Checked the cup this morning to see how the oil level was and it was a bit down. I know the dip sticks on these are as useful as a chocolate tea pot but after I'd topped it up, the level was over the top mark (must have poored it like I do a beer!).
Would a little too much oil be a problem, I...
As above, anyone know anywhere that can re weld exhaust mounts and tweak my exhaust?
Since the mount snapped a few months ago which was fixed, the tail pipe sits a bit lower than it did. Could do with fine tuning.
How are you finding these tyres? I can imagine wet grip levels aren't great but then I don't push it when it is wet so no problem.
My contis (which I can't fault) are going to be shot after my trackday on 4th March so will be needing a new set of boots all round.
I do a lot of motorway...
Sitting in the usual grid lock M25 traffic this morning and up rolls a black Vantage...it really is the best of british imo. A beautiful car and it sounded as sweet as a nut too.
The cup that is, got the cambelt changed and had the leaking water pump changed at the same time. Was going to change cars but she's sound as a pound according to my mechanic mate. And she's also flying at the mo, just run in nicely. 65,000 miles of bliss:D
Finally got the Goodridge hoses...
Private plate ** DSP or something?
I was on the inside lane to get off for th A414 this morning. You got off too.
Would have flashed but was half asleep still:S
I already know of the authorised Renault & Pug bodyshop in Hatfield and have used them twice. Just wondered if anyone knows of any other good ones?
Gonna need poss new front bumper (depending on how they touch resin bodyworj up nowadays) and bonnet respray. Oh and got a scuff on the rear...
65,000 miles is approaching quick. Gonna have the cambelt changed along with water pump (if needed), AUX belt etc when it's all in bits as soon as I can.
Question is, do I keep it or chop it in for another low mileage 172 cup. Don;t really want a different car and the test drives I've had...
4th set (on one side) of headlamp bulbs went at the weekend and the side light! Sure they're supposed to last quite a while?
Anyone else get through bulbs like this? f**king annoying.
Just been upgraded to a dual 2.7 G5 with 23" Cinema HD Apple display (I have so much desktop, lol)...love it. Anyone else use one?
*awaiting abuse from the other side*
Right, short and sweet. Got Megs clay bar kit and shampoo. What else do I need in terms of polish/sealer etc? And in which process does it all happen.
Thanks, needs doing asap.
A mate off mine has a 182 cup and to be frank the intermittent wiper setting is s**t! No adjustment.
My 172 cup has the full adjustable settings from slow to one click away from constant. Can you change the stalk, is it expensive?
Any help would be great, cheers.
I don't follow the threads on here like I used to so apologies for possibly repeating something. I'm gonna need tyres all round soon so thought about trying the Michelins this time as all I hear is good reviews. Trouble is my tyre guy wants around 100 snots each fitted!
Anywhere I can get...
For the past 1500 miles or so I've noticed an annoying creak that sounds like it coming from the boot/rear area of the car and haven't a clue what it is. Would knackered bushings cause this beiing 60,000 miles old?
I don't get much time to book her in because of my commute so thought someone...
The missus got me the Icelink FM kit from halfords for xmas. She was told this is the only kit that will work in a 52 172 cup...is this right? I'm no expert myself but don't want to upset her!
Can you get a kit that plugs into the standard renault HU??
Cheers
...iPod kits for the clios?

Can't be doing with any of those cheap looking cigarette lighter jobbies!
Noticed a knocking over small/large bumps and thought it was spring related but found out it's my exhaust! One of the mounts for the back box has snapped.
Trouble is I have a long commute and don't know anywhere where I work to get it checked.
I guess what I'm asking is will it f**k up the...
Are they worth it over the standard unit and who's the best to get it from quick, ie before friday? Ktec...?
Is this it btw, they call it a 'flat filter':

Only small news but one of my best buddy's got a call from him the other week asking if he'd design/develop the cold air scoop (he works in GRP). So as he has a 182 cup he might blag a test freebee. One for me too Mr. Fish lol.
I'm looking to get a digital camera soon and been looking at the SONY P200 (bit biased towards sony) and wondered if any of you camera bods out there know what's what with this item??
Any help would be great.
