just in case anyone is interested, the Clio is for sale with a new MOT, new AC condenser, 63800 miles. £3800

It was actually from another forum member but through ebay. I think I paid about £40.

Well personally I'd never buy a new RS Clio so I can't really comment on that.. I bought the 182 because I needed a second car and one that was easy to get in and out of but also fun to drive. The Clio ticked the most boxes. Initially I just wanted a reasonably priced FF but this RB Cup was for...

Hahaha, that's hilarious. I was prepared to go mental on this one, but it all makes sense now. To be fair though, even £2500 is high for a car that isn't perfect with those miles..

Somebody, somewhere has tried to see how much VAG you can fit into an average sized garage

Well that’s my point Jeff, I wonder if it could be an old lambda sensor maybe. How much to replace one?

I know the weight difference isn’t particularly noticeable, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s a very light car by modern standards. Perhaps I was being a bit unfair in expecting a bit more. Interestingly, my first car was a 1994 Vauxhall Astra, 1.4 with I think about 60hp. It averaged...

I guess so, I suppose I was expecting the weight to make more of a difference (I believe the Cup is something like 1070kg, plus the lighter exhaust so maybe 1060kg). I don't drive it gently but equally I know how to drive economically when I'm not giving it 10/10 beans. For comparison the M3 has...

It doesn't work. Got progressively less cold over a period of months until about mid June when it was not noticeably cold out of the vents (and it was noticeably hot outside)

Every time I view or see a house that has a garage converted into a semi-useless extra room in a house, a part of me dies inside.

Will trade timing belt intervals info for sister pics

Just a quick update, it's no longer 6 weeks in but you know.. 9 months in, the Clio is currently my main car as the BMW is in the garage after a stupid car park prang has cost me both it's svelte lines and a stupid amount in repairs. The big issue with that is that the air conditioning is...

Probably heat shield. Have a rummage round underneath and see if anything feels loose.

Black springs yes. Didn’t want to lower it too much, I’m supposed to be keeping it standard!

Cheers mate. The refurb is a slightly darker shade but I’m ok with that (done by the garage that I bought it from). Springs are Eibach Pro-Kit, good compromise
