I just disconnect the negative lead and leave the car as is.
Then a few days before you want to fire it up again, stick a charger on it to make sure it’s topped up.
A good battery shouldn’t go flat flat if it’s not connected to anything.
Something very satisfying about new premium rubber on freshly powder coated rims…
And fitting them was a nause. I only fit big ballon tyres and they’re easy. These stupid little cotton reels were hard work. 😂
Mate I don’t think I’ll be doing any more sadly. I’ve got the RB to do next and I think I’m done with Renaults after that sadly.
Just far too expensive now to get them anywhere near a decent standard. And that’s if you can even get the parts.
(Apart from the Mk1, that’s going nowhere)
If you’ve got a few quid about you… get one of these. Absolutely amazing and you won’t need another one. Ever.

This is brilliant. But you must make sure the roof is 100% bone dry before you do it or it may end up a bit patchy.
What size are you after?
We import these. They’re guaranteed to last a minimum of 45,000 miles.

Or if you go off road, they...
I paid considerably more than the asking price.
Seller was 100% honest in the description and I was 100% fair with my price. I’ve never ripped anyone off in the 20 years I’ve been doing this and I don’t intend to start now.
(I couldn’t resist taking it round the block despite it being nowhere...
I get this but off our vinyl guy in work. He said it’s s**t for big stuff but for smaller intricate bits it’s really good.
I always find a warmer workshop is always best too. I only do little things like badges and mirror covers. Tbh you could do the splitter in the kitchen, leave the splitter...
If you only use it only on dry sunny days, you can’t really go wrong with Nankang NS2R’s.
Not much cop on track as they do get hot quickly, but you’ll never get that hot on the road.
As a car itself I would prefer a Mk2 but as a daily I think I’d probably choose a Mk3.
Mk2’s are rusty now, parts are getting harder and harder to get and if you’re anything like me you’ll just drove it like a dickhead everywhere. 😂
The Mk3 is a bit more civilised, more comfy and I think I’m...
