Derby meets 'meh' not allowed for 2 weeks until I get my dampers back :) good to see Kieron's new employees have a strict internet use policy ;)

I think Grey got his done by someone near Mackworth too for not much

Good stuff :) Didn't realise he was a cup driver ! I had 2 sessions with him and did some very good things and learnt loads.

hmm. 0w40 iirc as I read up about them being one of the cheapest 'proper' synthetic oils. I also wasnt aware you could be too thin either.

thanks for the replies ! No way I intend to do it if timing has to be done then. I use Mobil 1 which a few have said seem to 'dissapear' more than average. 1 litre may be exaggeration but not by much. I must have done ~ 300 mile in the past 36 hours having driven the car hard for most of it...

Hi. I have noticed for some time that the Trophy has been drinking oil and having recently done a reguar oil change and Oulton yesterday I appear to have consumed close to 1 litre of oil thrashing the arse off it. Dont see clouds of smoke but definitely burning it as not dropping at all and...

difference a week makes eh. Will see what actually comes out as opposed to rumour mill

its not a case of recommending them, more more cost effective. OEM come with everything needed and uprating is generally a lot more when not needed unless tinkering with brake bias. Is one of the few Renault parts which is cheaper and simpler to get from a dealer than elsewhere

As per usual I attended teh BTCC at Donington as its my local circuit. Ended up with some reasonable pics. Results here http://1023.co.uk/btccdon12 Plagued by the fences in most of them and finding the 350D troublesome in reviewing the shots I have taken these days. Thoughts and feedback...

Great as always Nick!! Every year I go to Donington and think I should catch up with you and never do !! Like the marmite one as was close to you there but getting annoyed at the railings !!! Managed to find a spot with a break in for the tractor so got a few good shots. :)

just got back from travelling link to my pics http://1023.co.uk/don_mar_12/ msg me if you want any hi res images :)

OOh you did well finding my trophy as was only there an hour or so ;) Took some decent photos which I wont be able to upload till friday as away with work

Standard alarms (I think cobra) have led by the gearstick with microwave transmitters and receivers on the a pillars near the sunvisors. Imports dont have this standard so may have none / different.

Imports were sat for some time in Ireland iirc and sold to car supermarkets like Motorpoint. Because of this they were never fitted with certain items that RUK did at the import centre. These were Alarm Fitted Locking wheelnuts Etched glass with numberplate. I think other than that the spec was...

Hmm could make this actually. Would be from 3pm though. Castle is good but gets silly busy is weather is good ! Play cricket there too

I am having some gremlins with the trophy and have had engine management and limp on and off for a while. Shows code 0120 and 0130 as throttle and o2 issues - lamda has been replaces. Now looking at thrttle issue (seems vague lots of posts saying body / pedal) I was checking with electrics on...

lmao ! Fred showed the world a 15p washer with the correct size (search) and some spanners and an hour to kill can sort them

Awesome pics again nick :) Never tire of looking at your work

How do you mean framing ? As much as I love the 350d, 1) the screen on it is too small so its very difficult to actually see what you just took 2) 3 FPS means i miss quite a lot compared to newer bodies. The Audi was a nemesis lol. As I was just before the old hairpin, the cars were slowing...

Great pics as usual Nick :) I liked the infield viewing area by the new chicanes, although looking at the size of the kerbs I can see why most kept away from them !

Proper album added now which isnt FB one ! http://1023.co.uk/btccdon11/

Got some half decent pics from Sunday. Tried to follow DunganNicks advice, get focus point, set shutter spped and adjust iso mode so that aperute is ~5.6 but couldnt get the balance right, some pics are ok some not so. http://www.facebook.com/#!/media/set/fbx/?set=a.2041973488252.2122989.1211779600

just surprised myself with this belter yesterday at Donington :)

lol depends how fast you were going ! Kieron - courtesy car.... explain ?

Ahh so your Fred's engineer he was on about with the trophy then :) Nice motor Interested in unpinning the dampers though, not heard of that before and also due at Donington on track next month, could be worth playing with settings.

have spent most of the day trying to lock down internet access in vain. have an sh script which currently works but allows all outwards. I want to lock down port 80 via squid, and only allow a few ports / ips. When i comment out the allow all line the individual rules dont work ! any advice...

Wife saw you near Greenhills Road, Riddings this evening....unfortunately wife was in scabby wanky tank Skoda Fabia hire car....my Trophy is nestled snug in its bed!

can you jump start it ? if so does it run properly when its going ? You either have a flat battery or a knackered alternator. If you get the car running measure the battery voltage, when running should be 14+ volts. if its not then the alternator is dead on on its way, if it is you will soon...

M16x110 for lonng bolt with look fo it.
