Spotted twice today. Once at B&Q, and then shortly after at the top of Hulbert Road

I've claimed from them - all good :) it was almost a pleasurable experience writing a car off

RNIB? Scary stuff.

Did they balance them? Check your wheel nuts too - just for sanity's sake

Now broken down (and for sale) Your mate just dragged you past in his XR2

I just moved into my new house over the weekend & just spotted a nice looking rorty Clio go past my house & stop further up Anyone on here?

of shitness?

Gotcha. Kinda hoped that wouldn't be the case, and they'd have cartridge bearings! I'd get the OE ones then, saves pressing in bearings, or beating them in with a socket & hammer! :)

Are the ones listed on GSF for about £22.50 not suitable? I'd be interested in this - mine are over corroded for my liking.

You were just coming in as I was leaving in the sensible car. 52 plate, with a female passenger IIRC 16.45ish

potential physical differences aside, didn't the new clio eat a few pies? like 300kg of them? So if it did fit, it'd be too soft

Yeah, but your trade can't be "Student"

Mine doesn't get in the way of anything & mounts on existing fixtures. I've even put my rear seat 'back' in the car to have a boot still. Just can't quite get the base in. I wouldn't want to mount a harness on it - the bar is a little too low for that IMO. It doesn't interfere with MOT, or any...

The camber will likely have changed when the spring was swapped, so the alignment will need to be done again Pretty bad form to change just one spring though... might be worth doing the other side I have a set of cup springs doing nothing from when I bought my car - I can check them for...

My renewal just came through Direct Line 30, 10yrs NCB, 1 total loss last year £298 :)

Check that the gauge is showing properly... I tapped in a 2nd to see if the one on the dash was right. I think that when they replaced the clocks for mph ones they didn't put the temp needle (or fuel needle) back on correctly

Looks nice - I have one as my weekend car I removed the AC rad, which helped keep the temperatures lower It's worth checking that you have the undertray still there, as that does make a difference to guiding the air to the rad Also, and I'm sure you've looked - replace the thermostat, when I...

Technically the seatbelt should be E approved as well, which I think means a 'clip' rather than a buckle (to fasten) But I've yet to have a tester look at the labels.

Joined at Banbury & went north... a lot faster than my passat could pedal

Had a private plate I think, and was driving very economically. I was in a company passat :( Couldn't see properly, but I think it was a lass. Near Didcott I think... it's been a long day

They are that bad.... last time I was there they took punters cars out to go WOT past the noise sensors

Lambda is controlled pre cat though...

Your Lambda probe can't be working.... way way too rich for that. If it's been running badly rich for long enough your cat might be next to useless as well. Check for wiring breaks etc Not sure on what diagnostics capability these Renault's have - but most cars should tell you something...

You could do that... but if the towing mechanism is higher than the point you're securing it on you will have too acute an angle & the tow rope will pull on the bottom of your bumper - most likely ripping it off.

You don't need one for MOT. Therefore it's not a legal requirement But when you break down - do you really want to be taking your bumper off to get recovered? PITA if you ask me

I was visiting the Govan 'site' today - spotted a nice looking Clio on a W plate (PhII) on the way in - really stood out amongst some very bland automotive wallpaper. I was half asleep when I left at lunchtime though, so didn't see if it was still there :)

I've seen it a couple of times (and I think I saw you on the A272 yesterday lunchtime) But today you're parked up on your driveway with a KTR sticker over a slightly reformed bonnet Hope the damage is limited...

Do you know who ran it in 2003/4?

I defected :) But the Clio build looks really interesting - how long will the car be in Daventry for the cage? at least they should be quieter mid season rather than the pre season rush
