Just been out to try my dashcam at night time to see what sort of picture quality I get. I have the cigarette lighter cabling connected to a 12v-5v hard wire kit then to my satnav and an unused dual usb socket. The dashcam charges fine when in its dock, but as soon as I turn my lights on the...

You going to get the garage to sort it then or take it elsewhere? Don't scrap it or strip it!

:smile:

What time are you meeting tomorrow? Change of plan as I've not gone home now so I may be able to pop round. Depends on what times as i'm working at 6pm. Went on a drive today to Dovestone reservoir and on the way took some photos. Not great but i'm still getting a hang of the camera! Car...

Yeah, be great to meet you. Would have to make sure I'm not busy though as I often work weekends.

Cheers mate really appreciate the kind words! Yeah I definitely won't be driving it too hard as I'd just like to get to know it properly. Risky on the current belts too and I don't have any abs either at the minute. Handles so well, sticks much more with less body roll than my 1.2. I'll keep...

Just took the 182 out for the first time and I now understand what all the hype is about! An awesome car to drive! The power delivery above 5k revs is insane, and you're soon at 60! It's completely different to the 1.2 in nearly every way. You can feel all the bumps in the road and the one near...

This is looking awesome! Loving the spoiler and the headrests alot. Your painting skills are amazing too, are you doing this at work or just at home?

I'm not I'm afraid! Going home tomorrow and I'm working on Saturday night too. You free Sunday?

I'm booked in now for the 3rd mate. Happy to take the book for you if you drop me a message whenever you're free!

I'll post some picture up tomorrow. Just hoping it's not too bright and dazzling!

Looks fairly tidy although it's missing its bullets on both sides weirdly enough! I'd make sure the belts were done at a specialist too. It's all well and good having an invoice of the parts being purchased and genuine renault, but if they've been fitted by the local mechanic who has one eye and...

Well for anyone wanting to do this too, I simply removed the existing renault LED unit. Pulled out the connector and soldered this to my LED strip. Removed the little opaque light diffusion plastic from the housing and stuck the LED strip to it after cutting it down to size. Connected it back to...

I have two addresses down mate as I'm a student. YO and HD. Put named drivers down if you havn't. Lots of silly stuff reduces prices on the comparison sites! Higher mileage, driving in peak times, etc lowered my premium funnily enough! All my mods were declared too.

I'm with hastings and I'm 21 with 1NCD. £860 I think i paid. Always best ringing, its amazing how much they can knock off.

You gonna update your project thread now @Davyy? Maybe edit the story a little so you didn't break anything ;)

Ask the girlfriend for some lube.

I'm awaiting a snapped fuel rail.

Looks like a great car. Just something about it says 'chav' to me though! Not sure if it's the big red wheels or the decals. IMHO ofcourse

He managed to snap the injector alright though.

But all you have to do is slide an axle stand under, you dont even have to move the jack. Not worth the risk IMHO. (Obviously different if repairing a flat at the side of the road though).

If it does fail the damage should be fairly minimal as all the wheels are still on though? Unless you do work with a trolley jack and no axle stands which is a bit silly.

Can use the radio control stalk too to skip between numbers and to submit the code.

The optimism at 11am ;)

You've got the whole forum helping you here 😂

Yes mate, just put a screwdriver under the little metal bit and lever it off.

That's a good shout... remember to take my service book with me!

No don't drive on 3 cylinders! Have you got a long screwdriver? They're not that strong from the side, just make sure you dont destroy it completely so it wont turn. Hit it all the way through. Or use some nice large water pump pliers on it.

Least it's only 3 injectors you have to worry about for a while now if you get a misfire. :)

Hi Mick, You honestly havn't gone wrong anywhere with me! I am just trying to get a scope on prices in general with the companies that are more local to me, with similarly good reputations when it comes to the work carried out. Your replies were the quickest I got and have left me with lots of...
