Hello folks! Just thought I would introduce myself as the new rep for Oxfordshire.
I'd like to get an idea of how many active members we have in the area, and see if anyone has any suggestions for what they'd like to do in 2015.
I am organising a meet for the 30th November, with details to...
First question for project Nick Frost!
As some of you will know, I am a "curvacious" little fellow (stop laughing at the back!).
Now from having a ride in Cub's flamer, the seats he has are a perfect fit for me. However, they're probably slightly out of my budget!
Having looked around, it...
So it's finally happened....
Nick Frost has gone and got himself a 172! After a 2nd trip to Llandow this year (August 2014), enough was enough.
Ever since being taken out in a Renault Sport Clio, I'd had a hankering for one.
The plan was to buy one on the cheap (very cheap!), and slowly...
This evening around 8pm, on the way in to Tesco I was followed by a dark grey Mk3 up to Southam Road roundabout.
Saw a Gordini coloured mk3 heading other way at Beaumont Road lights.
Also saw a GT parked up in Tesco.
My insurance is up for renewal on the motorbike, but I have broken it for parts.
I still have the frame and V5 for it (and some other minor bits), but I won't be riding again (and obviously not this bike), until I get a new bike next year.
Do I just stop the renewal and don't get any...
Hello boys and girls.
Picked up my 197 interior today, fitted the rears and came to the front seats and ran into problems!
Looks like the 5 door clio is setup differently with regards to seatbelts. How do I get round this?!
My seats...
197 seats...
standard 197 seats. How supportive are they? Good for occasional trackday use?
Standard seats in my DCI are a bit "wallowy" when undertaking a spirited drive. A suitable upgrade?
Bit of an odd one. Both my front sidelights stopped working yesterday.
Rear lights still come on, low beams, high beams all work. Just not the front sidelights.
All worked fine for a good few months. Is there a fuse for them?
So I've had my Clio about 18 months now. Love it. Cheap to run, does mega mpg, and it's been on a couple of track days now which albeit slow, were a hoot.
I've recently contemplated tarting it up a bit, for some more track use. However, I still need it to be a sensible daily.
Ideas included...
A mate of mine down in Jo'burg has a weird problem with his Toyota Run-X (Corolla, basically).
Off-side front tyre will deflate to flat in about 2 weeks. He needed new tyres all round anyway, so got them put on and asked them to check that rim.
New valves, no dinks in the rim, new tyre seated...
So I fitted all new bulbs in my headlights at the weekend, and I'm not overly impressed with the high beam on my mk3 now.
The drivers side headlight is suffering from condensation which I'm currently trying to sort.
However, more light seems to be aiming at the ground now, rather than ahead...
Anyone had any experience with any rear seat covers in their MK3?
Getting a dog soon, and want to try and protect the rear seats if possible. I've seen a few examples about but wouldn't mind first hand opinions.
Looking for a decent 12v (ciggy) connector, tyre inflator.
Had a look at reviews and most point to the Michelin hi power or RAC ones. Anyone had experience with any tyre inflators or recommendations?
I've got a Halfords trade card which is swaying me towards their own rapid inflator.
So admittedly, if anyone has seen my car, or spoken to me about it's cleanliness, you'll know that it generally sees the Euro's down the hand car wash every so often.
It didn't have the best of starts in it's cleaning life, as when I picked it up, it already had numerous scratches around the...
My brakes are squealing like a b**ch at present, and have done since about the beginning of June.
Plenty of meat left on them. Brembo Discs up front with Feredo pads.
It's been washed several times so I doubt it's brake dust. It's also a bit sporadic in when it does it. Stops fine, no...
I have a massive favour to ask (eBay auction win permitting)!
If I win an eBay auction, I have a pair of Motorcycle forks to pick up.
Would anyone mind picking them up and bringing them to Llandow with them?
Payment for the forks would be made by Paypal already, so you wouldn't need to pay...
I spotted the other day down at the garage, that my front driver's side shock has no cup to hole the top of the spring in place.
Should this have come from the factory, as seemingly the other side did!
