If you have a mate that you can bombard with questions and can help you out when you're stuck, go for it! But leave the mapping to the professionals. Of which there aren't that many!

What clutch was fitted? I've had a cheap clutch fail within 6 weeks of it being fitted.

Makes no odds. They can't test something that isn't there.

A credit to you Midge!

They're yellow. I reckon it's a multi changer cable.

New money c**t.

It's a cool track but it's probably one of (if not THE!) fastest tracks. With zero runoff. If you get it wrong, you're taking your car home in bits. Here is the mental Escort van....

It was for me. I went out in some really fast cars! Lol What annoyed me was the guy (obviously devastated) had just watched his pride and joy get smashed and end up on it's roof, and when they were bringing it in (on a forklift!) all the t***s were there photographing/videoing it.

No. I didn't take one pic all day! An E46 M3 got rolled though, and it was the owners 'mate' that was driving it! It was absolutely fucked.

The royal nail van looks concourse compared to this thing. It's BATTERED. But it's converted to RWD, runs 10 inch wide tyres, has a massive cage in it and sounds insane.

Castle Combe. I was passenger in the second fastest thing there which was nice. :-) Although the fastest thing was a proper beaten up mk4 escort van. Absolutely mental fast.

Just got back from a track day, a new M5 was out for most of the day, looked to be having a LOT of fun!

It's a 182 so has auto lights. If you have auto lights and try to turn the fogs on, they wont. You have to physically turn your lights on in order to make the fogs work.... Which means they beep at you when you turn the engine off, no?

Without meaning to sound rude, that has as much relevance as me chatting about Biscuits. A mk2 and mk3 Clio are different cars so it's pointless comparing prices.

'I left my fogs on accidentally' I call bullshit...

Renault charge £100+ each for springs. My mate just replaced some on his 2009 1.2 Clio 3. In the end he bought a pair for £80 from Euro Car Parts. So all in all, 2 hours labour is fair, the shock doesn't seem 'too' expensive. That just leaves the springs which if they got them from...

If you have lowering springs on the car, the chances are one/both of them fell out.

All (or most) high end stuff does it. Normal BMW's it's the same as a corsa/focus but the M cars are worthless if they miss the running in service. All sorts if warranty/resale complications.

Mine on B14's;

You buy new M5 and not excited. I buy 15 year old Japanese car and I'm like a school boy at Xmas. Some ting wong.

Depends in the unit you buy. Some have fascias some don't. Type in eBay; honda CRV double din kit. And you'll see what I mean.

Yes they fit fine. I've fitted one before.

I quote like that! Lol

The fact it has 6 owners kind of defeats the 'low mileage' spin it has. If I was you I'd look for one with the usual 60/70k for £2500 like Ron Says. Low mileage is only any good as a selling point if it's also only had 1 or 2 owners.

As a daily, I actually preferred my dci to my 172! Around town under 50mph, the torque is more than adequate. They are fantastic little cars, and genuinely the cheapest cars to run. Ever. There is a 55 plate one by me for £995 and I was tempted by it but I need a Break from clios for a bit.

Gearbox oil sorts that out. If you've had it out, make sure it hasn't picked and grit/s**t up whilst being on the floor!

Nice!

Get some Eibach Camber bolts. Take it to a reputable alignment place. Under £50 all in.

It makes absolutely no difference. It's a mass produced French car not a Mk1 Escort Mexico or a Delorean. Just enjoy it whichever you choose. :-)

Nice spec! Best colour too. I hate those wheels though. f**king awful looking things.
