    Is my car a cup?

    I wouldn't provide my own parts anyway .. let them do it, that way you're covered by their work and parts warranty.

    Wet tyres or snow tyres?

    Yes. Again. Winter's coming .. Winter is actually Latin for argument. Look it up. :coffee:

    Cape Verde - Boa Vista

    It's not easier to forget. Just do it. Watch TV ads, shows, films etc.. it's all based on the rule. ^ See ? Thirds. It's £34. Get a real job you bum ! Get the wench to get a real job. Sell the wench. Harvest her organs instead perhaps .. the mitchell brothers would earn you a...

    Wet tyres or snow tyres?

    Snow tyres ? Winter tyres is what you mean I assume unless you're speccing up your WRC car ? :rasp: Get a set of 4 and swap them back in March/April to your 'regular' tyres. Compound is much different as is the tread layout. Rainsports are no alternative in snow... Winters are a different...

    Cape Verde - Boa Vista

    Rule of Thirds is the easiest thing to do. Your display (live view) will even show you it if you can't work it out yourself ;) The hard thing is breaking the rule successfully. Good pics dude. Would like to see these on the MB or my iMac live or via Flickr. Free account will do you for...

    182 with spare wheel (Plymouth)

    Did your Clio not come with a storage space between the back seats and tailgate ? :S

    Someone help. I'm getting fed up!

    You don't need to take anything off to change a bulb. :S Changing ballasts though.. you will need to get the light out unless you've go-go-gadget arms which from previous statement, I assume you do not ;)

    Someone help. I'm getting fed up!

    You took the bumper off to change a bulb !? Also .. you made the mistake of using the widowmaker. Put it in the bin and buy a trolley jack. Has the ballast gone ? Assuming it's Xenons...

    New Clio RS

    FLOL. Looks like its having a stroke!

    Engine trouble and crap mpg

    ICV (idle control valve) perhaps ? Swap the lambdas front to rear as an 'easy' fix .. if that doesn't do it .. clean/replace the ICV. Failing that ... er...................... Check the usual things .. ignition = coilpack / HTs / plugs.

    Assistance - Buzzing from sump area

    Good effort. Seriously. My suggestion is to just leave it be ;) What engine is it ? Does the car get warmed up properly regularly ? By that I mean driven for more than 10 miles at a time. Properly warm and then driven properly ;) 1.2s get gunked up easily... This might be a 2.0...

    200's in the snow....

    Buy a set of 4J steelies. Winter rubber. Go mental.

    MOT related question about a backbox I had fitted!

    My loud cars have always passed. Unless for some ridiculous reason this makes your ears bleed from 100 yards away, you'll be fine. Put a gloved hand over the end of the tailpipe and get a friend / dad to look at the joints and see if it's blowing anywhere. If the pressure builds at your...

    Cutting springs

    If you're worried about the ends, cut the height out the middle and glue them back together again.

    hi :)

    Welcome. Mk2 or 3 Clio ? 14" wheels !? Get some Renault wheel trims .. might look a bit nicer ? 14" alloys are going to be hard to find. I'd just save your money and leave it be TBH .. insurance at 17 is hilarious enough as it is.
