Not that I would condone this but........ Surely if he's that good of a friend he could pass it without it ever going on the ramp? Dangerous for him though, especially if VOSA decided to do a spot check that day!

Strip, clean, deglaze the pads, then re-bed them in and they'll be good as new (if Renault won't sort it of course)

Any ideas when the front brakes were last serviced? The Brembos really suffer if not stripped and cleaned at least annually.

I found it very easy to cancel my Sky subscrition when I moved to Virgin. I told them I was changing to Virgin, and if they could match the package exactly (including the 100mb BB) I would stay with them. Of course they couldn't, so the call lasted about 5 minutes maximum. He did try slagging...

I'm not trying to say there is anything wrong with it, just that £1500 (IMO) is too much for a cat c car. I presume it's been VIC tested (should say on the V5 i think) and that you have informed your insurance company?

Did you see the car prior to being repaired? When did the damage happen? Personally I would have bought one with 80k that doesn't have accident history, mileage is less important to me accident repairs.

I remember the 56k days, I used to work on the premium rate helpline for BT, "calls cost 50pence per minute and will last no loger than 25 minutes blah blah blah" I'm currently with Virgin on the 100mb, but should be 120mb shortly. A 10gb file downloads in about 14 minutes, plus the Tivo box...

Interesting as in overpriced I would imagine!

Do you have Sky or Virgin TV? Virgin already had 4OD, and it's coming to sky in 2013.

Where does it say anything about a 6 month warranty? I'm pretty sure there is no such thing.

Tbh I wouldn't even clock it in the streets, looks just like any other beetle to me. I can see the work that has been put in, and the paintwork looks great though!!

Probably some scrote in a 1.2 trying to make a replica!

Nah, he's just 12 and thinks it's funny.

Moped or something I expect. I still can't see how it's so low. I know postcode makes a big difference, but so does age and experience, which I have a lot more of, and pay the same amount.

I smell a repost!! http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?673329-is-this-the-elusive-petrol-blue-colour

It's a diesel, diesels smoke. I'm going to hazzard a guess at it being black smoke you had? has it had a service recently? does it get used around town only or does it get a good run every now and again? Do the DCI's use any sort of partical filter system?

Might even be wrapped, makign it nice and easy to change back again?

They are awful plates anyway. I say they are doing you a favour! :rasp:

I'm not sure he'll get 16's on will he? I doubt they would fit over the front brakes. Answers to the other questions, yes 225's will fit, and plenty of people run spacers on there 197's/200's

If I was going to be hit by a car, the last thing I would be worried about is the number plate! lol I'd be more concerned about the tonne of metal and plastic ploughing into my legs/head/body at 30 MPH Have they given you a fine or anything?

If you buy genuine parts, it normally comes in the box.

Try running a 197! Mine is currently sat on 20mpg (over the last 100+ miles). For the last week or so i've only driven my 6 mile commute and back and nothing else. It's about 2 miles of normal roads and 4 miles of motorway (1 junction). I'm going to stick a new thermostat in there just to be...

Ahh yes, ignorance is best! lol. That's like saying because the tyre fitter never told you the minimum tread depth was 1.6mm it's his fault you're running a bald tyre!

You need a dipstick to say for defiante, but as long as it isn't reading empty you should be ok. Might be worth adding a couple of hundred ml of oil though.

I'm not moving to a new iPhone from my 4s until they can produce something that is radically improved. The 5 isn't enough of a step up in my opinion, not compared to the latest android and windows phones. I'll be sticking with apple because stuff just works, effortlessly. iPad, iPhone & apple tv...

Just to let you know, cups are rarer than F1's however this does not make them better or worth more, it just means they were less popular!!

Just tell him you've done it today, he sounds like the kind of person that would believe you. At the same time, tell him you have added a supercharger, 2 turbochargers, 2 extra cylnders and you now have 800bhp.

That was very cheap!! Someone got a bargain! I've been toying with the idea of selling mine recently, but wouldn't let it go that cheap. Maybe £5.5k, but it still needs the belts doing.

Also, check with your insurance company before going ahead. Some insurers won't allow modifications of any type until you reach 25 (i'm assuming you are <25?) You don't want to find that you aren't insured a few months down the line!!
