have you got cruise turned on? That stops it. Adrian

The best thing you can do is park it as far away from any other cars in the car park, your worst enemy is other car doors!

I told them to f**k off because they wanted more than £200 extra than directline, I was with norwich union direct for 3 years. The guy on the end of the phone said there was obviously no point in going to norwich union! Had they had been anywhere near the directline quote Id have stayed with...

pity that they dont actually appear to have done anything other than cosmetic changes, by far the biggest gripe with tomtom is the time it takes to plan a long journey, other systems dont seem to have a problem. I remember one guy planning a journey accross the UK and it still hadnt finished...

youd need to replace each relay with a transistor/fet based circuit, which is going to be an amount of effort and warrantly invalidating, alternatively turn your stereo up!

Given the fact that autocar themselves said that they had never had a 172 as fast as the original one they had from renault on test, Id take these figures with a pinch of salt until people here have their cars run in and timed properly. If these figures are correct (as in, not a car supplied...

youre all wrong. Rather confusingly "artic" blue is this rather fetching shade of brown. ;) http://erc.qmuc.ac.uk/cliosport/gallery/full/1079177962__arc_blue.jpg

and what makes you think a Type-R would have faired any better in the same situation? Look at some of the wrecks on this site that people have walked away from..... I think there are other reasons for owning a Type-R, safety not being one of them, renault (for the good) are obsessed with ncap...

youll need too without climate control! ;) (*unless you have a cup with climate)

Unfortunately (for you) theres nothing there with the damage (that I can see) which gives any indication of whos to blame. The damage to your car could have equally been caused by you going into the side of him. Out of interest what exactly do you think makes it look obvious that he caused the...

bin. (my god an 8 track, my parents had loads of 8 track casette thingies....) Adrian

mp3s are not naturally gapless, they have a number of samples in them which are silent (I think its 30 or so milliseconds), thats long enough for you to pick up a slight break between tracks. The newer versions of lame have a gapless option which fills these blank samples with the real audio...

hehe...you dont have to do an awful lot to get reported for "driving without due care and attention" - theres no way in hell theyd get me for that ;), but as it turns out spending £160 on the course was cheaper than spending £135/hour on my solicitor.... (Plus you get a free pen & highway...

TwoSugars. Its a quiz and not a test, they said to us "quiz tomorrow morning" but they refused to answer any questions about it being a pass fail, but the word quiz implies fun! It was stuff like, "what sequence do traffic lights go at a pedestrian crossing", "whats the outside lane for on a...

Been there. Done it, no problem. prepare for lots of boy racers! Theyll talk loads of crap about how you should be looking out for people 3 cars back ("Its ok officer, when I hit the car infront I was looking 3 cars back to check that they wernt going to have an accident"). Like dave said...

you need to listen to them! Ive had some infinity 505cs and hated them (Quite harsh to my ears), other people seem to get on ok with them though - if I were you Id go somewhere where they have a them plumbed in so you can get an "idea" of what theyll sound like, probably sound totally different...

Hello! (thank god ive got broadband!) ;) your reflection in the rear panel of the car made me think about tea pots and ebay.....

damn, and top gears finished so we cant send the picture in for most ridiculous exhaust..... Adrian

Thanks Neil & blink. Unless Im looking at the wrong grommit, I dont need to pull the carpet back, the grommit Im looking at is fairly high up on the passenger side, this is as far as actually getting the cable through, I may well have to pull the carpet back to feed it through the car.... A...

Cool. After reading various threads on here Im left just a little confused about the whole grommit/release cable operation. What I really want to know is, do you pull the grommit into the car? (I read one thread where the guy pushed it out of the car and behind, but could never get it back...

Dont suppose anybody has got any pictures of how to run the power cable for an amp through the bulkhead of a 172. Finally getting round to installing my stuff but it looks a right pain to get that cable through. I think Ive found the grommit (oval thing, inch or so wide, couple of inches...

...dunno about the HU, but MP3s arent inherently gapless, theres a kludge in lame which allows it to encode gapless but there that introduces a whole load of other funnies....and its still down to the decoder as to whether itll accept them.... ..My HU (which is not in my car at the moment) has...

...snap dave182. I have an ipaq 2210 with tomtom. I have the emtac bluetooth gps signal because I too was worried about the coating on the screen, but it doesnt actually seem to cause any problems. The greatest things about pocketpc+gps is that theyre mobile so you can swap between cars...

I think people get confused between people wanting to "disable" or "turn off" the automatic wipers, the situtation is: You can turn off the wipers by putting them to the top position. You cannot disable the automatic wipers like the automatic headlights, you can only turn them off. This is...

..Ive never had a problem with feltwells. Where abouts you from tom? Adrian (EDIT: Doh, just read the bit after your name!)

Im amazed by this, given the amount of clios I see everyday I didnt expect to find 3 other people on the board from my neck of the woods! Ill have to keep an eye out for a williams in fenstanton (Im from hilton!). Have you tried feltwells at brampton? Adrian
