ESP = extra sensory perception :P My old LCR had it, as above really it's a great tool and really helps out in emergencies, has to be switched off for real driving though (like TC and to a lesser extent ABS)

Some of you boys really are nipples lol :P Welcome to the sight bud, it's a great resource for any clio owner so hopefully you stick around

Replace those tyres with schoolchildren and this is just my commute tbh :P

This, or fibreglass Screw paying 80 quids for them

Or ye, any out of a scrapyard, got mine for 50p ;)

I'd buy a locking wheel nut remover set, get the wheel off, then either moleys on the bolts where they stick out the back (front if they are protruding) I that fails a stud extractor on a drill, or weld a nut/bolt to the remaining studs an remove that way. If they are snapped chances are they...

Lol good replys^ :) 15s fit no problem it's what I roll on. Your best to fit them all round so that the rear end doesn't become unstable, particularly when braking/swerving

I couldn't say mate, if it was the cat then I don't think so, injector quite possibly, but I'm no expert

A search will find you loads mate (Y) There's a couple of Kawasaki green alloys pictured on here somewhere, not sure how they would look with silver though probably not great, ORANGE on the other hand ....

Yep cat, or some kind of injector problem. It's unused sulfur in the fuel that causes the smell IIRC

I'm pretty sure it's not an MOT fail point either tbh, but ye either way it's a bad plan, and pikey lol

I don't think it is mate, where are you getting that from? It's a bad idea I wouldn't do so personally, so far as I'm aware though UK law doesn't differentiate between summer and winter tyres.

You don't 'need' them mate no, they just make life easier when putting the wheels on, once on though the wheel bolts hold everything in place. I would guess the dealers would have them mate but not positive on that

A light smoke can look ok I think, usually only on black though

Some cracking pics there mate :approve: Was good to meet some CS peeps too

Any car's rear end can slide, but that's more down to how you drive IMO (unless you have Ling Longs on the back lol), each to their own man I can see the logic in what you are saying, but so long as all the tyres are a decent brand and have plenty of tread I don't think theres any real...

All are winter tyres and the tyres on each axle are matching in brand and size, no problem there

Lol! Your loss on the arches :rasp: Point is mate that took me 2 minutes to find, if you search around I'm sure you'd find something suitable, ideally buy new of course, but there are good nearly new winter tyres out there for a lot less, good luck with whatever you do though :)

I wouldn't have thought so, and others of better size will pop up if you keep an eye on it. I run 195/65/15 on the rear and 205/60/15 front (had 2 blowouts mid winter last year and couldn't get matching replacements, the car was on coilovers at the time and I didn't have any issues, my arches...

Easier to remove the seat from underneath (I've tried both lol) There are 4 nuts for each of the seats, the outer ones are hidden behind rubber grommets which pull off, the inner 2 are above the exhaust heatshield (there are holes to access) All are 13mm, but you need a deep socket ;)

Re: ANOTHER Which Colour To Paint My Wheels Thread (with free lolz worthy editted pic By the time good tyres are added though, I'm defo sticking with 15s for now

Re: ANOTHER Which Colour To Paint My Wheels Thread (with free lolz worthy editted pic Hmm adding some flickage could be funky .... You might be right Daniel this thread has me thinking, if I see a set of 15s I like for say, less than a 100, I might buy them rather than piss about with these...

Re: ANOTHER Which Colour To Paint My Wheels Thread (with free lolz worthy editted pic Meh it's areet mate, I'm not a fan of the F1's, though your orange looked not TOO bad lol, might eventually get Turinis for it but not anytime soon ... LOL, ye maybe the plastidip yellow? could be turbines?

There's always plenty in gumtree :coffee:

Re: ANOTHER Which Colour To Paint My Wheels Thread (with free lolz worthy editted pic Lol na I already have winter wheels (which are even uglier) I did think about new wheels but am sticking with 15s and haven't seen any that I fancy, I got these for free and actually quite like them...

Wheel off and look? Look for anything that's been rubbing there might be marks, look under the engine too especially around the belts (shouldn't be related to turning but worth checking)

Re: ANOTHER Which Colour To Paint My Wheels Thread (with free lolz worthy editted pic Noice ;) Dark alloys are a different sort of look though and not what I fancy for mine

Re: ANOTHER Which Colour To Paint My Wheels Thread (with free lolz worthy editted pic not really feeling the green :-/

Re: ANOTHER Which Colour To Paint My Wheels Thread (with free lolz worthy editted pic They look ace, I reckon they would be nice on a silver or black car but not sure on blue ...
