Took my cup for its MOT on Sat, and it failed on the rear braking. 0 one side, 10kg of braking force on the other. I went home and read up on the VOSA newsletter thing to see whether that was to be expected and had a mate take a look at it as he is also an MOT tester. He took the brakes apart...

I have 4 years NCB on the clio with one company, Insured the BMW with Admiral but mentioned I have NCB used on another car with another company and that I would be having 0 years NCB on this BMW policy. The lad on the phone confirmed that was the case. Got a phone call from them today...

Went on MSN the other day, and saw the list of contacts online and offline. Before my eyes the list scrolled up and left me with nothing. It left just a button for adding contacts saying 'your contact list is empty'. I didnt click on anything by mistake, I presume its a virus or somthing. I...

In all my years of having various mobiles, I have never used T mobile. Anything in particular I should know about them? I have been with orange the last 5+ years, so can't imagine they are much worse. They offer a larger internet usage than other companies I am looking at, just unsure if...

I fancy an Iphone, but dont want to pay silly money a month just to get the phone free. Ideally I want unlimited texts and internet on it, and any more than 200 minutes a month will do. I spend 35 a month at the mo with orange so would happily spend that with o2, but dont want to pay 187 quid...

At about 2pm near Priorswood in Taunton. I was attempting to get a broken down volvo drifter running in the layby. Don't know if your on here? The car sounds nice.

A while back, my NFS underground save file became corrupt, and then a few weeks after the DVD drive failed. I treated this as a coincidence and never bothered to get it fixed. Now I have bought another elite as it worked out near enough the same price as getting my old one repaired. So I have...

My 360 elite has had a faulty dvd drive for a while now, and I have been too lazy to do anything about it. Now Forza 3 is out, I neeed to get gaming again!! I was wondering how much my elite would be worth to someone who wants to repair it. I can't get on ebay in work, and have no net at home...

I have had some Ktec coilovers now since Day 1 and havn't got round to getting them fitted as I have been looking into taking it somewhere to get it done and all set up. Enough is enough and rather than pay extra for fitting, which I could do myself, I have decided I may aswell fit them and...

I am after broadband so need a phone line rental. Anyone know of any deals that offer free/cheap phone line connection? The house I am in had an active BT line, but since I moved in a few weeks ago I havent joined BT or anyone, and the Post Office want £107 to sort the line out. The guy on...

Been hearing about this a lot lately. Is it recommended? Is it likely to mess anything up? I am no longer connected to the internet so don't want to do it if it is going to cause more problems. Only reason I ask is that my 360 sometimes freezes so thought it may be worth a go if its rish...

My 360 elite had the 3 rings fault 14 mnoths after I bought it. I was out of the 12 months warranty, but as the 3 rings are covered for 3 years, I got it repaired for free. Great I thought. The Motherboard was replaced, along with the DVD drive - which wasnt faulty IMO, but meh. All free! A...

Moving into a private rental house in a couple of weeks, and the landlord is informing the utility companies of our details and payment details etc. Going around there tonight so was going to mention about the phone line, I am not sure if I want to have line rental to start with or not. I may...

Spotted a couple there yesterday. A flamer with a clio sport sticker

Do I need to use spring compressors when converting to coilovers? I wasnt sure if when I took the shock out, if the springs would need to come off when removing the top mount. Have had a search to no avail :star:

I have bought some of the K tec coilovers with built in camber adjustment. Can I adjust the camber with standard top mounts?

Can someone post a pic of a cup boot withthe cans of tyre foam in please? I have bought a tin of it and wonder where it is fixed too as standard. Ta

I want to pop some stickers on my cup for a show I am going to next month. I agree its not to everyones taste, but fancy popping some on the old girl. Does anyone know of any free/cheap stickers from companies that I could use? I did send off for some from race cars direct, but they never...

Got white wheels on the cup, and fancy yellow calipers to go with the mondial blue as I think its a good combo, but wondered if they would look a bit weird behind white wheels?

Has anyone had to treansport a large fish tank in a clio? I need to get something like this : In the back :lolup: Problem is, the one im getting is identical, bar the fact the lid is attatched via the sides! Tank its self measures 3 foot long, and its about 4 foor tall so I think I have no...

Got some 182 clear repeaters from Renault, and today when I went to fit them I realised that my cup just has clear bulbs in the amber lenses! So obviously that would be illegal so I have had to abandon that little job until I can get some orange 501 5w bulbs. So the 182 must come with orange...

Bought some aero blades at the weekend as I needed new blades and like the look of them. I flicked throught a book that stated the clio used 1 18" and 1 21" blade. Trusted what it said and went along with it but now im wondering if I should have gone and just bought a pair of 21s! Going to...

Got some wheels last week, bought some spigots so they would fit and gave them a clean and then popped them on yesterday. Car feels nicer now as I had 2 different tyres on the back and it made it a bit scatty before. Ive noticed that the bugger torque steers now more than before than the 16s...

Does anyone know the part number of the clear side repeaters on a clio 182? I want to freshen up my 172 cup with some clear side repeaters but dont want the perfectly clear aftermarket affairs. A rough price also would be handy. I have searched.. :cool:

Passed you lastnight near bawdrip at around 8.30pm Seen your clio around alot but didnt know you were a member on here until recently :cool:

My 172 Cup's side strips look really dull. so much so, that im afraid to try some polish on them incase it leaves them looking patchy and crap where its not a smooth surface. Common problem? Dont really want to fork out to get them sprayed up if theres an easy solution :clown:

Just bought a set of wheels for the clio second hand but in a 40 offset. Will I need spacers? I forget if the higher the number sticks out or sticks in more. Should have checked before I bought them really. Can wait until the weekend to see if they fit, but if anyone has been in the same...

Are there any plans for another Vmaxx group buy? :cool:

Had my brake discs and pads changed recently and have noticed that the outer half of the disk is clean, and the inner inch or so is rusty where the pads havent made contact. Are the pads slightly raised when new on the outer edge to cause this? Or are my calipers foofed. Same on both sides on...
