    Spacer literally "welded" onto front hub/disc

    Take the disc off and fit a new one?

    Very lucky escape, huge lesson learned.

    I follow a simple rule... All car dealers are lying scum-of-the-earth dishonest basterds. Sorry if this offends, exceptions are rare in my bitter experience. You should certainly report this case to trading standards as the seller is obviously going to try to sell this hooky car to some...

    Service History and the trade

    I've been on some cringeworthy test drives where I've asked a simple question about the car and the salesman has replied "I don't know, I'm not a mechanic" WTF are these people doing selling cars if they know nothing about them? A friend of mine came very close to buying a new 5 series BMW. He...

    Clio 200 seats - standard & cheap!

    How handy are you at fitting things? They may or may not be a straight bolt-in fit but if you want me to measure the bolt spacings for the 200 seat runners (4 bolts connect them to the car) then drop me a pm and I'll get the tape measure out. :-)

    Clio 200 seats - standard & cheap!

    I'm not sure if they would be a direct fit but I can take some measurements if it helps. They would be a nice conversion tho, more supportive than 182 seats and you can fold them forwards for rear seat access.

    Clio 200 seats - standard & cheap!

    Ooh thanks for the tip off 200 :-) Do I offer the airbags to a breaker or chuck them on eBay?

    172 sputtering at 2k

    It might be a ball ache but maybe try changing back to standard induction. Otherwise, sounds like it might be pulling in some air after the throttle body- make sure there aren't any stray breather or vacuum hoses that may have been pulled off the inlet. Also, Im not sure why they would have...

    Clio 200 seats - standard & cheap!

    Yeah, to be honest I'll make them into office chairs if there are no takers. I might remove the airbags first tho!

    Opinions please

    A passionate contribution Fred! Im leaning towards the V6 - I'll look at this more seriously in the new year. I've noticed Phase 1 V6's for less than £8k, are they generally dogs at this price? I guess my budget would be around the £14k to £16k mark - is this realistic to get a good one? How...

    Opinions please

    Im thinking about chopping my year old 200 Cup in for a late V6. Either that or an Exige, but Im leaning towards Clio v6. Any thoughts? I walk to work so fuel economy is a non-issue. Present 200 is on a PCP so I'd have to buy through a dealer and have the finance settled, not a big issue to...

    Funniest Thing You Have Been Told By A Dealer...

    Going back a few years when I was buying a 172 Cup from Fords of Winsford, aka Frauds-of-Winsford. Out on the test drive the salesman said something about ABS/ESP and how safe these cars are......so I locked all four wheels at 50. I think he actually shat himself and went very quiet after that.

    Looking for a detailer in Northwich/Cheshire area

    Hi, I live in Northwich and I want to treat my 200 Cup to a proper full interior valet and exterior detail (alien sperm wax etc), hopefully to also offer the bodywork some extra winter protection. Can anybody make a recommendation?
