ok, here's the pics... what do you guys think would be best to sort that out? :S

lol, ok cool. Wondered what was going on there for a minute!

did you see that link i put in your thread Russ?

hmmm...

mine suffers from this too, usually dependant on weather (worse in summer :S ). The bloke I had look at mine said it was an intermittent fault and would probably mean replacing the aerial base/cable or both :( It's fine 99% of the time, I think high pressure seems to affect it!

yeah sounds like a plan! Never thought of chips away! :o

it's classed as deception, potentially voiding your insurance. See here

Link although they seem to have a minimum order of 5.

yes it's insurance term, not driving experience. You could insure your car and park it on your drive for a year and still earn NCB :)

yeah that's what I thought Fred, think I'll see what the guy has to say tomorrow when he phones me back and it'll be 2 options, either ££'s back to me or 2 new alloys! I think I know which option he'll go for! ;)

afaik the aerial cable travels up the A pillar at the side of the windscreen mate and up into the roof lining. I have no idea which side tho, but I'm sure somebody will be able to help you more :)

sorry, they're standard 182 anthracite rims Fred, haven't got ay pics at the minute but can do when the weather lets up. The alloys aren't chipped as such, they're just kinda marked where the tool has been pressed against the face of the alloy whilst prising the centre cap off.

basically I had 2 new tyres fitted yesterday by a national mobile tyre fitter. I specified they had to be careful with the rims and I showed the guy how the centre caps pop off the alloys. He fitted the tyres in about 30 mins I paid him and off he went. The rims look fine on first inspection and...

I know a company local to me, they're called Burnley Bead Blasting and basically do every kind of shot/sand/bead blasting and powder coating you can think of. Oh and he does mine free (if I ever need them!) ;)

Glad your ok mate, as said before these clio's (for all their faults) are pretty strong. This is how my mates ended up about 2 months after passing her test...

arse mate, that's a shitter. Doesn't the fact that you went into car infront mean a claim from your insurance? Thought it came down to leaving a safe distance? :S

did you copper grease the back of the pads? Does it feel like they're sticking in the calipers under braking?

lol, like I said Damo ;)

yeah probably the fluid, didn't change that so it's next on my list!

i faded the front stock ones the other day in mine, although it may have been because I'd recently fitted new front disks!

thought as much, but doubt Cat 2 to 1 will save you £190 on insurance, lol!

is the thatcham rating still valid if you DIY it?

take them out ;)

lol, i know talk about making things difficult! :S

Nah,"due to government cut backs, the light at the end of the tunnel has temporarily been swiched off!" Pah! :rasp:

ah we see... :o

God I'm confused! lol! Just when Id' sorted the 52/54/58mm conundrum I come across this which states theres two different strut widths! 23mm and 27mm, how the hell (without stating the obvious) will I know which I need? :S :S

lol ,surely it should be done in daylight as there's no 'light' to let in at night? Tints seem 10x darker at night. my rear 'medium smoke' are like looking thru limo tints in complete darkness!

they tested them at night, correct? :S

lemonnobby1 (or whatever he's called) can get them PM him :)
