Re: My car is fcuked!!! I remember my brother had a similar problem in his Fiat a few years back, driving along, then the engine died and just wouldn't start. It turned out the cambelt had snapped. Fortunately, no damage was done to the valve train or pistons.

There's a fair few of us around Pompey and ScumTown. No all of those are on CS though. :dapprove:

Leave it on for the road. Turn it off for the track. Simple. :) It's saved my sweet little ass on a couple of occassions!

Yeah I do don't I? As for Ipswich!! :eek: How did you know? ;)

Ha ha! Yes that was me! Spotted in my own village - bonus! :D

No problem matey. Mine's been ripped off so many times by things like stray pheasants, kerbs etc, that you get used to screwing them in all the time. I'm just glad I didn't get the wrong end of the stick by mis-reading your post! P.S. You might want to drill some tiny pilot holes for the...

Can't you just claim on your insurance? Surely that's what you have insurance for? :S

On Saturday. It was a BookaTrack day. There were 2 172 Cups, one of which was out on track, a red V6 also turned up, drove around then left. There was also a Williams being loaded back onto a trailer after the owner had bent the front end after some sort of off - damned shame!

Post a pic of the splitter matey, as it sounds to me like you're assuming the screws under the front of the bumper hold the splitter on, when in actual fact they hold the undertray in place. The splitter has it's own self-tapping screws that screw directly in to the bumper. I just hope I've not...

I've just read this and I have to agree with Roy. Clios handle just fine in the wet, very well in fact. They'll only spin if you do silly things. I don't think it was ABS that saved you, more likely to have been your ESP, as that corrects spins, lift-off oversteer and other moments of...

Looking good fella. I like the black on red theme. Don't go OTT on it though - otherwise you'll look like a giant ladybird! ;)

What colour was it? It may have been me, as I was in Pompey that day. :D

A move to the dark side you have made mmmm............ ;)

Thank you very much kind sir. Just what I needed to know! :D :star:

Right. 2 questions: 1) What's the best large volume car shampoo at a reasonable price (we have 4 cars in our household)? 2) Can anyone recommend a good, safe alloy wheel cleaner? If the products recommended are a touch obscure, links for sites selling them would also be appreciated...

Because they would "flicker" when you turn them on, and they give a bluish/white light that is unmistakeable.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the Clio (Phase 2 anyway) has a torsion bar - hence the rear springs. Like everyone said, fairly striaght forward, especially the rears. I'd agree with Fubar that you'd be looking at an hours labour, which isn't too bad if you can't be arsed to do it...

Re: Cliosport Calender 2007 Here's some of mine: [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] [/URL][/IMG] For some reason I don't know how to post piccys from my putfile account properly in here, so I've got those annoying IMG things all over the place! :rolleyes:

That looks really good. It's nice to have something like that to look back on in years to come, when the cars been and gone etc, and think: WOW - that was my car! :D

Oops double post!
