So, we moved unit a while back. Just over the road but the new place has a 2 post lift and a bit of extra space. I finally pulled the Clio out today as it’s off to Glasgow tomorrow for undersealing, The chap who owns the unit has an incredible collection of cars - 996 GT2, 430 Scud, 106 Raylle...

It seems almost everyone with a low mileage/minter is selling at the moment. If you had the money to spend big on a clean Clio, you can afford to be picky just now. Various LY, RB, 172 Cups & Trophies have been for sale/sold in the last few months. It makes a £10k PB with no history seem a...

The orange DCI on the Williams wheels just looks so right. Fingers crossed the Blue one gets up and running soon. At least you caught the alternator before it inevitably blew up.

Nothing major then, glad to hear it! Was it the lower manifold gasket? I swapped mine last year when changing a few bits and it was a right pain to line up

Glad you got the idle issue sorted! It’s a nightmare trying to trace annoying little faults like that. What was the culprit?

Ouch, sorry to hear that mate. Glad it's not been written off though! How on earth did your bodyshop find arch liners? One side is NLA and nigh on impossible to source?!

Looks great this Louis. That carbon shaft (ooo err) is mega nice (y)

This. Knocked a hole in my sump last year on my daily. Couldn’t be arsed fixing it again so punted on marketplace to a chap who is fairly local. He patched the hole in the sump with JB weld and it’s still running 6m on.

Bloody hell. Fingers crossed that you get the engine sorted this time and it’s hassle free from here on out.

There's one of these near the unit I rent and it looks like it's been dumped/abandoned. I was tempted to find out who owns it, but after reading the last few posts here, I'll give it a miss:ROFLMAO: Top work though, some of those bills look hideous.

Saw this in the local ASDA car park today. Lovely colour but I can’t get my head around a car starting at £200k?!

Cheers chaps. I'll give Rentec a shout when the car goes for in for its MOT in the summer. I never thought about Timpsons, but will give them a shout if Rentec can't do anything for me.

Congrats on the purchase fella. A tidy silver 182/172 is extremely underrated imho. Some of my favourite 182's on here are silver (Mr Blonde and Cfab's motor)

Has anyone managed to get Renault or an indy to re-code a key for them, or even sort a new key out? One of my keys died last month and won't activate the central locking BUT it will still start the car etc. The red light doesn't flash on the fob even after a battery change. Thankfully the...

Managed to get this in the storage unit today. It was a little hairy with the snow and ice but it never missed a beat on the 50 mile or so drive over. Took a couple of 7am fuel stop pics. Got it hooked up to the battery conditioner but found the ‘comfort clips’ which bolt straight on to the...

I pinched this from @Louis build thread, but here are the sizes for the Jubilee/hose clips for the cooling system. JCS HIGRIP Pack QTY: Pack of 4, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 17-25mm (0X) Pack QTY: Pack of 10, Material Spec: W4 - Stainless Steel, Clip Size: 25-35mm (1)...

Thank you very much mate (y) yeah, it makes sense to change the rad, hoses etc while you’ve got the coolant drained. My rad was knackered anyway so it’s worth doing if you have the funds. The MTC hoses have been great so far. A few boys on here run them and there’s no complaints. For the...

I did indeed (y) I did it on my drive over the course of a weekend (as well as doing other jobs), but you could probably do it in a morning if you know what you’re doing and don’t stop for endless cups of tea. Honestly, it wasn’t too bad, the worst bit is trying to squeeze it in between the...

Not sure if I’ve already posted these but here we are. A fairly tidy 190 on bags. it looks tiny next to the Hyundai next to it. This was also smoking around locally up until recently. It was minty fresh. The bloke uses it as his dog carrier.

There’s a standard non-dually Ram in the village I live and it’s massive. It doesn’t fit on the guys drive. I can’t imagine how grim it would be to drive something that size on UK roads. Seriously cool bit of kit though and they sound great.

Cheers for all the reply’s folks. I’ve picked up a CTEK mxs5 with the brothers trade card for a shade over £60, which isn’t bad at all.

I’m storing my car over the next few months and need to get myself a trickle charger to keep the battery in decent nick while it’s laid up. CTEK chargers seem to be the ones to go for but is there anything else out there that’s worth considering? What are people using here? Halfords sell some...

And here’s the fuel filler work for anyone who is interested. Note the hole at the top. The bubbling of the filler cap didn’t look bad from the outside but underneath, it was pretty rough. A new filler neck panel was made to replace the old one. The rear arch rot was also cut and Replaced...

Yeah, I’m hoping the old pins will just tap out easy enough. They’ve only been on the car for 5 months and less than 500 miles, so fingers crossed haha. I was having a bit of an issue with the central locking recently. The car would lock on the button, but wouldn’t unlock unless you put the key...

That’s the one. 185mph delimited and 500bhp. Insanely cool.

Didn’t they do an AMG version of this and it only sold something like 150 units?! I love these though. A lot of car for the money and an absolute eyesore :cool:

I really like that. I’ve not seen lambo doors for years! Takes me back to buying Max Power as a teen. There’s something great about this sort of modifying. It’s not something I’d own but the amount of graft that goes Into a build like this is pretty amazing. Looking forward to future updates.

I’ve also picked up a set of these from Ian @ MrPinkPins. Should hopefully mean I’ll never have to deal with stuck pins on the brembos.

That’s a cracking idea. I might have to look into doing that. There’s a local guy near me that does paint protection film. It does seem to be a bit of a common place for rust to start when they two panels rub.

A few quick after pics when the rain decided to stop for 5 minutes. No more stone chipped rear quarters and that rust bubble where the arch met the bumper has now been sorted. Both sides have been resprayed along with the side skirts too. Fuel filler area sorted. There was a massive hole...
