I've found that putting at least one of the moisture traps inside the car and one under the bonnet does wonders. The first year I garaged my Clio, I had a bit of mold growing on the seat belts and my plugs were compleltely fouled as moisture had worked its way to them. Second year, I popped...

Haha absolutley, I'll put on my poshest Cumbrian accent, that always does the trick 😅

4 is still less than your previous 5 though, got to use that flawless logic to convince the missus and she'll be unable to argue against it 🤔

Best time to get one is now before they become really rare, and people start cranking the price up.

I think I've got first dibs on it, but if I pass on it I'll let you know straight away!

I can definitely ask :ROFLMAO: maybe if you make it a Mars Bar Duo, that would seal the deal.

My uncle has one of these, it's a nice bit of kit. His is a Phase 1 underneath but with the Phase 2 front bumper and lights. He somehow managed to get it for around £1500 two years ago off someone who didn't really know what they had.

BTT Motorsport in Wigan coded my airbag lights out on my 172, give them a ring and I'm sure they'd be happy to help.

I'd be interested to see if the cheaper ones are worth the punt! If you do give them a go, I'd love to see a picture once they're fitted.

I've had a quick look into this before as I want to freshen up my headlights too. From what I can tell, the Hella ones are unfortunately Left Hand Drive only, so they're not compatible with RHD cars. As for the cheaper brands, I'm not too sure. It seems like they're compatible but I'm yet to see...

My Phase 1 is terrible when it's cold in the morning, especially with the throttle cable being a bit sticky. I can manage either 1% throttle or 100%, there's no inbetween so I end up kangarooing down the street like a right tit. My neighbours must love me 😬

Said goodbye to the Megane this week, was a properly nice car but was the right time to sell it. Plus I get to spend more on the Phase 1 as well which is a nice bonus. They did look good together!

Perfect, that's the one I'd been eyeing up, just needed a second opinion thank you!

Alright boys, need a bit of advice. I'm pulling the engine out of my Saab again next weekend and I'm looking at picking up a few nice impact tools to make life easier. A powerful impact wrench and rachet wrench is what I'm thinking, but I'm open to any other suggestions as well. Also, they'll...

Sweet that's good to know. I'm guessing I won't need to re-wire anything, it's more just a case of moving plugs around? And any idea what kind of power I'd be making alongside a 182 manifold, decat and PMS exhaust?

Took the old shed out to the top of Hartside again for that obligatory sunset picture. Just out of interest, is anyone in here running a RS2 Inlet on their Phase 1? I'm curious as to how it works with the throttle cable set up. And also, is it worth doing?

That's good to know, I do fancy one but the interior was the only thing putting me off. If only they'd chosen any other colour than cream!

I know a lot of people dislike the Exclusive's but I think they look fantastic! I'm seriously considering getting one to go alongside my PB Phase 1 once I've sold my Megane. Is the leather interior a bit weird or is it a nice place to be?

Looks amazing! Is it an import from Japan?

I find using a normal sized socket and one of these bendy knuckles gives you enough reach to get in to the nuts.

Take the fuel rail guard off, it's a doddle to do and it'll make life much easier for removing the filter.

I'll hopefully be heading to the Motorist this Saturday for their 'Fabulously French' event in my Phase 1, if it makes it out of the paint shop in time. Would be good to see another Phase 1 there, even if you did just go last weekend!

Spotted this absolute pristine MG Montego the other week, just over 31,000 miles on the clocks.

K-TEC do a sports cat that will get you through your MOT, but it is a bit on the expensive side - see here

That seems like really strong money for a car with no MOT and in need of a cambelt change. While the flame red phase 1's are pretty rare, I'd say that's probably worth £2k max if it's not rotten underneath and it's all original inside. Judging by the bumper quick releases, I'd say its had a...

Oh wow that is a bit of a trek away, but it's still do-able. To be honest I can't remember his name but it most likely was, would be a weird coincidence otherwise haha

We'll have to get a picture of them together at some point, don't think you're too far north of me. Funnily enough I was talking to one of the guys in EuroCarParts in Carlisle last year and said he'd chatted with you about your Clio, made me laugh when he showed me how close the plates were.

They're all Renault heritage/press cars that were sold to a collector who is now selling them on I gather.

Finally back on the road after keeping it in storage over the winter, didn't want to risk driving it on the world's worst winter roads that we have in the Lakes. Feels amazing to be back out in it, especially seeing it alongside my most recent purchase.

Chris Harris did a walk around the cars and a quick drive review for this release.
