In a nearby field, was a mk2 3.0s. Would’ve been a nice car back in the day.

Going to look at an old T5 Caravelle on Friday, with the 2.5 5 Cylinder engine (174bhp, AXE). Of course I’ve got in all a tizz after reading about worn camshafts, leaking injectors, leaking exhaust manifolds and all the other known issues with them. This one has low relative miles on it (106k)...

Even though it was 5 years ago, my guess is that it will be the same situation. I doubt they’ve improved their software to now help fix 20 year old cars… From what I remember iCarsoft support was a complete nightmare to get an answer from. I waited 10 months to get the following reply: But...

It really needs to be plugged into clip, anything else is just guessing. I was the same, going round the whole system, changing abs sensors, modules, brake switches etc. But until I bought a clone clip and old laptop I was just chasing shadows. I even took it to a “specialist” who charged me...

£400 in 2014 from a friend of a friend. Paid a garage the same amount to not fix the esp+serv+abs problem. Fantastic car but very needy, always required something doing.

A Punto Sporting 1.2 16V bouncing off the limiter is a memory from my youth.

Nice to see this 182 (or Ragnotti) in the Tenerife sun the other day.

Currently making my way to Stornoway, and this is sitting on the car deck. Was for sale near me last week, so assuming it’s sold. Nice car, 65k on clock.

Anyone changed the clutch on a A/C Compressor on any VAG car? The family hack that is our 2016 Touran 2.0TDI is chuff chuffing away when cold. Quietens down a bit when warmed but still a bit of noise. I chucked a new aux belt and tensioner on it in the hope that would cure it but no. Turned the...

The Tain area is my stomping ground - roads are quiet at the moment. However the Clio isn’t so quiet, since its exhaust decided to crack just after the cat. 2 weeks it lasted before it needed more work!

I’m going to be looking for a n/s driveshaft for my 182 in the very near future - I can hear the dreaded click click at lock under load (normally at low speed). I believe for a cup pack car the n/s driveshaft has part number 8200372167 - does anyone know where one could purchase this at a...

Thanks for the comments. So far I’ve reversed into the wheelbarrow in it (zero damage thankfully , wheelbarrow worse for wear) and have been pulled over by the police (their system showed it as not MOT’d when it was, phew!) Being back in a Clio my first impression is, there’s so much glass...
