I especially like that the multicoloured theme runs from the interior through to the outer body panels. Only a British Engineering firm like Rover could get that spot on. These were a good bus in their day though, i always thought that the Rover 75 was the car that Jaguar should have built as...

Excellent work! Just a quick suggestion, learn to drive on track with road tyres - they lose grip far easier so you can hone your abilities quicker. Especially if its wet. In the dry, in a clio, you can drive like an absolute ham fisted moron with R888's or similar and still be quick. That wont...

Looks lovely this, very comprehensive advert as well - id have certainly been calling if i was after a 3dr Mk5 Golf Gti (y)

Yup. Its fairly poor isnt it, i mean the part wasnt exactly expensive (£35 posted from Germany), so they should have just replaced it really. I think the thing that really annoys me with the main dealer is that they just dont care, i mean, the saloon 335i has full BMW history as well and the...

At least he hasnt said its a "built" engine, which seems to be the latest buzzword amongst all the instagram/youtube numpties.

After the ABS sensor, here we have some excellent bodging ... Most impressive given this car has only ever been worked on by those lovely people at Cooper BMW as it was under warranty 🤣 This is the panel next to the sunroof buttons, hidden behind it is the bluetooth microphone. The unit has...

Abs is now fixed courtesy of a £46 Pagid wheel speed sensor. Apparently the part on the right was replaced at the point i was sold the car, 700 dry miles ago :unsure::rolleyes: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr

Same. Quickly followed by "i wonder if someone is rebuilding my old one" ... P1010002 by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Mind you, that did happen in 2003 lol.

Probably not, the Americans dont get the M47, so if the box is different to the ZF 6HP, they wont care about it, map wont be available etc. Generally if you want to mod and/or DIY a BMW, get something they sell in the US, makes life a lot easier.

Yeah, my 335d sounded like that because it had no DPF ...

I did think of that, but wrapping just isnt OEM enough for me, it always looks a bit sh1t,no matter how well its been done! Thought about getting my light walnut sprayed as it would give a much better finish, but that probably wouldnt be much cheaper than buying the proper trim.

The M135i went to @Clart yesterday, so a shot of it clean for once ... Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Depreciation £1,725 Servicing £0 Insurance £150 Tax £100 Fuel £665 TOTAL £2,640 / 5 Months = £528 per month / 3,121 miles = £0.85 per mile Bye Bye M135i :cry: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on...

Thats this one: https://cliosport.net/threads/buy-an-e90-335i-they-said-itll-be-fun-they-said.824651/ Didnt really use it whilst i had the M135i as it developed a PAS leak. Have now taken a deposit on it, so just need to sort it out and get it collected as well (y)

Hundreds lol. Double garage, couple of acres of fields, plus the concrete yard! Picked the 335i up yesterday in preparation for @Clart collecting the M135i. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr All three together: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Just 335i things...

Looks great this does!! As Christopher says, get the bimec 12mm spacers for the rear, plus the lci rear light stickers and itll take years of the car (y)

On the flipside, you could probably buy another Alfa every 3 months with the depreciation you are saving by not using the Rangie lol.

I'd suggest the above as well, my old one was great ... once id removed the swirl flaps and changed to a vortex filter anyways. Quick enough, relaxed on the motorway, 48mpg no matter how i drove, nice on the twisty bits. IMG_0426 by Sir_Dave, on Flickr

The last MOT reads as if its just been rebuilt after a front-ender lol ... Repair immediately (major defects): Nearside Front Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a)) Offside Front Direction indicator incorrect colour (4.4.3 (a)) Nearside Front Headlamp aim too low (4.1.2 (a)) Offside...

This thread reminds me of this one: https://cliosport.net/threads/possible-abandoned-car.375079/ Except its "abandoned pink clio" instead of "abandoned red polo" 😂 In terms of a sensible suggestion, i assume you've put a thread on cliotrophydetailing.net?

Absolutely love looking at these things. Do not want to own one though :ROFLMAO: Still, will be an amusing read.

As per the posts above, i've used an Ezi bleed kit for the past 10 years on all my cars.

All the turbo ones just seem to break down a lot lol. Plenty done over the years, so its not like its a case of 2 built, 1 broke, so OMG they must be unreliable. Its like 30 built, 30 broken down :ROFLMAO: @Cub. s/c was awesome. Cost more to build, but just worked. As i know from personal...

People tend to go with turbo'ing as its cheaper. The usual joke on CS is that people build turbo'd clios, then they spend more time being fixed than driven. After a couple of years, the owner gets bored of fixing the POS constantly and sells up for 1/5 of the build cost. Now, i havent owned a...

Barring Brands Hatch, @MarkCup appears to be afraid of elevation changes 😂 ;)

Unless you are in something super fast, & don't mind binning it, so are pushing super hard, Goodwood is pretty dull after a couple of goes tbh, I've told Mark this on numerous occasions :ROFLMAO: Brands Hatch is shed loads better, if only for paddock hill bend :LOL::ROFLMAO::cool: then Brands...

Keep reading, the amount of complete & utter sh1tboxes he's owned is incredible 😂 Best thread on Pistonheads.

This thing is such a shed, absolutely love it :ROFLMAO: Also @leeds_182 this bloke is like you, but ramped up to 1 billion: https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&f=&t=1849380 Worth a read/follow when you're bored.

We book in October each year, have the same spot in Houx. Costs about £250-£300 each if you go out Thurs morning and come back Monday evening. Book camping/entry pass through Brian at 1st tickets, then ferry myself.

Look like D3 Audi S8 rims. Probably reps as the OEM ones are probs 19s/20s.

Cheers for the suggestion, will check the equivalent part on the 335i when i go and collect it in Feb (y) Thats probably what its worth realistically i reckon, £14-15k, then maybe £30k from Hexagon :ROFLMAO: Funny you should say that, a manual space grey appeared the other day for £8.5k, did...
