£150?! Christ. I need to check out scoobynet more often I think. Some proper bargains on there.

those last two pics really emphasise it! Jesus!

I've still got it. 3 people have said they'll buy it and 3 people have cancelled. Only one of them three even bothered to turn up! But anyway, I have no cat and a 3 inch turbo back exhaust. My old classic had a magnex and it still burbled, just not as loud. And it didn't bang and shout like...

I'm thinking that once it's quiet, I will lose a part of the car that I love, the bobobobobobobobob that they make sounds epic with a big exhaust. (Or desaust as my boy says)

I'm having a proper hard time selling my scoob. My current thoughts are to put a quieter exhaust on it (or add a silencer?) and de-spoiler it. Then get the wheels done in anthracite and then put my wife in it and sell her fiesta. I get to keep the scoob, she will then drive it (she won't drive...

I put osram night breakers in mine the other week as the standard ones were pony. Made a good difference for sure. I can't say they're the best, they were just what our local motor factors had on offer at the time.

Get it serviced at an independent, keep the invoice, get them to stamp the book, bob's your monk house.

Cracked ABS ring, duff ABS sensor, faulty steering wheel squib (if you move them prior to fitting you'll nause it up) Best thing to do would be to take it to someone like MicKPM to get it diagnosed properly. No point in buying loads of bits for it until you now what the fault is.

b****cks. We could get an engine out, fit the manifold and refit the engine in that time. Why didn't you get a fixed price before you let them work on it??

Haha! Just noticed him!

LOL! The bloke in the yellow jacket just wasn't bothered.

Superb cars. I took one around Donnington and I didn't want to get out of it. Has to be grey or white for me though. In that order.

Chip is older than the sun.

The outside bolts can be got to on the floor, but unless you've got 6ft arms to reach the middle ones, you'll need it up on stands. All you need is a deep 13mm socket and a small extension bar. When you remove the standard seats, you'll see the black plastic washers/spacers. Removing them...

Wheel tucked in; Wheel pokey out;

My subaru has done 115k and in better condition than that. OP's write up promised so much more. :(

Chi, if you weren't such a lovely bloke, your car collection would make me hate you.

Oh dear. That's less than ideal!

If it only happens when cornering left, yes the offside.

Sounds like a driveshaft.

What he paid for it is completely irrelevant. I've just looked at he pictures (because simpleton) and it looks proper clean. A tidy example will fetch £17/1800 all day long. Hence my advice to advertise it for £1995. My cup will be going up for sale shortly for £1495. Mechanically it's spot...

£1500 is too cheap. It's a £1995 car all day long.

pics needed! Welcome to the club.

Intervals are 5 years or 72k.

Proper soft paint on these mate.

I'm doing some more reading about it and it seems highly unlikely to be the axle bushes, despite the thread I read last time. Things you should check though; Spacers behind both the rear discs, check the stub axles match on each side.

If yours is to remain a road car, maybe even a few track days, i'd stick with standard. I certainly didn't notice over £100's worth of difference! lol.

I thought all top mounts were the same on mk2 clios?

The metal prongs on the connector (loom side) bend and distort over time. This results in it not connecting properly. A lot of fcukery and messing about, but you can fix this yourself. Turn all the lights on, wiggle the plugs, wiggle the loom, find out which metal connector is playing up and...

Rear axle bushes. There's a thread on here about it. Complete pig of a job!
