Test the dash clocks, hold the mode change button on the end of the stalk, and then turn the igntion to the second point, all the dials should go nuts. If the speedo doesn't move you know you've got problems at that end.

That'll be perfect. Don't bother with ice packs, just fill the fucker with ice, has always worked for me.

As Ron is our point of contact, I'll ask him nicely to call and see their opinion on BBQ's etc.

I think I paid a fiver from asda, keeps my s**t cool as a polar bear's b****cks.

Get yourself a cheapo tesco/asda coolbox for the boot mate, mine has served me well for two years.

Ah, rollocks.

Where in London is the key?? If there's someone around where ever the key is, I don't mind going and getting it and posting it first class recorded to ya?

Getting slapped around by the boys and thrown out. But really, if they allow fires, the last camp site I went to actually supplied you with fire wood for a fiver, then it'd be decent. If not, it's no biggie.

You're all f**king mental. 90% of tesco booze won't be refrigerated. So what would you rather have? Booze that's been on a shelf then in your cool box for 20 minutes before drinking it? OR booze that's been in iced water in your boot all day so is cold? Oh, and as long as the place is BBQ...

He'll forgive me, I'm the reason he bought a ph1 :o

I'm going to talk to Joe later and actually buy tickets for the event and phone the camping place. Time to get my organised on. Oh, and for all those worried about cold drink, from a seasoned CSS camper, it's simple: Buy chosen poison day or two before event. Buy big bag of ice at the...

It looks brilliant, but FFS, for the love of god, remove that front bumper, run a line of masking tape long that meeting edge, and paint the top face. All that flaked paint ruins it. With it being such a harsh line you won't even notice the masking.

Sod everything else, who's porker?

Re: WOW Looks cracking, don't even mind the wheels. You haven't ruined some 50k classic, it's just a set of older Renault wheels on a old-ish Clio.

My primary concern is that you still have the "elf" sticker fitted. Totally ruins the clean look of the car.

I've driven on 17's, generally, weight, tyre profile, and looks are the worst bits. Better pictures needed though.

Now THAT is proper OEM+ Looks bloody stonking. A touch lower for me but that's it.

The more I see of these the more they grow on me. Pictures don't quite do it justice for the minty white freshness that is undoubtedly present.

I can't wait to see his little ginger noggin again. Will you be covering it in blue tape like gally did that year? LOL

This thread is weird. Car's kinda cool, but the thread is weird.

Hmmm, its a brilliant looking car, I have no doubt about that, but I don't think the 'vette wheels maximise it's potential. They don't look bad, just not brilliant.

LOL! I asked if he had a BIN price, I didn't want a long ass conversation.

I have actually, and he's asked me what I want to pay. I don't want to offend him though. It was a funny text exchanged when I started asking if it still had this and that and so on.

TBH, I know I won't get it as I don't really want to spend more than a grand on it. At the end of the day it's a 13 year old clio with 108k miles, it's only special because I loved it the first time.

Higher. LOL. Lights? Sod that, if I bought it, it'd be having new lights, front wings and front bumper. I know how they're fixed together! LOL

I've refrained from commenting because I was waiting for you to polish it to within an inch of it's life but I can wait no longer. f**king love it Rod, marvellous motor.

LAWL. Miles off Dave, miles. So I have a problem. I found a reason to buy it, great first car for the gf :rolleyes: BUT! The insurance with 0 no claims (they're all on my zed) is £890. That seems a lot of cash for me to drop on something just for fun :(

Why orange anyway Mark? Why not the blue? The orange looks superb in the flesh, but I'm just surprised to have seen more than a couple of this colour already as it seems the unlikely choice.

Great progress, and I know you won't listen to me, but just take those wheels and have them acid dipped. You can rub them down afterwards, and paint them yourself, you'll just need high build primer for the first few coats is all. It'll be a much better job taking off all that old paint!

The condensers split pretty easy. Following steps: (for the 100th time) Take to kwick fit, they have a no fill, no charge, system going on. Kwick fit try to fill it up. First off, the system is vac'd. Then, a pressure test. If it passes the pressure test it can be filled and you'll...
