Police didn't want to know. I discovered what had happened a couple of days later, so there wasn't much they could do. If I wanted to take it further, I'd have to contact my insurance and claim-as I wanted to sell the car and didn't want to risk having a no fault claim on my policy, I bit the...

The falcon wing doors are for the rear, how do you get in the front when it's parked close to other cars like in the video?

Very true, my old Audii TT permanently had issues! It's a cheap car as long as you factor in repairs.

Many 197's kangaroo when cold unless you get it remapped, I hated ours when it did it. The 200 was better. Both cars needed bottom ball joints, and engine/gearbox mounts, one had a new gearbox and a cracked manifold repaired. The cup had Recaros which wore fast as did the peeling steering...

Well, I haven't 100% decided on a Civic yet!! My ST is going and I need a car I can comfortably get 3 adults in for car sharing to work. I also don't want to spend more than £3000. My wife sold her ST (did 2000 miles a year but was worried about the car being stolen or car jacked-eventually she...

Did a renewal for my Fiesta and it's £270, re-did the one for a Civic with 9000 miles pa instead of 12000 and 9 years NCB (had put 8 for some reason) get quotes for £274 now!

That's mad! A Clio 182 and a Fiesta ST are less of a risk than a Civic? Is that because most Civic owners have a trilby and a box of tissues on the parcel shelf :grinning: ?

What going on with car Insurance? My wife and I are both 49, driving for over 30 years, full NCB, clean licence etc. Wife has gone form a new Fiesta ST2 to a Clio 182, £208 per annum (Fiesta was about £240) I have a new Fiesta ST2 and pay about £262 (Insured for 12000 miles per annum). I'm...

Silver.

Any update?

Getting 40mpg out of my Fiesta ST2, but miss the Clio sports (had 5 in total!). Wife has an Audi TT at the moment, but said a couple of weeks ago, she wants an inferno 182!

I use a Fluke 75, I assumed nobody would be using an old AVO!

If you're handy with a multi meter, I have the pin out for the airbag ecu plug. Basically, you check 2 wires at a time (from memory, they are opposite each other on the plug) and you should get approx 3 ohms on all airbags/pre tensioners. Side impact sensors are several mega ohms. I did my...

Try this guy http://www.seanedwardsrenaultspecialist.co.uk/ He looked after my old RS200 when I sold it to my son.

😞 Thanks for finding out and letting me know. Cheers Ian

Thanks Ron.

Do I have to buy a ticket for my 10 year old and can I take him on a track session? Ta Ian

Just done one of mine, it had 4 holes (just done step sons 1.2 and that had 2 holes). About £35 quid from euro car parts.

Lol! I don't blame you!

Yeah, fair enough for being liable for the damage, but it's proving who's at fault without evidence. If it was me, I'd be right pxxsed off, but more concerned about the points on my licence.

Thanks for the positive reply, trying to help this guy out! If there's no CCTV, no reliable witnesses, and it's not on the queen's highway, surely an offence hasn't been committed as far as the police are concerned?? So no points or court appearance??

I thought if it was a private car park, it was knock for knock??

Did you put the spacer behind the hub back on correctly?

May sound an odd question, but what state is your battery in? My son's clio had a flat battery and after being charged it did the same, need a reset (can't find the thread at the moment, but is something like ign on, off, lock doors with keyfob, open doors and start car????)

My 20 year old step son had a Clio 1.2, he bought my old RS200 cup and was shocked when he had to pay £200 to get it serviced as I was pxxsed off with maintaining his cars while he sat on his Xbox! I bought his 1.2 off him for my 18 year old step son (when he passes his test, 4 attempts so far}...

It was £500 this morning when we saw it, gone up a bit more since then!

Track rod ends. inner tie rods, steering rack bushes (caused my steering wheel to be a few degrees out, then a bump later it was ok!), worn tyres, broken spring (made a massive different to my cars steering)???

I had 2 headlamp bulbs go on an Alfa 156 within 2 days of each other! Get your wife/girlfriend to swap the lamps over-small hands!!

You'll have a spare when one breaks down!
