Seems pretty normal at this time of year to get steamed up windows - no? I know every car I've owned has had steamed up windows in the mornings in Autumn/winter, never thought of it as a problem. 30 seconds with the climate control on (it's always on anyway) and all is good.

RCS have them at £660 for the gearbox, then you are looking at about what Dan has said for fitting. You really should factor in the cost of a new clutch and slave cylinder too. http://www.renault-spares.co.uk/new-renault-clio-sport-197-rs-200-20-16v-gearbox---tl4-024-tl4024-7330-p.asp

99.9% of the population won't a) notice. or b) give a s**t. Just go with whichever you like best. Personally I prefer the left option, but only because it looks 'cleaner'.

Oh - quick repair update. The boot lid stopped opening last Thursday evening (I was in the supermarket car park at the time, ended up having to squeeze the pushchair onto the back seat!). Decided to take a look on Saturday morning. Using VIDA I checked the switch was working - it was, next I...

@Dr Jekyll I have changed it and theirs no need to disconnect the battery mate. It's inside the car, you get to it from the passenger side footwell. I'll get you a picture if you need one?

Not sure if serious? As soon as you jack the other side it will put the first rear wheel back on the ground. Most cars do this if you jack them high enough. Hell - even my Volvo does it! 2 jack/axle stands is all you need.

It really needs diagnosing by someone with CLIP. General code readers aren't accurate enough to isolate the problem. It does sound like you have an issue with power to the VVT solenoid, however tracing that fault is going to be hard without the correct tools for the job. If theirs no power going...

Auto trader has it down as a Cat C, not D as the advert says. Also, a reg check comes back with the registration date as 20/05/2009 which seems odd.

What makes you say that? The reg on the car in the pics is MX57 ZDZ, which would fit with the year etc.

Would there be any interest in a dyno day? We've used Dynotech in Ripley a few times and it's over a year since the last one (I think?) Happy to go elsewhere if folk would prefer, I just like using them as that's the only place my car has been dyno'd so I trust the figures (well I trust the...

Won't work, it'll ask for the original Apple ID to be verified before it will allow it.

How do you know the springs and shocks are ok? I had a knock from the front of my car recently, turned out to be my brand new Koni shock absorber and couldn't tell without removing it and wobbling the shaft (lol) I had very similar symptoms to what you are describing.

Does the account not show anywhere on the phone? If I go into iCloud for instance it tells me which account I'm logged in with, same with iTunes and App store. Failing that, has it ever been synced with a PC? The PC may still hold the Apple ID details in Itunes.

Just go through the reset process for the apple ID? https://iforgot.apple.com/applied Without getting the apple ID I don't think you will ever get round this. It was something apple introduced a couple of years ago.

Yep, that's likely to need a new thermostat.

I love Plex. That is all.

Just down the road from me that is. Happy to go stake it out if you want to know anything about it. Chris

My 12 month old Samsung is far from clunky and has a perfectly useable interface. It's far better than the atv3 that I had before. Some of the additions to atv4 sound good, but not good enough to make me buy one again.

Still struggling to see the need for these. Most Smart TV's offer apps etc now. What are you gaining with this Mick that you don't already have with your tv (unless you don't have a smart TV of course?)

That seems VERY cheap, you sure that's a 205/45/16?

As above - sold as seen blah blah blah. Had I just bought a car privately I wouldn't think of going back to the former owner should an issue arise!

It's the 197/200 that has a cat in the manifold. Don't go there again!

Similar setup, not identical

The self centring was more of a Megane issue was it not? I've not really heard anyone complain of that on a 197/200 but plenty have had balljoints go (myself included) mine were just noisy when they went.

My advice would be ask them to not go through insurance. You'll be able to repair that for not a lot of money I would imagine. Also, remember even though it's none fault, a lot of insurers still increase policies. It's wrong, but they do.

Front bumper isn't standard either, or at least the number plate location isnt

It, not she! :tongueout: Loving your MK1, there must be so few of these now. Not keen on the chaved up MK2 though. Put it back to standard, it'll be worth more and appreciated more by others (imo)

What will stop you being able to do track days? Surely you won't be working 7 days a week 52 weeks a year! You have to have time off!

Could be the bead on the wheel is corroded or not seated, hairline crack in the wheel, a slow puncture. It could be allsorts and there's no way of diagnosing on the internet. If you have a container big enough to fit the wheel in you could dip it in water to see where the air is escaping...

We Volvo drivers do have our uses occasionally!
