My sidelight bulbs have been in for about 12 months so far, no issues to date. They arent the cheapest on eBay, but they arrive quickly and i'm fairly certain its a guy that's runs Meganesport.net
Really no need to spend that much on the LED's for the sidelights. Something from eBay (I always use the seller: partsulike_co_uk for my LED's).
No need for canbus bulbs, regular LED's will be fine. As long as you stick to a white light (nothing above 4300k) you will be fine. The higher temp...
Well, apart from the fact that the current contents of the cooler will enter the sump, meaning that the level won't change. Much the same way as your coolant does!
So, from the above extract the service intervals are as follows:-
oil & filter 2 years or 12k miles
cabin filter 2 years or 12k miles
air filter 2 years or 24k miles
spark plugs 36k miles
brake fluid 4 years or 72k miles
timing any aux belt 6 years or 72k
coolant...
As above, it depends on the insurer. My wife has 2 none fault claims. First one being a neighbour hit her parked car, second was a rear end shunt. It has increased her premium in the past, but only by £15-20.
Although a none fault claim, you still have to declare it come renewal time. It's...
Spotted this morning @ junction 28 of the M1 about 07:45. Talking on the phone on the approach to the roundabout from South Normanton - tut tut tut!
Dissapeared off down the A38 towards Sutton-in-ashfield.
Stage 3 on mine, I expect I'm at about 290bhp and 350lb-ft at the moment. Don't bother with stage 2 if fitting an intercooler - go straight to 3.
It's the exhaust holding me back now, Intake isn't needed until you are going for 320+ as the oe is fine. I'm just running a k&n panel and ECU...
You can MOT your car up to 30 days before it expires (and essentially get a 13 month MOT). So Unless the garage you use has a 4 week waiting list then you have no excuse.
I'll 100% guarantee it will need more than just the belts. On that mileage the bottom ball joints will be getting ready (£200 at the lowest, £700 at Renault prices) Top engine stabiliser will be worn (£50+) front brakes will be in desperate need of stripping and cleaning (free if you can do it...
Not a good buy in my opinion.
No history for the first 4 years of its life, belts are 2+years over due. As long as you are prepared to spend £1k+ on it as soon as you buy it then you'll be ok.
Better out there to be honest.
Atmospheric dump valves don't really work well on modern turbo lumps, add to that that they sound terrible - it's a bad idea!
Upgrade the OE recirc valve to a forge item or similar and you should get a little extra sound, I certainly have on the lolvo, especially combined with the upgraded...

The law only states
1) be over 21
2) be qualified to drive the type of vehicle you want to learn in
3) Have their full icence for 3+ years
She'll be fine!
Only write offs would show on HPI, it could have been damaged and not gone through insurance.....
Of course, the colour change could be purely down to choice and nothing sinister at all!
