if anyone's interested outside of ebay they're £350 ono ;)
Well to say I'm mightily pissed off is quite an understatement :mad:
You'll need the full story, basically my driveway is a bit full as I've got a megane 225 in a million pieces on axle stands waiting for parts :rolleyes:
I can usually pretty much squeeze 5 cars on the drive & in the...
Not a clio ;) but still a renault :rolleyes:
Got myself a Megane 225 in part-ex for my civic and I've got a problem with the xenon headlights
The xenon headlight on the drivers side isn't working, found that the bulb was broken so got a new one, put it in & it still didn't work.
I then...
Well I wanted her to go to a genuine enthusiast from 1 of the clio forums but I've only had 1 person genuinely interested since feb so she's now on Pistonheads

I'd rather not do it but she may even have to go on ebay, since my job may be about...
Need some help so here's the story.......my garandad has retired now so he's decided he wants to get in on the whole "computer revolution" so I've sorted him out with a laptop & internet access.
Now I'm trying to teach him how to use it but the problem is that he's never used a computer...
Saw you on Queens Drive about 17.45, I was in the valver that flashed ;)
Love the Illiad so much better :cool: winds my housemate up as his is silver & it's a gay colour in comparison :rasp:
Spotted you near the forest park & ride, never seen 1 around these parts befrore :dapprove:
Was filthy dirty & still looked lush :cool: funny thing was, I was telling my brothers mate at the time about the trophy & why I want one :D
I've got my eye on a ph2 172 lump
I'm considering dropping it into my valver, I'd like to know a few practical things about the conversion
Firstly what bits bolt straight onto the Mk1 without modifications? The lump I'm looking at is a ph2 and will come with subframe, gearbox, complete hubs...
Can anyone point me in the right direction with this?
I've bought a civic coupe to fix up & sell on. It was taken to an independent garage for a service & cam belt but they royally fucked it up :nono: and they were forced to replace the engine with a used one.
I want to try & find out the...
:S At least I think it was, coming out the car park at the back of midland magneto in Nottingham about 5.30 this afternoon
It looked like dave, 182 was the right colour but unless my eyesight is fcuked :quiet: the wheels weren't black :S
I was on the scum shuttle :dead: so you wouldn't have...
As above, I've decided to sell my valver and I would like to buy a 182 Trophy, as I'll be able to afford it without much hassle.
Now I'm doing my research into these cars but I'd like to have a proper look around 1 as part of it. I was wondering if there are any trophy owners local to me that...
Does anyone have some information on Radbourne Racing?
I'm looking at buying a Williams that has been "fettled" by them from new.
As far a I can tell from google etc, they were a renault dealer that also tuned cars up so to speak.
I've only been able to find some info on work they carried...
Had a pretty busy day yesterday. Got a reasonably early start which resulted in me & my housemates giving our cars a clean
Big german tank & my valver
V6 just before he started to put on his £80 a tub swissol wax
Then went to pick my mate Greg (creggers) up and got to the mini meet at...
After 2 years of ownership and the removal of the standard alarm sounder, my car has mysteriously grown another one this evening :S
It sounds intermittantly when moving or while on the throttle, it's very annoying and embarrasing. I can't do much about it now I'm at work but I'll have to get...
At least I think it was a cup :S white with the spoiler :cool:
I was underneath my mates volvo putting the exhaust on at the time so couldn't really wave or say hello :rolleyes:
Anyone here?? drove past my red (filthy:o) valver and a white volvo T5 on axle stands
Since most of you all know about how some chav fucktard in a flying corsa tried to kill me & the naples on bonfire night :mad:
It's all finally been sorted & fixed :D
I finally got her back on christmas eve, but since I was working all over christmas I didn't get chance to take any pics :cry...
Just a heads up as it's the 1st time I've seen it.
Found this site on another forum I use http://www.r2rc.co.uk/home/content/view/27/97/
It's about some new european legislation coming in 2010 that means you can only have work carried out on your car by a manufacturers dealership :S
Sound...
I'm really happy I've got my car back today, after a 2nd respray :rolleyes: :cry:
I've only had 3 hours sleep & now I'm on a 12 hour night shift :cry: so I'm sort of scraping the bottom of the barrel for enthusiasm atm ::dapprove:
My guy has done a fantastic job and there's no way you...
My mad spending spree that is
It started on thursday when the insurance cheque cleared
Paid bbaazz-08 from Williamsclio for some forged con-rods
Just sent the money to stan @ APD for some low comp pistons and all the bits to rebuild the bottom end

Where have people got these from?
I want to get some for my old man for crimbo to go on his astra, but I cant find any :mad:
Have they got some other name that I don't know about? :S Google is not my friend atm :(
Found this link on williamsclio and thought I'd share http://www.motinfo.gov.uk/internet/jsp/ECHID-Internet-History-Request.jsp
Seems as though it could be very useful for anyone buying a car, to be able to check the MOT history. It says what (if any) advisory notices were given and failure...
Right it's long overdue because of general laziness & seive like memory :rolleyes:but it's about time I get this project thread up & running.
As you all know I was involved in a bit of a nasty smash on 5th Nov 08 :cry: and my valver got a busted rear quarter, B-pillar & creased roof :evil: only...
I'm in need of somewhere to store my dead valver :cry:
What I'm after is a garage/lockup where I can keep my valver for a couple of weeks so I can strip it & keep the big bits there til they're sold.
So does anyone have, or know someone who has a space I can use to sort my car? Preferably...
Well here's the pics from the unfortunate events of 5th Nov 08 :cry:

W reg with a big oval magnex zorst, seen this in the D95 car park at work today, I usually do nights so never seen it around before :S
Anyone from here??
Asking on behalf of my mate who needs his vee servicing & cam belt changed :eek:
Can anyone give some recommendations as to where in the midlands he could get it done??
He's considering just biting the bullet and going to renault to get it done :eek: but I've told him to avoid renault in...
Saw the R27 comin off the A52 in Gamston going towards morrisons
and the blue one heading towards nottingham knight roundabout each just after 5.30 tonight
