I need better tyres on the Audi. The Clio on paradas is better than the S4 on pirellis, albeit bald pirellis.

Got in the van to go to work this morning. Didn't clear the snow off the roof. Not getting the ladder out tbh.

Hold the button on the end of the stalk when turning the ignition on. You'll do 0-160mph in 8 seconds.

Cheap beer? You've not been doing Harveys right. Kryptos all the way.

Who'd have thought a Fiat would look better than I do after 24 years.

But there was nothing wrong with the fuel either, so it must have been the car?

I run the Audi on whatever comes out of the pumps. If your car is developing flat spots and kangarooing on normal petrol, you've got issues. The car probably has issues as well.

You're thinking of freeze thaw erosion that occurs in rocks. Last I checked my cars are made of metal and plastic.

Assuming it's a ph2

I'd be having words with him about that. Some one on here messaged me years ago about a lad on his Facebook. Apparently he'd got hold of a picture of my clio and was bragging about "his" new car. The guy wouldnt tell me the lads name so I couldnt dish out any abuse. Gutted.

Beaten to it FFS.

My guess is the exhaust mounts are knackered and the exhaust is knocking on the rear beam.

Its also got to be at least 2 years old

Clio in the snow you say?

I have no idea what anyone has said in here. Its snowing outside.

Having looked over the pictures again, perfect example of why you don't attach harnesses to a shitty strut brace. Having them bolted to the rear seatbelt points was a better move, but you might not have a broken collar bone if they were mounted horizontally.

Drifting much this weekend? You and Jon had some balls going out in the ice and snow the other night ;)

Turn the ignition on and off twice, then lock it with the fob. Thank me later.

Jesus! So lucky to walk away from that with just a broken collar bone. cage done well.

Yeah, a couple were made, pretty much custom everything. Body had to be chopped, new panels, new doors, custom mounts for the suspension etc... Massively complicated job, but they look pretty funky.

The clio would have been £700 this year, which isn't too bad at 24. The Audi is £800 for the year. But more than makes up for the £100 increase, being able to shift peasants out the way on motorways.

Not had that long have you!

Definite miracle. I could do a 30 mile round trip before it needed charging again. this is with lights but no heater or radio, and the dash lights dimmed right down. Every journey was interesting. It also shows how electric cars are a bad idea.

No danger as such, you'll get about an hour of driving before every dash light comes on, and the car cuts out. I got it down to a tee while waiting for Renault to get an alternator in for me.

Head needs to come off to see whether pistons and valves have collided. My guess is they have, so you can either replace the valves and whatever else has been mangled, or source a new engine. Either way it's a big bill, unless you're doing it yourself.

It's got a mk1 engine, I can't tell from looking whether its the valver 1.8 or the Williams 2.0 It's still wildly optimistic, but not as bad as a 200bhp 1.2

More? It took a new car to get rid of the last lot of issues! ...also, I love it when you call me David :o

I am not chipping in a pound for a car that needs a subframe and has suspension damage.... again. No one in their right mind would pay money for this.

Nay bad. Car's alright too.

Wouldn't have thought you could give that away with it being Cat D and in need of repair as well!
