Just dont go to the total garage on cardigan lane to use their jetwash - both times I've used it when my car dried it was covered in white water marks.

great pics.. where did you get the white dials from? me want :)

yep.. oil pump went, and that was that really.. crankshaft bearing siezed :( just out of warranty too.. excellent! I wont be selling it for a long time now, should be getting a company car soon, so this is getting turned into a country lane and track toy hopefully (if something else doesn't...

well - it seems it was the battery afterall - I really didn't expect it to just die like that! so that means in the last month the car has cost me: Replacement engine: £800 Fitting new engine, clutch, cambelt, general service: £1500 new rear shocks x2 (today) £106 and now I'll add a new...

doors lock fine, any idea which fuses might be at fault? I can't see one for the ignition on the diagram.. not sure what other fuses it could be.. unless its one from under the bonnet? It has recently had a replacement engine (1000 miles ago) so I suppose there is a small chance something is...

just been out for a drive, and went to go out again.. I can't see my battery being dead, everything works with the keys in, cd etc - but when I go to turn the engine over all I hear is a click from a relay, there is no hint of a sound of the engine trying to start.. anyone got any ideas of...

Worst thing thats ever happend to me when overtaking was a transit van moving over to try and push me off the road - that was not funny at all, and very nearly did have me off the road, and probably into a tree or similar at 60mp+ what you described regularly happens though, it makes no sense...

cheers for that, bumping an old thread so i find it when i get home :) both my rears have totally gone, I don't think the car is supposed to continually bounce at the back, even with a boot full of work gear!

looked nice, think you saw me in my racing blue.. sure I've seen the car on here somewhere before! anthricite 172 alloys :)

Went past you in a bit of a hurry (as usual) but realised the pub wasn't worth a ban, you followed me until Bradford I think.. Racing blue 182 anyway, spose yours might have been black (twas dark afterall) but im pretty sure it was monaco blue! If you're on here, yes, I know my right...

Saw you parked up near the entrance on Sat, cut down private plate and a cliosport sticker :) I was there all day trying to cure a boarding craving, sadly indoors doesn't quite cut it :( roll on new year

as they are going on a chav chariot, get the second ones

The racing meganes look amazing! Love the old alpines too :)

when i last got pulled over for speeding the police hated me because they couldn't actually prove how fast I was going (passed them going the other way on some back lanes) they wanted to get me for something, and gave my car a full going over - he knew I didn't have a cat (its pretty obvious...

snowboarder eh? :p where'd you get the ride sticker from? nice cars :)

lol, shouldn't be that bad actually.. it got a bit of a hammering for 2 weeks solid working in the peak district, and one day it made a bit of a tapping sound after i dropped a gear. Its on my rents drive at the minute until I decide where to take it, Renault claimed the belt must have slipped...

sat nav had us down some hilarious "roads" in Denmark.. we did it anyway though :p any 182 engines in? :(

my 9-3 didn't have sat nav, and had a shark fin.. I don't think saab have the aerials in the rear window. On the subject of shark fins on clio's, ive seen it and it didn't look great - go for a short aerial as everyone else has suggested :)

mine dropped by £250 when i first started driving - now i've got 4 years no claims I've taken him off, it doesn't make it any cheaper anymore

i thought mine being £450 was bad enough.. depends how desperate you are to get insured on a car I suppose - I guess its just worth the risk to some people, they hopefully wont crash!

haha, they might have done, although they were overtaken for doing 20mph on back lanes - I think they were too old to realise they were even in a car, so probably didn't notice me overtake or break down! :p I'll give RS tuning a call tomorrow thanks

did she have a big sticker on the back side window? I keep seeing a girl in an RB on the M60 whenever I've been working in the office

cheers, well the car seems to idle fine, its just the tapping that is worrying. obviously its impossible for anyone on here to decide what might be wrong with it, but that does put me in a slightly better mood edde :) any other suggestions as to where to take the car?

Hi, Basically dropped a gear to overtake someone the other day, and after that had a slight tapping sound coming from the engine - pulled over straight away and got it towed to renault. lots of shaking heads, one guy thought it was coming from the bottom of the engine (I'm not convinced) and...

nope, i'm pretty sure it was insomias car - gold 172 replica ;) saw a black 182 later on too

me too.. new discs too as i warped them :( lesson learned!

Think it was you anyway.. overtook the van behind you, and you turned off soon afterwards - I was on one of my drives :)

lol, sorry tom - I just developed a dislike for them when one with a massive "911 killa" sticker on the back window tried racing me through a town center. fast isn't everything!

at the end of the day though, you shouldn't care - it looks like a piece of ugly girly s**t, the fact that its fast doesn't matter :)

the new ones are! I passed one quite fast on a motorway, he didn't like it, and no matter how much I gave it, he was always catching me (noticably!) I do really like the looks of the new cupras :)
