I have a whine coming from somewhere at the front. Noticed it about a week ago, and im pretty sure i never heard it before then. Seems to be noisier after a cold start, however its still there, and is more noticeable when dipping the clutch and lifting off accelerator. Idle and in neutral if...

Any of you lot need some tyres for epic prices head to foxhunters in Whitley Bay. Just got 2 Hankook v12's in 205/45/16 for £155 fitted, inc balancing, new valves and disposal of old ones. Heading back tomorrow for 2 more for the front and laser aligning them if need be :) Also one of the...

Replacing mine tomorrow to hopefuly sort out my temp guage hardly budging. Do i need just the thermostat, or the housing aswell? Ta.

Been doing some reading regarding the above. Ive noticed lately that my temp gauge will only hit half way when it sits running idle. If im driving anywhere it will only sit around 3 bars at the most, dipping just under sometimes, and it never spikes up or down. Just after some clarification...

I noticed a few small pools of oil gathering on my 182's engine the other day so soaked them up with kitchen roll, checked today and the pools of oil are back. The oil is gathering around the bolts on top of the engine, under the plenum, sorry for the vague description, but im a technical noob...

Spotted both about an hour ago near the cheese farm at blagdon. You must of been both together as you were in a line of traffic with 1 car between you.

Drivers side outer boot has come off and all the grease has been dumped onto my rim :(. Is it easy enough to put it back on if the fronts jacked up on axle stands? Just noticed it and have no idea how long its been off so would like to get it done sharpish.

Spotted heading towards the roundabout next to the Wheatsheaf today. Just caught a glimpse, wasn't sure if it was a 197 or 200, either way looked sexy ;)

My dads laptop runs like a bag of s***e. Its about 5 years old, a Toshiba Satellite L300D-18E. Im not familiar with laptops at all and was wondering if its best to use the recovery disk or a new os to restore the laptop back to as new. I read somewhere that if you install a fresh os that it...

Basically all settings work, just cant turn the damn thing off. Can change the temp no problem, can change where it blows from, can change the speed of the fan, everything but turn the fecker off. When i start the car up, it blows really fast for a couple of seconds then slows down to the...

Can you buy them? Tried getting my hangers off yesterday and they are totally seized on. Poxy tiny torx screws dont help either. Tried searching, but just keeps bringing up the hangers themselves ^^. If you cant, ive got some sheet alu that i might fab some with.

My rear exaltos are looking a little worse for wear. They have plenty of tread, just the cracking round the sidewalls concerns me. Ive heard Michelins are bad for this, is that true? The cracks are about 1-2mm deep at most, but go right round the sidewall. Just after some opinions from more...

Just checked my f&r springs. Rear springs have red/white markings on them, which from what ive found are cup springs. The front have yellow and blue markings on them, which from what ive found, a yellow mark indicates non cup. I tried checking the bolt spacing on the front, and it looks like...

Just had a quote off a local Renault specialist of £330 to fit the cambelt kit, aux kit, dephaser and water pump......i'll be supplying them. It was TW S Barker in the toon btw ​Does that sound like a decent price to pay? Not sure if this is right place, so apologies if it is.

Just got it yesterday (friday) and set about giving it a clean today as it was manky. Took it for a spin and got some pics done :) Well happy with it. Interior is spotless, paintwork is damn good for its age with just a couple of marks and usual small stonechips. Jobs to do: Cambelt etc...

Spotted a 172 cup i think with a quad exhaust on the A1 near hexham turn off at about 7:30pm last night. Exhaust looked a bit like this:

Good day one and all :D New around here, obviously, and without a clio, but im hoping to rectify that soon! Hopefully getting my mits on a 182 either tomorrow or saturday:clap:. Have owned a 172 before and loved it, was actually one of my biggest regrets selling it, but nvm. Cheers ​Wayne
