Nice have you got the buttons working?

Nah it was the Jews he hated. Anyway, lovely mate. Quite rare to see one in white innit?

That actually looks pretty good. Makes me want a boy'd up GT86 :D

Are Evo's smaller/more nimble than Impreza's? I always thought my Impreza was too big for me lol, I'm only small :P they kind of look it in pictures but maybe it's deceptive. What's the weight comparison?

This is definitely not a cuss towards Engine Dynamics, I've spent thousands there and have always been pleased with the work performed... he's a great guy too :smile: But, lol... I will say in regards to the map I had done there (to be fair, before the rollers were in place) I couldn't feel...

Can't polish a turd imo :P but it looks mint as hell and that's what counts here I guess!

That looks lovely, not sure on the wheels though.

That actually looks although though... want to see it in the car!

What about the actual Max Power modified Escort? :P #datcolour

My realistic dream motor. f**king superb mate!

This was my (now I realise, ruined) CRX lol... loved it at the time though!

I remember lusting after the Combat Kit when I was in school!

That looks superb without the number plate. Buggers aren't they lol.

Bargain mate... well done!

Jesus. Need to get myself up to Bradford then lol. Probably still cheaper paying the petrol from Essex than getting it done round here lol.

Well dropped it off at my mates garage in the early hours and he was trying it all day and driving it about and never once got it to fault. I drove it home without a problem... proper weird! Kind of hard to fix when it's working. Maybe it's just one of those things. Will attempt short journeys...

They look f**king awesome mate. Did they need any repairs? I was considering getting a new wheel to replace a really curbed up one but at that price I could get all four matched the same for cheaper!

I did this... then came back to another Clio! Should have never gone away :)

Cheers buddy, I'm in Southend. Have a mate that says he should be able to lend me a hand tomorrow after work but if not I'll give you a shout! Just thinking (probably stupidly) if I can use the jump lead method from the battery to the chassis, doesn't that mean it must be that earth that's at...

Cheers buddy, very helpful. It seems like in his case at least it could potentially be reached from above in the engine bay, hmm... might give this a go at the weekend as have sorted lifts until then lol.

Sorry yeah I meant part two then I guess lol... the one at the back of the gearbox. I imagine it's quite hard to take a photograph of, I'm after a 001.mph arrow ;)

Thanks guys appreciated. Do you reckon it's possible to see if the straps come off through the wheels? I guess my investigation is over for today as it's getting dark now. Which brings me to my final question for now! Once it's running... it's not going to cut out is it? Hoping I can drive to...

Thanks for the picture. I take it that's front on not top down? Kind of hard to tell. I'm only asking so many questions about it as I've not got time or tools at my new place to get the wheels off atm, whereas if there's other things/ways of checking I can get on with them before the weekend...

Yup it's 100% an earth problem. Tried again after a long walk and it wasn't working again... done the jump lead method and boom, straight on. Excuse my ignorance but this isn't something I've dealt with before. This is the bolt I struggled with when removing the bumper, could it be anything to...

Well... now things are starting to get really strange! Came back from work and entered the car... the red light on the dash was flashing. Pressed the fob and it locked and unlocked. Tried starting it, nothing, although like this morning the lights flicked on once, but never again. This time...

Thanks. Is it accessible from above, i.e. under the air box or something?

Could you explain about the earth straps? I know nothing about them tbh. Have just Google'd though and it seems there's one that connects under the passenger side wheel arch? Now I recently had the front bumper off which obviously involves messing around with the arch lining etc. I wonder if...

Right, yeah. If it's not sitting at 12v does that indicate my battery's gone pop, or can it be charged up to live on? Guarantee it's 1 month over its warranty period. Should have a multimeter somewhere...

:disrelieved: I searched on here and found many threads about cars not starting but nothing quite the same as mine... it's dead dead. As in dead. As in no dash lights, no clicking from the engine bay, and I can't even lock the car as central locking has gone walkies. Obviously I managed to...
