It could be a few things - some of the battery cells are bu66ered, the alternator isnt chargeing, something is draining it or just short journeys that dont give the alternator a chance to start re-charging the battery. Thats all the stuff that came up when one of my cars did it. It turned out to...

GirlRacer you dont work for WD40 by chance?;)

LOL - Well good luck T.Ferrino

I had an engine steam cleaned before and wasnt impressed, took some grime off but not much - some reccomended wonder wheels to me today for the alloy parts, havent tried it tho.

Hmmm Corrado VR6s have the more powerful engine - I think they are based on the MK2 golf? Some will maybe correct me on that - they are supposed to be great cars.

LOL the owner of our local renault garage had one for-sale. The only problem was he was always out driving it so no-one could get a test drive. In fact hes had a Scooby WRX, Evo 5 & 6, Integra Type R and a 306 GTI-6. They sit out the front in the morning "on-display" then he takes them away for...

Ive been in a very similar situation. The guy tried to get me charged but I was lucky the 2 policemen involved took my side although that was just luck I guess. I would hardly call mine a beating either - I hit him twice and chased him down the street with a Driver (Golf Club). I did go a bit...

Cheers guys. Im not ready to get it done yet but I can get a carrier through my work to deliver and collect them so distance shouldnt be a problem. I have to wait until my other transport is going again (if ever). I just worry that the colour might not be correct as Marks says. Ill contact...

LOL a vtr (only 8v tho) a Zetec-S (i think is 16v) both under group 10.

Yeah the current one isnt bad but I drive one at work every day so thats probably why I think it looks boring.

Anyone had it done? I tried a search but could find nothing. Theres not too much wrong with mine but a few bits of corrosion on them. I know someone that refubs alloys but I wouldnt trust him with my Willies ones as they have a polished rim.

Well in the spirit of cliosport hes the next model Golf which I reckon looks miles better than the current boring one. http://www.omniauto.it/home/golfv.htmhttp://www.omniauto.it/home/golfv.htm

Well ive only had my Willie for a week and come up against a mk3 16V and I was quicker. In my old cars ive some up against a few;Fiesta RS1800 was slightly slower than a mk2 16V but it was quicker than a mates 8V MK2. My Fiesta RST was very similar to a MK2 16V until i chipped it then it blew...

Oh and while on the topic of cars you cant compare my cousin struggeld to keep up with me while he was in a W reg scoob turbo and my in a 205 1.9D - all because of the corners - once out of the twisties he vanished. The Golf VR6 is hardly renowned for its tremendous handling. I am a golf fan...

LOL well I minced a couple VR6s in my old FRST and did fancy a VR6 before getting my Willie but wanted something that could handle brilliantly (not a VR6) and looked good (VR6s are boring). My workmate has one but thankfully hes far more intelligent than clio_hater.

Quote "Dont let the neighbours see you though as they might think you are drying your wheels!" So thats what you tell your neighbours when caught drying your wheels with your hairdryer:D;) "I WAS JUST TRYING TO LOOSEN MY WHEELNUTS - HONEST!!"

1989 F MK2 Fiesta XR2, 1 Owner, 49,000miles when I bought it 72,000 when i sold it 10 months later:) That was in 1994 and I payed £2000 for it and got £2200 when i sold it. Not that quick but great fun - drove a few older ones at the time my mates owned but none were anywere near as good.

:omailto:Cr@P">Cr@P news - sounds like your ok - dont know what could go to cause that - Hope you were Fully Comp insurance.

I hope not - we all know how often CM prangs his car!!

I changed the worn front tyres (2mm % 3mm) to the back last night to try and put off buying new tyres I cant afford - result= This morning on my way to work I have to go round 1 roundabout - drove on like normal turned right and out comes the rear end:oI left the roundabout sideways looking...

Hmmm I see what you mean;) Not totally clear but it is Friday night! I dont actually know what engine they had planned, all i can remember is the Focus itself wasnt really compatable with 4WD without a lot of modifications and cost. The next Focus apparantly can take 4WD no problem so there...

LOL no the Focus mk1 platform, it wasnt designed for 4WD so a cossie 4WD version would have been £100,000s of pounds each - the new platform for the nex-gen Focus can supposedly take 4WD;)

I lost £300 after a garage gave me the wrong info on a RS1800 Fiesta. They told me it had 1 owner so i put the deposit down - I then found it had 6 owners so wasnt prepared to buy the car for the money they wanted. They would not give me my money back - the guy sounded upset and couldnt...

LOL well im used to it already just my Girlfriend commented on it so I thought id check it out. I have some other quieries but ill save them for another day.

In answer to the question at the start; Some turbo cars dont have much power because thats what the manufaturers deem to be the best comprimise between grip and acceleration. Reviews of torque steer and wheelspin dont sell cars. ou can certainly up the power very easily although some cars with...

I had a guy in a Scoob try it on last night but i was escorting my Girlfriend in a knackered ZX home. He was in a W reg Turbo so i would have been gubbed anyway. The ZX Heater matrix died apparantly - meaning that instead of hot air, the ZX Heater was blowing out steam!! To finish it off the...

LOL well I had my first proper "encounter" as a willie owner tonight. The few so far have been idiots in slow cars. Just finished work and came up to the roundabout to the dual carrageway. There is a beautiful looking car in front with Mitusbishi on one side of the boot lid and GR on the other -...

:DGood news, i was wondering as ive never felt a clutch like it - ill need a gym membership to strenghen my left leg.

Ive never driven a sporty renauly before so there could be nothing wrong but my Clio Willies clutch is heavier than any other car ive owned. Is this normal or is there something about to fail?

I looked at the normal things you would for any car, I dont think i checked anything different because it was a williams. Just check everything works correctly electrical wise aswell, renaults seem to get a few minor faults that way. The rear arches can rust but the one your looking shouldnt...
