Don't you mean bottom right? Or left depending on your position inside or outside of the car I guess :)

Hi all What are the rules and regulations concerning the position of a tax disc? I recently bought an aluminium tax disc holder which refuses to stick to my windscreen. Rather than bin it and waste £15, I've applied bluetack (classy stuff) to the back and stuck it to the dash board. It...

If your car was parked in, wrapped, sealed, or whatever the correct term is for using that last example, it would look like a police crime scene investigation is taking place in your drive way. Some chavey little kids could have fun with a penknife though.

This car versus that car is a pointless, but fun argument. Anyone see that episode of Top Gear where that female driver from the Nurburgring thrashed a Ford Transit van around it quicker than all the Ferrari and 911 drivers out on their hot laps. Any driver who can go beyond what us mere...

The sound of that V6 just inches away from your ears must sound like pure poetry. And all that boot space - perfect for carrying a bag of kipper's.

For a minute there I though your new wheels was the carrier with all the cars. Now I get the picture - nice motor that.

lol Yeah, mine was pretty bad. Brakes were life-threatingly poor, sun roof doubled up as a power shower, brakes squeeled like a pig - I was sad when it got nicked - until the insurence company paid out in full. Never ended up in the passenger seat though - I guess you didn't have your seat...

My old Clio Oasis was: Keyed De-wing mirrored And finally stolen

Ultrasonic welded seam with elasticated hem and reinforced side eyelets for supreme security. Nice!

This one on Halfrauds looks alright for the price http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10151&productId=213843&categoryId=31406

I wouln't pay £300 simply because someone else could easily steal it. Why can't people just stop stealing stuff and the world would be a happier place.

Thanks for the link.

Thanks for your opinion; still in two minds but it would keep the paintwork clean and hopefully protect it against stone chips from passing vehicles. What counts as a decent quality one though? Halfrauds do there own make at around £35 quid. Perhaps I should just buy a large tent and park...

Does anyone here use a car cover? I only use my car at the weekends and get fed up with washing, polishing, sealing and waxing on a Sunday only for it to piss down during the week and ruin all my handy work. I don't have a garage to park in and thought about getting a car cover for protection...

Thanks for the info. Think I need one of those 'Pimp My Ride' style remote controlled ride-height gadgets. Should solve all my problems.

Yeah near the lovely Woolwich. Actually there's a Renault dealer in Beckenham which is a little nearer. Might give them a try.

Ah, local-ish then. I'm based in Plumstead, buy I'm sure Orpington is my nearest dealer. Might be wrong.

I know that battery connector's are made of really cheap material on all Renault's and after a while fail to conduct properly. This normally results in three - four failed starts over a period of anything between 2 - 10 minutes, possibly longer before the car will start. My neighbour's Clio is...

Sounds like a bargain - where from ??

I received a quote last week from my local Renault dealer (Orpington) for £150. £90 to have the key cut and £60 to have the chip programmed.

What the difference between springs and coilovers? Are coilovers fully adjustable or something?

Shouldn't the ride height be consistant all round or can you reduce the front and rear by different heights?

I've only got key and really need a backup in case I lose it.

There was a story once about this chap (a Sierra Cosworth owner I think)who was so fed up with people attempting to steal his car that he wired up his battery so that anyone who touched the bodywork got a nasty electric shock. Turn's out some car thief managed to successfully sue him for...

Sunroof (which are a s**t design compared to those installed on the MK1's).

I've been pondering lowering my car for some time now and have finally decided not to on the following grounds: I live in London where the road surface resembles a Baghdad high street after a B52 carpet bombing orgy. Also, the drop in ride height would mean having to let passengers out of the...

I phoned Renault (Orpington) today about the costs of a replacement key. They quoted me £90 to cut the key and £60 to programme it - £150 in total. Hardly the bargain of the century, but needs must.

if you really love your boyfriend then £90 a week in petrol is a small price to pay. Get a better job perhaps?

And you still find time for hoovering?

Since I purchased an uber water-soaking/removal waffle, I find myself popping out after every rainfall to remove the water from my car. My girfriend just laughs.
