A couple hours with the rotary 👌

“Made from recycled milk bottles” ha! They’re supportive, the colour is marmite but I think they suit the look. ^ Height wise, I’m 6’3 and it’s easily accommodating. However I didn’t test drive..

I called in at Renault Manchester today for a nosey, seeing as I was driving past. I think the new R5 in yellow with the decal pack and larger wheels looks amazing. The interior is a nice place to be, and to be fair the payments via carwow make it a good contender. I just couldn’t make the...

When’s the pearl black 172 body kit going on? ;)

You were correct. I’ve downloaded a Anti virus app and it’s now working fine. Thanks

Apologies if this has already been covered … I’ve been on here since 2004, and occasionally log on for info/ parts/ a nosey. Each time I’m faced with spam galore! I’ve screen recorded it. Is it my device, or has everyone got the same issue viewing the forum? Shame as there’s lots of good help...

Emissions & rear brake lines - fixed them already

Also to add, the car was running Shell Optimax, the mechanic tried for quite some time to get heat into the cat, plus a long drive before MOT.

Hello! Last June (2023) my 182 passed MOT with a new ‘Cat2u Cat’ The car has done ~900 miles since, and having re MOT’ed for this year, failed on emissions. The garage said it’s the cat. I’ve removed it and sent it off under the 2 year warranty (week 5 now, still not heard back) I was...
