    Close the bonnet TBH.

    Is my head gasket blown?? PLEASE HELP

    Could be numerous things, as above. Blocked cat for instance could possibly cause that. Is it going through coolant quicker than fuel - if so, HG could be the cause. Mayo under the cap is a standard thing with those engines IIRC. Get to a garage and get it checked properly.

    Tv aerial routing

    Assume you can't go outside and along the external wall ? Just a bit of cable-trunking along the lowest extremities ? It won't look thaaaat bad along the top of the skirting ?! Can you replace the skirting with some hollow stuff ?

    The Runabout

    Or not sporty at all.. like a double-negative, it cancels itself out.

    182 brakes on a 1.2 16v?

    Probably the most pointless thing to do to a Clio.. the 1.2's are massively over-braked as it is. If you're struggling to stop, suggest you just get new pads & discs to suit, and take a look at your tyres. 182 brakes look miserable anyway, if you're doing this for show I bet not many people...

    Insurance cost!

    Or how to start your own insurance company... #Havana #LestWeForget These are just about the only threads on the whole forum that don't end up with people shouting random mpg figures at each other. But because I know someone will ask, 30s on a run IIRC.

    Have I done the right thing ?

    Blue with silver wheels (tbh black wheels on blue isn't too bad!) and that's how I'd have one :up:

    Build dilemma

    Do a track day as is. See how you get on. Buy some tuition. Then, Stripping the car will make the sq.rt of FA difference apart to your hearing / sanity, on a normal track day.

    @Pacman. brother does a very decent job of PDR .. think a few bods have used him - @Phase1sr perhaps..? @Dr Jekyll ? .. Based in Harlow. Failing that IIRC, @Herr Flick (why does your name change daily!?) has a very good repair guy that he used to work with/for/or employed ?

    Audi S3, mk1 TT, R26 ex/owners

    Loans, credit cards, robbing post offices.. still got both kidneys ? If you are going to take another year to save (as per the 5k post above) another grand - is it a good idea to get a more expensive car ?! What happens when you need a pair of tyres or something... Obvs. I don't know your...

    15" winter tyre sizes

    Just run standard sizes. Make sure you're aware they aren't as effective at lower tread depths.. unless you're on a mega tight budget, if you're keeping the car for a while, just get some new ones. Even at £100 a corner, that's a far cheaper cost than ending up in the back of someone, or in a...
