So not too much to report other than clio has developed a very annoying habit of the alarm going off every two to three hours which isn't even remotely annoying. ? So at three am I was sat on her looking for alarm issues. Oh, quite a few then. Atleast found out how to lock the car without...

Just had a look where the Hurts arms is, I'm good with this. Good roads near by and always looks busy.

This would be cool. Id recommend the clock warehouse in Shardlow. Just off the A50 and good size car park.

Always happy to say hello or go for a Clio inspired drive

There's three of us arctic boys in Melbourne, all within two streets lol

That was me chap. Nice to see another sport out on the road. Was a great day for a spirited drive.

Hmm, apparently the photos are too large to upload ?

Got a couple of bits done this afternoon. First off, re aligned the front wipers as after changing the wiper pump they were sitting slightly too high which was doing my tree. Secondly, I've been getting an occasional light on due to the pre cat lambda so I've replaced that too.

Also, all this time in the driving seat has also given me some time to think about what direction the car is going take. I'll be putting up a list of wanted mods up shortly I think to give a better idea of plans but, clubsport is gonna be the name of the game. I'm gonna spend some time looking...

Update. Since the belts have been done I've basically been gunning it everywhere. Car is so much fun to be in. I have managed to get a couple of bits done though. First off, I've finally got my washer pump changed and fitted the febi item. First time I've had the linkage out etc... All came...

Full of win!!!!

Saw it today whilst I was there. Very clean.

So, first impressions since collecting the car. It's a different car altogether. Sat in traffic it's easier on the throttle, better behaved at low speed and less jumpy. Up the rev is where the big difference is though. Car pulls a lot harder throughout the range and oddly sounds different too...

The same way everyone else does my friend.....

So just received a courtesy call from Mick, the timing is way out and whomever changed it last time appears to have not tentioned it correctly and as a result, the belt has been flapping against the inner cambelt cover and damaged it. New one of those it is then and im really glad it went in...

Not so much an update as an announcement. Car is being dropped off with Mick at Diamond tomorrow morning. I think the timing is out so I'm looking forward to getting it back to see the difference. Once that's done, I'm gonna start giving it some stick as I've been kind to it so far, once I...

Thank you kindly Steve M. Much appreciated. Wayne

Good afternoon All, I've had a look through the search function but don't seem to be any better off. Could anybody please confirm that the pic attached is the correct washer pump for a 182 please. I'd rather buy a genuine one but forty quid is pretty steep and this is twenty odd. Thanks in...

Also spoke to Diamond motors and gonna get the belts done at the end of the month.

Managed to 're align the rear exhausts too, though forgot to take an after photo apparently.

So I finally managed to get the car serviced today, and I remembered to take some photos. Most of the stuff removed wasn't too bad, though definitely will be improved by new items.

Cheers for the feedback, im pretty sure im gonna use him for the belt. Because I'd be buying the locking tools as well it would only work out a couple of hundred quid more for him to do it.

So today has been fun...... First off, big thank you to Renault Wolverhampton who managed to get my service items and my new front bearing out to me so quickly and at what I thought was a ridiculously cheap price. Now back to the fun, in the week, got the car on a ramp to hopefully diagnose a...

Haha always the way isn't it. It won't be to everyone's taste but I got them for 80 quid and I thought "they'd do the job for my first track day". My brother owns a wheel refurb company so will get him to sort them out. Was thinking white or pink.

Hopefully going to get the Fabia splitter fitted tomorrow so I can at least finish the front end. Will update with pics tomorrow.

Whilst I'm deciding what I'm gonna do about the belt situation, today I've finally got round to fitting my 3/4 plate and new rear plate which looks loads better. I've also had the usual front headlight washer issue where they leak over night. So I've added two one way valves (one in each line)...

As I've been given some vouchers towards a track day, and Donnington is only round the corner, thought I'd buy some cheap wheels to put on as track wheels. Gonna referb the above and then fit with some r888 when funds allow. But before these get fitted, I'm gonna need to purchase a few bits...

So I suppose I should update this. Due weather being shite and me being up and down the country, not a great deal has been done. First things first, this my daily so I've been racking up some miles, was on the way up to Manchester when the battery and stop light light started to flicker -...
