@Brigsy - I used this for a looooong road trip last week. Did nearly 70mpg! (Think it was 68.8??) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-Clio-Dynamique-S-Dci-86-Long-MOT-Pan-Roof-30-Tax-60-mpg-/255286004762?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m2548.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 I think they are...

They’re in the car and they’re not broken. I have no idea why they aren’t fitted 🤷🏼‍♂️

That’s really really poor. I did my apprenticeship in a machine shop and our tolerances whilst we were using the machines for the first time were stricter than what you’ve actually paid for!

Just dropped it off to the lord and master of RenaultSport. very much looking forward to driving it back as I’ve not driven it yet. (Zero history of the belt being done! 😂)

First thing I looked for when I went to view it. 😂

The rear wings were blended when they did the sills, and that’s the bit that is blistering. Which is a shame as the blend is flawless (to 99.9% of people) and if it wasn’t for the blisters I probably wouldn’t be doing any paint at all. But they definitely need doing and the bumper has some minor...

I’ll also get a new bonnet catch… 😂 And here are the current tyres… 🤮 and here is the blistering on the wings. Can’t have that. and the reason I bought it…

Afternoon all! I thought I’d get a little project thread going as once it’s done it will probably be for sale as since buying it, I’ve had a change of heart and no longer want to hoard as many cars as I have. So here goes… 69,000 miles, completely standard, 2 pervious owned and a little bit...

Michealwood Services is grim for the other 364 days a year mate I promise you.

@Luke_Exc - see if any 24h petrol stations (or similar) have those little ratchet straps for suitcases. I have been known to use one of those on a gearbox mount before. We only moved it around the yard but if you’re gentle it may do the trick to get you home.

Many years ago, on my original Ph1, I had a crack in my mount. I thought it was normal. 😂 @Christopher duly educated me however.

Buy my X5. Makes my bloody eyes water.

If nobody wants to be a ginea pig on their race car, I’ll do it on my track car. i do 10 full days a year so it will get a good testing.

One of the most surprising podcasts I’ve listened to. Wasn’t expecting much and it was brilliant.

You’re amazing. everyone else; this is broke. I’ll buy another one. Jon; be’reet Al fix at lyke

Identical to my old one. Towed fantastically too.

What’s wobbling? The steering wheel or the whole car?

Ahhh, gutted I never came.

Lad?

About £100 for the clutch kit plus the labour which I would imagine would be £200-ish.

If Venom’s isn’t ok, have you looked at the one in the for sale section on here?

I had a Brian James Micromax (or minnow - who her it was) and that fitted in a single garage. it was an old house though, 50’s, so not sure how small a new build garage is?

You’re a meat. I mean look at the dirt, I’ve been on minging roads, behind lorries etc, and don’t understand. I said I DON’T UNDERSTAND!

Not a Gti, but I went from a mk5 gt-d to a mk6 gt-d. apart from the styling I can’t tell any difference. They drive exactly the same, even though the mk5 had 170k to the mk6 I have now that has 96k they are identical to drive. 😂

It’s really weird, the front of my car and the whole top half is still really clean. The lower half and the back of it are hanging. I don’t get why the top of it has stayed so clean in comparison.

I was booked on but never had chance to dig the car out. @Brigsy is there already. Keen as mustard that boy! 😂

With all due respect, I’ll take his word for it seeing as he rebuilds them for a living. And I’ve had 4 done this year alone. I’m sure there probably are some good ones out there. They made enough of them so you’d like to think a few are still going.

No no, I’m using my good friend who works at Milta. he said that if you buy a brand new car with a DSG gearbox and have it serviced every 2 years, it will probably last forever. But skip just one of those services and it will break. And seeing as most of the brand new cars are lease/company...

There used to be a guy that ran an MX5 race car/team. He used to sell loads (and I mean LOADS!) on eBay. If it’s the same bloke, they’re really good tyres, all worn evenly etc.
