Here is a question I have concerning changing the wheels on my clio. My current dynamique alloys are 4x100, et43, 15 x 6j Now, if i wass to fit some 16" alloys with the same offset, but which were 7j width, would i need spacers as I would think the wheel would be 0.5" wider to each side of...

AH ok, misunderstood. Didnt realise i should use it every tank, may start doing that then.

yep. I know its not a performance car, but the additives are good for your engine, and the slightly higher mpg i get for the unleaded balances out the slightly higher cost of filling the tank.

My 1.6 is currently on 41.3 mpg with a 5 mile run to town, then about 45 mins of town driving, then a 5 mile run back home. Thats using super unleaded every 4th tank of fuel. I would definately say yours is low if you are taking it easy.

you could have done a search for this, but as far as i know they are 13cm, I know they are in the Mk2, but not definate about the Mk 1

how did you get the boot holdall attached to your seats? when i put anything in mine and then drove anywhere, it would just fall off.

noticed it on mine as well, just things powering down and stopping. Was in the RAF and when you had electrical power switched on when working on a jet, if you shut it off when in the cockpit you could hear all sorts of whirring slowly dieing off as servos etc powered down.

Is it not possible that these faults happebed after the service and before the MOT? You say the service was carried out last month, how long ago exactly. I would imagine they will say these faults occurred after the service they carried out. It is possible.

so true! the amount of threads on here where people get slagged off for speeding, but then when this guy does it at even more dangerous speeds, he is called a legend! Amazing eh?!

i always understood that even if someone crahses into you, you have to pay the excess untyil the claim is sorted. So it doesnt matter if its your fault or not, the excess will still have to be paid initially, so is everyone saying they can afford to just shell out £750 in a oner?

i volunteered to have a voluntary excess of £450 but when i got my policy they made it £135 without raising the premium, well happy.

the whole Bebo/MySPace things is for children or paedophiles imo anyway. Just dont get the point of it myself. I knwo some lads who i used to work with were all on bebo, and all the friends they had on it were people who they saw just about every day anyway! WTF is the point?

Was that the boot lock surround off ebay Rich? Looks mint! Would love to come and have a look at it next time I am home in the North East.

don't like it, sorry, the front wheels don't look right in the arches with it that low.

yeah, halfords paint and wet and dry paper. fm avas guide was very helpful, as i wouldnt have known where to start!

Mmm, i know pics would be good, but i didnt take any at all the stages so the only pics i will be able to put will be the finished ones in a few days time. Was a bit worried about how easy it would be to do, but to be honest, buy the correct wet and dry, primer, paint and some lacquer, take...

^^no worries dude lol

Well, a few days ago i decided i wanted to paint the silver surround of my head unit black so it didnt stand out so much to people and indictae i had an aftermarket hu. Whilst looking, I thought to myself, mmm, the dash insert strips are a bit scratched (been like that since i got the car) so...

yeah, so the wheels with offset 25 have the wrong pcd, as they are not 4x100. Whos wrong?

Not exactly that bad, have seen worse things on here!

the 25 offset doesnt have the right pcd, you need 4x100

the thing that makes tyres black is the amount of carbon in the rubber. coloured tyres contain less of this and as a result would wear quicker. So it is probably not cost effective and tyre companies would end upnot selling many after people realise how quick they wear out. Remeber this from...

no its not, as the renault 15" dynamique alloys on my 2003 dynamique 1.6 have et43 stamped on the inside. sorry for reposting that statement, didnt think it had worked.

the alloys on my car, dynamique 15" alloys, have et43 stamped on the inside, so its not "rubbish" as someone said.

what model has foxy got, as mine is a ph2 1.6 dynamique and the offset is et43. everyone always quotes dynamiques as 37/38 but its not necessarily true.

Czesc, welcome to CS

they had the tracking number and therefore the info that delivery was attempted and it was the buyer that failed to collect it. Therefore not my fault. They say that I can not have the item and the money, thing is I spent the money because the buyer waited so long to file the dispute. I...

My Dynamique alloys are offset 43mm

Hows this? Recently sold an item on ebay for £500. Buyer paid using Paypal, i recieved the payment and sent the item along with tracking info. Guy then files a dispute saying he has not recieved item, even though i confirmed address with him, Royal Mail attempted delivery, he didnt collect...
