I have just paid £460 with admiral, 26,8yncb,8y driving, clio182 with mods declared. How come you got it sooo cheap?! Greenlight quoted me £500+

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I make it (i'm also work dependant). Do you know if Tavistock have any, I might come down the old way?

Haven't done anything to my Mk2 yet, so will post the Mk1! Before: After (shame she's clean in only 1 of these shots):

lol thankyou :) that's 5miles away according to maps! Its coming back to me why my car was always to dirty why I lived in Plymouth..!

Can one of the Plymouth boys please confirm the postcode of the nearest car wash to the meeting place just in case I can make it? IIRC Sainsbury's PFS doesn't have one?

If your doing short trips, the MPG will go up in winter months quite a bit as the cold map effectively stays on for longer thus you burn more fuel in the cold map. Take it for a 20mins+ run, then when hot, reset the MPG. this will give you a better idea of what its doing once the engine is hot...

Can the 'im going' list be restarted so I can judge if its worth coming or not? thanks :)

in that case then, no, not that im aware of.

turn the speed dial down? mine fires about once every 10 seconds on position 1 (auto position) and the speed/sensitivity selector on minimum. (provided its light rain)

haha yes I see it now lol.

did you use an app to log the data btw?

nice, I like it! well done :)

Welcome, bad start though. Learn how to type or spell properly, not sure which is at fault here.

Congrats Nial, that 2 in 3 months isn't it?!

Mine was like this, the root cause was the power steering pump putting to much straine on the belt which was causing the tensioner to push up in the belt. it could also be a ceased tensioner. Your aux belt will need changing now as its damaged. Here's the threads relating to mine...

never had any issues in my mk1 and cars have been ok the last 60 years without abs...

people kill there car because they still drive likes its summer, even when the temperature sensor says -2C. Nothing to do with the car.

its the exit just before the bridge on the A38 where you can see the ski slope from (end of the 3 lane section).

.

Not sure if it been pointed out, but the advert says it comes as standard, so the wheels etc will be the cup wheels not the ones that's in the picture.

Don't worry its just the cold. Mines dropped also. I think its to do with the fact that the engine takes longer to reach the temperature for the hot map, thus you end up burning more fuel in the opening stage of the journey, which if its a short journey will make a big difference to the MPG.

just remember its not the camera that makes the photo awesome ;)

that's pretty cool, don't think amazon email them (think they post them out).

its the same price on amazon. (2100 for £16 and 800 for £6)

maybe because its 'on demand'? Your right though, its a crappy pricing strategy.

Why not just replace the rods?!

yeah you can hear the fuel priming form the drivers seat, its quite loud :) If in doubt, wip the inlet manifold and injectors off, turn the car over and you will see fuel spray from the jets. Whilst you there, check the fuel pipes aren't damaged/leaking.

yes, depending on how hard the impact was you could have made something in the loom come loose or damaged some wires near the front of the car. Check the coils again (even though they are new, could just be a dodgy unit). Do you hear the pump prime for 2 seconds when you turn the key then?

you should hear the fuel pump prime the lines when you turn the key (lasts about 1 - 2 seconds). another thing to check is the coil pack (i.e make sure its actually sparking at the plugs). You can test it on the 1.2's by pulling off the HT lead and holding the end near the rocker cover (or any...

oh right lol sorry. In the RSTuner software you can do 'dyno' test. It wont be that accurate, but it gives you an idea of what changed/where the powers increased. To use it, start the car, connect to car I RSTuner, go for a drive and when you ready to do the test, press 'activate PA mode'...
