your car was out of control or you were not in control of the car? im not a weather expert i wouldnt imagine our snow is much different, maby were just used to it? ive yet to come across an issue with controling my car in it

because for me, in winter a car is about getting to and from work and thats all its for. i leave a bit earlier when it snows, take my time and get there just as safely as i would in the summer! pulling G's off the traffic lights with my winter tyres doesnt sound like fun, so i keep the £500+ in...

not much info on here on the conversion, its been done though, a lot of ball ache tho

im swaying between a 200 or keep and remap the GT DCi! cant decide what i want to do lol

very nice, looking forward to your future reviews and videos!

i just stick the plug lead back down and pull it out that way if you dont have a magnet handy!

ratchet, extension and deep socket no?

of couse they give better grip, they are designed to. Toyo R888's are designed to give brilliant grip in the summer, doesnt mean your cars unsafe if your running something cheaper and lower spec. im with danny, the last 2 winters and especially last winter have been terrible up here with...

best bet is going 2nd hand due to the above, also price up a 2nd hand hard drive in what ever size you need and a cheap enclosure. you considered an upgrade to 7 rather than a down(upgrade!) to XP from vista? you would be surprized how well 7 runs on older hardware. i tried it on my old IBM T40...

my dci would look awesome slammed on a set of them lol

funny thing is it was running sweet as a nut before this lol!!

LOL thats the sort of challenge i like! i changed a clutch for a boy who was on a tight budget, 2nd hand clutch and done it without taking the shaft out the box and draining the oil lol!!

im currently doing a top end rebuild on a 1.2 16v due to this, turns out the car im doing hasnt been serviced in 6yrs 60k miles lol EDIT: the dipstick is snapped too so god know how much or what the oil is like in it!

it was off a variation of 2.0 16v F4R but none of the RS ones. sure it was a laguna/megane one, do a search the correct engine code to get one off will be on here somewhere i remember reading it

totally agree with that but at the same time look at the difference between ditch finders and top spec tyres in the summer and especially in the rain, just means you need to take an extra bit of care. id say the same goes for winter tyres. infact id say there would probably be more benefit...

LOL!!

as much as they are probably very good at what they are, and maby worth while on a RWD car (i dunno ive never owned a RWD car) i done about 6k miles in last years snow and never missed a single day of work, i had to spend a night on the motorway as it was grid lock but that wasnt down to MY...

strange, usually saw this caused by worn mounts on a few ive sorted. what was causing yours?

front height isnt going to make much difference though, the adjuster is on the rear beam and when the rear is lowered and beam is closer to the body of the car, it lowers the headlight beam. obviously one of the OP's needs a manual adjustment to bring it back up to the same level as the other...

im rocking 2 20k mile michelin's with about 1mm of tread on them this winter! lol RIP

wheels would look ok without the red band and if the car was a bit lower but if it was mine id be going with the standard wheels, spacers and lower

£400 isnt enough money to do a decent job with aftermarket. as stevo says 172 cup dampers all round and eibach sportline springs is what id be spending my cash on (its what i did spend my cash on!)

sounds like worn engine mounts possibly

they are auto leveling, if you lower it the sensor on the rear beam thinks the boots full so it points the headlights lower.

true, another manager i work with has a bigger store, gets about 10k a year more than me and drives an old W reg 318 bmw, total shed of a car, rust on it etc but serves him well and he says hes not replacing it till it dies. i have no idea what its worth, possibly £2k? if that? and i once had a...

never had a bird comment on most of my cars, a few of them liked the silver 172 as it was pretty new and imaculate at the time. birds love the GT though, most ask if they can press the start button lol

the 2 local dealerships are that bad that after 6 renaults i doubt ill buy another, shame really as i like the cars! sales are a disgrace and the monkeys servicing are worse. infact monkeys is being polite

what wheels/spacers is the tce running?!?

serviced outside the network? lol this was renault that serviced it!

dont bite, i cant stand to read another thread go this way lol
