    dash top won't come out..!

    If mine ever gets stuck, I push down on the dash with one hand and forward with the other. Seems to untangle the Tabs. I think some come out perfect due to being new/never removed and others that have been butchered back in in the past are the culprits.

    Time & Attendance/HR systems

    At my last place we had ‘Edays’. Sickness, holiday, overtime, bonus etc etc for all 800 employees. As staff We could all access our own portal to request holidays and OT pay and as a boss I could authorise things that needed it, was a fairly straightforward and easy system to use.

    2003 Clio Billabong 1.2 16v

    Billabong with a climate pack! (Climate control and electric sunroof) that’s probably one of the rarest Clios around. They were brand new for £179 deposit and £179pm. We weren’t allowed to discount them and only got paid £35 per deal as they literally flew out the door. Nobody paid extra for...

    Kev this thing does 1500 miles a week. When o say I cleaned it I mean I got it wet, soaped it up, rinsed it off and drove off. 15 mins tops. Just so I can see out of the windows. 😂😂

    I cleaned this on Thursday. This door had a pretty savage scratch so I wet sanded it and then machine polished it. Also put a coat of some sealant I had in my box just to see what happened. I’d say that’s a pretty solid case for protecting the paint properly.

    2017 clio 1.2 sooooo slow

    1.2 Clios were slow in 1994. With the added weight of the new ones I’d imagine they’re almost pedestrian. *edit - Thinking about it - my mother in law has a 1.2 TCE so 100bhp? Thing is dangerously slow and the gear stick doesn’t feel like there’s anything attached to the other end of it. Like...

    182 shocks on 172

    No idea mate. If you want stiffer, you could do the 172 Cup route as they’re stiffer and 54mm.

    I use Angelwax Glass sealant type stuff. H2Go or something? Lather it all over, leave it 20 mins, spray a tiny bit of water on the screen and wipe off. Piece of piss. Lasts ages.

    Was behind/next to this for a mile in traffic today. Sounded absolutely glorious every time he left a gap and booted it. Just a shame Johnathan Woss chose the number plate.

    Not something g you want to do frequently on a plastic window. They scratch/haze so easily. Much better to avoid that if possible.

    I cleaned the engine bay on my mums car with a bottle of gunk and a hosepipe. Got rid of soooo much grime. This was when chemicals were proper chemicals!! My mum then convinced two of her friends to have their engines done and being 12/13 years old I had no idea what I was doing. Both cars were...

    If you’re going to try and piss all over someone’s misfortune at least have your evidence ready to back up your statement. I’m still waiting for you to show me how to build a car the same as this for less than £20k. But all you have are gif’s.
