s**t like the above from the manufacturers just annoys me. I appreciate that there is no such thing as a mechanically perfect car - but manifolds are rarely an issue on a 1*2, so why on the newer models? Likewise - the gearbox. Come on Renault - under your own marketing juggernaut, a...

My usual response here..... are there any receipts to show when the last gearbox oil change was done? It transformed mine from a spoon in porridge to actually feeling nice to use. Welcome aboard, btw! :up:

Only downloaded the cars under 'A' so far on that list - and that's taken 3.2GB. This may take some time. :wink:

Cheers guys - yep, very fortunate! Maybe I should learn some co-driving skills in order to get back in there more often? :smile: Shelley's turn was a 'bit' more vocal than mine! :tongueout:

Gus was saying that on gravel, they are capable of 0-60 in around 3.5secs. On tarmac, that’s down towards 3secs. Launch control was pretty epic - a shame that the footage doesn’t really reflect that. :neutral:

And my passenger ride. Despite being 6"1' tall, the co-driver seat is mounted so low in the chassis, that I barely saw out and above the dash. I kept quiet - trying to absorb and really appreciate everything that was going on, and also to allow Gus to concentrate. Not that I probably would have...

Dead pheasant splatter! Couple of small clips recorded with my phone. Cameraman of The Year I most certainly am not! The sound really has to be heard for such a little 1.6litre...

Shelley and I were lucky enough to get an invite from our nephew Gus Greensmith to have a passenger ride in a Fiesta R5. We got up to the Greystoke area early yesterday and was presented with a very focused M-Sport setup, consisting of Gus's car and another - along with engineers, mechanics and...

Good find! :cool:

I’ve got blueprints containing components that I’ve yet to come across. I’m at a bit of a dead end at the minute without much in the way of story leads. The Degasi one just seemed to dry up - unless I’m missing something? Strange how overtime you recall a mental map of where familiar scenery...

Ph.1 172 in silver - X433 CUJ at Cheesefest at Bowlers yesterday afternoon.

Wish I could have the skill and money to build stuff like this!

Got the Cyclops sub built last night. A fair size difference between it and the Seamoth below!

What is this foolery that you speak of? Two Spirit R's?! I take it one was the that at £30k that they made the video of alongside the R34 V-Spec II nur? The bloke in that video hit the nail on the head - there was so much choice back then. Traditional inline-4. Flat-4. Straight six. V6...

Is this similar/same spec to yours, mate? https://torque-gt.co.uk/car/subaru-impreza-ra-spec-c/

959? Just about my favourite car of all time! :cool:

If you ever get around to getting a quick rack, can you make me an offer for the OEM one off this? I'm after getting one that I can get refurbed and then fitted to mine. It creaks and groans like a b*****d when the weather gets warm. Fine for now though.

Only just started building habitats today. Got the moonpool up, scanner room and a multipurpose one. Got the battery chargers up, large storage cabinet, vehicle upgrade and the modification station. I like how you can dock the Prawn or Seamoth and they can be charging while you’re away. Just...

Off a sea-cliff...... it didn't end well. :wink:

Got it - actually installed too from a recent Humble Bundle offering. I've heard some good stuff about it, but have yet to play it.

King of Fighters 2002 free on GOG. Old-school 2D fighting game.... https://www.gog.com/game/the_king_of_fighters_2002

That retrimmed steering wheel looks great. I’d love to get mine done!

The original Dead Space is free on Origin at the minute.

Lol - you're SO far ahead of me! :smile:

It does surprise me at how poor the whole driveshaft and CV boot path has been designed and manufactured. We've all suffered from split CV boots, boots coming off, grease flicked and splattered about on alloys, engine components, even disc brakes. The 182 is the only car I've ever owned where...

Excellent - definitely one of the better looked-after cars on here! Might be worth looking at the state of the underseal if you can get it in the air too. If it's not been redone - 13 years is lot to cope with on the UK salt-based roads. I had mine redone about two years ago when a couple of...

I've never really understood Apple's attitude to volume. You can set your volume quite low then click on a link that takes you to YouTube for example, that then proceeds to almost blow the speaker apart. Surely whatever you set your phone's volume to - should be the same level across every app...

Good link Steve - @NaplesValver one of the images in that thread shows the actual peg I'm on about.

No worries - I hope that fixes it! I've hijacked an image off here from years back and drawn an arrow to roughly the location of the fixing peg. It's from memory, so I might be a little out - but if you look in the cavity of where the wiper mechanism is, you can't miss the peg.

There's a small chance that your wiper mechanism isn't lined up properly. I had this a while back. The coverage of the screen with the blades was fine, but the motion of the wipers was noisy. New blades didn't fix it and I remembered that I had taken the wiper mechanism out a while before to...
