    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    it appears the ones who know the least, get the most views from what I can see. And some of them are making some serious coin while doing it, unreal! I thought this was an interesting watch, and I can only imagine how profitable it can be when your driving other peoples cars!

    ## WARNING ## @ BLOKE

    while he may not owe an explanation to anyone other than the guy who's car it was, surely if his business is something he enjoys/appreciates it would be worth working with the customer to find a resolution that works for him and customer, of course he's not going to turn round and say ok your...

    LBTurbo, HBTurbo, Supercharger....Change from NA feel?

    I would leave it standard, the appeal of these cars is they are cheap fun. When you buy one, boost it, fix it you are now at Mégane 250 money or more for somthing that's not as good!

    ## WARNING ## @ BLOKE

    theres 2 types of self employed people in my experience, Those who cam run a business and those who are too hopeless to work for a business, so choose to work for themselves. the 2nd lot always ends in fireworks.

    Can I make my ph2 1.2 16v clio more fun?

    I had one when I was 17 about 15yrs ago, fitted a decat, exhaust, modified the airbox, custom filter, hunners of octaine booster and fancy oils and it run about 82hp, not worth chasing power with them obviously. Sort the chassis: Suspension, brakes and tyres and get weight out it and enjoy it...

    1.2 Turbo

    doddle mate, just throw it on! open bonnet, mount it where ever there is space, run a power cable to it, instant +50hp! more people should do it tbh

    Clio 1.2 16v Poor fuel economy

    Re visit the thermostat, it should be holding s consistent temp, is it the correct thermostat? Is there any air pockets in the cooling system?

    Kangoo DCi engines

    Yep all MK2 kangoos if they are a 5 speed are jr5 as far as I'm aware, until the latest ones which are now all 6 speed They revise the engine that often it's worth trying to find one from a similar age and model of van to save any headaches

    View out of rear window (Clio IV)

    I remember the first time I drove one I noticed how poor the rear visability was, 2 weeks in and I had forgot all about it and I think I done 30k over 3 years in them with no issues

    OEM Front speaker differences

    sorry its years since ive played with aftermarket stuff, I used to use Pioneer as I had a large Pioneer car audio dealer near me and the stuff was very good but it was years ago and ive never tried any other brands so would be wrong for me to say just buy Pioneer lol

    Insurance for multiple cars

    find an insurance company that mirrors your ncb say you have 10yrs, then at the end of the policy you get proof of no claims for 11yrs, now you have ncb for separate cars/policies that you can use with other companies, that's what I done and now have 3x cars on 3 policies with 15yrs ncb on each.

    OEM Front speaker differences

    im not a fan of aftermarket unless you are replacing the head unit or amping them over the years they were produced there seems to be about 10x different versions of speakers, small magnets, large magnets and a few different variances inbetween, the ones I posted above seem to be the best of...

    cool idea with the different years of cars but is it just me that thinks the weird lesbo story line takes the attention away from the car 😂 welcome to f**king 2019

    Clio rs edc - LSD options?

    I found them night and day both dry and wet, more grip, keener to turn in, rear end was more playful due to the stronger front end bite on turn in, less road noise, was tempted to remove the rear SS and replace them with PS4 too
