From experience an FN2 is a great daily but I dont think it would be the most focused for track work. Having never driven a 197 or 200 I'd say buy the cheaper car and have some change for track days/tuition. Could always get a 172/182?

Hi guys, Is there any solution to the top mount Caps sitting high in the engine bay? I thought the answer was the new style top mount nuts but apparently not. Cheers

Painted my calipers Black just to tidy them a bit.

Yeah he was spot on with me, even gave me a Lambda sensor for nowt! He a had a Blue Clio 200 on the ramps that was awaiting a rebuilt Megane engine that looked rather nice too.

Try people like Greenlight and Sky insurance, they were always very good for me but yeah never pay the renewal price.

Mark isnt mentioned too much on here from what I've seen, I took my Cup to him earlier this year for the belts and he did a sound job, nice guy too.

It looks like "HT" means it was registered in Portsmouth. My cup is also a HT (HT53 SNX).

Mine are well worn in at this point and since the temperatures dropped they don't have much grip. Brilliant when they get heat in them though.

Just spotted a 172 cup on the hard shoulder north bound on the A1 between Blyth and the M18 junction. We were going southbound so couldn't stop. Hope everything's ok of you are on here. Rich

Managed to get the car running again, turns out whoever had wired the stereo into the car left one of the wires exposed that then caught on something and blew a fuse. Replaced the fuse and all is well. Thank you to everyone that commented and a Big thank you to @MicKPM for speaking to me on...

They all looked ok but it was starting to rain so might not have checked everyone. That's another thing we will be doing tonight.

We are checking the starter with jumper cables later then we are going to try to find all of the earths and make sure they are good. One under the dash could make a lot of sense.

It was 12.4v.

Ok will give that a try when I go home. My Dad did disconnect the battery last night but it was only for 30 seconds or so.

My Dad tested the battery with a Voltmeter and its putting out what it should be.
