I imagine it's some kind of film you put over the headlights. Edit: yep mesh weirdness.

I wonder if it's fast?

I can't see why anyone gives a sh*t what people think of their car, I just tell people I have an old 2.0L Clio when they ask, no one's going to be impressed by a Clio regardless of how good it is so I don't bother trying to explain, 'but it's a fast one and handles really well so it's no just...

It's special alright, special f*cking needs.

I know what you mean, i've had so many good memories in my car, it's been very reliable on the whole and has mods i'm happy with so I wouldn't want to get rid of it either, plus if the engine blew up i've got a whole forum of mates that would help me drop in a replacement so i'd only really have...

I'd say if the cost of dropping another engine in is the same or more than buying another 1*2, it might just be worth cutting your losses and getting another car, at least you can get a few hundred quid back selling the Cup, even with a buggered engine. If you can pick another cheap engine up...

What's massive oil consumption though, have you changed the oil and checked how much came out?

You can use 0W/40, 5W/40 & 10W/40, mixing any of those will be fine, If for example you've got some 5W30 then the viscosity will be different which isn't a good idea.

What issue, because that's the battery bracket that stops it from moving about. Is it the fact you can't get to it because the other bolt's in the way?

Or lack of, but there is something addictive about a raw little car that feels like it's going to drive itself apart, Ron will come back too, just a matter of time.

I wonder how long it'll be before you miss French tin cans and buy a cheap 1*2 as a track slag?

I take it trying to adapt it to take an ipod isn't easy?

Nice, proper high spec car.

Is that a working phone you can plug your sim card into?

That's a weird numberplate.

Tbh if something catastrophic happened to the dog kennel i'd probably get a sub £1000 T5 estate, plenty of room for the dog and an engine you can get power from without spending a fortune, plus I could park it anywhere and not give a f*ck if it got keyed or dented.

That's good then, the interior's mint looks like comfortable place to be.

Lets just hope she doesn't come home after her first day using it for work and go mental at you for buying her a car she can't park. lol

You've done a good job on that, but in terms of her parking it, is it not essentially the same length as an estate?

Just f*cking wow! Looks like jewellery.

Fair enough, if you've had you're fun out of then it's served it's purpose.

Be on the look out for a Cmax and an estate in the supermarket carpark and point them out to her, let her figure out she'll essentially be driving a big f*cking minibus.

They're the same length as an estate. lol

Make her drive a Merc Sprinter for a month then put her in an estate, she'll think it's a hatchback.

You're mad to sell that, if it was mine it would feel like I was giving away a puppy.

I'm on my second gearbox after the first one shredded itself at 70mph, I learnt the hard way to check the box oil every now and again, it had all leaked out the selector shaft seal, the replacement leaks too but gets topped up every couple of months, thankfully the engine's as strong as an Ox.

Some of them are like that, some of them run for years with nothing but an oil change, depends what mood Frenchy was in when he made it.

Every bolt on a Clio is a b*stard, I haven't worked on my car without cutting my skin or generally hurting myself yet.

Yes

Nice g-unit tints, are you going to fit blue strobes in the grill and scare the sh*t out of people in your way?
