Result. Local dealer to work have them in stock. Hermes however remain a pile of steaming turd.

So I bagged a pair of brand new top mount kits (543A09780R) from an eBay seller - genuine part so all good. Delay by Hermes collecting - not ideal but par for the course. And it arrives this morning looking like it's been dropped off a tall building. Then kicked around a bit. Then dropped again...

Or as a mate just put it "don't be a lesbian".

What sort of price would you want?

Not too expensive at around £40 for 4 from Renault and Sod's Law tells me that at least one will snap when they're removed. Question is, am I being paranoid or is replacing all 4 sensible anyway as the shock, spring & top mount are all new too? Also (OK, that's 2 questions!!!) is there a cheaper...

Today was one of those "why the f**k do I bother?" days. Spent 3 hours achieving nothing apart from screwing a 4" wood screw into my hand so washed the daily and fitted some dress up bolts to the slam panel. Dressed the lower grill - tit of a job but at least it looks a bit better. Started to...

Orchard Autocare Wheel Cleanse. Flat out the best I've used yet.

Just Tyres mate. They'll do it for cash usually; use them all the time.

Didn't realise there were this many in Blazingsmoke. Sounds like an excuse for a pub meet sometime :)

Grab the Clas Ohlson sold Cotech DA for under £60 and you can't go wrong. 5 year warranty and it's pretty much identical to a lot of more expensive machines. I only grabbed one as a standby next to my rotary but it's a bloody good little machine :)

Might have been a lady driving. Didn't want to look too closely for fear of looking like a drooling pervert. That and the bloody roadworks they'd thrown in next to B&Q - sharpened up my reactions a bit that did.

On ring road. Tidy looking car.

Just read this from the start mate. Very nice project indeed.

Not much of an update but at long last the Clio now has a house! Spent all of today clearing and storing away half a 205 in parts for selling and she's now snug and dry.

Westmead roundabout just before 4.00. Only caught a glimpse :)

Parked on the (bloody crowded) forecourt at lunchtime today. Rather nice looking car!

No photos but progressing nicely. Second coat of floor paint done so I can get the car into the garage. Van booked for the weekend to take all the accumulated crap to the tip. Parts pile coming on nicely too - so far we have new discs & pads, replacement arch liners to clean and fit, waxoyl to...

Nope - it's just as pictured. I'll find one! I'm on a mission lol.

That's proper nice. Lots of ideas for me to pinch too!

Does anyone have a spare as Renault just quoted me almost £100 for a new one. And that doesn't include any Vaseline.

They were done at Super Duper Garage in Basingstoke. Top lads!

It's nice mate. Works well, smells properly nice but it's very pricey! Luckily I met the man who makes it by accident the other week and he gave me a bottle!

Now that's funny right there :)

I bought the wrong colour. That's all. Enjoyed reading this too - thanks for sharing :)

Shame you're not local chap - could've let you have a sample. Smells like something the wife would use in the shower lol.

No worries chap. "Clio fwends" lol

Other than a wash when I picked her up, I haven't done much since and machine work will happen once the paint's done (OS quarter, bonnet, bumper etc.) Up at silly o'clock today to get the first coat of floor paint done in the garage - it's been home to a scrapyard for 3 years so can't wait for a...

Splitter fitted today and first coat of paint finished on garage floor. Most of the other jobs can wait until the garage is done so I can work in relative comfort. I'm loving this little car. Still loads of jobs but pleased with it so far :)

Looked good mate. Didn't want to hang around and act like a weirdo!

Item number 371601998150 Need a refurb but cheap as chips.
