    Audible 'rotational' clunk from the rear under light braking

    If he’s got a sticking caliper it’s still plausible?

    Audible 'rotational' clunk from the rear under light braking

    Stone in the tyre tread fractured brake disc (common!)

    ## WARNING ## @ BLOKE

    I’m guessing by the MOT history it’s doing lots of track days!

    ## WARNING ## @ BLOKE

    I remember Steve’s cup!! I bought the thing when he’d finally had a guts full of it.

    ## WARNING ## @ BLOKE

    He won’t reply. It’s all over the Facebook groups and everyone is tagging him and his son and so far his son has put up no defence what so ever. Even had the cheek to say they’d “written off the Labour” of the poor blokes Megane. Which is fucked. properly feel for the guy, he’d owned it a long...

    Another Kangoo 182

    So last night (or the night before?? Can’t remember, I’m very very tired) I did a 6.5 hour trip in the truck and SHE’S HOME!! so so happy. Got a bit of a list to get through to make it how I want, but I’m happy and that’s all I care about lately.

    Kangoo Compact (aka Racevan3)

    I love you Jon!!

    All electric Mustang Mach E

    That eye sore is Absolute bobbins and I’ve no interest at all. EV’s won’t be properly mainstream in my lifetime so I’ll just carry on driving exactly what I want until I’m too old and die.

    Clios with replacement engines - values?

    No, but it’s probably an Import.

    Clios with replacement engines - values?

    I have sold 30+ cars per month for the last 18/19 years. That’s a f**k load of cars. From 90’s Fast Fords to Clio V6’s, to Classic Jags. I cannot remember a single person checking an engine number, not one.

    Returning to my Autoglym roots

    Been Cleaning cars to various standards for the last 20 years. The brand I always go back to is Autoglym. Yes there are better products out there but like you say, for speed and ease, they’re a hard brand to beat.

    New project - Clio Williams 2.

    Cracking choice! As a mk1 owner myself, be prepared to be emotionally and financially drained....

    Another Kangoo 182

    The steels look cool (IMO) but they don’t allow enough heat to leave the brakes for proper track work I don’t think.

    Another Kangoo 182

    I’ve seen ropey ones fail to sell at £1200. I’ve seen absolute minters with everything. Done go for near £5k.

    I'm an optimistic idiot.

    Apologies, I need to be clearer. Anything old with the 1.9pd is good. Anything after that (about 2005-ish) then it’s absolute junk.

    Another Kangoo 182

    I mate I sold it in about May time I think? I am hoping to buy it back very soon though...

    I'm an optimistic idiot.

    We very rarely stock VAG cars now. Overpriced and unreliable crap. And when they break, it’s £700, minimum.

    I'm an optimistic idiot.

    You paid £1000 for that...?! You’re not being serious are you?!

    The New Phone Thread

    Gents, I can buy a brand new (but technically secondhand) IPhone XR 64gb for £400. Is that a worthwhile purchase? My 6S is dying within 4 hours now and it’s laggy as f**k.

    M135i - Attempt Number 2

    What else can you get out of the back door...?!

    Are ph2 clio sport's appricating ?

    As with anything specialist (in terms of belts, suspension etc) the ropey one’s will keep plummeting and the good ones will keep rising.

    M135i clean

    Have you got a blue 2 series coupe?? I keep seeing one with TOM 5X on the plate on the M5 all the time.

    Thinking of viewing

    I loved mine. But my wife had to drive it every day and hated it. I genuinely believe that the dci’s are the best car that Renaultsport have produced. No cambelts to worry about, the clutches are proper strong, they go well, they’re reliable, good on fuel, fast (once mapped) they’re great...

    Rattle can job?

    I recently did a qashquai (sp) boot handle and spoiler in black. Came out absolutely perfect! Plenty of light even coats, left in the sun to dry on a hot day. Looked brilliant if I’m honest! Lol

    Paint Blemish/Poor respray? Help!

    That’s a burn. Someone has tried too hard with a machine polisher to get that scratch out and burnt the paint. Needs a repaint unfortunately.

    Thoughts on high mileage 182

    The engines are the strongest part of these cars. They’re bomb proof of looked after properly. I’d personally go on condition and history over what the speedo reads.
