Had the brakes apart the day before yesterday to do the discs all moving freely, disc spins freely by hand. What’s wrong with big red pistons may I ask?

They are ~90k old so it’s quite possible but no play or noises to note of..

About 4 weeks ago I took the Clio for a spin. She had been sat for about a week as I’d been on holiday. Jumped in the car, rolled off the driveway and it felt a bit sluggish. Check the tyres in case one was flat but they were all good. Thought it was maybe because I’ve been used to driving the...

Probably because they’re actually 10x better then a lot of plastic lens headlights out there 🤣

I’m no expert but I’ve seen far worse pass MOT!

They only go on one way on all of them but people still manage to fcuk them up. Biggest giveaway is the retaining clips being difficult to put back on/take off. The beam pattern is set by the way it reflects off the back of the headlight. If it’s inserted wrong the light reflects in the wrong...

I’m fairly convinced most people who fit these bulbs fit them incorrectly which throws the beam pattern off.

Assuming you have a Cup in that case. Make sure the bulbs are in the holders the correct way for starters before you start changing level height.

Oh bother. Pre mot inspection revealed a bit of a blow… I can’t complain about it though can I, show me another original exhaust on similar age/mileage.

lol. That’s my house. You trying to say my house is tiny or Cubs shed is large? 🤣

Another milestone. Since the 5’s been here the Clio has had a fair amount of time out but alas yesterday she tipped over 220k. The lack of use has meant the nsf brake pad is sticking in the caliper so getting a touch hot so I’m hoping to sort that this week. Anyhoo, she still looks good from...

Thanks all, have given me some ideas to discuss with my committee members and make a decision about how to proceed 😎

Primarily it’s going to be an online list of local driving instructors. Will need to have an application form on one page. Mobile friendly for sure as most people are using mobile devices now aren’t they? We have a logo already, it doesn’t have to be flashy but needs to be edited frequently by...

Looking at building a small 4/5 page website but I’ve no idea where to start! What sort of costs to design and build might I be facing? Ongoing costs? Help please!

Just a few phone pics I took.

I’ve only ever run Michelin Pilot Sport 4 and the last 2 years PS5’s. I’m running Cooksport springs and it feels planted. Inspires confidence.

oh god, here we go again… 6 months of trying to figure out name changes… 🤣🤣

Walked in the door at 02:15 😴 3 charge stops, 3 failed coffee stops (starbs was closed each time! 🙈) finally got one from a machine though 🙌🏼 Don’t think I’ll be bringing the 5 next time though.. 🤣 Saw one of your lot @CliosandCoffeeCal on the side of the M56 I think it was… did they make it...

Unfortunately the fault codes are very misleading. Not always what they say they are.

Change the battery if it’s not recently been done. If the battery is not that old then I’m afraid it’ll likely be the transmission control module (TCM).

Looks like the love child of a mk2, mk4 Clio and twingo 🤣

Just casually charging up in Waterford and this American guy comes up to me and proclaimed to be obsessed with the 5’s and was desperate to see one while he was in Ireland. He asked if he could take a picture so I obliged. As he wandered off I noticed another one parked further down the street 🤣

Place your bets how many charge stops for the way home..!

You shouldn’t need a code because the battery was disconnected but if you download the ‘my renault’ app and put in your vin/reg it’ll show you the code..!

Are they the standard wheels?

Swapped out the old seized up, burnt out wiper motor and linkage with a new one. One thing ticked off the list!

Forgive me, I’m thinking of something else clearly 🙈

That’s more involved, whipping the plugs out doesn’t render the car immobile for long.

It’s had: Tyres (x7 front x5 rear sets) Brakes (x4 front x2 rear sets) Wishbone bushes x2 sets Wheel bearings ARB bushes x2 sets Waterpump Set of springs (because 1 snapped at 113k) Top mounts x2 sets Front shocks TCM Gearbox oil x3 Approximately 30 engine oil changes Spark plugs x4 sets Engine...

That is also a possibility 🤔 I’m not ruling anything out right this moment. It’s never had any issues with the engine so it’s anyone’s guess!
