I do think you may be going a bit far changing the PAS pump and injectors if they show no faults. In my opinion you'd be best off throwing a couple of hundred quid at things like lower arm bushes and possibly ball joints/track rod ends which after 10 years would probably make more of a...

You could have a £1500 example and a £3000 example next to each other. The £3000 example could be a better buy due to conprehensive service history and the correct jobs being carried out recently. Or the £1500 car could be a corker, and 'under priced' next to a low mileage £3k 'shitter' priced...

It won't hinder the performance or drive ability of your vehicle so if you need to use it without one fitted, then only issue you may notice is the fuel leak in a front end smash. I wouldn't let it put me off a journey, but replace when you have sourced the bits. I've a spare guard and bolts...

Cheddar is good for a gathering and moving on to a pub after some B roads, but you need to avoid dates when a million owners clubs gather in memory of something.

I pressed no earlier and then suddenly realised I shouldn't have. I also couldn't find anywhere to change my decision once the pop up had gone. Must be something somewhere for those occasions where you find yourself with say 12% and want it to standby for a few hours until a charging point? Wait...

I like iOS 9. Particularly opening a text whilst doing something and then returning back to it by clicking the top left opposed to home button and remembering what you were doing. Only issue I have noticed, is that when I go to unlock the phone, the keypad is slow in registering the first...

Combe on a standard track day is fine. Yes you can fall off at quarry or camp, but learn the track and you will be fine. I am yet to grow the balls to do a Combe action day session as it's others around me that I fear, not myself. In fact - when I had my £200 Volvo T5 I was tempted - but that...

I disagree with you. 1st and 2nd are too long. The Xsara VTS gearbox (5 speed, but same engine) is much nicer when mated together IMO. I've that in my 205 GTi6 and it's better than my Rallye. Personal opinion obviously. Just when I drove a Xsara VTS, that and the 2.4 turn 'quick rack' made...

Can't see if you've attached an image or not, but: Clio Sport 1.2 16V is a model, as is Renault Sport Clio Sounds like you are HPI'ing a Clio Sport 1.2 16V which would be correct. Have you seen images of the car to make you intitially think it's a 182 (perhaps a rep as mentioned)

Yeah we are all assuming and going on the little info that OP's love to give us to make our answers as pointless as possible. Although it doesn't take much impact to bend the boot floor on a 'modern' vehicle, and I was basing my assumption on the word Minor. Pull the slam panel back in line so...

Assuming the damage is mainly cosmetic, to the degree a new bumper and possibly book could make the car presentable again - then it's worth the £50 in parts and buying the car back for a couple of hundred quid. Personally, I'd then get some breakdown cover and drive the thing until/if the box...

She scrubs up well.

I'd usually plug the Costco Arcan Ali low entry jacks. But mines packed up so I'm bitter. Whilst it was working it was brilliant. Not as light as you'd expect, and was quite a size - but a few pumps and you were up. Ideal for track days.

To keep it simple - you want to avoid a steel framed seat like that. Your Monoco Pro's etc will all still be uncomfortable - although FIA approved. You'll be better off with a fibreglass framed seat. Consider the size also. You want to really sit in some before you order so you know they will...

On a related note, do you have a cage fitted? I'd strongly advise a roll cage if you are going to strap yourself in a rigid position with harnesses.

You may as well fit a pair of farmhouse pine dining chairs. Try a few out and get something comfortable. Steel framed seats are ok if you don't want to do more than about 2 miles.

Real or not - that style of wheel always looks horrific to me.

f**king Chelsea tractors.

Photographers are like detailers these days* *Not all, obviously. But you do see some that have bought a decent camera and thrown together a website portfolio and think they are talented.

Get in to the habit of wiping them off with brake cleaner on some paper towel as you go along before putting them away. EuroCarParts often have Pagid brake cleaner on offer for a shade under £1.50 a can. Even WD40/GT85 or similar will do the job if you have some handy.

Just read through a fair bit of this thread. I notice you mention rust creeping back in the areas it was previously, 3 years after being painted.

The last time a CS owned RB was spotted on 'screen' with a woman in the shot (or was it a male) there was an equal amount of guys trawling the net for the footage. You won't find that on ITV player...

Halfords do a fair range so they may have one on the shelf.

I would personally keep some of the comforts. I've a caged 205 with buckets and harnesses and other than rear seats being removed due to being pointless with a cage over them, I retain my carpet and full dash as the car becomes less pleasurable for fast road jaunts. I had the full carpet and...

Gunmetal.

Do you have imperial sized sockets in your set you can try? An Irwin bolt grip may or (probably) may not fit in the hole. If not suitable for this occasion, certainly worth putting on your Xmas list as when next in a similar position they are worth their weight in gold sat in a drawer ready...

Being a Clio forum, let's take a 2002 172 for example. 13 years old. 13 x 12,000 = 156,000 miles. Your average 172 doesn't often have 156,000 miles. It's a good way of sellers making a car sound less used than it has been, especially for a several year old car that's done a lot of miles in...

That was very much an Autotrader rule of thumb back in '85.

You have nicer kitchen units in your garage, than I have in my HOUSE.
