I had wednesday off work so thought id give the clio an interior clean, wash, glaze and wax.
Ended up correcting the paint lol.
So interior was first of course. Needs a real good clean but i dont have any interior stuff, next on the list.

Did they ever do the 172 in rb ?
Tbh its one of the cheapest sports i have seen for sale in spain.
How do you not mix up what towel does what ? I use one type for polish residue and removing wax and another type for door shuts, glass etc. Does it matter or is it better to use only one towel for each thing ?
Used this yesterday on brothers car, is it normal for it to be VERY hard to remove ? The wax itself was very hard and spun around in the tin, took over an hour to remove and to top it off with it pissed it down whilst doing it.
Still some wax on car how do i remove it ?
Oh brilliant results...

Put it in this morning for cambelt,water pump, to sort the knocking noise at slow speeds/full lock, to sort out the jolty drive and a service.

my car is on 86000 kms now (53000 miles), when i bought my car the bloke told me to do cambelt on 100k (62000 miles), there is no history of cambelt change. does that sound about right and is there anything else i should change whilst getting it done... And what sort of price should i pay for...
I had to emergency stop earlier on tonight because of some tosser that didnt have a lead on his dog, basically my breaks are s**t.... The pads were replaced about 6 months ago along with a full service etc, i drove my brothers 206 last week and what a difference having 4 discs. So are the clio...
1 day my clio drives like crap and another its fine, its worse in the rain, the car is jerky and hard to get a smooth gear change anyway but sometimes its really bad. Its making me dislike the car a bit.
So is it just me ? Is it just in my head ?
Anyone know where i can get a brinkmann led torch or similar ? I can only find it on amazon but from the states. If anyone has one for sale pm me :) ? Gracias
