Sorry mate, I'll stfu and give it another go next weekend.

Honestly Rob I've lost the will to give a f*ck anymore, the only reason I bought this car was to salvage the freshly built engine that went in the dog kennel, but it starting to dawn on me that I just don't have any energy to even get started, even if I did all I'll have is someone else's car I...

I came off an identical engine with the same setup, I removed it myself.

I've spent another hour trying to fit the aux belt to the PMS setup, no matter which pully I leave off, the belt simply won't stretch over the final one. Anyone got any tips? I just don't have it in me to care anymore, I'm on the verge of selling it on and giving up on Clio's and cars in...

F*ck me that's rowdy! 🤣

When was the last time you saw an Aventime in the wild? I saw a blue one in Cov back when they were new, other than that only at car shows. Absolutely mint.

If I can find a decent estate for my Mum I can have my old Golf PD130 back, that thing's on 210k miles and keeps working even when it's broken, even after the turbo exploded and the engine ran on using all the oil, it still fired up like nothing had happened with a new turbo.

I not wasting anymore money on cars, if the Megane isn't f*cked I'll run it through winter then sell it in the spring, hopefully not lose any money on it. Then probably go back to shitheap bangers I don't give a f*ck about, at least when they break I can just scrap them and buy another one.

The Megane also blew it's mega fuse on the same day when we tried to bring it in the workshop, we think it may have leaked oil into one of the cylinders and hydrolocked causing it to blow a fuse rather than killing the engine, the crank wasn't locked when we rocked it back and forth, but it...

Anything I buy will be a piece of sh*t, it's all just a waste of time and money.

If I sell the lot it's unlikely I'll buy anything else, I'm planning on moving to Cornwall by 2030, any money made will just go towards that, I'm done with my life, I'd quite like to start fresh somewhere else. To top it off I bought a Megane DCI 175 off a mate to cheer myself up after the...

Might as well update this thread, not that there's been any progress. I finally stripped and scrapped the only possession I've ever gave a f*ck about the other week, interior stripped, engine, box and front end all dropped on the subframe and now sat on a pallet at work. Probably time I made...

There's an estate called Tile Hill in Coventry that's like that, some of it is gated communities and private flats for professionals with 24/7 security driving around. The rest of it is drug gang murdervile.

Your street's mad, it's both affluent with nice cars and professionals, and a sh*t hole with illegal ebikes and scumbags.

I knew a bloke that had one when I lived in Nottingham, that was 20 years ago and I've not seen one since.
