1983 Chrysler E-Class: Land Rover Defender: Mercedes Benz O405:

I have a massive favour to ask (eBay auction win permitting)! If I win an eBay auction, I have a pair of Motorcycle forks to pick up. Would anyone mind picking them up and bringing them to Llandow with them? Payment for the forks would be made by Paypal already, so you wouldn't need to pay...

Howzit Rubin. There's a few SA folks on the boards now.

I quite like them. Same Renault build quality (so cheap plastic, few rattles probably), but looks smart. If they get a good reputation, they're a nice option.

​Tony needs to lay off all those biscuits!

I'm not gonna say hell yeah I'm up for this, but it's a great idea. Toyed with the idea of selling the bike and taking up trackdays in a cheap car. There's a few 172's & 182's on eBay selling for less than a grand. Some with knackered engines, but stick a new motor in and job's a good'un!

Very clever. Bet the noise was immense.

Now we just need a picture of Daniel laying underneath it, with his mouth wide open. Awaiting the cookie dough to fall into his open mouth.

Ok. I'm gonna need a bigger mixer...

FLOL! I've been called worse, but I am storing a lot of food at present. :o

Admit it, you'd just love to see my chubby little face again. ;) I'm sure I could whip a batch up. Seeing as it's you.

If i can make it, do I need to bring cookies again?

Gonan order a pair of these. Living out in the country it gets a bit dark round here, especially with the lack of street lighting. ​If you could see my drive too, in the dark, you'd understand why these would help.

Yeah I know dude. It's not that though. Something in the lid itself is causing it. if i strip the boot lid bare, it doesn't do it. On the Mk3, there's a bit of plastic each side, which go up each side of the windscreen (inside). These seem to have a bit of movement and I'm thinking it's...

I spotted the other day down at the garage, that my front driver's side shock has no cup to hole the top of the spring in place. Should this have come from the factory, as seemingly the other side did!

The loud noise I thought was suspension, is actually the bootlid! It's still doing it now too. :(

​I take it you've upgraded the brakes as well?

A company called Ultra Racing do various strengthening bars for the Mk3 Clio: http://www.ultraracing.my/ They also sell direct on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170756329891?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

Haha. Must be him then. He was in the pump house garage? That little one in West Adderbury on the rat run between Oxford and Milton Road.

Was that you at the garage in Adderbury this morning dude? What's broken this time?! :P ​

Just spotted you on bridge street at the lights. I was in the dark grey mk3 turning right at the lights.

I need that in my life!!!! (It'd match the motorbike)

As above. If you trade in as it is, it'll be seriously reduced in value, even with all the bits on it. If you have an emotional attachment to the car, then repair it. £1800 is bloody expensive IMO for the aforementioned job.

​Definitely wasn't Ryan?

I wasn't born till '83 (Believe it or not).

I should be free for this, so I'll pop up. If it's a nice day, I'll bring 2 wheels instead of 4. :cool:

I'm not sure the fitment is correct, but the weight is totally different for a start.

Mine's a 2007 model, and has the black plastic engine cover.

AP coilovers are your best bet, and they have to be MK3 ones. ​They're around the £500 mark for a set.
