Gas - 530g +/- 35g Oil - 135ml +/- 10ml

Depends what category it's written off as. Cat D - Nothing, just repair and drive. Cat C - Requires a VIC test.

Fancy lending me the timing tools? For a price of course!

Chip, where's best to get the tools required from? I'm planning on doing mine shrotly but need to source the locking tools. Chris

Please say you don't really use a sponge? I didn't think anyone used a sponge anymore!?

57 plate R27 on 65k!

Surely it forms part of the deceased estate, and is subject to their will (if they had one) surely it can't just be sold on until will etc is sorted out?

How much are you getting it for? Recaros alone normally fetch £800+

Not ideling, that's not enough. It needs a good high rev run to get the cat temperature up.

Service if it's due, and make sure it's nice and hot when you get there (as long as it's goign straight in!)

I would imagine your friend is thinking of the R26 (the Megane) as this has an LSD i beleive.

Mine only works on number 4 when it feels like it. Some days it works fine, the next it won't. I see it as a quirk, maybe even a bit of character definately not a fault :D

Stick to a standard air filter. Best bet to check what the last service consisted of, you may not need spark plugs for instance. Oil, Oil filter, air filter, pollen filter (if it has one) and fuel filter (if its a servicable type) is what I would be changing, and maybe plugs if needed. Do you...

I've had this problem before, on a Peugeot 307. Silica gel works very well (the little paper sachet's you get in show boxes etc). You can get a brand of cat litter that is made of silica gel from Pets at Home, I used some of this tied up in a pair of tights to make a small pouch of it. Wedged...

Just get the photobucket app and upload to that?

No doubt there are many threads about this on here and on clio200.net. As long as you are doing it for the right reason (driveability, not out and out power gains) then yes it will be well worth doing

It wouldn't be a simple bolt on job of course, but at the end of the day it's just some bits of metal pipework so easy enough to chop about and make it fit eventually. You do realise that the std 197 exhaust tips are black and hidden don't you? the only properly visible ones have had tailpipes...

My question would be why? Yes it would be do-able but i can't see a single reason for doing it

I use mine for browsing, a few games, Plex for streaming to my Apple TV, LogMeIn to control my media PC that sits in the loft, I use a Wake on lan app to turn on my media PC, I write my shopping lists Alsorts really. I've actually sold my laptop now because I wasn't using it!

It will be much quicker and easier to buy a decent engine degreaser and do it by hand. You'll have a lot more control with a hose pipe or watering can and you can get the same result

Parts seems over priced to me. The coolant for instance - this can be had from renault for £12.40 for 5l of ready mixed type d. That's retail price too. If they've over priced on simple things like coolant i'd expect all others will be too.

-7 for me this morning! Highest I saw on the way to work was -5

Have they not gone into the podcasts section, rather than Music?

I'd be taking it back just because of the wheels!! They are shocking!

You'll probably find that ANY tint you apply to the front side windows will make them too dark from a legal point of view. Most are already tinted from the factory so any additional tint will push you over the limits of what you are legally allowed.

I'm thinking of scrapping my car as it recently ticked over to 64k. The end is nigh.

Just remember MPG isn't the only increase in running costs you are going to see. Servicing is likely to cost more, as are brakes, tyres, Tax, Insurance etc etc.

Any idea on the part number Jon?

Mines the same, also it's not getting very warm inside even on hottest setting. It will be the thermostat. I'm planning n putting a new one in in the next could of weeks.

The only total loss I had worked out in my favour. I bought a 306 D turbo for £1,550, drove it for 18 months, added 40k on the clock. Wrote it off and got £1,836 back from the insurance (first offer and I snatched there hand off!) It's swings and roundabouts!
