'Plentiful' is probably a bit strong! Lol

People spray too harsh a chemical on it, and it reacts. Badly. I've had loads of them with 'sticky dash' syndrome. It's minging. I found IPA (50/50 with water) was good at improving it but I've yet to find a way of completely curing it.

With the current lead times, they'll be on to a new model by the time the current one turns up!

The 3 is a four door saloon mate and the 4 is either a coupe or convertible.

With regards to the headlights, my mates dad just bought some updated units for his 1970's scimitar. Not expensive and are a 100 times better than the old dates ones. Good to see it back though, it's a credit to you.

@JD is an expert mate. Flawless finish every time.

10 miles to work, 10 miles home. 3 of those (each way) are stop start/crawling along. The rest is 40-50 mph motorway traffic.

When I had my recovery truck I was doing 1000 miles a week. At 22mpg... My shell loyalty card was healthy! Lol

So the trip is lying to me! Mother fucker says I'm doing 55mpg! Lol. I do 100 miles a week (I only use it for work, I hate it) so I suppose £10 a week to get to work is ok really. Thank you all.

I did lie a bit, 507 miles I did. What do you reckon?

Yep. Cheap ones do crop up! Mine was a 54 reg moonstone, done 99k with proper history and the bloke wanted £1000! I ended up giving him £800 for it. He'd not long spent £600 on dpf removal and remap! Lol.

Suspension, seats, wheels... Basically a gti with a Diesel engine. With the DPF removed and mapped, they are really reliable too and go like stink! My last one had 135bhp! Lol

2 things... 1) '**n-bomb** rig' what you had?? Care to elaborate? 2) have you done any research on the Multi-tronic gearbox??

Yeah that's my job tonight. I'll fill it up and see what's going on. A bit disappointed with the total mileage though. 400 miles on a full tank is do-able in a 172 if you drive like a nun.

@GrahamS Help me bro! I've just done the first tank of fuel in. 499 miles?? I was hoping for 500+. The last 2 bars on the fuel gauge have disappeared and the computer reads zero, within the last 30 miles. Is this normal?? I used to drive my 182 for miles and miles on the fuel light let alone...

I can't. My remark was aimed at Lawro as I borrowed some from him about 14 years ago and I keep forgetting to drop it back to him. Because I'm a c**t.

It's great but please don't mention hydr02 on the same page as @Lawro

Mate my life is horrific. Honestly, you couldn't make this s**t up. This week, definitely.

The engine needs to be able to move a bit, otherwise things will break (more than normal) But if there's banging going on, it's normally down to worn out mounts. Replace all three and you'll not have to worry again for a long time.

What is line prone? Has it been recently launched?

I get the hint. :-(

Is your Dad Fifty Cent?

More than likely a top mount seized/not seated properly. It causes the spring to twist, and then 'dong'.

Just go to your local specialist or Renault dealer and get the programmed out properly. It's half hours work on a computer so no faffing around.

Leave the wheels silver and spend the money on spacers instead. Will look the tits!

Obviously don't hold the washer right up against the roof. Just be sensible really. If it's particularly green in places, once you soak it in cleaner, scrub it with a brush before rinsing.

I've pressure washed roofs for about 15 years, never had an issue yet. If you're only using a karcher type pressure washer, and not a boiling hot 2000psi industrial washer, you'll be absolutely fine.

Very bad, the hopd will shrink/stretch. If it's green mould, then some normal All purpose cleaner (g101 etc) will clean it up. Spray it on, let it soak for a good 15 minutes (not in the sun) and pressure wash it all. If it's black mould, then baby sterilising fluid is the only thing I've...

I have no air con. :-( Good to know re the water pump though. That saves f**king about getting wet.
