Welcome aboard :)

Nice shopping list, that!

Money well spent. 👍🏻 £7k could have dropped you right into dull, generic ownership of a car that you pass twenty of per day, instead.

An interesting thread this - it's almost like the absolute inverse of what we got Microsoft MapPoint to do all those years ago at work. Literally planning the most efficient route around several destinations - which makes sense for the commercial environment, but not so much when you want to...

Looks great - proper solid performance from that graph too. Big plus point for the flaps as well - they really suit it and probably very functional on some of the roads up in Scotland!

I do like black golds with the front grilles painted. Are they pretty resistant to chipping over time? Or does the paint start to come off quite easily?

I’ve not played 2077 - but for all the hype, preorders and buzz that this game generated - it does appear to have quietened down a lot in the media. Given that Witcher 3 still continues to be referred to and actively promoted - I read a gaming reviewer back in February literally pleading with...

Don't forget the DSG fartbox with the stomp & go driving mentality saving the driver any third pedal and manual change issues. Driven the neighbours Polo GTi and although it felt like you'd never see double-figures in MPG when the gearbox is set to Sport - in most scenarios I bet it would beat...

Still wish I'd ordered mine in PB.... ☺️ It's a gorgeous colour - nice purchase, sir!

Still a very active community from what I can gather, which is massively impressive for a game that's heading towards being 30 years old. I think they just got a lot of simple ideas nailed from the get-go. The original TT was a little bit silly in that you could cut off the AI player(s) in...

Noticed that OpenTTD (Transport Tycoon Deluxe) has now been added to Steam. Brings back many memories from uni days, that. :)

Definitely something a bit different! Welcome aboard :)

RB is a fantastic colour when cleaned and in the sun. Mind you, so is black gold..... then you look at it and it's dirty again. :P

If its any consolation - the local Renault dealership to me replaced the alternator three times when my OEM item failed. They even had the nerve to try and charge me the additional labour for each swap-out. When eventually they got it right - the unit only lasted two years before failing again...

That was the main thinking behind my rebuild. I wanted the current driveability - but with that performance dial just turned up slightly. It's my daily and I didn't want to run the risk of compromising what the Clio had been about all these years. Sure, there are many more powerful small...

Welcome!

Not quite the cup holder - but I'd like a slightly different moulding to the ash-tray base. I've got an OBD-2 Bluetooth adapter permanently plugged in there and the ash-tray doesn't fit correctly on top. If I could have the ash-tray base reprinted with about an inch less depth - it would slot in...

With working on Shadsworth (even though I haven't been in the office itself for a year!) - that might be a good shout - thanks.

One of my work colleagues managed to nab two Founders Edition RTX3080 cards pretty much on release day. Offered one to me at the price that he paid (£680) which I politely refused at the time. Yeah..... in hindsight, that was a mistake!

It really is. I saw my EVGA 1080 on eBay with its current bid at about £50 less than what it cost me new over five years ago. Insane.

Don’t be alarmed with rust in the petrol filler cap area on your search for another 172/182. It’s a really common area to get it as well.

I have Afterburner running in the background - outputting GPU temp to my Logitech G13. It's a dusty fecker at the minute! 😊

I just think all things like this are too far ahead of their time. There will come a time where simply subscribing to a gaming service in true 8K, at 200hz will become the norm on most integrated TVs. But for true streaming quality of that nature, we're years away from that yet. When the...

It's tricky - I might arrange a visit again? I don't want to be missing out on a potential good job based on my own frustration with them. We'll see - if we move house, it maybe that there's somewhere else closer to home?

Funny you mention them Matt, they were a company I went to in person, with them being close to me. Booked an initial visit and when I turned up, I had a walkaround with one of their staff about what I wanted done. Took my details and a few days later, I contacted back asking if there was any...

Sounds really positive. If you could let me know how that goes on...... and how they might feel towards handling a 182 job. ;)

Cheers - seems like a very similar train of thought to me. Northwich is fine - I'd be happy to travel that distance if the work is up-to-scratch. No doubt if these guys you mention deal with rust on Hondas regularly - then a Renault really could be a welcome alternative!? :P

Welcome! If you click on your name at the top of the forum page, you can then click on your avatar picture and edit it that way....

No idea what the text says, but I really like those alloys!

Assuming moving house doesn't financially cripple me (!) - I think I'll have to address the rear arches this year - along with the usual petrol filler cap area. Pretty much convinced myself that the filler cap side will most likely require the panel to be cut out and replaced and for the work...
