So, I bought this roughly 5 years ago. It wouldn’t run as the dephaser was so knackered, it had been keyed down one side, looked proper sorry for itself.
BUT it was really straight, never had an accident, subframe had never been off, no rust, low miles at 55k, and I knew I could make it lovely...
Good day all,
My work have just brought out a new offer and I thought i'd share it on here as it's seemingly very popular!
We are offering 6 or 12 Months 0% finance on all bodywork. This could be a basic wheel refurb or a full on restoration.
The company I work for is called Dick Lovett. On...
I've had this ages (for me) so thought I'd stick some pictures up after a quick wash and Hoover after work tonight.
176,000 miles and looks/drives like it's done 20,000 miles. It's bloody lovely.
It's the older straight 6 engine and 5 speed auto as opposed to the newer V6 and 7 speed, but...
I love this little car. It's fantastic!
I washed it after work and took some pics as I've got someone half interested in buying it.
If anyone wants a cheap to run, quick, comfy car I'd thoroughly recommend one. (In red or silver, black is a pain in the f**king ass!)
What would you buy and why?
The only road miles the car sees are to and from the track.
Owner is a very competent driver too.
Car has 56mm bolt spacing.
As above.
I foolishly recommended my friend to buy one and now he's moaning like f**k because he can't get more than 200 miles out of a full tank.
It has a decat but it STINKS of fuel at the rear. Car drives perfect though. I just took it round the block and can't fault it.
I have a...
Any recommendations? I want a front USB so I can play tunes from my iPhone, a pre-out for my sub and a CD player.
Cheap. Not looking to enter SPL but I don't want any rip speed junk either.
No clue what to buy.
11 months of dribs and drabs working on it, and this is the end result. To say I'm happy with it is an understatement!
Work we've done;
4 new dunlop SP Sport tyres, 205-40-18
New discs and pads all round
Wheels refurbed and re-polished
Full service
Brake fluid change
New timing...
As above. I've spent a total of less than £500 on televisions (4 of them!) in the last 7 years and it's now time to replace the one in the lounge. Yes I'm tight.
I want it to be able to work on wifi if possible so I can get Netflix etc. I'm not a boffin so super hi resolution doesn't interest...
Which parts do they share? Anyone know?
I want to fit my 172 cup coilovers, my 172 wheels/spacers and a 197 steering wheel/airbag to my 2007 Renault Modus dci 86.
Does anyone know if this is possible??
Don't ask me why. Other than I have the parts and it won't cost me anything.
At work we're having a nightmare with new cars. The paint is ridiculously soft and we're scratching them when cleaning them, tree sap is etching into the paint along with bird s**t.
Up until now me and another guy have been sorting the worst ones by machine polishing them. But with 40+ sold...
My mate is in the market for a 197. He wants recaros, would prefer black and it will do 2/3 track days a year. This seems to fit the bill.
Anyone know it?

My Dad collected his new car on Tuesday. Various s**t going on at home means I only had chance to drive it today.... Holy f**k! Pulls like a train! Mental for a diesel.
535d in MSport spec.
Space grey, black leather and optional white stitching.
As standard it comes with pro Navigation...
How??
Basically I have hundreds of pictures of some of my old cars. I want to store them all in a folder on my work computer.
Some if the pictures are on my phone, some are on Facebook, some are on photobucket.
But I want them all in one place (my work computer has a seemingly infinite...
Car is an 04 dci 65 dynamique.
1) will coilovers fit from a mk2 ph1?
2) if they won't, will coilovers from a mk2 ph2 1.2 fit?
3) is it worth blanking the EGR on these?
4) will a dogbone mount from a 2.0 1£2/182 fit?
Thank you please.
My battery has died once today and it's nearly gone again now.
I've noticed some arrow thing in the top right, is that something turned on that's causing battery drain??
As above. Driving home tonight reminded me how diabolical the headlights are on my passat. I need brighter and whiter lights as opposed to the dim yellowy rubbish it currently has.
I don't want an HID kit because I don't trust the cheap ones and I don't want to pay £100's on a proper kit...
I've been asked to sell this by my wifes aunties new husband. It is his daughters car. (Wish I never said anything, got the thing on my driveway now!!)
Apart from some stone chips on the front, its pretty much perfect...
Chaps.
My mates 172 had a. New dephaser about 4 years ago but the engine has only done 150 miles since then.
On Friday it was taken on track (with its new throttle bodies and mtec ecu mapped by Sabre Tuning) and after a successful day, it conked out on the final cool down lap.
It failed to...
I'd love it if this came back on the forum!

Can anyone tell me what wires do what? As in colour correspondence?
Live

About to have them wired up to a stack dash and the auto electrician doesn't want to do guess work and blow the dash up as it costs over a grand! Lol
