I went along to the Chelmsford meet last saturday...nice turn out and met some more top peeps.
Fantom had a set of rear spacers for sale,so i snapped these up and they were fitted last night,car holds the road so much better now :cool:
will get someone to take a pic in the next few days for me...
After everything was checked and checked again and then checked once more...alex drove the 30 odd miles to pick me up and take me back to get my car.
Great bloke and would recommend his work to anyone.
Whilst there he just so happened to have a set of 20mm front spacers for grabs,so these were...
found out it had the wrong sparkplugs so these were replaced with genuine renault ones
think the pollen filter needed doing lol
new oil and filter change too but no pics of that,oh well..:rasp:
Anyway,the only thing i didn't have a receipt for was the belts/dephaser and after speaking to a few people on here,mainly alex and mark @Dr.jekyll
parts were ordered and alex got to work.
Towards the end of March i booked in with AlexW and dropped my car to his on a saturday night...we live approx 30 miles from each other and he dropped me home,so he could take his time on my car the next day.
I asked him to take plenty of photo's and to box up all the old parts for me(which all...
The dynamiue was sold to a friend for £800 and he sold it within the hour for £1450 lol....i wasn't bothered,that's my holiday paid for in august:D
After much asking/arguing with my boss about getting the belts etc...i told him i would sort it and he could give me £200 cash back...agreed and...
The car was looking all good and i drove it around for a couple months,my boss kept "forgetting" to get the parts for now but everything looked good under the bonnet,no noises etc of any concern....plus i was doing 80 odd miles a day to and from work and it was all plain sailing.
In Febuary i...
So thought i better start a thread about my car,pictures will be shared/stolen from other people as i only have a Blackberry and the camera on it is s**t.:o
Anyway,i had always steered clear of french cars but never really knowing why?
I needed a cheap runabout and got myself a 2004 1.2 16v...
Timmsy..yeah graham...got 20mm on the front as per the pic and about 4 hours later in the day @AlexW fitted my rears..10mm with -1 negative camber yo!...also got eibach sportlines fitted.

a friend of mine has a v70 t5 estate running 350bhp,proper suspension,brakes,exhaust,wheels/tyres etc etc etc.....it's a f**king rocket of a car.
One of the quickest things i have been in/driven and it's automatic!!!!
Been tuned by a place up near birmingham,think they are called KLM or...
welcome to the ph1 club;)
put some pics up mate and check through any history to see when/if the belts and dephaser have been done.
if it sounds like a diesel on idle,it could be the dephaser
