Personally, Id go with HD cleanse, as it smells good.

Thought insurance was ment to be slightly cheaper each year as you built up NCD. Second year in a row where its gone up. For me Wtf. Guessing its VAT?

Just got my car back from having a brand new gearbox fitted. When I accelerate in 1st gear there's a grinding noise and feeling, as though the gear isn't engaged properly. This only happens under full throttle. Do I let it run in properly or take it back in again.

Hope people find this of use, and I hope JD and Gally, The jew and others comment on this and add in their opinons to help others out. Seems to be a very common question. I hope I dont get flamed for this. Ill only add opinons on the cleaners Ive personally used. I either use very powerful...

What did you make of P1? Does it compare in any way to Power Finish? <3

I have a feeling my new gearbox will be coming from france on a back order. What sort of time frame will I be looking at?

OK so with all these claims knocking about ragarding 30,000 mile durability id be interested to know the truth on durability. Nanolex, Rain Racer, Rain X, G3 etc. Personally, I use Rain Racer. Its what was kicking around in my girlfriends dad's garage and he uses it on his own cars. So, about...

So after youve clayed, or even fully machine polished and wiped down with IPA, people use a product which pulls yet more dirt from the paintwork. Cant remember what it was, im sure it was Prima Amigo though. If my mate wafts some money under my nose I might machine his 1 series, but once I...

In the process of sorting a lot of my cars faults out at the moment. Long read sorry, could really use some ideas as to whats wrong. Car is on H&R coiloversas low as it will go and has 20mm spacers on all 4 wheels. Knocking from Brakes? When I stop (its usually after ive left it for more than 5...

Had some H&R Monotube coilovers fitted about 10,000 miles ago. I wondered if, apart from yearly allignments, there was anything I should check on, or have done to them...? Do they even need maintaining? Its only a road car.

Wondering what its like? Not thinking of buying any but it just appears to be like nanolex/aquartz.

Had mine fitted today and I'm not sure if it will matter or not but which way does the adjuster need to be facing? Front bumper or rear bumper?

So I manned up and had my spacers and camber bolts fitted this morning. Tomorrow im having it setup on a hunter system and I was thikning, apart from camber (as im having that as -1.5 each wheel), should I set up the other things (Toe, caster etc) to the same settings on a clio 200. I mean why...

Cars slammed, wondering if the gearbox could have become damaged from hitting speedbumps. Or am I being a prize r****d because the sump guard protects it?? Goot the old beast booked in at Renault for warranty work and itll be £270 just to strip the bugger down if its not covered by warranty...

The good one. Like in the MK2 you had poverty spec CD [player and then the cabasse one which iirc, had a better wattage too. Wondered if the upper class unit found in the MK3 (part of the bluetooth and reach adjustable steering column pack iirc) included DAB digital radio. Want to buy a new...

What is the best product to remove marks on vynal bumper strips. Theres some 476s on my strips form when I first got the car and needed to seal it up quickly. Wondering what the most effective way to remove it would be so i can clean them up and seal them with trim stuff. Ive not got super...

Do you measure tyre pressures hot or cold. I had 32.5 psi cold in the other day. Want to add another .5psi in the tyres, and today after having a few traffic light GP's, and racing across carparks deciding I actually need NOS (the big can iirc), im reading 36psi or so. Wondering what you do...

Hi. A friend gets his new 130 in about 2 days and wants rid of the run flats already on the car. Hes been asking my opinion on Hankook V12's since ive had them fitted 2 weeks ago, but I cant give an honest opinion as im still playing with tyre pressures, havent had my car setup yet and the...

Hai. I wondered what your opinion on the pair mixed together are. I applied it on a company car about 3 months ago, its only been washed about 3 times since. Even so I washed it the other day and it still sheets wonderfully and beads very well considering its a sealant. Just wanted your 2p on...

Hi. After a bit of advice really. My gearbox crunches into 3rd quite a bit even when I'm not rushing the synchros. I want to take it into Renault evens hellshite where I got it from and get it sorted. But my cars been put on coilovers, do you think they will not replace under warranty? Its got...

Hi. So ive got a laptop to sort out, infected with SmartEngine. Did a bit of Googling last night to try remove the offending piece of software but it doesnt seem as straight forward as the guides on tinternet, certain processes do and dont exist, tried removing it manually, wont, Spybot S&D...

Basically, Ive done 14,000 miles in the GT now and I was beginning to wonder at what point the TL4 box needs to be replaced. What with them being made from plastic and all.

Just for the fronts to accomodate 5mm spacers? SRB Power quoted me £40 (for what, 8 bolts?) Which makes all the difference with some H&R Camber bolts and H&R Spacers.

Oh hai. Ordering some 5mm spacers & camber bolts as soon as I get an answer to this question. I need longer bolts (Want longer bolts), will the bolts that are in my wheel right now be exactly the same as the ones that are in my locking wheel nut box? - I need to take measurements. /saves...

Had new tyres fitted thursday and I think I've done about 50 miles on them since. Starting to push them to see what they can do, but they seem very slippy at the moment, car even seems to over steer with little effort. How long am I looking at to get them run in?

I need to measure the bolt on my suspension doobry so i can fit camber bolts. This picture shows the one I mean. There is/was a PDF about the exact measurements needed to take so i could order the correct ones (There are 3 diffrerent ones iirc) but I cant seem to find it now. Could...

I do play it, single player. I go online to troll mainly. I dont play it that often. But check this out...listen to the commentary. Im not sure i want to be associated with this game anymore..........most recent video. http://www.youtube.com/user/Coestar

As title really. Went on the site searching for some V12's, came up, they rekon V12's are £280 ish for 4, which is good i guess, camskill were a little cheaper, then its a case of locate centre. And they list most of my well known local garages. Some of my local garages have been quoting me £120...

:(:o Sorry for yet another properly retarded post. Im no expert on tyres. Been speaking to a few people, and they say the move from (yes i know its 10mm ffs) 195 50 16 to 205 45 16 will result in tyre sway, annoying, noticable sway. Also, any issue of tyres rubbing arches, anything else i...

Asking on behalf of my grandparents. They have a new merc C280 which obviously is RWD. Currently have Contisports on the car. Over the snowy period they spent about 2 weeks inside the house. Because of where they live, up a hill, they cannot get back up the drive. Do Winter tyres make that much...
