^^^ We've had sooooo many burglaries in North Hampshire where gangs of car thieves are coming into Hampshire from Reading. They steal the cars, put them on false plates and use them to commit far more serious crimes, such as armed robberies. They typically choose more high performance vehicles...

I did see a 172 Cup in Reading today, but it was going the other way so couldn't see the reg, and anyhow the driver waved, so I don't reckon it would be yours.

I'm off to Reading this morning, so I'll keep an eye out for it.

It's not just traction control - it's ESP. If you ever get into difficulty in adverse conditions, or for example, have to swerve out the way of something whilst braking, it's a lifesaver.

In fairness, if the dog is on a M-way, it's clearly not under proper control (assuming it's not a stray), in which case the owners are liable. I hit a dog many moons ago and had substantial damage to that car I had at the time. I was gutted for the pooch, but the owners payed up to repair the...

The company that calibrates the speedos in our works BMWs are based in Nottingham, but I doubt that they would be cheap.

Underneath the car above each of the rear silencers.

Yeah I think its a fairly common problem. Mine used to rattle at around 4k as it was coming loose. Mike @ RenTech sorted it for me though. Rather than replace it, could you not pop some large penny washers on the fixing screws to hold it in place and stop it rattling around?

^^^Thanks. I did that reversing and scraped a kerb. That got sorted last year, but then I bumped the car early this month and I'm just itching to get it back!

My RB at the 'Ring - It's been at the bodyshop for nearly 2 weeks now and I'm getting withdrawal - I can't take that horrid 1.2 Corsa much longer! :mad:

Sorry Day, you've lost me there :S I just nipped in for a splash and dash in the courtesy car as it's supposed to be going back today.

Stopped at the petrol station this evening. I was in the rubbish Corsa :)

Its being repaired after a little shunt I had in Winchester :(

Yes mate. I should be there if the 182 is back from the bodyshop in time!

Ahh, you mean a Hot Fuzz style maneovure??? ;)

I think the current owner has had the Superleggeras refurbed in anthracite.

I had the Greenstuffs with Brembo HC discs and managed a couple of trackdays without any dramas - better then OEM IMHO. I'm running same discs (although they've been replaced) and Redstuff pads now. I'd say these are much better then the greenstuffs - far lest dust and no brake fade, although...

The owner of that V6 has been at a few Pistonheads meets - I have to say it's one of the nicest V6s I've seen.

It was going the other way :(

This afternoon driving through Selbourne from Alton. I was in the Ford Focus with "Police" on it ;) I must say it looked like a very nice example. :cool:

Yeah the car has finally gone in for repairs! I have to say that Corsa is NOT something I either like or would normally be seen dead in - it's a truly hateful car!

When I drove to the 'Ring, we just stuck bits of electrical tape on strategic points on our headlights to stop them blinding "Ze Germans" and those cheese eating surrender monkeys. I wouldn't go to Renault - they'll only charge you a fortune to do the work, then charge you again when you come home.

Spotted you this afternoon! I was following you up the ring road and on to the A33 towards Chineham. I was in the Corsa behind you. :D

No idea I'm afraid. As I said, I had it done under warranty so I never found out how much they cost.

A bit of a thread hijack, but it's on the LHS of the dashboard, accessed by opening the passenger side door.

Is it still under warranty? If so, throw it back at the dealers.

It's a sensor under the brake pedal. I had mine replaced twice under warranty.

I used to have discs like that on my old 306 XSi - they were called ATE Power Discs, from Euro Car Parts. Good effort though :)

It would be interesting to see if, when you have a bike carrier on, if you can still open the tailgate fully without it hitting the bike carrier. On my 182, I have the Renault bars with a Thule Velovise carrier. If I don't move the front bar as far forward as possible, the tailgate won't open...
