If you've removed it, and then refitted it .. and only now this problem has arisen, I'd suggest that you have just caused it. Make sure both connections on the battery are tight and correct and the right way round ! :-S Do the dCi's have inertia switches ? Ph1's did .. fairly sure Ph2's don't...

Re: cars ruined me for the next few months! FLOL @ free MOT. Your "free" MOT just nearly cost you over £500 depending what hilarious costs the tyres would have been. Bargain.

Re: cars ruined me for the next few months! You took your car to Renault ? Schoolboy(girl) error !

You're never going to get 5mpg out of an oil change, unless you'd done 200k miles without changing the oil ! My guesses would be lamda sensor ? Blocked cat or binding brakes ? Get it to a garage you know and trust and get them to test emissions. I get better MPG out of my 172 lol.

I'd class myself as a competent amateur behind an SLR taking stills .. however, when I switch the trigger to 'Video' on my 7D, it all goes wrong. Filming on a stationary tripod, in bright (back lit) sunlight, they still look awful .. doesn't seem to matter which lens I use, they just dont seem...

Why are you respraying a Trophy ?! :eek:

It will look like you've stuck a crappy chromed plastic sticker on your fuel cap !? :dead:

Er.. *Cough cough* ;)

Epic sex ? Feel sorry for your OH :rasp: I'm assuming you're not a midget as I spy no booster seat, but please accept my apologies if you are vertically challenged. P.S.: Cream carpet .. mountain bikes ? Goooood plan, Batman ;)

Ok ok .. how much did Brian pay you to pretend his car was out of it's garage ?

Better photos needed. If you have "thousands", find 3 better ones man ! Might be better to put it to standard and sell the mods on here...? Lot of people won't buy a modified car like that as insurance won't be friendly. Four reel ?? :S

Looks alright tho ;) More importantly, how's that album cover ? :boring:

So you haven't hit a pot hole, or taken a huge hit of pot ? Look like 4 space savers on there TBH. :dapprove:

Lovely story, but Wtf has this got to do with magic or potholes?

most 'normal' insurance companies put the price up just to catch the lazy people who will just auto renew. phone them and beat some money out of them. then, call some modified specialists .. brentcare, greenlight, sky for starters .. get some quotes and see where you stand. you're young, im...

LMAO. Nice one Nick ! These would sell for hundreds on eBay...

Bring out The GiMP !!

No problemo dude. It's only on here at the moment .. will be on AT and PH on the w/e if I get a chance !

Ooh .. yeah .. fair enough. Best cars are always in Scotland or 10 miles from Lands End anyway.. you should be overwhelmed with choice ;)

Where are you dude ?

My 172 is up for sale .. has had the belts done too ..

If you've got the money .. get a 500d... whatever you get, you'll either get bored and sell up in 6 months, or sell up and upgrade later on ! Couldnt remember the exact figures on the shutter lifespan but knew it was something silly. Anyway, if it does fail, they're hardly expensive anyway :)

OK i've had a look through your old posts .. get it taken to a specialist for diagnostics... By ABS fault, I assumed you meant that it didn't work or it kicked in too early... it looks like you turn a corner and the brakes appear to be applying themselves for whatever reason ? Where was the...

Worst "I went to BasVegas and all I saw was this Mondeo" thread ever.

The ABS sensors are on the brakes .. they look at the ABS ring which rotates with the brake disc. The ring has teeth on it, the sensors basically count teeth, and if one is reading zero, and the other 3 are reading more than zero, it tells the ABS system one is locked. Why do you think there...

Naaaah.. eBay is full of thieves .. just steal some yourself ! ;)

So you knew it needed a cambelt .. that money should have already been accounted for when you bought it. A week on here sees about 3 threads with "my car doesnt go round corners/i've discovered i've got leaking rear shocks" as the main plot. Buy a new pair or rear shocks and fit them yourself...

Nice. Why the comedic front arch gap relative to the rear ? "Custom" cut to allow steering lock on bumpy surfaces I presume ?!

Do I smell a restraining order ?

Pulse tuning .. ever heard of it ? No, I didn't think so...
