Never even tried it!
Dirty habit, hate the smell of it.
Mrs mum smokes in the house. Can smell it as soon as they open the door, and always leave stinking of it, it's nasty, one of the worse odours IMO.
Definitely not allowed in the car either! Never allowed anyone to smoke in any of my...
We have updates!
Woke up at 8:30 to leave at 9 for a trip down to Silverlakes scrap yard in Botley, Southampton. (http://www.silverlakeautoparts.co.uk/)
Having been there many a time before, they normally have an abundance of written off VTR's etc, so I thought finding the part I needed would...
Made some progress with the car today!
I jacked it up, and removed the rear wheel to be greeted with this:
Took the carrier off and wound the piston back into the caliper, refitted the pads and carrier and gave it a wire brush down.
From looking at the carrier and pads, there was no...
Sounds like the symptoms of buggered top mounts!
Not sure why no-body else has suggested it.
Maybe I'm being stupid.
Hope that may be of some help to you!
Nor me mate, very strange indeed.
Needless to say, I will be getting her back on the road ASAP!
The pins were there before this happened yes!
The silver spring clips we are on about yeah?

Was half way to dropping the girlfriend off at work, I applied the brakes as I was approaching a junction and there was a huge...
:o Cheers man!
I know the distance is a bit of a bugger!
How's your's coming along mate? Looked awesome in the recent pics you put up. Spurred me on to want to do it again!
No sign whatsoever yet mate!
I know the feeling. Im wanting to get the cars geo setting up, but want to get the mounts...
Thanks very much mate!
Will try to get some proper pictures up soon, show it off a little more :o
Haha great minds and all that ;)
Not sure why I'm looking at Meganes.. They just seem like a nice step up from the Clio.. Bigger, and slightly more powerful with some boost to play with.
We...
Nono I was'nt thinking about P/X'ing with a garage!
I was thinking of looking around for someone that might be wanting to downsize to a Clio from a Megane, with cash their way obviously.
Long shot I know, but its a possibility :)
EDIT: Just as I posted the above, I saw this...
Haha cheers mate!
Nothing on yours though, that is a thing of beauty!
I was thinking flock, but prefer the look of the PH2. We shall see!
Nothing is set in stone atm :approve:
Not sure yet mate.
I was only looking at Megane's to see what kind of price they go for etc.
Would ideally like to P/X with one so I am not without a car, wont be getting rid just yet though :)
I have just recieved this:
Meaning I can now give her a nice service for her 70,000's mile...
Re: Project Ph-OneSevenTwo - ***Bloody Long Update***
Yes!
Brilliant work Rob!
Very much looking forward to seeing the dash complete, how far did you get with it?
