Surely the MoT place don't even bother looking at your cars and just hand you a pass with no advisories? ;)

Wow, that's value. £90 new on Amazon, very tempted. How have you mounted it? Looks like it has a fairly standard tripod connector?

Wise words mate, I almost always get tuition because even if it's a track I know well there's always something else to tweak and the better instructors take where you are and work onwards from there. Got to agree with you about the cost of the car, I've never chucked anything around as much as...

It also helps if you can drive, @loggyboy clearly can, me not so much :D

I’m in two minds about this one TBH. My opinion is probably somewhat coloured by the fact I’ve only been there once and overall it was a lousy day due to the track being greasy as hell and staying that way most of the day and also some of the worst driving I’ve ever seen. Firstly, Silverstone...

Got a link?

Some people be daft. A definite problem vs an unknown chance that the dealer might make an error when taking the head off, I know which one I'd go for.

Try A-Plan too, I got a policy on the M3 including five trackdays and the trackday cover came in at something like £35 a day assuming you use them all. Greenlight tend to be *very* competitive for Clios though so it'll be down to how the sums work out. Their Thatcham office covers the high...

They’re good, the wife used to have one, lots of fun to drive, not very fast but perky enough. IIRC the pricing didn’t make a lot of sense when they were new, but used is a different story. Personally I think they’re generally a bit underrated, although obviously they’re no RS.

I bloody miss that car, it's a proper credit to you just how far it's come @mossyv6

I've a horrible feeling there's another one lurking in my future, a light, revvy little hooligan hot hatch just seems to be the sweet spot for the way I like to drive. I'm going to give a rented Caterham a track outing at some point this year, so maybe that'll turn my head :D

It does sound like it could well be the HG if you've got mayo under the oil cap and you're losing oil and coolant. However, you could just as easily have mayo under there if you're only doing short journeys (with the car running like crap) and be losing the oil and coolant through leaks...

Yes, after a few laps your tyres will be at much too high a pressure which will give you less grip. Optimal hot track temperature varies so some experimentation will be needed. Depending on the tyre manufacturer they may be able to give you the recommended hot pressure, Michelin do for certain...

The other thing the R53 has in it's favour is it's relatively easy to find one with a LSD because it was a factory-fit option, and they don't command much of a premium. They certainly need it when you've turned the wick up a bit ;) But as others have said, there's a lot to be said for a Clio as...

Christ, what a joke. It's paint! How much would a respray in LY cost - nowhere near the premium they're asking for the car. I know it's a more complex process than the standard paint, but still......

I know it's bad, but I hardly ever use the booby traps or mines..... Too much fun to shoot people. It is a very different feeling game, I think you have more options. Stealth is still important but if you want to go a bit "all guns blazing" you can do that much more easily than in SE3. Just...

No issues at all with iOS 11 on my SE or 6S. It’s sluggish on the 5S.... but seriously, there are limits :)

Stick resistors in 'em to prevent the warning light coming on, tuck them away in the boss, job's a goodun. Can't remember the resistor values but a quick search on here should turn up the values.

Far and away better than SE3, just completed the first mission and I'm loving it.

Sounds right up my street

Oh, go on then, arm twisted, etc. The engine looks awesome - big step forward from 3. 5 hour 30 minute download on my crappy internet connection though...... <sigh>

Still, you have to admit, it does sound *kinda* interesting :D

Stop it, this way lies madness :D

@Darren S @Gareth Have either of you played Sniper Elite 3 much? If so, how does 4 stack up? I’m currently working my way through 3, it’s very different to my usual style of game but there’s something compelling about it. I do find the “bullet cam” stuff a bit off putting sometimes, which is...

Very nice! I seriously considered one of these before going for the Golf R, the discounts and finance deals BMW do on them are just insane. Engine is an absolute peach. Only reason I’ve not got one is I fancied 4WD this time round.

I really despair at the reporting of this in the media, “people have suspected for years that Apple deliberately slow down old phones with software updates - well it’s true!”. Talk about missing the point completely. Old phones get slower with upgrades because the OS is more complicated and is...

Well, to be fair, without the software update your phone would be shutting down a lot more. The software changes are to avoid as far as possible the scenario you're having, but they can only go so far. They should have been open about it though.

It’s still a useful thing to have, the tester may turn round and try to incorrectly fail it for low rear braking effort even once the binding is sorted out. Hope I didn’t creep you out by checking the fail sheet, it just seemed quicker than asking a bunch of questions and your reg is in your...

Not sure that covers imbalance across the rear axle? It would cover front to rear imbalance i.e. rear brakes putting in little braking effort but if one side of the axle is putting in significantly less effort than the other that's not great and I wouldn't have thought it would be caused by the...

Probably because someone at Autocar is subscribed to your channel, or one of their friends is, and away it goes. Your videos are also unusually calm, clear and informative, so if you were going to pick one to quote it’s a good one. IMO it’s a rather lazy, sorry excuse for journalism but every...
