Due to buying the cleanest car I’ve ever laid eyes on, I need time knowledge laying on me!
I want to keep on top of keeping the car spotless, but it is a daily driver. So obviously I will be getting the car dirty, especially this time of year.
Basically, I’d like to know what sort of products...
So I’ve got an alpine HU installed at the minute, it does everything I need it to,but it’s ugly as sin! It sticks out too far from the dash, if I was to push it in any further, the fascia surround would pop off. It also has a massive volume knob sticking out the front of it.
Has anyone got a HU...
Is it just me, or am I missing something with these tyres?
Everyone raves about them, but I’m finding it really difficult to get the power down. At first I thought it was the road surface, but I find them skitting across the road even in straight lines!
May need to try something else.

I only have the left number showing on the climate control panel, the right number doesn’t show at all.
Just a bulb that needs replacing? Or something else??

Thinking about keeping the Turinis for summer wheels and sticking some Turbines off of a Ph1 Valver on as winter wheels.
Anyone got any photos of an RB182 with them on?
I reckon they would look pretty awesome.

My Meguiars Water Magnet drying towel is a bucket of arse. I seem to have lost my dodo juice one. Anyone got any recommendations?
Been looking at the dodo juice soft touch towel, but open to other recommendations.
Also looking for recommendations for other detailing products like car shampoo...
Massive thanks to @Degsy1967 for being an honest and upfront bloke.
Just got home from a 7hour round trip after purchasing and picking up D11CUP. What an absolute cracker of a car. Never seen a used car look so clean and well looked after. The car is a credit to all of it's previous owners...
Bit bored after work, so cracked a beer and was looking through some old pics, so thought I'd start a car history thread...
No photos of my first car, a 1987 Mk4 Escort 1.4l. Woeful car, 5 doors and slow as s**t! Wrote it off after crashing into my neighbour's van :grin:
Second car was a 1985...
looking at selling the GTi on and replacing with a 182. Had a few Valvers in the past, so know I liove Clios.
Anyone gone from the GTi to a 182? Any advice?
So, I've just been to see an Inferno 182 with both cup packs at a garage in Halifax, its got 106k on it, looks tidy in the photos, but its at £2,695, so for that price i'm expecting it to be really tidy with a massive wedge of history!
I gets there (only local, hence me looking before i've sold...
Hi guys, haven’t posted on here for around 12 years. Sold my last Valver around that time and have missed it every day since!
Needed to free up some cash and decided to be car-less for a little while, it lasted 7 years! I then decided to go to two wheels and have had bikes for a few years, got...

What are the top 3 things that you love about your clio???
my 96 Valver:
1. The induction noise - lovely burble as it pulls through the revs
2. The Bonnet - one of the nicest vented bonnets ive ever seen
3. The performance - never fails to impress me.
What are yours???

Are there any headunits that have a USB slot on them, this would be a really useful slot as i could plucg my iPod shuffle into it and not have to worry about leavin my cds in the car anymore!!!

Ive done a search and came up dry...
apparently, renault keys only have 999 clicks of the button before they need reprogramming.
My valver had to be towed to my local renault garage and they are gonna reprogram them at a cost of £30, if that doesnt work, im gonna need 2 new keys at the cost of £80 each, then those both need...
The standard alarm system has 2 key switches, one under the bonnet, and one under/in the dash (passenger side).
I need to know which is which, i know one does the immobiliser and one does the alarm siren, i need to know which one is which urgently.
Thanks in advance.
