Is the cure to remove the offending bolts and re-seal them? If so, does anyone have a guide of any sort and which type of sealant (i.e brand, type) should be used?

Reg number CN53 VYF, heading down the A3 in the outside lane (where else?) towards Guildford at about 5.10pm tonight. Looked a bit gorgeous.:approve:

Tonight on the hack home at about 5.15pm, spotted a Trophy and shortly after a RB 182 with stripes, both heading from Jacobs Well towards the A3 slip at Burpham.

The rear seats have been taken out the cup along with the isofix bar and the seat belt buckles. Had a quick look at taking the belt reels out but they appear to be plugged in to something. Surely these aren't pretensioned as well? If not, what is the cable for and if its all disconnected will...

First, a 172 Cup in Chertsey, D8 VYJ at about 6.30pm and then a RB 182 going towards Heathrow on the M25 around about the M3 junction at about 8.15pm.

Was parked in the car park just along from Sailors...spotted it on our walk back from Fistral on Sunday.

My clutch has been creaking for about a year now and its now gettin noticeably worse again now the weather has warmed up. I've searched on here for a definate cure but no one seems to have one. Some suggest replacing the cable, others then say its not the cable.:S Does anyone have a definate...

A dirty looking Trophy heading in to Guildford today along the Woodbridge Road at about 12.25, and then a RB 197 heading out of Guildford along the same road at about 12.30! Also spotted a 172 Cup parked up outside the church in Ripley at about 5.10.

This is a new one to appear recently on my Cup....oh the joy. Its a squeeking noise that only happens on start up from cold and it increases with revs but it disappears when the clutch is depressed. Am i right in thinking its the release bearing? If so....how much is a new clutch?

Evening people. Im doing a late (prob gonna be very late) at work. In the middle of changing my nearside lower arm (think it needs a new balljoint). Undone the inboard bolts, the ARB bracket bolt and the balljoint pinch bolt but i can't get the balljoint to drop out of the hub! And...

Going to do this myself. I suspect a lower balljoint having gone so im gonna change it. Can anyone provide me with a walkthru guide or is it a fairly straightforwad job? Also is it common sense to do the front pair instead of just one side?

Have had this noise for ages but today it really was obvious. Was doing a "test" type cone slalom at a big Mini meet at Dunsfold Aerodrome, lots of sharp, tight cornering with lots of lock on and the knocking is basically coming from the unloaded front wheel whether turning right or left, but...

Does anyone know what Renault deem as the minimum operating thickness for OE 1*2 front discs and what thickness they are new?

To any of the well trained experts on here! I've got to fit the Magnex cat back system that we bought second hand for the missus' 182 and i was just wondering if there is a straightforward procedure. Im guessing maybe rear bumper off, drop the rear beam and then slide it back and out or is it...

...and this evening! Good morning and Good evening Dave! :D

Was there anyone from on here at the Ring when Clarkson was hacking around in that diesel S-Type Jag trying to crack 10 mins? Was watching one of the many repeats on Dave and apart from the Cup that passes him on the track, there is also a blue sport, possibly a Cup, with a huge Cliosport...

Well it was inevitable....44k in and the rear box has decided it wants to make a run for it. Started it up this evening to move it across the yard to wash it and...bbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbbbbbbb...etc etc. Have had to bodge seal it with exhaust heat paste....how long it lasts (if at all) we will...

We took in this as part exchange for a two car package of a 2-Eleven and Scooby Legacy (towing car) this weekend. Its a 2003 Ferrari 575M. Done approx 6k, has never been run in the wet and is absolutely spotless.....well it is after today. I spent 5 hours detailing the thing! Has had a recent...

Mr Ben P has recommended 12.9 grade 50mm M8 Cap bolts to bolt my soon to be delivered Cobra subframes into the car. Been looking on Fleabay and there are lots of M8 Cap bolts but no real sign of 12.9 grade...what i am finding is A2 - Grade 304. Is this anywhere near to the same grade? Any...

I pulled out in front of a 172 Cup coming along Ripley high street heading towards the A3 London bound at about 4.15 ish today. Was in a burgundy Exige:cool:

Just had the briefest of brief exchanges with a chappy in a Trophy at the traffic lights at the Dennis Roundabout by the A3 flyover. Consisted of you saying " I used to have one of those!" and me saying " i wouldn't mind one of those!"...before the lights changed and we both burnt away...

A friend of mine who works for Renault, mainly specialising in selling the RenaultSport range (who roams these pages from time to time so he'll prob have a go at me for posting this:quiet: ) has told me that RenaultSport plan to have a 500 model Special Edition Megane 230 (like they did with the...

Caught a fleeting glimpse of a Flame Red 172 just coming off the roundabout at Bramber, heading back in the direction of the A24, tonight at about 9pm.

Our demo car will be arriving in an hour or two for me to PDI and road test.....looks like i'll be working late tonight....the one time i don't mind! Its gonna be in white as well....:cool: I'll get some pics up later.

With Cup packs i think. Had a guy and girl getting in and out of it, possibly putting up advertsing boards of some sort. Was in a black Exige at the time.

Can they be used with Cobra Daytonas or Misanos...i.e recliners?

Came off the northbound Guildford A3 slip road alongside me this evening at about 6.30. Very very dirty.

Ok im in the market for some Cobra seats for the Cup but need some opinions/advice as to which ones to get. Thought Monaco's or Imola's but then heard they are uncomfotable over long distances so need some that are comfortable but that hold you in well so thinking either Daytona's or Suzuka's...

I know it prob won't appeal to alot of you but if you like old school sports cars, and Loti especially check out this months Octane Magazine. I don't usually buy it but i kinda have had alot to do with both the cover cars recently. The yellow (or Orange as its known) Series 1 Esprit (James...

A guy i work with had to abandon his 406 Diesel in a layby on the A3 yesterday morning citing a major oil and coolant leak. We retrieved the car with a trailer and went about putting it on a ramp to inspect the underneath. It turns out one of the conrods had decided to leave the engine at about...
