Pretty much, every time I clean the crap out of my throttle body i'm aware of how much dirt mine lets through, whether it lets big enough bits through to actually score the cylinders is another story.
I haven't actually read the article as i'm too lazy.
A poor man's RS6 sounds good to me, i've only looked at them as an alternative to Impreza Wagons as they're a lot cheaper for a good one and they come with a lot more power as standard, what mpg did they get, low 30's?
I've always thought it would make a good dog carrier and general work horse, what was is like to live with in terms of mpg, maintenance etc, are they quick?
Depends what you mean by FSH, stamps in a book from Renault aren't really that important, partly because there too far apart for what these engines need and partly because Renault are utterly useless and shouldn't be allowed to touch your car, what you want is an owner that's kept the receipts...
Also that service schedule is what to look for when buying one, if you buy from a member on here it should have been looked after, usually from the way they word an advert and how much info they provide will tell you if it's been looked after or not.
As long as you change the oil at least once a year, belts done every 5 years, these engines will carry on being strong way past 100k miles, I got mine at 50k when it was 5 years old, it's now 14 years old and is on 104k and it's as strong and reliable as it ever was.
Working in posh f*cker land again today, saw a yellow Gallardo Spider, an orange McLaren MP-12C, an Aston Martin Rapide, every Rolls Royse there is in one of their dealerships and drove past a McLaren dealership where they had two MP-12C's, one of them a spider which just looked incredible.
Working at Tatton park today, which as it turns out is surrounded by very posh houses, very rich people and high end car dealerships, so just today I saw : Ferrari 355, 458 Italia, Brabus G Wagon outside a car dealership with a price tag of £135k, new right hand drive Mustang GT, Morgan of some...
The Salvation Army. lol
I'd have paid money to see him try and give you a slap, mouthy tw*t vs a bloke that was in the RAF regiment, i'd have got a deck chair and popcorn out for that one.
Not keen on the wheels if i'm being honest, but that's like saying I don't like the shoes Alex Jones wore on the one Show last night, i'd still rag the f*ck out of her.
