I like the centre console.

Clutch is a bit of a fucker to do at home, but possible. Give Danny at 519 a call, he's only about 1 hour 15 away from essex, it was him I used when I had my 172.

Any reason you've not replaced those rear discs? They look like they're created from rust. Black wheels are a little.... I'm not sure.. think silver would have looked better.

That little wheel is manual adjustment mate, he's just saying make sure the adjust is in the slot properly. Have a check, you'll be able to see if they're not.

I've been looking a little italic myself. You should send this over to autosmart in an email and they might send you a freebie out of pity.

It was a joke, you plum. x

iirc they were moving it to a bus museum next year...

Ginger nuts is right, if it's not in right, it'll aim them high.

I've never met you, but we're over.

I can't remember for the life of me. If I had to guess, park approx 1m away from a wall, set the lights to the middle point on the internal adjuster, go for about 75cm off the floor. See how you get on.

There's just verticle adjustment, you use these to level them up normally, then you use the in car adjuster to change the height.

That looks cracking Dawn, you certainly know what you're doing with that polisher. I actually like the exhaust, the backbox design is a bit badmanz, but it looks good. Keep this one for a while though eh?

Nice work dude, dare I say say the p word? Any news?

Wests have a banging deal on the mats, I saw the thread pop up the other day. £49.99 or something, and they're cracking.

Considering the mileage it's done, 47k since the last belt change, there's no way I'd just change the dephaser. Do the whole lot. Belts and all.

We only help Ron in the hope he'll get us out of a jam one day. "Dave, I've been nicked with a kg of chang, I need you to swap it for a kg of talc once it makes it to evidence".

Now I'm pissed.

As its for your daughter to use, I'd get the bigger one. It'll make the kids education games etc easier with the big screen and IMO more engaging. At 4 she'll be able to hold a full size on easily anyway! I think I'm right in saying you can put parental passwords on settings etc so she can...

Ah ok, don't drive it hard, don't bother with camber. Simple as. It'll only chew up tyres quicker and add no real benefit (unless you want to be scene y0)

My only criticism, is that once again there's no real area to gather as such. Yes there's a small marquee, but with the amount of money available to organise, I've seen things before at brands etc where there's just a giant marquee with some comfy looking garden furniture under it. It'd be nice...

Yeah I know what you mean dude. Does it get driven hard often?

Ronald, take a tape measure, get an idea of where you want the wheel in relation to the arch, have a measure, order. I had 25mm on the front of my ph1 and it made it look awesome!

499 Second.

Now now chaps, calm.

By premium running costs, I'm comparing to Audi/BMW/Merc etc, not porsche etc. Now they're running 17 inch wheels, and simple things like a balljoint are not cheap, IMO they're creeping into the same running cost territories. On a 172 a ball joint in 10 minutes and £12 for example. No longer...

Nice motor that, will look better when it's off the black 182 wheels, worst colour for them.

H'awesome!

I'd agree, if it was a porsche. But it's a 2.0 Clio dude! The 172 manages a comfortable 32+ average, almost always 40+ on long motorway runs. For me the simple way to define it is that the 200 is a non premium car, with premium car running costs.

Nice choice. I have similar feelings about the newer Clio's. Expensive repairs, high running costs, and the same level of performance/comfort as a 182 Trophy. Where do I sign? (for any alternative).
