    Another Impact Wrench question...

    Trying to use my Amazon voucher after Christmas and always fancied an impact wrench. Anyone heard of / used one of these? https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XKLYQZW/?tag=cliospnet01-21 I know it's mains powered but that's not a problem as I can use an extension lead. And as far as I understand it...

    Does fg400 finish up well, considering it's labelled a heavy cut compound?

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Take a look at the bundled kits on the polished bliss (other sites available) website and make your own version as such. They're the pro's and seem to know which pads and polishes combos go together. I've got various hex logic pads and meguiars polishes as they always seem popular.

    What have you done to your car today ???

    I haven't, think that recall was before I had this Clio if that makes a difference

    What have you done to your car today ???

    Haha! No it was a massive error on my part. Bonnet wasn't secured down properly so it tried to mate with the windscreen when I got up to 40ish. Hate myself for it tbh

    What have you done to your car today ???

    They didn't ask any questions at all to be honest. Mine was pretty broken though, so it wasn't a case of changing it just to look pretty.

    FFS I give up. Actually plan to order a block of poly bush and drill my own holes in it for the 3 hangars

    Haha got a pressed one in the shed I need to get on. And the rear wiper needs adjusting if you're looking for wonky things!

    Locked out / car stuck

    Went and got a new Bosch S4 this morning, got it in the car just now and all is good again! Took it for a drive round the block too just to blow some cobwebs off. Pic for proof that it made it out the garage...

    If that's the best I'll find then I'll go for it then. Shame I didn't get it over black Friday/cyber Monday.

    Locked out / car stuck

    Just popped by halfords with the battery and it read 2.7 volts so I think it's new battery time. Bosch ones look like £80 - 35% today on ECP but might see if there's a bigger weekend discount code coming soon

    So happy to see this! Managed to pull the lever with a pool cue and an Alan key taped to the end.

    Locked out / car stuck

    Finally got some time today to look at this... I thought it could be a dead key fob battery as well so I changed it but the little light still flashes red. Does the key know my cars dead too? [emoji23] What do I need to poke from underneath to open the bonnet?

    Project CARS 2

    Is it worth me picking this up now on black friday, or just wait til christmas? Is it likely to get much better? Still play PCars 1 and I enjoy that one so it's got to be a worthwhile upgrade otherwise I won't bother.

    Does your misses like your car

    I think she secretly enjoys it when we're out in it. Says I drive my company corsa at the same speeds so she feels more comfortable in the Clio that can handle it [emoji23] Have been told off a couple times when it gets a bit quick. If booting it, I can just get into 4th before being shouted at.

    I should have said earlier, only 2 of the wheels are off the ground at the moment.

    Luckily I don't need it any time soon. You couldn't have written it though.

    Locked out / car stuck

    It's tight. If I push it forward out the garage it's a quick downhill, across the road and into the neighbours fence too [emoji23] guess I could get someone to help me ease it out. How easy is removing the handbrake cable? Cars already jacked up.

    Locked out / car stuck

    I can get the key in and unlock the door, but just can't get in the door. I was hoping it would open the whole car.

    Locked out / car stuck

    The battery has died on my Clio as its been sat in the garage for a while and the passenger door with the manual lock is about 5cm away from the garage wall. The handbrake is on. How do I break into my own car / release the handbrake / pop the bonnet??

    Acceptable work? Decat fitting

    Haha I haven't started it yet but I'm quite looking forward to it!

    Acceptable work? Decat fitting

    No didn't get anywhere, gave up really. I might call them and mention this though, as like you quoted they definitely said the centre hadn't been cut or adapted in any way.

    Acceptable work? Decat fitting

    Haven't looked at this for ages but had a bit of spare time recently. The decat has stayed in its place and to be fair coped with 2.5k miles around Scotland and then Wales. Got the angle grinder out and as some had already imagined, the olive joint has been cut off the centre. I surprised...

    Cheapest way to insurance a road legal track toy

    Tax it the day before, cancel the direct debit the day after... payment doesn't even go out

    Cheapest way to insurance a road legal track toy

    We just pay ~£50 to insure it on the road for the day to drive it to and from. Works for us as we don't do many track days a year.
