Sounds like I should be keeping them, then.... ;) Never really had anything proper special. Mainly AutoGlym and Megs products. Probably have a few bottles with a few cap fulls in that could be binned I guess.

Hi all, I presume it's a 'thing' like most fluids and chemicals - that they have a shelf life? Started a clear-out recently of accumulated crap over the years and remembered that I have quite a few shelved bottles of waxes, polishes and various other cleaning fluids. I know for sure that I've...

Welcome aboard. :)

Well, well, well.... Just had a few minutes to see if I could see any obvious fixes graphically - and I've spotted a few below. No.1 for me that has annoyed me since the ACC days has been the texture pop-in of the grass banking at Oulton Park, when climbing out of Knickerbrook up to Clay Hill...

Hi, I bought it from here on ebay...

Nice one Andy - well described and interesting to read. It does sound like there's a number of bug fixes in there too. I've not fired up 0.7 yet, but will do shortly - I'll see if I notice anything specific myself.

As mentioned a few posts up - stay well clear of kit using Fresnel lenses. I don't believe anything new actually does any more - but if there's a cheap 2nd hand kit coming your way - check on the lenses first. Such a compromise to the primary function of VR - visual clarity. Utter crap.

There's taking a risk and then there's going out in a blaze of glory...

Wiper delete, but non-cup 4x4 ride height? Needs sorting.... ;)

Was just about to post this. :) Interested to hear from Andy's (@SharkyUK) view, if there's anything significant in the rendering side below. RENDERER - brand new particle system with smoke, dirt and spray and impact effects there's a fallback video setting to disable the more expensive...

Great post this. Just shows you how much the quality of cameras and photos have come on in the last 25 years too!

Proper filter included too - and not the Pipercross crap! :P

As Matt says - if you're after pure sound difference, then the induction kit definitely works for that. Was genuinely surprised at the noise difference when I added one to mine on the 182. I went for the KTec 2RS induction kit...

I'd be getting a twitchy arse with those prices thinking they were Temu knock-offs. But if he's shown you the pricing from Renault directly, then fair play! To have the aux kit, cambelt, dephaser and water pump done for £1,600 - I don't think is that bad at current prices. Maybe a little...

Welcome aboard! I'm guessing that you're not in the UK with it being LHD and it actually looking sunny in the pics? ;)
