Long time no reply, but anyway I'm actually in Balby now (thankfully at the very start though) and I took it to somewhere down Chequer Road called Beechfield Garage. Old bloke and young lad working there, he seemed fair enough to use for a MOT.

Washed it and also found another scuff/ding on the back bumper where I'd previously touched it up when I think some old dear had clipped it when she was having some trouble parking.

Love these since my cousin had a B reg one when I was 16. Then my best mate at the time bought an E reg one with 18k on the clock in 1991 when we were 17. I eventually got one about 10 years later, but mine was a bit tired. Still sold it to a mate, then bought it back for a short while though...

The people who have tiger sealed their mounts, how have they fared up? I'm torn between this fix with the new powerflex rubbers and tiger sealing mine. I bodged them ages ago with some cheap stuff I had from the pound shop, obviously I knew it wouldn't last forever but it's been well over a...

You do realise if you do a bit of research, then many of the Eurocarpart parts, are actually OE parts or OE quality? Meaning at times you can cut out the Renault logo and profit and get the same quality of part. Not with everything ofcourse, but in many cases you can. Also, it's not as if much...

Anyone know anywhere decent? Or rather places I should avoid. Not sure where to go, used the council last year as it came recommended and the two blokes who were there when I got my car retested annoyed me beyond belief with their attitude and ignorance.

Washed it twice (first time in almost two months)! Put the new tax disc in. Checked and corrected tyre pressures. Changed spark plugs. Checked oil and tightness of oil filter after changing it two weeks ago (filter needed a slight turn to tighten). First time I've ever used a torque wrench for...

Maybe he got his dog to type up the advert? If you were close I'd take a look at it, if not don't bother. The problem is you're dealing with cars of 8 years and upwards here, you're gonna get some problems somewhere. The good thing is there's plenty of choice. That car may be a good car, but...

No, wanted ly or a bean and nearly paid way over the odds for a cup bean from a dealer. Luckily before I saw sense the guy I phoned earlier about my current car (it had a deposit on it, but the buyer was struggling to get the cash) phoned me back telling me I could have it if I had cash. Thought...

*oh and virtually everytime I do something to my car I spray a bit of oil on it and make sure it's moving.

Funnily enough I was watching a guy across the street (who I don't know to speak to) messing about with his wifes Clio last week and he seemed to be doing something to the bonnet catch, then trying to shut the bonnet, then doing something to the bonnet catch again and it reminded me of the...

Errr drove it the first time since Monday. Also on 51583 miles: Rear Brake pads fitted Front windscreen wipers fitted Engine oil changed Oil filter changed Pollen filter changed and I'm cleaning the air filter now. I'll also hopefully change the plugs when I get my plug socket back. It's only...

How big is the buggy? We bought a Jane travel system one for about £450, reduced from a couple of hundered quid more and I asked and asked again for her to make sure it fit, she didn't and we got lucky as the wheels detach. Had it not been for that then it wouldn't have fit in. Recently when...

I'm just starting a game off and I've no real idea what to do. Got the ultimate edition, any player/team recommendations?

Think I can get 5 litres for 30 quid at the moment so I'll just get the valvoline.

RS 192 isn't too loud. Is it not to do with the sports cat? Decatting makes them quite loud, so maybe a sports cat has a similar effect.

Does anyone use the above oil? Asking as mine is nearly due it's yearly service and I've previously used Silkolene Pro Race and then for the last two years Gulf Competition, the latter which has barely used any at all. At the moment things are tight and Eurocarparts have some decent codes for...

Is this worth buying over Fifa 12? Just asking as I'm still playing that and I'm only a semi regular player (due to having a five month old taking up a lot of my time). Got the itch to buy it.

IIRC the driverside due to the way the inner is sealed means it's Renault only. I'd just do the boots now and refill with grease using large hose clips, as the boots being hard rather than soft rubber means tie wraps tend to come off. Take care when putting the passenger side inner back in...

I've been driving a Pug Expert van for the best part of a year at work (actually not a bad van to drive and goes and handles well enough) and letting the Mrs use mine when she needs it to ferry our five month old around. When I was using it as a daily, as much as I appreciated it, a lot of it...

I really like white on the 200's as I think the black on the front end really brings it out. On the 197 I'm not so keen though.

Go for the red, with black or dark anthracite wheels.

Finally got around to fitting a new washer motor.

My 192 doesn't drone at all (with standard cat) I can barely hear much difference in the car than with the standard exhaust, though I have heard a few people say it sounds nice outside. As for fit, I'm with the others on this one. Over the last three years I've tried and failed numerous times...

Let us know the ends results, wondering whether to try touching up a couple of mine or whether they need a full job.

If I was still 9 I'd probably like the astra. And i've had my share of vauxhalls and especially cav Sri's, I'm not bias against any marque but seriously - less is more.

Depends what you want and how far you want to go. Personally I'd lower it a touch (Eibachs), stainless steel exhaust if it ever needs a new exhaust and make sure it was mint, as my car is an everyday family car. However I've seen some on here which look standard to many, but are probably on coil...

Checked tyre pressures, checked oil and fluids, then swapped washer motors around to see if it cured my lack of windscreen water (it did).
