From AutoExpress: Shell has been rapped for making claims about its Optimax petrol that ex-perts say arent true. The company said in leaflets that its product "gives you an extra burst of fuel when you need it" but the Advertising Standards agency ruled that this would not apply to all...

One of the foglamps on our Megane cab has broken. Trying to order a replacement at the moment - can anyone tell me whether the foglamps are the same throughout the range (hatch, coupe, cabriolet) or whether the coupe and cab have different ones?

After sl*gging off Tesco in a thread earlier this month, I was amazed to get my renewal through the post this week. Last year it was £509, and this year they want £446! I had max NCB already, so it wasnt that. Amazing, a price reduction, and I didnt even ask!

There was a thread about this a while ago - concerning the fact that fitting 17"s would throw the speedo out by a few mph. So I did some careful tests yesterday using the Origin B2 as a measure. I assume the Origin is accurate :) The speedo on my car still over-reads even with the 17"s fitted...

from Netscape News: Tuesday, Feb. 10, 2004 Millionaire Hit with Record Speeding Fine HELSINKI (Reuters) - One of Finlands richest men has been fined a record 170,000 euros ($217,000) for speeding through the center of the capital, police said on Tuesday...

Can you take bits off the dash (like the coin tray on the top, or the cup-holders) without removing the whole dash, or are they all one piece?

Posted this a while ago but got no help - maybe I didnt explain well enough.. Mate of mine has a 2001 1.6 16v Clio. First thing in the morning when cold, the engine revs to around 5000rpm all on its own (foot nowhere near accelerator). Does this repeatedly until its warmed up. Renault have...

As above - 2002 model Clio 1.6 16v - engine revs to about 5k rpm on its own when cold. BRUM BRUM :o Anyone else had this - its fine once its warmed up.

according to the members discount section: Radar UK supplies speed camera detectors of various types. We have a discount for the Origin B2 (£355 inc Vat & P+P) and the Road Angel (£325 inc Vat & P+P). Has anyone bought one from these people?

Parked in the cold and frosty weather outside the pub last night, my car attracted a coating of frost. On the roof I could clearly see the shape of a sunroof. So. Do the bodyshells come with a hole for the sunroof as standard? NB - if you know the answer to this I suggest that you try to get...

I know nothing about either of these. I need a GPS speed trap detector - if it can detect mobiles too that would be great. While this is being fitted (I wont do it myself) Id like a handsfree kit for my 3510i too. What exactly do I need, and, Is there anywhere in the Midlands thatll...

Now Ive got a nice set of wheels Im going to use the old ones for trackdays etc, so I thought Id buy a trolley jack to make changing them over a bit easier. Can anyone explain (pics would be great) where I should position the jack under the car? Bit worried about bending something :confused:

Got some of this stuff in the supermarket yesterday - they were practically giving it away. It says to spray it onto the tyre, but will the overspray do the wheels any harm? http://www.cares4cars.co.uk/target_imgs/images/products/tyresli.jpg

OK I got some nice new rims, and now I can see a lot more of the brake caliper, pipes etc. I plan to get some grooved discs soon, but other than that what can I do to make this look good? Its a mess! http://www.mike.easley.dsl.pipex.com/brake1.jpg

Slightly OT (but there might be a soft-top Clio someday!) The soft-top on our Megane is beginning to show its age - some areas are not really black anymore where it folds, and the rear screen isnt as see-through as it once was. Ive heard there is a kit that contains all the goodies you need to...

Ordered some wheels from Halfords last weekend (I know, I should have known better, but they had a 20% off everything sale and I had no time to go anywhere else before Trax). Anyhow, the car was booked in for 1.00pm today to have them fitted. So I take the car in, introduce myself (hello sir...

... anyone here? Are you ok? Otherwise an awesome event, only about 30 cars, one of the best track events Ive been on. Well done Renaultsport :D

The club (Ivan actually I think) arranged a discount when buying brake stuff from Tar-ox (see the members section). Anyhow I ordered some fast-road pads for my 172, and got them fitted yesterday. First impressions are that they are at least as good as the standard items around town (I was...

OK we get a discount off brake pads at Tarox <A target=_blank href= "http://www.cliosport.net/members/discounts.asphttp://www.cliosport.net/members/discounts.asp but what do I order?? I just need some new front pads for my Mk2 172, suitable for track days and the usual good seeing-to on the...

k-tec - if youre around, any news on the carbon fibre front splitter that was due at the end of June? Thanks.

I have a squeak from the rear drum on our Megane. Can anyone tell me what I have to do to get the drum off once Ive removed the wheel please?

Could some kind soul put these wheels on my car please? 17"s. Thank you!! http://www.millemiglia.co.uk/images/wheels/ht3.jpg http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/sideon.jpg

:D

Anyone done one of these recently? Just had a call from a salesman offering me a place on one.

Can any of you PS Gurus show me what this wheel (Mille Miglia HT3) would look like on my car please. Car is already lowered 30mm and wheels would be 17"s. Thanks! http://www.millemigliawheels.com/images/ruota_ht3_argmet.gif http://homepages.tesco.net/~mmikee/low/1.jpg

OK its still a Corsa, but it sounds like theyve really gone to town on this one... http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/?news/ae_news_story.php?id=36876http://www.autoexpress.co.uk/?news/ae_news_story.php?id=36876

The rear (drum) brakes on our Megane are going squeak as the pedal is pressed. They dont squeak during braking, just at the moment when the pedal is first pressed. I fully intend to ge the wheels off to have a look but what should I be looking for / doing to stop it please?
