Maybe the next step is heat them in an oven at 60oc through to 80oc and see what the effect is?

I think your on to something there!

Looks brilliant from the front and side. I never like the big red rear clusters especially on a silver model though, to me it never seems to match the rest of the car.

Nice photoshop work... but I don't like the look.

Interesting project to view and thanks for the pics Following with interest I am in the club of people who think all this is a bit mad though... :)

I decided to view this car for a laugh anyway; me and the girlfriend combined a trip to Lakeside for a meal and a bit of shopping and stopped in on the way back. It was indeed a bit rough. It had a big crack on the rear bumper, some badly repaired stonechips, a missing aerial, worn seats...

Really glad I asked! :eek: Thank you all. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3044137.htm I'm not after a Cup :approve: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2847390.htm It's been visibly modified :approve: http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/2859828.htm I don't like red :approve: Has to be black...

Hi guys. I should be going to look at my first Clio 172 later today, once I ring him to make sure it's still available. Here's a link ...

Fair enough Jon. :)

You're not wrong! :) Dear oh dear... oh dear... oh dear oh dear... :) The car looks nice though, apart from that!

The moderator or admin would look over the tool before sending it out and look over it again upon its return (before refunding the money). The tool will eventually wear out but it should be good for hundreds of uses before that happens, and there's £10 profit per rental (or more if the fee was...

A similar scheme (but much less secure - it works on trust) works well on vegetableoildiesel forums (link), for the Bosche fuel injection pump tools. It proves this kind of thing can work! I personally wouldn't have a problem shelling out the full cost of the tools to a trusted moderator or...

I'm soon to be a 172 owner, and I've learnt how expensive it is to have the cambelt changed properly. I've done a couple of cambelts before on other cars and intend to have a go myself when the time comes. I know from a search that there's loads of people in the same boat who have had to buy or...

Going back to the Clio in the original post, that "damage" looks like just a reflection to me, the vehicle is wet. Photo's don't lie but they can be misleading! Worth emailing the seller to ask?

Thanks muld! Hastings offered me £894, the cheapest so far by a long way! The others were around the £1000 mark, but still better than the £1200 I'd found via confused.com. I'm feeling a lot happier now, even though it's still expensive. :) Edit: I forgot to mention, there is £40 cashback to be...

I'm 25 and always take my dad with me too... even though he knows naff all about cars! Why?! He's a damn good haggler :) I feel sorry for you OP but think your stuck with the bill for this. MoT testers do fear Vosa... Vosa can be strict... but the garage getting points or a suspension from...

Downloading now. Thanks.

I'd invest in a really good camera system which covers the front, back, and sides, and can be left recording even when the car is stationary. If you are really proud of your car then this can help catch those who damage it (car park scrapes, door dingers) and protects your NCB in accidents where...

We are lucky in the UK for used car prices, you just cannot get the deals we can in a lot of countries. £4000 for a 10-year-old 1.2 Corsa in Portugal and so on... could not believe it as I walked around the forecourts... Congratulations on your buy

It could be bulbs, but not likely, as Dunn said, he'd have fixed it himself. It could be a relay. It could be a faulty switch. Or it could need a whole new wiring loom... you just don't know. I'm no expert but my instinct is to steer clear of that car. You have £1300 to spend? That's quite a lot...

Really nice! £2200 is the same as I hope to spend and I hope I can find one as good looking as yours with the belt already done! How much is your insurance? I'm 25 and so far can't get insurance cheaper than £1200 (I have 6 years NCB, no accidents, but 3 points for mobile phone use (shame on...

Me too! I know there's a good one out there, because I've seen many threads where everyone's said "good manual!", but the link to it no longer works.

Very nice. Black is the best colour! How much did you pay for her if you don't mind me asking?
