OK, so having gone from someone who used to use the local jetwash, to asking the local car wash guy to change the water before doing mine, it seems I am gaining some OCD.
I need cleaning stuff.
Looks like I am going to need 2 buckets, a washmit, drying towels, polishing towels and all the...
Guys, my pedal seems to creak a fair bit when being depressed.
Its got a bit of play for the first inch or so (which I assume is normal), then quite heavy and creaks. I was wondering if this is a normal fault, and am I going to need a new cable or pedal assembly to rectify it?
Hell, could it...
OK, so I had the little grill open in front of the wheel, cant see much.
How the hell do I get to the headlight washers? If I have to take the bumper off, how do i do it??
I just called renault, on the off chance of checking whether my bonnet catch has ever been replaced under the recall.
Gave them the reg plate, and they can't find any trace of the car, saying its possibly an import. Weird.
I have to call them back with the chassis number to check that way...
So, after viewing a total of 8 clio's, I think I finally came up trumps.

Going to view a flamer on saturday :)
Been speaking to the guy for a couple of days on phone/text. Arranged to viewing for tonight (thursday) but he is now stuck in London til friday evening, so we have agreed saturday morning.
He's promised me first dibs on the car as I have been so...
Been on here for a while, but never posted in here.
I am Phil, from Manchester, and I am hunting for a 172 to satisfy my little french hatch needs :evil:
Had an array of cars in the past, but can't seem to get away from the bean tins.
So, here I am, with money burning a hole in my pocket...
Well, first, take a MK1 clio RSi
Then have a look at the ratty, standard exhaust pipe
Make a decision to rip the fucker off :lol: using a 13mm ratchet, a screwdriver, hammer, and some pent up anger
Then, take one shiney Magnex :D
Reverse the above procedure, minus the anger...
Parked up outside the shops, looking ready to drive off with your missus in the car.
I was the goon oggling your motor out of the lowered white MK1 RSi that went passed you
:cool:
Decided to whip my doorstrip badges off tonight and have a little play.
They started like this, black and silver:
Gave them a rub down with some 1200, and painted them gloss white:
Then sprayed some gloss black into the tin lid and used the "touch up brush" to detail the lettering...
Not sure if this will interest you guys, but thought I would throw some pics up.
It's only a stop gap really, as I want a 172........... but might just drop a 172 lump in this instead, lol
When I first picked it up:
Decided to paint the badges black:
and satin blacked the...
