The buttons in general are all pretty poor, to be honest.

With the Black Gold 182 now with its new owner, I can focus solely on the RB and get the paintwork to a high standard. The car's booked in for work in late January, which was the earliest I could get her in, so I'm going to swap a few interior parts in the interim period. I'm still on the...

If the leak is coming from the door cards, water will be sitting on the door seal, which will overflow and enter the car. Ask me how i know.

Is Nottingham too far a trek? @MicKPM at Diamond Motors is arguably the best Renault specialist in the country. Website - https://www.diamondmotors.co.uk/

Door cards may also have been off at some point and water is getting through that way. If all the above fails, check and reseal the door cards with some Butyl Sealant tape.

And she’s gone!

Those aren’t Turini’s, they’re standard wheels. I’ve got that locking wheel nut key on my Turini’s and standard bolts. I just use a Halfords advance 19mm socket. No issues.

I have the cup offset 38.5 ET Turini's on my 182's with standard nuts.

Welcome! What are you going to do to her?

Yes I know, I was weak. It was a few years ago and there weren't really any competitive alternatives. The contract is up in January and the TIVO is going back, so we'll see how i do then.

VM are becoming hardened to “I’m going to cancel blah blah blah”. I’ve been on their Cable network since it was NTL and they happily cancelled my services after I threatened to leave. I called them back the next day saying I over-reacted 😂 and they reinstated my services. I’m still paying £20...

Tip* I know you've sorted it now, but the quickest way of getting the old rubbers out of the mounts is to pour some acetone (nail varnish) over the old rubber. It melts the glue and it just peels off. No more hacking your fingers or mounts with a blade.

So I finally plucked up the courage to let her go. She's sold, pending collection to another CS member. The plan was to get the belts done, a service and refit the air-con, but my company offered me a stupidly good deal on another car, which will tide me over the winter. It's been a hard...

Honestly I’ve gone from having no wi-fi connectivity upstairs, a buffering TV in the dining room, to full connection all around the house. A techie at work tried to explain what it does, something to do with wi-fi 6, but it’s the best money I’ve spent. I’ve bought the 3-pack - Amazon eero 6+...

I was on their 320 GB deal (Hub 3), which was garbage. I quickly realised their hubs are dogshit. My son has the 1TB set up and he said he's lucky if he gets half that. So I downgraded to the 100MB package (Hub 3), then paid a few hundred quid for 3 x Eero 6 + and built a mesh network. Put the...

My Hub 3 has a permanent red light on as it’s been switched to modem mode. I run the Eero 6 mesh network so the hub 3 is now just a bridge. You could check if it’s gone into Modem Mode by following these instructions.

Can't wait to see what this fetches when it eventually goes up for sale. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

A nice day to give the RB a quick check over, assisted by my grand-daughter, before storing her away for winter. It’s been good to stick a few miles on her and enjoy over the summer, but a new company car means she’ll not see the roads again until spring.

I'm sure @Tomotek has something similar to these on his Race car.

But that’s where a lot of the corrosion is hiding. For a tidy up fair enough, to stop the rot setting in, brackets off.

Hopefully, the last few weekends on the house build, then I can start being a car enthusiast again. I've never done a single race meet this year either.

Lovely little motor 🚙💨

That's good to know fella. He was a Hyundai techie many years ago and very good at what he did. Thank you for the feedback, it's going in at the end of this month.

In two minds about whether to ditch the PMS on the BG. The RB has a Scorpion and is nice and quiet. I'm beyond getting old.

I've got two and the quality is top-notch. The only issue I've had is with one of the rubber mounts that, as stated above, is replaceable with an Audi mount.

Aye just up the road in Barney. They did my race car engine and did a cracking job, but I’m looking to have the car back after a few days, not a few months. I was talking to a techie at our place yesterday and he mentioned Andy Harland (Renault Specialist) in Darlington. Andy worked for us many...

I've got Brembo in the front and rear now. Fairly new too but in the winter they're horrible. But thank you for replying :)

I'm after a decent set of Ferodo pads or similar for my Clio 182 road car. Currently on Brembo (stock equivalent) but they're dangerous when they get wet. I've only used race/track-orientated stuff before like CL6, DS1.1 and Pagid RS42's so not sure what good road-going pads are like. I'm not...

Gutted for you lads but love seeing the car evolving. On a similar note, Cameron managed 2 laps at Donny with his new engine 🙈 The kids had no luck at all this season.
