    Cheers dude. I was thinking about the mounts and subframe to protect them mostly, I am concerned this is going to turn into a shiney engine bay etc, with a dirty diesel engine lol. I think I'll paint the bits now for protetion, then worry about it later, too much else to worry about atm.

    Or go to a specialist, should be cheaper. Or a autolocksmith. Ebay keys are £20 and good quality, then programming, you can swap the keyblade obviously.

    AlexW's Driveway Antics :)

    And thats the rear mount done, pretty solid. Towed home, now I need to work outdriveshafts, and then strip loads of bits so I can paint, or powdercoat them. I need to do something about the Subframe and engine mounts so thinking about powdercoat, although I think that'll start a bad run of...

    Yeah sorry I didn't reply to your text, will do so now. Is indeed your old subframe, hope I dont f**k it up. It is pretty solid actually, concerned about vibration now.

    No update on the RB yet, waiting for the box back from Agency. But, this weekend means a good update for my Clio at last. Towed it down my mates workshop, and got to work. Pulled engine out, changed inlet and exhaust manifolds, re-assembled everything, but I'll be changing the turbo yet...

    How much do you top up fuel a week?

    lol at others with DCi's, I was filling mine up every week lol. the 1.9 is going to be just as bad, if not worse.

    Reverse Light sensore?

    Reverse switch is accesible via the N/S, remove wheel, and its to the left of the driveshaft.

    brake problem!

    Its Brakes, not breaks. Calipers/carriers/shims probably need cleaning, and then lube so they don't rattle.

    front fog light problem!

    Replace, you can try and seal it, but it'll keep coming back.

    My Flame Red 172

    For one of those, I agree lol.

    My Flame Red 172

    No real need for that tool really. Clio calipers wind back easily.

    This for Kyle? I remember him asking I think?

    The confusing world of xenon/projector retrofits

    Looked into this when I had my motorbike, decided it was too mugh of an arse and just fitted a HID kit into the standard headlights and aimed them properly. Buy a spare set of headlights and dive in at the deep end, keep this/A thread updated though, could be interesting/helpful for others.

    Starting problems

    does it bump start?

    How much do you top up fuel a week?

    If you're doing that little miles and are worried about fuel consumption, whats up with your life. If I did less than 6k a year, I'd have a much better car than a 182, Something that does single figure MPG's.

    My old Clio 200. Someone buy it!

    Wouldn't surprise me if it was for one of the motorhomes they have/had, well towards it anyway.

    My old Clio 200. Someone buy it!

    Ha, I was there the other day. I wonder how they got it, Will have to ask if I'm in there again soon.

    Most embarrassing car you've owned?

    I don't care what people think, so not been embarrassed. I've had a couple of Bad cars, but generally just tatty and falling apart.

    Shh you. Gazebo and manning the f**k up.

    AlexW's Driveway Antics :)

    Yeah, as below, its obviously been like it the whole time, and although I've driven this car, I guess I didnt look for it. Too right I need a unit, I'm sort of it on it, but I don't want to be spending like £300 a month really. :D Keeps be busy and sort of off the street lol You're welcome...

    AlexW's Driveway Antics :)

    Not a huge update here. Have progressed a little further on my build, not a huge amount, mostly just buying stuff. I did mock up my 300mm calipers... I didn't think I'd have any clearance issues, and I was damn right, loads of space! Also mocked up/worked out where to fit my oil cooler. Its...

    tint or not

    Mine are tinted, but previous owner did it, and it doesn't look stupid being Flame Red. Infact the fronts were tinted when I bought the car, which were removed instantly, just doing the rear three is legal, fronts are already as tinted as they can be.

    AlexW's Driveway Antics :)

    Hit it. Can solve a dodgy relay, but probably not in this case I admit lol. I think its unlikely to be aircon related, or even the ECU really. Certainly is a fucker, As said though, I'll have a quick chat to a couple of people, who are more up on VW's than I am and see what they say. And...

    AlexW's Driveway Antics :)

    Im hoping I can just use the Laguna loom. Need to check wiring diagrams/strip looms, or just do as you said... I also need to decide what to do on the ECU front. LOL, If it was a Clio, I'd have told you exactly how to fix it, and why it has fucked up. Hell, if it was any Renault really, Even a...

    AlexW's Driveway Antics :)

    Yeah was doing some investigating on the wiring last week or whenever it was. Will hopefully make a start on that properly soon. Its actually going to be miles away from the boot, with the engine in the correct location (tilted a bit) its even further away. Ive decided its going to be pretty...
