    Yellow sludge oil cap ??

    Standard feature on the 1.2 IIRC. Condensation due to not getting hot enough.. think the breather is a pretty naff design ?

    Cambelt Garages, for those chancers out there.

    Must have bought a whole new car at that price !!!

    Canon 400d - Bag & Accessories

    If you want any help, just shout. You get special privileges driving the right car ;)

    So gutted :(

    Awful.. but never mind .. sh*t happens ! At least there's no doubt you're going thru her insurance (hopefully thru your legal protection?) so it's all sorted as fast and easily for you as possible ! Good luck :)

    Canon 400d - Bag & Accessories

    I've got one of these .. http://products.lowepro.com/product/SlingShot-202-AW,2192,4.htm (I think it's the same as Tom's mentioned above!) and it's perfect for my 7D, couple of lenses and some extra bits (wallet etc) when needed. Don't think I paid much for it though ? Can't remember...) All...

    Intermittent wipers not working

    Has it got a rain sensor in the middle of the windscreen ? Pour some water over the sensor and see if they come on in pos.1 ...

    Think my timing is out, any Renaultsport friendly garages in/near West Sussex?

    Drop Scrooge a PM and see if he can take a look over it for you at some point soon. Failing that, I'm in west Basildon/Lower Billericay depending who's asking and have a 182 here to compare with if you like ? If it's dropping revs I'd suggest a vacuum is blocked or the ICV is duff. Wouldn't...

    So gutted :(

    Glad you're alright .. your passenger sounds to be in more of a mess.. was he/she looking out the window or licking the glovebox at the time !? :S Cars aren't really designed to be 'safe' at the rear .. well they certainly weren't in the mid 90s when this was designed. If you want to know...

    Pressure Washers - What's the Best Current Model?

    IIRC the Nilsfik (sp?) ones have metal impellers and are generally highly rated compared to the Karcher ones which have plastic impellers !? Seems a mental amount of money to spend on a PW to me though Charles :o My £30 Halfords one was fine for a few years ! The unbranded small cheap looking...

    Intermittent wipers not working

    Auto wipers ? If mine's on the first mark, it won't do anything until it needs to. I know you've said it's a cup, but did some of them come with this ?! I'm unsure...

    Total Opposites

    Not sure about total opposites .. or your iPhone photography skills haha.. I'm sure I've seen much better from you before :o Not sure what's going on with the black one either TBH... is that the right place for the plate ?!

    photography courses

    One other hint is that if you're after a particular shot - fireworks for example... search for your subject on Flickr and then check out the exif for a few shots and you've got your starting point. Take your shot and see how you get on. Makes it easier than guessing from the start c**til...

    photography courses

    Nope. I just used my camera until I figured it all out ;) Was bloody complicated compared to my bridge camera before the SLR. Read the guides on here, buy a 'nifty fifty' and just get involved. Taking it out for the day going to a park or into the nearest City will teach you more than a...

    The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

    Nice. Bit of a change from recent years eh ! :o LOL .. why not do a 'forgot my password' thing ? Spoon haha ! Love it. Bit weird but yeah, why not ! One of my furry alarm clock - messing about last night with my 50mm ..: Straight off the camera :evil:

    Fuel cap crap 182.... Universal cap for winter....

    Tyre profiles

    Sell the 45s and just get 4 of the same (and right) size ! I wouldn't want to induce negative rake like that. It will look daft and handle awkwardly I'd imagine too...

    Worthing to Bedford ? 230 mile round trip... Buy a map, man ;)

    Think my timing is out, any Renaultsport friendly garages in/near West Sussex?

    I'd surgest going to see MWM in Staines, K-Tec in Dorset (possibly a bit of a trek) or Danny/Fred in t'Midlands. There's Renotec (something like that) in Portsmouth and Ren7oaks in Sevenoaks. I think Fred (and probably other people on here that aren't 'specialists') has a spare set of...

    Do 17" alloys look 'chavy' ?

    Yes but if the overall diameter of new wheel/tyre is 10mm higher, it'll raise the car off the ground and not make any difference to the arch gap http://www.tyrecentrenorthampton.co.uk/image_library/library/t/tyr/tyrecentrenorthampton.co.uk/orig_one_series_006.jpg .. pour examplé ;)

    Nice ph1's, worth tucking away for a few years?

    Keep it as a second car ? Does anyone insure these as Classics yet ? In ten years of sitting around doing nothing it'll need new tyres, belts, blah blah blah... it'll cost a fortune to get back on the road - that's assuming everything that should move still does (suspension etc) and things...

    Good Photography magazines?

    What camera have you got dude ? I used to get the PhotoPlus Canon edition.. was alright but I ended up with over a years worth and realised I was out growing it... it's super basic (well I think so) but at the same time I did pick some useful tips up when I were a noob...

    Are you sure that's wise, sir?

    Rollers are phenomenal ! http://youtu.be/Yl6yJQctedc?t=50s http://youtu.be/Yl6yJQctedc?t=50s <-- skip to 50seconds. A few seconds later and that chinquchento thing would have been a pancake.

    Rainx - its brilliant

    I assumed you already had the G1 from your post.. Anyway, on the pot I'm pretty sure it says to use plain kitchen towel to apply - then just sprinkle water on the screen and use another clean sheet to remove.

    Focus door protectors?

    Ford put these on some of the managers cars and didn't tell them.. some noticed, some didn't .. some mentioned they heard a funny noise but didn't know what was making it. :o I think the main aim is to protect your own car .. however it's a far nicer touch condition than the sharp (in...

    Who said anything about putting it in the bin ? G1 is a far superior product.. why would you want to use the lesser product especially at this time of year ?!
