Superb! I'll have to remember that one....

Perhaps they should divert a nano-fraction of their energy into searching forums better then instead of just creating a new thread that's been done to death?

Hopefully this has put your mind at rest then?

Clarky, it wasn't a race and this isn't a race thread!!! Is that the way it comes across? That really isn't the point at all!!! As for your posts on this thread, if it offends you so much why bother keep reading it and replying? It's a forum, used for discussion, that's what this is. It...

So did I when he put his foot down, and I was doing 70ish.

Dunno, but he obviously felt he had to. Read it again. I was going about my business! I only overtook him because I was simply going faster, he was the one who couldn't cope with it and must have thought I wanted to race him. That would be a bit silly wouldn't it? V8 vs straight four!!!

I have one of those! Have you tried twisting the tweeter mesh cover thingy? (again with the terminology...) Mine seems to be a bit loose.

I accept all the above comments, BUT what exactly do you hope to achieve? So you confront the manager and he says 'Yes we ragged the tits off it for 12 miles'. Then what? I had my 12k service at GDI and was happy for Andy to take it for a test drive afterwards. No it wasn't 12 miles (unless...

F*CK ME!!! I post a thread with a little story about an encounter (not a race) with a fcuking Aston Martin FFS and get slammed by half the people that replied, saying that the thread was 'pointless'!!! This forum might as well be called 'Same Sh!t Different Day Sport' it continues like this...

Er, it's called a story mate. Try reading it. Alternatively I think there's a new one up there about 182 vs CTR for the 500th time, that might be more up your street. Blimey, some of the people on here...!!! :rolleyes:

Rattles are normal. I have a few (in the car!). Once I had this really annoying one from the side of the dash. I stuck my hand up there and found that the tube thingy had come away from the back of the air vent. I know all the technical terms me...!

Well if they have ragged it I'm sure it won't have been for the full 12 miles...! Don't worry about it they probably didn't hammer it any more than you do :) As for the oil, ring them and ask what grade it is! 5w40 it should be, 10w40 will be OK but not preferred.

Maybe his engine died and he was phoning the AA? Might explain why I pulled away from him?!!!

Hmmmm... The phone AND the Rolex maybe.... Or maybe just the Rolex on it's own...

No mate, your mum told me.

There aren't any twisties in Milton Keynes, all the roads are straight...

Before I start, there's no way in hell I would ever say that a 182 is quicker (under normal circumstances).... Driving through Milton Keynes the other day along a stretch of DC going towards Newport I spied an 06 plate Aston a few hundred yards ahead. Not sure which one, they all look the...

Why not try Silkolene Pro S or Motul 300V. Both 5w40 fully synthetic and better (by all accounts) than Elf. I'm running Silkolene and it warms up quicker, better response, better MPG etc. Also as long as you use Reno parts you can have your 12k service anywhere you flippin like. I used GDI near...

Er, have you been everywhere in the universe then?? :S

Have you tried one yet? I found that the power lead was too short and kept pulling the unit off it's magnetic bracket. Also had problems getting a signal through the coated / laminated windscreen. Was a complete pain in the crack. When it was working and still on it's bracket it was going off...

I know, it's criminal.... I'm thinking sell the changer on eBay and buy the changer and cable together from a different source, as you say. I found a place that tell me they have them for about £100.

It's a 54 (04) with Cabasse HU so I guess I've got the wrong changer then! Cheers guys.

Can anyone put me straight on this. I got a Renault/Alpine CD changer off eBay which came out of a Laguna. I got the cable to connect them from Matt at SRB. The two fit together but it does not work, although there is some power to the changer. On the changer there are two rows of pins, and on...

I don't have the spoiler pack on my Arctic Blue one. I like the little chin spoiler but don't like the bootlid one, perferring the FF version instead. If either of the packs is likely to make any real difference it's the suspension one, and that won't be much, but I think the anthracite looks...

Nothing makes a 182 driver better in general. What I'm getting at is that the RS Clio is more of an enthusiasts car i.e. bought by people who appreciate how it drives and like to drive it 'enthusiastically', whereas my stereotypical company R32 driver (like the ones I've seen) just get them...

Flippin Intel processors in everything these days.... ;)

There's always the driver factor too... Bearing in mind the price of the MK5 it will be restricted largely to company car / private lease drivers. Not saying that means they can't drive, but the ones I've seen couldn't drive a greasy stick up a pig's arse (or something) and they were all quite...

Are you sure it wasn't a burnout. They are often orangey brown!

Fast and Furious? More like Dumb and Dumber. r****d.

P.S. Is it because you don't trust them to use the right ones? If so I'd just supply the oil. You qualify for a bit of discount at http://www.opieoils.co.uk/ iirc.
