    Who codes in C#? Where do I start to learn

    By contrast getting a job as a front end web developer is very easy! Very easy learning curve, bucket loads of documentation and very easy to build a portfolio as your work will be on-line. I am primarily an application developer but I do front end too, it's very simple :smile:

    I was thinking about getting a new light for the number plate, I think that has sealed my decision, looks miles better!

    Got the polish out today before the bad weather arrives! (And yes that is an ass print in my bonnet, someone was kind enough to leave while stealing the number plates from my jaguar.)

    Wuddy 182 refurb project

    Fitted an audio stalk control to pioneer adapter today. My audio stalk is broken and won't stay in so I fixed with a captive nut: Inserted on the locking side in between the wiring connector so that the connector holds it to the stalk and when inserted it will lock the stalk in place. All...

    What has been done to my exhaust?

    It's OE but it has the right connections (spring at the manifold with crush gasket and clamp at the other end), or at least it did until I had them chopped off!

    What has been done to my exhaust?

    Well that's a bummer then! If it doesnt hold up then it looks like i'm in for a new manifold... but you never know your luck eh

    What has been done to my exhaust?

    That crack is at the rear, I welded it up but now have taken the old cat out and had Infinity Exhausts modify the new Clio 182 cat and fit it, they had to weld flanges on both ends and make it longer. I can't find any information on the cat online at all apart from one other guy who had the same...

    What has been done to my exhaust?

    Recently purchased a new 182 Catalytic converter due to mine being cracked - The new 182 Catalytic converter didn't fit because it was far too short and used a crush gasket and a clamp whereas the catalytic converter on the car has flanges on both ends. I have had the new catalytic converter...

    I believe they are the correct springs, I'll take a proper side on shot when the springs have settled, the car had only just been taken off the jack in that picture and the springs had never been compressed. Whether it's the exact factory height or not it drives lovely now and still corners...

    Did the front shocks today. What a pain in the arse! Would never have been able to do it without the impact gun and a big hammer, spent about 30 minutes changing the springs and 4 hours getting out rusty bolts. Pictures below, too tired to write anything! drives better now.

    Spotted a good value Clio on Gumtree

    Looks pretty good, not very fast but ideal for a new driver if anyone's looking. https://www.gumtree.com/p/renault/renault-clio-1.2-16v-29-000-genuine-miles-new-m.o.t-57-plate-fsh/1140106854

    Busy day today! Replaced the headlamp jet and hole with rubber and replaced some bulbs in the headlights that were gone. New battery, old one was way too big and preventing the air intake hose from fitting to the airbox, detached the sub-power cable that someone has run to the boot (now cable...

    Wuddy 182 refurb project

    Thanks James, that would be great! I'll do some research and try to find out if they will fit. Meanwhile I just fitted the welded cat and the car is like a different car to drive, all the torque has come back at low RPM and it's no longer hard work in traffic, i'm glad because I was worrying...

    New to the forums, I am from Bristol, recently picked up a black 182 in bad shape. This is my 5th Clio, but my 1st fast one! Here is the car: It has the following mods (that I can tell) Wheels painted black, stickers, missing badges, lowered (eibach springs), stainless cat back exhaust...
