Bumps trips? :S I take it you mean bump strips lol, anything with a smooth surface will need keying mate, it helps the primer stick.

So many people are having this problem at the moment, including me. I'm almost convinced it's the starter motor, but reading your posts has worried me now, mine only has the relay clicking in the morning or after it's been left to sit for a few hours. I'll keep an eye on this thread in the...

Well it's nice whatever it is, it looks like Rover stone grey tbh.

The first thing i'd do is spend £20quid down your local tyre place for a wheel alignment, it may just be that simple mate. It's only £20quid and it will either eliminate the problem, or rule it out so you can look elsewhere.

Looks nice mate, what colour is that?

When was the last time you had a wheel alignment, and have you checked that the top mounts aren't loose?

No knocks, bangs or rattles? That can't be right, must be the only 172 in history that doesn't. ;)

Have you rang him and asked when the last time the belts were done?

Yes, the boot lock just pushes and pulls a metal rod, so if you climb into the back you can push or pull it yourself. (can't remember which one opens) If you have a spare day or afternoon, you can get all the spraying and lacquering done and refit it same day, you just have to be very careful...

The colour I used on my diamonds and bullets was Rover Stone grey, it's the closest match for Renault Anthracite. What colour is your car?

Make sure you buy plastic primer though, I bought normal primer and it worked but plastic primer will do a better job. Have you sprayed stuff before?

Ah right, my bad.

Danny at 519 repaired an engine where the dephaser had shredded itself, the last time I was there he told me he'd never seen one fail quite like that. The pics are on here somewhere.

If they were inside that thing, I can't believe anyone survived long enough to be taken to Hospital, judging by the state of it you'd think the only way of getting a body out of that is with a sponge. :S

I was in heavy traffic on the A46 today coming home from work, getting all worked up and frustrated when I realised at any moment I could easily have a crash and be seriously injured or worse, it made me calm down and increase the distance from the car in front. It's scary how quickly things...

I even removed the boot lock as I wanted to colour code the button, pretty simple really, an afternoons work i'm quite proud of.

Mate it is honestly so easy. Just undo the screw on the inside of the boot by the interior handle recess, pull hard on the plastic cover on the inside and it will just pop off, then undo the 3 nuts holding on the rear diamond section, then pull it off from the outside.....done! I've recently...

Holy sh*t that looks bad, got to be some fatalities there. :( Unless they rear ended the Passat, got out, then the car was destroyed by another vehicle, hope so or a family out there is in for a bad year.

Ok nice one, i'll have a look at it tonight and keep you informed should I need some advice.

I'm going to have to get under thing to try and see where it's coming from, it could just be a cracked hose that finally given up.

This morning i've found a small patch of coolant under the rad, it wasn't doing it yesterday, it's literally started over night. :dapprove: So that's something else that need sorting before the 9th, I thought the thing was ready seeing as it's just had new tie rods & track rod ends. I'm...

Discovered that over night it's decided to start leaking coolant from somewhere at the front. :dapprove: Hopefully it's just a perished hose that given up due to the heat.

That is pretty cool, but red MX5s just remind me of this.

Renault diamonds the size of my alloys make me sad, although I will admit I wouldn't really care about it if I had that noise in my life.

That's one hell of a f*cking noise the thing makes!! :evil: Although I don't think Renault will be happy until the front Diamond on their new cars is the size of a dustbin lid. :S

Great vid looks like you lot had an amazing time. :approve: Christ awful music though!! :S

Mines got 85k on the clock and it's got most of those mods, it must be worth at least £4.5K ;) That means in 5 years it hasn't depreciated at all!! :D

^^^Something else I want, so many mods, so little money. :dapprove:

I think the LFA and the Zonda are the only two super cars i've never seen in real life. Impressive machine.

If you can get cheap cup shocks from a mate i'd go with that for the time being, as long as they're in good condition you're good.
