Me and a friend went to watch my mate compete in a sprint held at Castle Combe, he's always competing in hillclimbs but think he fancied this due to it being so close.
By the time we got their he had already set a record lap then through the day he got quicker and ended up whooping all in his...
Well after my arm aching after hand polishing my Mrs’ 182 the other week I really want a machine polisher, I would be a beginner to machine polishing but may plan on using it quite abit once I’ve mastered the art.
Which/what type should I go for, haven’t really got a budget as such as I will...
A lad i know who lives up my road (not a mate) is soon to be selling his Mrs' car (206 cc), he come upto me in the pub the other night and as he always see's me out doing mine, my Mrs's and my mates he said how much would i want to give the car a good going over, inside and out.

wanting to paint my plenum and will want to remove it to do so, my question is should i replace the gasket as surely they aren't too expensive?
where's my best place to get one?
Right well long story short my Mrs' 182 wouldn't start on the weekend, turned over but wouldn't fire up.
Greenflag man came out and diagnosed it as being the coil pack.
replaced the coil pack tonight but still no change.
My mechanic mate came round to have a look and after found that we had...
I need a coil pack for the Mrs' 182, my question is should i get a genuine Renault one or can/should i get a non genuine?
My Lexus mechanic mate has no Renault contacts but has many who can get him non genuine parts.
Yesterday me and my Mrs got in her 182 as we were heading out.
Turned it over but it just would not start, we looked at each other as its never missed a beat until this.
Tried again and again but nothing, the battery must be fine as the head unit works no problem and all necessary lights come...
Looking at changing my Samsung 32" LCD (Non 1080 :() and am not entirely sure what to get.
TBH i would prefer MINT/CRISP picture over screen size but want 37" or 40" ideally.
I'm not too clued up on TV's but a mate mentioned i should get at least an 100hz?
I'm looking to get a 3Gs when i upgrade soon, was interested to hear what people are paying per month and what they're getting for it (minutes/texts etc) to give me an idea of what i'll likely need to pay.
1] Contract length?
2] Free phone? if not how much
3] How many texts/calls?
4] 16gb or 32gb?
Got 2 x A6 size sheets of carbon fibre sitting in my drawer and have nothing planned for this morning so thought i may as well use them.
Now i've sprayed my diamond so not interested in doing that, what else could i do thats small and easily detachable/removable?
past a Titanium Ph1 heading out of Dursley just before 9am this morning, not sure if the owner is one here couldn't see if it had a CS sticker?
number plate ended HT i think
Drove past a silver Ph1 on Friday which was parked up on the hard shoulder.
Had black F1's and a black/carbon bonnet think the number plate ended something like RGD
Today as it wasn't raining i decided to give my Mrs' RB 182 a good old clean. Recently bought some more bits from I4Detailing so thought i'd use them today.
My day went like this:
Jetwash
Snow Foam (using a little Megs All purpose along with the I4D snow foam)
Hosed off
Shampoo'd/washed...
Rear Brake disc/pads
Anyone recently bought some rear brake discs and pads for their 1*2, i'm in need of getting some for my Mrs' 182 and am interested to see if anywhere is doing good prices on them?
i know Auto-nation were doing a good deal earlier in the year but that was only for a short...
My mate is after a headunit for his 06 Megane, he's after one that has bluetooth and ipod capabilities. basically the better spec the better.
he's happy for either a single or double din unit with a budget of £300 ideally.
anyone recommend me one i can point him in the direction of?
When i drive off after having my car parked up at work all day i can make the car pop slightly.
By pop i mean the noise you get after giving the throttle a blip then ease off, during the drop in speed it whilst resting my foot on the throttle i can get it popping here and there.
Strangely it...
Decided i'm going to give my car a bloody good clean this weekend after cleaning it last week in a bit of a rush, it's plastered in tar specks and all sorts of contamination so the clay is coming out for the first time.
Can someone confirm the following is a good plan....
Pressure wash

My mate spotted a silver 172 in the car park earlier today, i can't remember who's it is, its got the 'Monster' claw scratch green decal on the bootlid???
Recently mentioned that my car does not always start first time and often i need to give the throttle a bit of pumping to get it to fire up.
This is not all the time but only ever happens when left parked up over night.
It got MOT'd last week and didn't do too well on the emmisions.
i'm...
