Nice little double spot at lunch today, a tidy Cortina and a Suzuki Cappuccino.

Supposedly these guys up in Scotland are now producing the RS2 intakes as they've gained the rights to it, not sure if anyone has actually managed to buy one off them however: https://www.flatoutperformance.co.uk/#&gid=1589341250&pid=9

With no MOT and no known history of the belts being done, I'd probably say that's worth maybe £2k at the most. I bought my nimbus grey 197 (non-cup) a couple of years back when the market was really inflated, for £2.5k on 99,000 miles, and was in the same state as yours with no MOT and the...

It’s not the batteries that were the issue, it’s the key itself. See if my method works, it’s easy enough to try. Otherwise it’s off to Renault for a new key, hopefully they still make them.

When my key was dying, I used to have issues starting the car unless I held down the button on the fob while starting the ignition. Sounds a bit wonky but it helped me start it for about 8 months until the key finally died and I had to go to Renault for a new one.

Well I've bought my weekend ticket and booked on for the full day! My clio is still in a million pieces, so let's see how this goes 😬

I was at Anglesey last week, no noise testing at all so I wouldn't worry.

1460kg without a driver I think, if you go for the bigger battery 150hp version.

0-62 in 7.9s, which is alright for a 150hp electric box. Plus this isn't the performance version, so not sure why you'd expect it to be rapid.

Continuing on with my mini-rant, what on earth do the new rally 3 & 4 cars have to do with the 'Hard Chargers' theme? Surely you'd be going for more cars that were known to be tough and could battle on, like the Octavia WRC? All seems a bit hashed together to me. Maybe they've switched focus...

I can't get my head around why they've added the '99 Focus, which was barely developed and massively overweight, when they could add the '03-04 Focus which would be much improved over the '01 Focus we have already. Plus the '03 Focus would give the Xsara a good fight in game based on the stats...

If I make a "Brrr" noise when I use it, does that make it powered...

I'm really impressed with it so far tbf, jacked my Megane up with ease. Only issue was I didn't quite realise how heavy it was, it's just shy of 40kg! I looked like a right plonker heaving the box across the carpark when I picked it. I stupidly turned down the Halfords' man when he offered to...

I got a halfords voucher for christmas, so I figured I might as well upgrade my jack. I went for the 3tonne low profile as it was only an extra £15 over the 2T when I used my tradecard. Safe to say I might have overdone it slightly... :LOL:
