    Anyone from Wankashire?

    So i'm looking for a shed around £500 to use while I save for a new gearbox/clutch/labour etc, and I thought that looks alright I wonder where it is? http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3037415.htm

    Locking the boot without battery power?

    My car's going to be sitting on my drive for a few months due to a broken gearbox. I've disconnected the battery so it doesn't go flat, but obviously I can't lock the boot. The only thing of value in the car is the HU, which I might end up sticking in whatever shed I buy in the mean time...

    Broken Gearbox possible reason?

    Following on from my broken gearbox thread http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?593141-BANG!!-amp-the-gearbox-is-gone. I had a quick look at it today and it's covered in crap that could be the gearbox oil, the only thing is I think it might have been there for a while as it's half...

    Question about gearbox oil

    After reading countless threads about gearbox oil I have a question. Is this the stuff Renault recomend/sell for about £50 ? http://www.ukpricebusters.com/acatalog/Elf_Tranself_NFP_75W-80_Gear_Oil_5_Litre.html Because it says GL4 and all the threads say GL5 apart from one.

    2nd Gear crunching badly!

    I'm driving home from work and out of the blue second gear starts crunching like i've not pressed the clutch enough, except it's flat to the floor. All the other gears are fine but second now crunches every time sending a judder through the car, obviously I stopped using second after a few...

    Balck 182 Coventry

    Saw a black 182 at the Central six roundabout, next to the Rocket pub at 4:25pm. I doubt i'll get a responce to this as none of my spotted threads ever do, i'm starting to think apart from Curley, Scotty172cup & me, no one else in Cov is a bloody member!

    172 & Valver, Halfords Coventry

    About 2:30pm today in Halfords car park Foleshill Rd Coventry. As I came out of Halfords in the car park there was a Dark Blue Ph2 172, and a Dark Blue Valver with a tow strap on the front. No idea if there on here, but worth a try.

    Engine flush after 2 years?

    I haven't changed the oil in my car for 2 years due to poverty, (not good I know but in the last year eating was more important) it was all I could do to keep the damn thing on the road, but i've got a new job now and can sort the car out properly once again. It's been 2 years since the last...

    Does your HU get really hot?

    I did a round trip of about 50 miles today and both times I removed the HU face it was bloody roasting! When I got back to my house I took the face off and pressed my hand against the HU and it was so hot it was like pressing your hand on to a central heating radiator, I swear it's not...

    Squeeling from front n/s wheel when turning right.

    Today I noticed a squeeling noise from the front n/s but it only happens when turning right, a bit like brake squeel but i'm not touching the brakes. Possible wheel bearing? Although I though that was a rumbling/grinding noise?

    Engine getting up to temp really fast.

    Not really a fault as the car's fine but recently from cold the temp gauge is rising to operating temperature in under 5mins, it normally takes at least 10-15mins, I can't believe the oil can heat up that quickly, any ideas? (ph2 172) I've read that the thermostat can go wrong on these but the...

    Alternator to recharge battery how far in Distance?

    My car sat on the drive for about a month and now i've got battery problems, i've given it a bit of a charge and it starts. I'm thinking of taking it for a drive down the motorway in the hopes that the alternator charges it up a bit, I live in Coventry and I thought a blast down the M69 to...

    RS Tuner no longer recognising VIN

    My car went mental this morning with warning lights, so I plugged the RS Tuner in to check for fault codes, it connected no problem with the ecu and said no faults, so I refreshed the fault reader and still nothing, so I disconnected, looked at my dash and had some lights on so I reconnected...

    Anyone used Khumo KU39?

    TBH i'm running out of ideas for tyres in the £50 range in 195/45/16 I've searched online and rang loads of places and they've all told me that KU31s have been discontinued and replaced by KU39s. Has anyone used them or know anything about them? Yes i've done a search.

    What to insure my 172 for.

    This isn't a what's my car worth thread, i've got a fair idea what it would sell for. I am about to insure it with a modified car insurer and they've told me to insure it for what it's worth plus all the mods, in the event it gets written off I need to have enough of a pay out to create the...

    Recieved an email from Renault today about a new car.

    Hmm, think i'll stick with the 172, although if I had £20 to waste I would have a go, it would be like playing bumper cars.

    Canon vs Nikon

    I've used a Canon 5D for ages now, but it looks like I might be getting a job at a makeover studio using their equipment, I forgot ask what they use i'm asuming it will be either Canon or Nikon.
