Picked this up today. Feels great to be back in a car that can fit into spaces (unlike the merc!) and actually goes when you put your foot on the accelerator (unlike my 1.2 clio!)
Got a list of jobs to do on it, the first one being that there are no rear brakes! Drove it 20 odd miles today and...
I had a citroen in today. 2008 and 48,000 miles one owner from new. NEVER been cleaned since the day she got it.
Dog hair, food crumbs, long female hair all over the place... Not nice.
Nothing else to do but to take the seats out. Would have been impossible to clean it properly without...
Just found these on offer, they're 'ok' for washing the car, but for us detailing geeks, they're a very cheap and washable wheel cleaning mit! Just ordered myself 4 of them. :)

My mate has a. 1.2 clio, 2002 16v thing.
Every now and again as he changes into second gear, the revs rise to 4000rpm. As soon as he changes gear or switches off, it's fine for ages. Then out of the blue, it will do it again.
Anyone had this before?
My laptop has today started popping up a adverts all over the place, PC protection, driver cleaners, java drivers out of date, eBay adverts, even Cliosport has adverts on it now which I've never had before.
Look!
Literally every time I move the cursor or click the buttons, another as pops...
My good friend Russ_16v at Southwest Autos contacted me a while back, askinging me to look at / sort out a car he'd just taken in. Apparently is was a bit neglected....
Now, with all due respect, Russ, by his own admission, isn't one for cleaning cars so when he said that, alarm bells should...
Me and my mate Sam tagged along to LeMans this year (Thank you to everyone for making us feel very welcome, we had a BRILLIANT time!)
We decided that my passat was a bit too dull for the 1050 mile round trip. Sams van is a nail, and none of the other of our 18 cars really floated our boat...
Alex W? HMS boat bomber?
I'm not very good with diesels but a mate of mine has a 54 plate clio dci 80.
It starts, ticks over and sounds perfect. Quietest one i've heard in fact.
But on boost, it horses out blue oily smoke.
It had a new turbo, intercooler and all pipework from Renault in...
I've currently got a full up slow as s**t iPhone4. On orange/EE.
I've just got an iPhone 5s (?) on orange/EE. Direct from orange so brand new in the box.
What do I do? I've got a new SIM card for the new phone but I don't want to lose my messages, pictures, etc etc from my old phone.
Can...

wasn't this some 500+BHP lunatic mobile??
Such a shame to see it like this. :(
I am s**t I know. I didn't take any pics so I have taken them from here....

My work radio has DAB written on it. How do I use this function?!
Do I need an Ariel?
I'm fucked off with radio one and with the normal Ariel it's the only station I can pick up cleanly.
Ish. I just need to tax it.
I re connected the battery, and drove it to work. It started first time! I then washed it and polished it using some AF triple. Then I tried this Hydr02 that everyone is banging on about. Very impressed! And I didn't fcuk it up JD .... ;)
Anyway, Not bad for 25...
This is for a Passat but everyone knows CS knows all the answers...
I have a VW passat 2003 (B5?) and the standard stereo is good but I want CD/iphone/ipod etc plus maybe a small amp/sub at a later date.
I have the standard CD/radio and CD changer in the dash in a double din arrangement.
I...
There are no words to describe the smell coming out of this car. Foul putrid rotting dog piss, dog hair, piss on the seats, every piece of interior trim is coated in a film of nicotine.... Never seen anything like it. Oh and that passenger footwell is rock solid. No idea what it is or how it got...
Been a bloody good car this has. A bit sad to see it go tbh.

Picked this up last night. Paid far too much money for it but it's worth it for the noise!
Spec; JMS inlet, trophy recaros, eibach springs, stainless exhaust, black powder coated turinis, cup splitter and cup spoiler.
Man maths told me that buying and running this until the tax runs out...
Ok they're replicas, but with good tyres and recently refurbed, they're cheap for someone!

So I'm sat here waiting for someone and decided to show off some of my work...
I bought this van as aside from being caked in cement and mud, it is proper straight. No dents, and under the dirt, in very very good condition!
Sadly I never meant to clean it today, I just got carried away after...
Oh. My. God!
Turn your speakers up to max!!!

When you screamed up behind me then sat on my back bumper in a 30mph zone, were you expecting me to race you? Or were you trying to see what radio station I had on??
I had three kids and my wife in the car, which you could see as I went past you as you joined the roundabout, yet you still felt...
So i've never had one of these.
What is it? How does it work? If I wanted to put a 'pops and bangs' map on a mates car, but fit the 98 ron map onto my car, is that do-able?
How useful are they as a fault finding tool? I appreciate they're not as good as clip, but are they as good as a snap...
