To be fair though, I think if you hit standing water in a straight line and start to aquaplane, the best thing to do is just come off the gas, and not touch anything (steering or brakes), regardless of ESP.
I had the same problem last night too - it kept knocking my cruise control off!
Totally gutted for you matey. My Clio is my baby, and if she ever got damaged like that I don't know what I'd do, but you've just got to look to getting it sorted now.
Like someone has already said, there's a few companies out there who can fix your paint job without repsraying the whole...
I can't stand that website. I don't drive a modded motor, but reading just one sentence on that site is enough to start pi**ing me off. Like someone said earlier, it's just a lack of open-mindedness that verges on the ridiculous. :mad:
Stevo - the other alternative is to vist www.blackcircles.com
You put in your postcode, and they arrange for a local tyre fitter to fit them for you, and quote you the price "all in".
They're fractionally dearer then MyTyres, but they sort out the fitting, so there's less hassle.
Give it a...
I was contemplating one of those after reading about somebody on here who had their 172 cup nicked.
As for all cars in grp 19/20 needing trackers, that's not strictly true. My Mum has a Honda S2000, that's grp 20, but she doesn't need a tracker for the insurance. I think it very much depends on...
If you're going to start talking about Moto GP, then the car equivalent is F1, and they would kill a Moto GP bike around any circuit. While the bikes may corner pretty quick, they can't ever pull any more than 1G of downforce. Cars have aerodynamics, and tyre grip, on their side, which means...
Stef - Why not take your motor down to Mike @ Rentech in Portsmouth for a service? Others on here have only had the nicest things to say about him and his work. :D
Really gutted for you matey. If it helps I'll keep an eye out down on the south coast, and the east midlands (I travel alot between the two). Let us know what the police say/find.
I must admit I was thinking about going for a Focus ST at some point, but just like you, every time I think the Clio is getting a bit boring, it finds a way to remind me why it's so fantastic!!! :cool:
Yeah I agree - far too expensive. I do like it though. There are some really neat touches.
The interior is pretty spartan, but I wonder if that may change slightly before it goes on sale?
I'm not sure I'll trade in the 182 for it yet though - I've got my eye on one of those Focus ST things...
Grrrr........I got so angry I felt like I could have smashed the car up with a sledgehammer!!!!!! :mad:
I see the funny side now though!
I dropped the first one, got pi**sed off, then the next one, and got even more pi**ed off. Then when I went to put the remaining ones back, I dropped...
I was changing my tax disc, and I dropped 3 screws from it, down the air vents! So frustrating, but how do I get them out? Where does the pipe from the screen vents go to? Any suggestions greatly appreciated guys.
Thing is, the new RA Plus only really has the added benefit of being battery powered, but to me that would mean the hassle of turning it on and off every time I got in the car, whereas my cigarette lighter socket does that job for me whenever I turn the key. :D
Yeah I got that letter too! Really annoying thing is, I just paid for my subscriptions, then 2 weeks later I get the upgrade offer letter, and it says that they won't transfer your subscriptions to your new unit, even if they're lifetime! Looks like I'll keep mine for the next 3 years then...
We could have a track day type thing exclusively for members, followed by an evening event. Members could have the option of paying the full price for both parts, or a cheaper ticket enabling them just to attend in the evening. This means those that aren't interested in a track day, still have...
