    Cleaning wheels - pressure washers

    How good are those electric pressure washers for cleaning wheels? Do they do the full job, or would I still need to use a brush to get the brake dust off?

    Clio 172 - 290mph - GPS verified

    Driving past a local school last night - the Origin B2 was going crazy (its a DS2 site). Wondered why as I always go slowly along there - looked down at the B2 unit - 280mph! Accelerated a bit, went up to 290mph! Cleared once Id passed the camera site - went back to 29mph. :confused:

    V6 - width at front

    Could some kind soul tell me the width of a V6 Mk2 between the front arches please? I need to work out whether itll fit in the space that the 172s nose currently occupies. The rest of the car wont be a problem.

    V6 - everyday practical car

    Is the V6 a practical proposition when it comes to weekends away, shopping etc? How much luggage / shopping can you really squeeze in, assuming you also have a passenger?

    What’s behind the arch-liner (172)

    My arch liners need some additional fixings to keep them in place. I was thinking of popping a couple of self-tapping screws through them to hold them to the bodywork. Whats behind the liners? Is it steel or plastic?

    swapping front tyres for back - why not

    Bought some nice Yokohama A048R tyres for my last trackday, at great expense to the management I might add. Fronts were totally knackered after half a day, but rears are as new. Ive been told that swapping them round is a bad idea. But why?

    Renault Accident Management Scheme

    Had a letter from my dealer about this - free service where they sort you out if you have a shunt. I guess its a way of getting more business for their Renault approved bodyshops. Has anyone used it?
