If you wanted a car for an investment, you're time was 3 years ago when a TVR T350C was £15/16,000 Now look at them.

Ship it to Poland and they'll be carting round a herd of cattle and a family of 18 in it, for the next 10 years

Love that exhaust noise. Also, proper cars rock side to side when revved.

Welcome, where abouts in Derby are you from?

I was about to recommend using the chassis rails either side of the exhaust, but it seems I've already beaten myself to it.

New front calliper is going on, fuel leak from the filter, torn CV boot, headlight level sensor and a service. Yay!

Yes.

It can be badly smashed but relatively cheap to fix, or like mine, very little panel damage, but suspension and running gear fucked.

I miss your boyish charm and dashingly good looks.

Nearly right ;) Cat C is just a more costly state of repair than Cat D. Cat D would be something like, paint stripper poured over the car, or flood damage. My Clio is Cat C and didn't have any chassis damage

Repairing that would involve chopping the A pillar out and welding a new section in from a donor car. Massive costs.

Yes... She said its illegal?

Fair enough! Seems I just got told...

7.0 would refer to the width of the wheel in inches. Sometimes expressed as 7J. i'd go with an 8 inch wide wheel on the mk2 Clios. Too thin. 45 is the lowest profile you need to go to.

Hydraulics or airbags? Two very different things ;) Also.... VAG FTW.

3 options. 1.Drain the oil out and top up with 5 litres of new oil. 2.Spend £60 on a pump to pump the excess oil out of the sump. 3. Take it to a garage. I'd recommend option 3

With anything oil related, you always check the dipstick for the level. Never ever ever trust the electronics. You'll be very lucky if you've not done anything serious.

You'll have massively overfilled it now. My guess is the oil pressure sensor at fault.

That is complete bullshit and I strongly urge you to remove it. im not about to go fighting battles for people, but you're out of line slating something that has implications on some ones livelyhood.

Having been for a tour of spax's factory I was impressed with the manufacturing process. There's been a lot of engineering put into manufacturing their coilovers for the Clio, and to see them passed off as mediocre because of the name on them is a little disheartening. The valves they use to...

It would defeat the point wouldn't it? If you can invent a set of spacers that moves the rear wheels backwards, you're onto a winner.

I'm so glad you saw what I did there ;) They do have a longer wheel base, but still use the same chassis. Completely different running gear however.

It's actually the exact same chassis as a 1.2, just with all the rear quarter panels hacked off. You can even see where they cut away the body panels if you look under the V6 body kit. In regards to turning a 182 into a V6, completely possible if you have all the V6 running gear, engine...

Oh Gally... what have you done? Please tell me you kept the TT too?

Small children start crying when they see me. It doesn't come as a surprise.

Re: how much have u sunk into ure clio At least 10 grand.

I actually think that akrapovic system sounds really dull. 4 pots in general sound pretty dull without any rasp to them.

Was there an out break of plague at meadowhall today? Never seen it that quiet.

I see the old mans still got it when it comes to a dab of oppo?

I've just checked for you, google is still working
