    Steering wheel melt - I know why.

    Yes, gives speed in mph/kph, g-force readings (potholess) impact and ties into google maps. All date/time stamped. I got one for insurance purposes and paid £189 for it from a caravan equipment supplier.

    Steering wheel melt - I know why.

    Wonderful, Renault customer service have been in touch and are arranging a replacement steering wheel at no charge. A great chap named Dimos Samsatli has been on my case and as well as advising me about the replacement, he says I should go to town on the dealership (Franchise) and demand a...

    I e.mailed 5th Gear about this and their reply was to ensure me the results were a true representation. Suppose they would say that though!

    Steering wheel melt - I know why.

    I find it hard to believe that the mechs at Renault Birmingham have not heard/seen this problem before. I don't even wear a ring.

    Steering wheel melt - I know why.

    Same here, nice toolchests/workshop but time on the car equates to around 20 minutes.

    Steering wheel melt - I know why.

    Took the 197 in for a 24K service today and not too happy. I asked them to look at the melting steering wheel (still in warranty). They said it was fair wear and tear. However, I have a roadhawk car surveillance device in the car so I had a good look through it since I got back. Not sure why my...

    Snow foam lance

    No, what you have is a detergent tank. For lots of foam (not necessarily cleaning) you need the lance.

    mileage or condition, which is more important to you?

    Mileage, I can do something to effect the condition, mileage I can't.

    worth it?

    All the wiring for tweets and mids is contained in the door but you can still amp them at the head unit end.
  14. Pinkorstink

    worth it?

    You could amp the front speakers at the head unit end. Same with the rears.

    insurance prices on the rise?

    Premiums likely to go up by as much as 20% this year according to Insurance Times, they've had enough of losing on personal lines insurance for the last 5 years.

    A job well done that man.

    This morning.

    Were any other cars affected? it almost looks like a splash rather than a throw as if a roofers wagon has gone past and hit a bump. Strange for anyone to carry hot tar around. Tardis apparantly looking on the DW site.

    Brake lights, having to push hard.

    Exactly how I did it. Practically limbo'd down on my back in the footwell and poked the plunger back in a bit.

    200 or GP

    Very immature I know but how much hair do you have (OP)? Nearly every Mini driver I see is a slaphead. Yet to see one in a Clio 200/197.

    Miss-sold insurance, where do I stand?

    Go with it but ask them for their complaints procedure. Also ask for the name of their security compliance officer so you can gain a transcript of the telephone conversation(£10). Tell them you will be seeking assistance from the Insurance Ombudsman for a resolution. I have just been through...

    Sure it was red but it makes no odds, as said earlier, the advertiser is not claiming this one is the one on top gear, just as seen on top gear.

    Karcher k2 ? Powerful enough for cleaning the car ?

    I just got one from Tesco, 2.36 for £50. It foams perfectly and has all the power you need for the car.

    What pressure washer + foam lance combo?

    I recently purchased a Karcher 2.36 from Tesco for £50. Attached my foam lance and smothered the car with a very thick coating of foam. It's powerful enough (110bar) to remove the caked up crap under the arches. Quite impressed for a cheapo. The pressure washer will remove cats from the bonnet too.
