As others have said . I wouldn't worry about being taken to court . 5 weeks of him ragging it , it's his problem. https://www.which.co.uk/consumer-rights/advice/the-second-hand-car-i-bought-has-a-problem-what-are-my-rights#second-hand-car-bought-privately Second-hand car bought privately You...

Those white clips are usually tight as f**k , maybe the're a bit knackered or broken? I don't know if you've taken windscreen wipers off before ? If you haven't give them a good soak in wd40 and get yourself on of these ball joint separators. If you haven't got one already...

There are 2 of those 8mm clips , one on each scuttle panel next to the wing. Also the passenger side scuttle panel has a clip that pushes into the wing just under the windscreen. I can't remember if it's part of the scuttle panel itself or not. Tbh , you don't really need that clip , it clips...

Take your pick ! 8mm clips. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=car+panel+clips+8mm&_sacat=0

More like catapulted across the road off the barrier lol . £2500 of damage , but I was surpised how well the Clio took the impact.

Maybe because he hit the tree head on . I know when I had a prang in my old 172 many moons ago , I had an argument with a motorway crash barrier going round a bend at 60mph . I hit it with the front offside corner , bounced me across the carriageway then ended up 180* the wrong way round on the...

I'm guessing your sons ok ? 40mph , really ?

Ahhhhhh ok. The way you sounded in your other post was that you'd be getting rid in months , rather than a year or 2 . Personally I wouldn't bother with the Sportex mild steel exhaust with the 30 month warranty . You're better off with a stainless one. Well done in bagging yourself a bargain at...

You said in one of your previous posts you don't plan on keeping it for very long . I really don't see the point in spending money on something none essential . Let say for example you spent £450 on a stainless exhaust now , in 6 months you sell it . You won't get that £450 back in your sale ...

Sounds like a neglected example. How much did you pay for it ? If it was dirt cheap I guess you can't complain too much . Depends how much money you want to throw at it to get it back to being a half decent car. It had hell of alot of MOT failures and advisories back in September 2017. Looks...

I've always found my 182 had a bit of crap reception for some of the weaker radio stations. If you've already got bad reception , fitting an inline booster of some sort probably won't fix it . You need to start with your aerial . The small Honda ones are crap , I had one years ago and binned...

Sounds like the heator resistor . As for the mirrors , like @imprezaworks said. Check the fuse , if not that maybe the switch itself...

87W is the tyre I'd go for , same as when I've bought Rainsports .

For 2 Avons from Camskill its £7.90 delivery charge .

The last few times I've bought tyres its been alot cheaper than elsewhere. 2 Avon ZV7's delivered £125.60 . Even that small local tyre place I use has said to buy the Rainsports from Camskill and they'll fit them for £10 a corner. 2 Avons fitted at f1autocentres is £168.91

Ahhhhh I get it now . The Avon ZV7 is the current Avon tyre on offer so it's not an older tyre that could have been lying on a shelf somewhere, i think , lol .

Yeah they do . But you're not gonna know the date they were manufactured until you had them delivered . That goes for any tyre , any online retailer or tyre place. It's not something that ever crosses my mind .Bit of a strange statement from @Touring_Rob

Why do you say that ? I would imagine Camskill have a high turnever of tyres as they're alot cheaper than anywhere else.

Yeah those are the Avons. Right size for me ?

Tell me about it lol . The fronts are die for a change very soon . They're pushing 7000 miles , mainly because I ran them for the first 1000 miles or so on the rear before moving them to the front. I never had a problem with them entering a motorway in the wet on a sweeping bend , they never...

I've just been totting up how many sets of Rainsport 3's I've gone through in the last 25k miles , 5 sets ?. I don't do lots of miles , but the miles I do I like to push on a bit. That's why I've always gone for the RS3's , cos it pisses down alot here in the Northwest. I'm seriously considering...

I always buy the XL version with the stiffer sidewalls and run them with 35 psi front and 32 psi rear. They are very soft , so the wear rate isn't the best. I guess that's the compromise between getting good mileage or good wet weather grip . I prefer the latter . I find them pretty decent in...

I think the OP answered his own question " The car is a daily driver so the PS3 have been fantastic all rounder so far. " He's found a tyre that he's more than happy with so why not stick with that tyre. Does it matter if the tyre is an old design if it does what it says on the tin. If they...

I doubt very much he's a dealer .

Saw them earlier when I checked out other things for sale . Looks like one of the those roadside "dealers" . Bradford and the sellers name would put me off straight away.

Like @flebay said. They don't seem to wear , I'm still on my original too , 12 and half years later . I've never seen any posts about changing them or uprated ones.

Sounds like it's gonna be the battery then . It's surprising how long they can be sat on a shelf and still hold a charge.

You're right 54mm non cup, 60mm cup . Why don't you measure yours whilst you got it up on the axle stands. https://www.cliosport.net/threads/182-60mm-hub-spacing.811944/

When my original battery packed up , that was 8 years old too , I had no lights on the dash , just the immobiliser light flashing . RAC bloke came out , jump started it to get me home. Does your central locking still work from the key fob? Mine wouldn't even lock the doors due to lack of power...
