    Car covers

    Anyone got any recommended makes?? I've had a couple from Halfords which were breathable ones and seemed pretty good except they're have a tendency not to fit over the car that well and aren't that tough. Any suggestions? :D:D

    Back in black........

    Well, picked up my 225 which was away having the wheels refurbished in black. And I have to say WOW! :D It looks even better than I'd hoped. Exactly the look I wanted, the wheels are spotless and really glossy as well. Let me know what you think - These were the scuffed ones -...

    Brakes failing and other recalls

    Me and a couple of the guys in work have been checking out this site - http://www.vosa.gov.uk/vosa/apps/recalls/default.asp Gives you all the info on car recalls from 1992 onwards. Surprisingly there are a lot of recalls from Renault, some of which are for 'failing brakes'. Chap I...

    ...my missus wants to replace the standard gear knob on her 182 Cup (05 reg). How do you get the damn things off?? Are they glued on? Do they just need some serious twisting?

    Oil.......

    I know its about a Megane but I just wanted to know. I've had my Megane 225 since January but its only done about 2250 miles. The message 'Change Oil Soon' has flashed up which is on a timer not set according to mileage. Question is, does the oil really need changing??? The time was...

    Torsion bars........

    can someone, in very simple terms explain to me what one of these is??? I know my old Clio 1.2 used to have one and I'm sure my Renault 5 has one. If you want to lower a car with a torsion bar, you replace the front springs and adjust he rear torsion bar accordingly???? Any advice...

    De-badged the 5 but need some advice....

    Right, I took the gay 'Prima' stickers off the side of the five but as you can imagine, having been on the car for 11 years the paint undernearth is a bit darker than the rest. Its not very noticable and probably me being a bit sad but anyone know how I can get the paint round where the...

    Its old skool and French...........

    I've been looking for a cheap second car, something that I can park anywhere and not have to worry about unlike leaving the Megane or the missus 182 any old place. Well I fancied something with a bit more character than an a Mk3 Fiesta or Corsa and always had an R5 or Mini in mind. I found...

    Looking to buy a Mk1, any tips??

    I'm looking at a 1.4 L reg Clio as a possible second car, this one has 47k on the clock, is maroon/red and looks pretty neat. Its only £495 but may be able to offer a lower price. Don't intend on doing much with it but does anyone have any buying advice on this? Thanks

    Power Cable

    Having owned 3 Clios before I should know this but being a lazy sh!te, I've always let someone else install my ICE. All I wanted to know is where the easiest place to run a power cable through the car is??? Well actually just how to get it through the bulkhead? The missus has asked me to...

    Past and Present........

    Tiny bit of colour coding -

    My missus Clio Cup went in to have the bumper repaired where some tw*t had hit it in her work car park and came out with the little black blanking plates on the bumper colour coded. Asked the guy how much he'd charge to colour em and he said he'd do it for free as he'll have the paint and...

    Clios - ASDA (Burgh Heath, near Epsom)

    Spotted 3 very nice looking Clios, 2 Mk1's (one was a naples red, modded valver) and a Mk2 Phase 2, non RS but modded in metallic blue. I pulled up in my gf's racing blue 182!! :D :D Also spotted S20 CUP on a Clio 172 Cup in the same car park about 10 minutes later!!!

    Foxley Lane - PURLEY (Surrey)

    Got a friendly flash from a Clio 172 owner, driving a dark blue (can't recall the exact colour) with silver tail lights! :D I was driving my gf's racing blue/gordini striped 182 at the time. Would have responded but went passed before I managed to!! lol

    My smooth a*se

    Just thought I'd put a couple of pics up of the MEGANE badge removed from the back of the car. Took a bit of *****ing about, bearing in mind the M snapped in half!! lol But got em off in the end. Used a top tip from a mate at work and pulled dental floss under em, then just rubbed the...

    Racing Stripes....YES or NO??

    Right here's the question. My gf has the 182 Cup (pic below) and is in two minds about the racing stripes. She's worried that they draw a bit too much attention to the car and is kinda worried about someone damaging it, so wondered whether she should take the stripes off. My argument is...

    182 - 2 weeks old and already damaged!!

    I put a post on here a while back about my gf getting a totally mint 05 reg 182 Cup with gordini stripes. She seems to be really enjoying the car getting into owning a performance motor. (old car was a 106 Quicksilver) And guess what..........some useless pr!ck scraped it in her work...
