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

    What editing do you actually do to your photos, if you don't mind me asking. I've tried adjusting exposure and sorting white balance out but nothing seems to give me anything like yours. Every photo seems to come out way darker than i want it to. Only just seen your work so excuse the rather...

    Replacing a UPC on a clio 1.5 DCI 2007

    No problems mate. I would recommend that you double check the inside of the case it sits in. Often gathers water in the bottom because the seal round the outside is damaged. That's how the water gets in there and ruins them. Worth a check to find any issues before it happens again.

    Replacing a UPC on a clio 1.5 DCI 2007

    Chatting rubbish mate. It's literally just a box of fuses and relays. I've had one apart before and theres nothing in there to program to your car. Just ebay clio engine fuse box. Forget the UPC thing. Theres one from a proper breakers yard on there I would go for. Just double check the picture...

    Replacing a UPC on a clio 1.5 DCI 2007

    I couldnt find a used one that was in good condition that had decent delivery times. I would have bought a used one if i could find one in time. It was just before christmas so i didnt have much choice in the end. As long as you can wait the used ones are fine

    Replacing a UPC on a clio 1.5 DCI 2007

    No programming needed. Changed mine last year. Its a straight swap just make sure it is the correct one. The one from renault parts direct fitted my 1.5 dci 2006 if that helps

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Oh and yes. I do think they should be charged. Drink drivers are one of my pet hates. It's not normally their own lives they ruin, it's the people they hit.

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Finally, someone with some sense. All I wanted was someone who has had something similar happen to them to tell me how they got on wiht sorting it out. I think that we should be able to send footage to the police somehow and something gets done. Even if it just gets reported to the company...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Did you even read anything written above? Serious question Has anybody read anything written above or do you all just jump straight to the reply box. I genuinely want to know now. I want to know why everybody has failed to understand that a left turn lane is not for going straight on. The lanes...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    People dont read other comments before jumping straight to the exact same conclusion. I'm fed up of typing the same thing. If I type if it capitals they cant miss it

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Anyone else want to comment about being sat in a blind spot. Anyone else want to read the previous comments about it being a LEFT TURN LANE. Anyone else want to read the highway code about indicating before changing lanes, checking blind spots before moving, being in the correct lane, and...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    I have as it happens and several large vans too. When he pulled over on me my nose was actually level with the front of his cab, but for most of the clip my nose i actually a lot further back than it seems. And i know that large vehicles have blindspot mirrors that he would have seen me in. My...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Thats my problem. His observation skills are non-existent. I dont normally sit anywhere near them. But considering he shouldn't even be pulling into my lane to go straight on i didnt think twice about it. The left lane has been made to go left only until you clear the exit. Recent road works to...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    1st of all, nowhere in my post did i ask for some dickhead to comment a smart remark. So go back to lurking on the internet and keep your nose out 2nd, if you knew the road you would know that the lane i was in is for turning left and does not allow you to go straight on until further up the...

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Thats what im going to try. Funny thing is, they are based a stones throw from my back door, might go round there with 3 or 4 mates that are 6 foot wide and demand payment :) Cheers for the advice tho all

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    Thats what i feared would be the outcome. I'd have to pay to have my car repaired all because some tool can just use his mirrors. Safe to say i am not pleased, but at least he didnt wipe the whole car off i guess, look on the bright side

    Incident with HGV curbed my alloys - what can i do ?

    This happened on Monday. You can see from the video he just indicated and pulled straight over into my lane. Luckily i managed to scrub enough speed off to avoid getting wiped out. But i did bump the curb in the process and its taken some nasty digs out of my alloys. What can i do about this ...

    adjusting brake light switch ?

    I had the same issue on a mk3 and found that the aftermarket switches just kept failing. I took 3 back in one day and got a genuine one which solved the problem straight away. If thats of any help

    Clio 2.0 Front wheel bearing

    DSLR Advice.

    Unless you have used a dslr before it will be more frustrating than anything else. They work fantastic on manual modes but it takes a long time to learn how to use them well. And on holiday you want something easy to use, otherwise you will miss the shot you really want and willl forever regret...

    Post a picture of your favourite tool

    This arrived Thursday. Anybody looking for an impact wrench then this is sweet. Nice and compact for getting in behind wheels and whatever else with enough power to break my wrist. My second favorite tool in the background. Knipex flush cuts for cutting zip ties off, cant beat them. Pricey tho

    Race/track day most important tools to take?

    Something to kneel on - an old car mat works fine. The last thing you want to be doing is kneeling on gravel, trust me A brush of some kind such as dustpan brush - the gravel traps fill every nook and cranny and without air tools you have to pick it out by hand, a brush helps massively Some...

    Can someone please confirm the disc size for the Clio mk3 2.0 vvt 138bhp. Its the dynamique s spec with the lyria 16" wheels if that helps jog a memory. Europarts dont stock them and everywhere else says either 260 or 280mm. Help please ...

    cleaning dci injectors at home?

    I do the same. Fuel cleaner as often as i remember. Oh and don;t worry, i give it some revs alright. I can make my crappy little diesel Clio monster some serious motors. Swear its been mapped or something. Well, i could do that when it was running. Sad times...
