clio family but I definitely won't stay a stranger and I'll pop in now and again :french:

    Dale's Glacier White 200 cup

    She'd had quite a lot of time off over the last 12 months in small chunks here and there and she'd had a warning or two so I doubt there would be much of a case.

    Unfortunately my rear tire got a nail in it the other day and wont stay inflated, and a check emissions light came on and the car isn't running correctly (I'm 99% sure it's a lambda sensor fault, which is a cheap fix) but I've not even got the money to repair the car at the moment.

    Yeah even without owning the car, I think I've picked up quite a bit of 197/200 knowledge to be useful enough to hang around and post occasionally :D

    Refitting OEM exhaust after being cut off

    Awesome thanks again, with one of those tight enough it wouldn't need welding would it?

    Not really been active on the forum as much as I usually am, and just wanted to give a bit of a situation update just in case anybody was worried as to be honest this forum feels like a family more than a community. My partner was off work sick for about 2 months, and due to some disagreement...

    Refitting OEM exhaust after being cut off

    I've already got my old system sat in my hallway, just needed to know what was involved getting it refitted. Spending a little bit to refit the OEM one so I can sell the Miltek for a few hundred makes sense. I guess I'll give a few garages a ring and get a few quotes :)

    Refitting OEM exhaust after being cut off

    Cars going back to finance company and I'll be damned if they take my Miltek, so I'm going to stick the OEM one back on. Due to the old one having to be cut to be taken off, how do you refit it? does it need welding back up, or is there some sort of slightly larger metal pipe you can attach it...

    Thanks guys, also wrote the mileage down wrong it's 31700 (but daily driver so increasing slightly)

    Dale's Glacier White 200 cup

    If I was returning it to the finance company this would make sense because they don't take into consideration the value of the reacros and the expensive cambelt service etc so I'd rather sell privately and then use the money to pay off the finance. EDIT *** EG The finance company aren't going...

    Dale's Glacier White 200 cup

    Thanks for all the kind words everyone, it's genuinely been a pleasure being a member of this family. I'm thinking it might work out better if I sell the car and then pay the finance off with the money, how much would people say it's worth? Few features: Miltek Resonated catback exhaust...

    Dale's Glacier White 200 cup

    Had the worst month of my life, various things happened not really want to get into it but basically I'm returning the car to the finance company but will be selling the Recaros to recooperate some of the costs. If anyone is interested I'd be up for a set of standard seats + cash my way. Few...
