Highly unlikely my car will be ready for this. So I’ve either got to buy something to make use of my track ticket and I can also use to enjoy the roads on the way there (risky with an unknown car) or sell the track time and just drive up in the truck.
Rear brakes and rear shocks will get rid of 4 of them and the parts are cheap. (Assuming you have a clio?)
I’d be more inclined to see what the oil leak is. If it’s not bad or it’s just a build up of old oil, take all the under trays off and clean it all up. Obviously if it’s bad and leaking...
Locking wheel nuts, window etchings and alarms were all done by CAT for ‘genuine’ Uk registered cars iirc. All models had the immobiliser. Final answer Dave, but im only 99% sure not 100.
Let me know a price when you get back from your trip away. I’m absolutely skint at the moment but I’m hoping my mate will sell a couple of my cars whilst I’m away. And I’ve always wanted one of these.
As above, I used to sell Renault 172’s when they were new and for every English registered one there was at least one import. They were very common. Nothing to worry about at all.
Sounds a bit pants, no? Unless it’s the quality of the video.
What manifolds has it got on it?
If it’s the standard crap it will be strangling the V8 noise. Get some good quality headers on there and it will sound biblical.
Looks nothing like a Renault 5.
It’s f**king massive.
Why does it need 22 inch wheels??
New cars really can just f**k off now. I can’t think of a new car that I’d actually want to own??
Your other option is to slide a very thin pick/flat blade screwdriver in between the pin and the plastic housing of the plug. This then pushes the pins closer together. Doing that as well as giving them a good clean up has worked for me on several clios.
Were they really stubborn water spots?? Or just regular spots after washing? I really need something to get them off mine. It’s like They’re haunting me. Every time I think I’ve got rid of them they creep back.
Opposite my work is a company called “Bearing Warehouse” and many many MANY gearbox repair places go there to collect their stock.
I have absolutely no clue about gearboxes and bearings but if you can get me names/part numbers/measurements (or whatever bearing people need to supply correct...
To be fair that does look very stretched. My dent guy wouldn’t attempt it either I don’t think.
Your only option is to fill it and paint it. Around £1000 to have the roof done properly. Or you could fill it yourself and get the roof wrapped??
When you think of the absolute Scat that gets churned out nowadays, Just look at this!
It’s absolutely beautiful. 20+ years old And can run rings around much ‘better’ cars. It’s a proper proper car. Love it! 👏🏻
I would be inclined to check all of your suspension and bushes, followed by wheel alignment.
The stiffer sidewalls of the tyres will exaggerate any handling faults with the car.
I recently had mine done and it’s transformed the car.
If you’re getting the belts done at a known reputable specialist, it’s worth doing as you can ask a premium.
If you’re planning on doing it yourself or a mate doing it, you’ll see no benefit from a financial point of view.
