A friend of mine on facebook has just befriended someone and the following is his profile picture :dead:

... do you use when using Tardis? Can't be forking out for expensive ones when PB say you need to throw them in the bin after using them. Cheers

Hi, Now the snows all gone I'm fed up with having a dirty car, so gonna purchase some bits and bobs and get cleaning. I'm gonna get a claykit and some SRP. Should I get Autoglym HD Wax or Colli 845? Cheers

Hi, For the past couple of months, the electrical fault light would come up on my dash and then the car would start to misfire. Finally changed the coilpack around a month ago and that sorted the problem. The car then ran better than ever. Cue another problem! A couple of weeks after, the snow...

Hi, I've always been under the impression that jet washing the dirt off a car, before hand washing, causes scratches due to the bits of dirt. Is this true? I don't know why, but I've always thought that this is the case :S Also, any do's and don'ts for jet washing cars? I want to give my car...

Hi, Skidded into a curb earlier today and knocked the front alloy wheel. It didn't look that bad, only a slight scuff on the alloy and abit of curbing so I thought I could just buy a new wheel and have done. But when I went to set of, when going in a straight line, the steering wheel is now at...

Hi, me again :) I need a decent wheel brush, so I was wondering what you all had? I've got some Envy brushes for the face of the alloy but I want a brush for the inside. I know the EZ wheel brushes are highly recommended but I can't justify spending £20 on a brush when there's much cheaper...

Hi, Found out that I need a new coilpack for my 1.2. Just got 2 Q's. Is it just the coilpack I should buy or the coilpack with the leads? How do I go about fitting it? Cheers :)

Hi, Which spark plugs do I need for my 1.2? Like, what size, pole, alt/rec? Bosch or NGK? Theres about 7 different types on EuroCarParts and I'm confused. Also, how do I go about fitting 'em? Thanks in advance

Hi, Just spent 30 mins searching on here for an answer to no avail. Anyway, I've heard the 1.2 throttle body is a b*****d to clean. I don't know much about cars, so is it worth me trying to have a go or should I just take it to a garage? How much would it roughly cost to do at a garage? I...

Hi, I'm looking to purchase another drying towel so I was just wondering what drying towels you all had. I've currently got a I4D Uber Blue drying towel but I'm not sure whether to get another one of these or have a change and go for a I4D Uber Premium Yellow drying towel. Is one better than...

Hi, Just wondering if anybody has any pictures of the Philips Bluevisions sidelights in the clusters but not on? Looking for some new sidelights but thought they might look abit stupid without Bluevision headlights. Cheers in advance

Hi, Asked about this a while back but its got progressively worse for some reason. Anyway, I've noticed that my car starts to judder when driving in any gear. Sometimes it happens after driving for two minutes, sometimes its when I've had the car over 3500 revs :S From when I last asked I got...

Hi, At the moment I've not got the time or money to spend on loads of different polishes and waxes etc although I do like to keep the car looking presentable. It looks decent after a typical wash but I would like to give it an extra shine. I've been looking at the quick waxes that Megs make...

Eyup, Just wondered what you lads use on your windows outside and also inside the car? I usually just use a generic cleaner which does the job but I was looking for something thats really good. Cheers in advance

Hi, Done a search but no answers related to my tyre size. Anyway, I've got the standard dynamique alloys with 185/55/15 tyres. The were on about 36 all around but I read somewhere that they should be around 31 - 33 so I put them to 33 but they look abit flat. I noticed the car feels much...

Eyup, Had a Trophy go past me in Rothwell, Leeds earlier at about 3ish. Anyone on here??

Hi all, When I've drove my 1.2 51 Clio Dynamique 'aggressively', like not changing gears until high into the revs, I get the following warning light (the one below the petrol light). Pic nicked from google btw. With the light on the idle on the car also seems to be jittery, going from 500 down...

Seen this twice now. Saw it a couple of weeks back driving like a bellend through Rothwell and saw it again a few days ago at Colton Sainsburys petrol station. Had dark wheels iirc. Anyone on here?

Hi, My car has suddenly decided that it now likes squeaking when I brake. Just done a search and it says to put copper grease on the back of the metal backing plate. How the flip do I do this and get to the metal backing plate? Cheers

Hi, Modding on a budget at the minute as it's costing me an arm and a leg to keep it on the road and running. Anyway, slapped some clear repeaters on and stuck silvervisions in the front. Also bought some silvervisions for the back but not overly keen on them so I'm just gonna leave the orange...

Hi, When driving and I steer to the left about half way between full lock and half lock I get a sort of knock sound and then it sounds like something is grinding/rubbing on something. It only happens when turning left, its fine when turning right. Anyone know what the problem could be?? Cheers

Hi all, Looking to buy some silvervisions and wondering how much do you actually pay for yours? I'm looking at the Phillips ones and they're about a tenner which I think is quite expensive for 2 bulbs :dead: Am i just being tight? haha Cheers

Hi all, Noticed a few days ago that there are a number of dead little flies in my headlights :dead:, like the ones that appear on the front of your car. What I'd like to know is; How the funk did they get in there? And how can I get them out? Fanks for any help!

Eyup, Are the handles below the same the ones that are in a CS? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/RENAULT-DOOR-HANDLE-CABLE-TYPE-CLIO-MEGANE-SCENIC-PAIR-/110523379880?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item19bbb4f0a8 Cheers

As above :)

Hi, As title says really, how the flip do I get the front diamond off? Cheers

Hi, Just been reading the 'Spraying Renault Diamonds' guide and understand it all until the little amendment at the bottom which says something about wet flattening the primer :S. Whats that all about? Can't I just do the sanding then primering then spraying then lacquering? Fanks

Eyup, After cleaning the car I couldn't help but notice that the exterior plastic bump strips let it down abit. I'm eventually going to colour code them but for the time being having to put up with them. What can I use to get them black and shiny? I've heard WD40 is good for this. True...

Hi all, I've recently noticed that my Clio seems to have a hatred for tiny hills. I travel up the same road nearly everyday and it's starting to irritate me. The road is only slightly on a gradient. Scenario: I pull off the roundabout onto the road in third, then shortly change into fourth...
