    Assistance - Buzzing from sump area

    Good effort. Seriously. My suggestion is to just leave it be ;) What engine is it ? Does the car get warmed up properly regularly ? By that I mean driven for more than 10 miles at a time. Properly warm and then driven properly ;) 1.2s get gunked up easily... This might be a 2.0...

    Uprated brakes 1.2?

    1.2 brakes are waaaay over the top for the car as it is anyway. What are you trying to achieve ?

    200's in the snow....

    MOT related question about a backbox I had fitted!

    My loud cars have always passed. Unless for some ridiculous reason this makes your ears bleed from 100 yards away, you'll be fine. Put a gloved hand over the end of the tailpipe and get a friend / dad to look at the joints and see if it's blowing anywhere. If the pressure builds at your...

    Cutting springs

    If you're worried about the ends, cut the height out the middle and glue them back together again.

    hi :)

    Welcome. Mk2 or 3 Clio ? 14" wheels !? Get some Renault wheel trims .. might look a bit nicer ? 14" alloys are going to be hard to find. I'd just save your money and leave it be TBH .. insurance at 17 is hilarious enough as it is.

    Anyone got a spare 200k?

    The one in the auction... I can't work out if it looks badass.... Or just bad. I love the new merc units though !

    Have you checked the pump and checked oil is flowing properly as suggested rather than just bumping the thread !? Where are you based ? Take it to Fred / Danny / Mick...

    Full service history... oh except the cambelt.

    Where ?! There's 6 ads for 182s on the first page of cars for sale ... I haven't looked at the ads so maybe they're all sold. Four 172s and a ph1 also on the first page there. Of all those - I'd have the ph1 all day long.

    Full service history... oh except the cambelt.

    FLOL @ DIY for £100. Walk away. There's SO many for sale on here. If this joker can't get the belts done on time, what else hasn't he done ? Oil from the chip-pan in the kitchen .. cos it's oil, right ?

    Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement! - Updated Pics Post 142

    Re: Audi TT Quattro Sport - Clio trophy 147/500 replacement! Nice bus !! Looked at QS's before I bought the last Scoob. Was the only TT to get IMO. Would love a go in a fettled with one.. standard one was fast and drove nicely but not exciting really. Guy that came out with me from the Alfa...

    Oil pump or some wasps. I'd go with the pump TBH. Right grade of oil in there ?

    Suggestions for my 1.2 16v

    Source some Renault centre caps .. stop the sunroof from leaking .. try not to become a statistic. Car looks tidy... keep it clean .. sell it on as mint as it is today in a couple of years for something bigger/better/faster/meaner. Every time you think about buying something for it .. put...

    Small Photobooks

    Nonsense. It'll look fine with blank pages on the left... well I'd say so anyway. Leave them white and the photo pages all full of colour .. job done. Give it a go... Pad with pictures of puppies or some WordArt.

    Small Photobooks

    Silly question alert: Does 10 pages = 10 sheets in the book, or 5 sheets @ 2 sides per sheet ? Could you just leave every other page blank ?!

    Small Photobooks

    I've used Snapfish.com a few times. Think their books start at 20 pages though :dapprove:

    Bags over speakers - Install question

    All a watershield normally is, is a plastic membrane anyway. Something vaguely substantial (more than clingfilm for instance) and some silicone sealant to stick it to the inner panel and you're probably away ! Failing that - you can probably get speaker covers on eBay to suit .. plastic...
