It’s essentially a body control module. Controls the wipers, lights etc etc. The hundreds of tiny solder joins break and crack and causes issues like you’re describing. Very easily and cheaply fixed though so no worries.

Under the glovebox is the UCH. Unplug it and plug it back in a few times. If the problems go away your UCH is on its way out. Plenty of people on EBay repair them cheap enough.

I’ve now got them in mine and I’m by the car now. What pics do you want?

In my (limited) experience, you need to check the following; Starter motor wires. These are very old engines now, there’s every chance the wires are corroded inside. My 2007 car just had to have two new cables because the wires were corroded and it was very lazy to start. Starter motor...

I’d love one but those chocolate gearboxes fill me with fear.

If Josh Cook was ok with 50+ in his rear tyres in his 182 on track, 40 is good enough for me. 😂

No not at all. It’s really really safe and predictable. Apart from a diff (and the driver) I can’t fault anything with the car.

I run 30 hot in the front and 40 hot in the rear. (My car weighs f**k all though?) But my tyres wear the same way as yours, albeit I have MRF’s. As Kyle said, just rotate them to get your money’s worth.

You’d better not miss then you rich c**t.

What about a penalty shoot out…

As above, what you’ve done is cool but I’d never buy anything like that. As soon as I see a Porsche driver on a track day and he’s wearing Porsche clothing, I make a mental note to avoid them.

Mick’s a legend!! Really pleased for you mate. If anyone deserves a big smile, it’s you!

Try and do an evening session at a circuit close to home. Will be a good shakedown and you can plan your next steps ready for your first day in November.

Jack the car up, 4 13mm nuts per seat (2 of them need deep sockets) and that’s all you need. old seats out. Hoover wires tucked away safely refit new seats take car to someone with CLiP and get the airbags coded out. wallop.

The mechanic is about 60, none of the young ones want to touch it presumably because they can’t plug it in. so he gives me post it notes of bits needed if it’s for my own cars. Stock cars just get euro car parts stuff, but I prefer to get my own bits for my cars. I lost the post it note...

Graham Goode is out of stock, and OEM only list the inlet not the return. (Pas) waterpump is available OE new so you think I should just crack on with that?

My Sierra is up at the garage and needs a host of o-rings. Most for the power steering but one for the water pump housing and and a couple for the water injection. in my infinite wisdom, I have lost the list of measurements that I was given by the mechanic and all of the old ones are scattered...

Welcome to the club @franchini

Chepstow or Bristol. I have places in both.

£150 a month is cheap. Fully insured and sat on a charger. im paying that per vehicle to store three of mine and it’s a damp, unsecure with no electric and just a complete hole of a place.

Nothing yet because we haven’t got the keys. Slow ass solicitors…. 😂 but it will depend on a number of factors. If you are insuring it or want us to insure it, if you want it sat on a trickle charger, if you want it easily accessible or blocked in etc etc. but it will range from around...

The mad thing is, this Trophy has probably doubled in value since you got it. Despite all the misery it’s caused you, you will have a clean mint standard trophy and that will just go up and up and up value wise but at the same time will continue to make you smile every time you find a good bit...

What if the car has been lowered? The measurements will differ. surely you’re better off measuring from the door mouldings up to the sticker??

Good choice. On both car and circuit. Oulton is my favourite I think.

Blokes clearly a liar. Don’t buy cars off liars as it never ends well.

Ffs! 🤦‍♂️

You have shown a photograph of your car that doesn’t show us how many doors it has. Then you have posted two links, one for a 3 door, one for a 5 door. I think I can see what went wrong here… post a side on pic of your car so we can see what you have and someone (maybe even me if you’re...

That’s unbelievably clean underneath! Never seen a clio like it tbh, fair play.

@SharkyUK - what’s the deal with this spec wise? I’ve tried keeping up with the thread but I’m due to retire in 24 years…

Have you got no PAS then? I haven’t either but I’m going to fit it this winter.
