You've got facelift xenons. They are bright, but not when covered in flyeye lol.

After much umming & ahhing, this is now for sale: https://www.cliosport.net/threads/audi-rs3-8v-£33-495.811728/#post-11475928 In an ideal world, id probably keep it forever, but in reality, with us also owning the Porsche, TT & R53, there is simply too much cash tied up in it. If it doesn't sell...

@Chrisgti6 I'd say thats the likely cause tbh, the PS pumps are fairly weak at the best of the times, so perhaps the additional stiffness (oo er) of the new one is making it work a little harder!

MOT done. Car is back on the road :cool: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Then on the way home from work the other day, the wheel arch fell off. Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr F*cking Minis 😂

Got invited to open a Coinbase account - if you want to open one, i can send you a link :up: We both get some free money then!

That is unbelievably awesome.

Nah, just manually on Trading212, then purchases via Coinbase. Did you buy before/after the massive drop this afternoon lol

Yeah, they took a bit of a nose dive over the weekend, but a large correction after a steady rise is always expected to be honest. I've currently got the following on Coinbase, bought them all on 22nd August: 1 x Ethereum, bought at £235 5 x Litecoin, bought at £36.84 each 0.002 x Bitcoin, free...

So with the R53 now being back in running order, my short, but enjoyable foray back into Clio ownership ended fairly abruptly yesterday, with a good friend purchasing it to build into a 2118 shod, AST wearing, RS2'd track car over winter. She cleaned up fairly well in the end i think :up...

Pretty sure i was watching this one on Autotrader 😂 Will be good to see how you get on with it!

That spec reads pretty well!! Good purchase.

The £70 one off ebay. I bought mine, then @Budgie bought his.

Yup, i have the same one, has worked brilliantly for years :up:

Ill come along. Will be useful to know that the Mini is (hopefully) 100% healthy again ... will send you some money once its MOTd @TimR26

Please excuse the "singing", i was a tad pleased with myself 😂 Got the engine up to temperature & bled the coolant. Now just need to fix a few little lighting niggles, get it MOT'd/taxed and do another oil change :up:

Is it the actual arm that's broken off, or the sensor? I fixed mine with a sh1t load of ducktape & a cut down Bic Biro:tearsofjoy:

It'll be one of these i imagine (1 or 15): http://www.oemepc.com/vw/part_single/catalog/vw/markt/RDW/modell/GOLF/year/2005/drive_standart/420/hg_ug/907/subcategory/907030/part_id/3708972/lang/e Unsure exactly which one, but if you use your VIN you should get an exact match :up:

Thatll be the xenon adjuster on the passenger front wishbone iirc, its probably snapped/popped out of its balljoint. Dont WBAC it, just drop the price, then some nice bargain hunter like me will buy it !! (I dont want it btw)

His R56 looks to be a monster lol!! Mine was fast enough with 235 bhp, a Manic map would have taken it to 270 or so and that would have been ridiculous, 350 is just for the pub bragging rights 😂 As a road car, the way the R56 delivered the power was far better, low down boost, lots of...

From memory, low to mid 50's. With this setup, its very rare that i ever lose power, well, unless the valve has broken up 😂 Yeah, he's bang on to be honest, for my type of use (or even if you want to drive hard on a warm day), there' s absolutely no point having a 17% unless you...

Urgh, yukky poo water 😂 probably never been changed before then!! Mine was ok when it came out thankfully, rather irritatingly, it had been changed about 400 miles before it broke when the Quaifed gearbox/clutch/SMF was fitted by 1320. Doh! I've got 1.5L of Mini Coolant and 5L of...

Pretty well as it happens! Epic weather = nice weekend of car tinkering :up: Started by getting everything together in some kind of organised chaos: Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Untitled by Sir_Dave, on Flickr Then stared at the engine for a little while...

The car with launch control will win. Admittedly my car is an RS3, but its hilarious.

No idea, i'm just going on what 1320 say "Enough for a full coolant change" - maybe you dilute it with water? I guess ill tell you after the weekend lol.

This. Got fed up having to claim refunds from the courier companies, so stopped posting them out.

I keep thinking that! There is surely no way that people are paying £1200+painting for a wing on a £10k hot hatch?

Yes, hopefully i can get cracking on it properly this weekend! Coolant wise, most of the above is coming from 1320 Mini, so its this stuff: http://www.1320.co.uk/bmw-oem-anti-freeze-coolant think Rich did the rad on mine just before i bought it, fairly common issue them failing - assume yours is...

Parts ordered: 1 x Camshaft bolt, 1 x Head Gasket, 1 x Inlet Manifold Gasket, 1 x Exhaust Manifold Gasket, 1 x OEM BMW Thermostat, 10 x OEM BMW Head Bolts, 1 x Rocker cover gasket, 1.5L Anti Freeze Coolant, 5L Rock Sport 5W40 Oil and a Mahle Oil Filter. Hopefully it'll all arrive for the...

In all the cars i've owned over the years, it only happened in the MK5 Golf's. I quickly learnt to just keep the window closed :tonguewink:

I just dont understand wind deflectors at all, surely on the motorway, you use aircon, & at lower speeds, you want the wind to buffet you a bit. Unless they are purely designed so that you can flick fag ash out the window a little easier?
