I'd be worried that if my monitor logged those details, my hours clocked would make those appear like rookie numbers..... :LOL: Tentatively looked into new monitors recently. Still using my old ROG 27" at 144Hz. G-Sync was the s**t back then, but on further reading, it appears that the...

Put a sticker on the house phone..... "FOR EMERGENCY USE ONLY" :p

Just double check what your calls and call plan entail. We've not had a landline number since we moved in here nearly five years ago - but my mum is insistent on using one. Out of the blue - BT (who she's got her services with) came on with a sales pitch, part of which was to reduce her...

I’ve got an endoscope camera - could use that. So it should weep/trickle out like you say when the filler screw is slackened off?

Handy info in this thread. Can the gearbox oil level be checked via access through the filler port? Surprised that there's not a common dipstick feature on most gearboxes - would be something easy enough to implement - even if it was screwed into the outer housing of the gearbox itself.

As said before mate - absolute credit to you getting anywhere near a decent time with a pad. Arcade racers are one thing with a pad - but the likes of ACC and AC Evo are just chaos for me in using them. Almost like captaining the QE2 that now has 200 million horse-power on a jet ski course ...

So, the Ramair filter arrived yesterday and I fitted it today. From the outset, the manufacturing quality was WAY superior than the Pipercross effort. I particularly liked the small lip within the collar that stopped the 70mm induction pipe from sliding further into the cone filter itself...

Out with the shitty Pipercross foam air filter and in with the Ramair. Found it much easier to fit with the battery temporarily removed (probably not essential) - but glad I did as the right-side battery retainer clip was very loose. Me being me and finding a rattle-can of Hammerite knocking...

Yeah - missing those stickers. Genuine Renault item too - which is surprising as it doesn't have the hole for the bonnet open warning button.

I'm putting the blame squarely on it being at a garage at some point and it being removed then! I wouldn't have removed it and left it off.... :)

New rubber/foam strip at the front of the engine bay. Completely forgot about this until I saw one on Matt's car at the weekend. I don't think I've had one on for years?

Most likely. I'll definitely argue the toss, given that there were no instructions and it's a crap setup to begin with.

Bought the above - cheers! Was keen on getting it here ASAP and Amazon were a little cheaper, so win-win. Now for the faff in claiming some money back for that crappy filter!

Checked the circumference of the pipe - roughly 22cm which I believe works out to be a 7cm diameter pipe? Based on that - I would have thought this should be OK? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B085H2G3B5/?tag=cliospnet01-21 Or for another tenner or so? Looks smarter too...

You don't happen to know the part number of that one do you? I noticed that there's a few Ramair cone filters even on Amazon.
