What about old ladies? I've destroyed loads of them on the roads, their Honda Jazz's can't cope with the F4R. :evil:

I've kept up with the odd Porsche Boxster driven by fat middle aged men that weren't trying, does that count as a Porsche beater? 911s on the other hand vanish into the distance regardless of what I do with the pedals, I overtook one on the motorway once, I was doing 75 and he was doing...

Yep, as far as I know they're the only ones. You haven't got coins rattling around your car have you, maybe in the handbrake cover?

Plastidip's a tenner. :approve: It's just the fact that you can change the colour without having to be arsed with sanding, primer, paint & lacquer. I'm an incredibly lazy man and this appeals to me, although on my day off i'm off down Halfords to but all of the above, as I feel like doing...

Lol that's what I thought, but it actually says £9.99.

Have you checked your exhaust brackets? Only thing I can think of off the top of my head that might rattle like keys/metal.

Not sure if this has been posted before, but I thought it was worth putting up. Seeing as painting a Diamond yourself takes about £30 quids worth of supplies, £10 quid is quite a cheap deal and if you don't like it you can just take it off...

You want to sell it because it rattles? If it's a Clio i'd be worried if it didn't rattle. ;)

Well I can for some reason, I press the button before I start the car and it stays on after i've fired it up. Maybe it's broken? lol

I don't think i've ever had my esp on, I switch it off before I start the car every time, the last time I left it on was when there was snow on the ground, even then I only used it to pull on to the drive. The more you turn it off, the better your throttle control gets. ;)

I can understand being attached to it, but there'll come a point where you're just pouring money into it when it may be more viable to just get another car. Saying that if my engine blew up, i'd want to drop another one into it as i'm quite attached my car aswell. :o Although if it was cheaper...

If the cost of all the repairs is equal to a cheap replacement car, i'd cut my losses and move on. Depends on what kind of money you're looking at for repairs in relation to a replacement.

Gave it a quick hose down and wiped the filth off the body and wheels, I also put 3 pieces of hose pipe in a little pyramid inside the exhaust bracket, to stop it hanging down too low, my original bodge fell out so I zip tied the buggers in this time.

That is cool as f*ck. :cool:

I'd get one of these, if I had a better job I could afford one aswel as the Clio. :dapprove: Or if I had money to piss away i'd get one like this. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3634679.htm Or an Overfinch Defender. http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/3729194.htm Or one like this...

I left it at home because it wouldn't start this morning, got back from work, took the battery out, put it on charge for about a minute as it was already fully charged. Put it back in the car, it turned over instantly.......Christ knows. :S

When the car's running, it's perfect with no electrical problems, all of it problems in the past and present are on start up. :dapprove: I'll get a multimeter on it and see if the alternator's the problem, then go from there.

The wipers are a little slower with just the ignition on and sometimes the windows are really slow, or do you mean when the headlight are on? I which case no, they work fine. The odd thing is, this is the car i've enjoyed the most, but also had the most problems with, it's like being married...

Bit worried about driving it to work tomorrow now, i've got visions of going back to my car and it not starting. :( I'll try and get hold of a multimeter to check if the alternator's charging the battery, other than that i'll need a grease monkey to look at it. Bloody French, good...

I've not a clue now, just put the battery back in and it fired up using both keys, I swear the cars pissed off with me because it's not been cleaned in a few months, I think the things haunted. Talking to myself FTW!!! ;)

Right it's not the battery, i've hooked that up to a charger and it was almost fully charged, when I tried to start the car this morning, all of the dash lights were flashing on and off and clicking like hell. I've done a search and similar problems by other members turned out to be an...

Turns out it was a flat battery, damn thing was dead this morning even though it's less than 6 months old, knowing my luck it'll be the alternator.

Ahh right, I thought it might be some kind of fancy Renault Sport one. Cracking seats btw. :cool:

I think i'll just say, I don't like it.........and leave it at that.

I like those, gear stick looks different, any pics?

Every now and again when I start the car, all the dash lights come on and the needles die, as soon as the engine's started they all go off and the needles return to normal. I plugged in my RSTuner but there were no faults present, well none that it could find anyway, the car runs fine with no...

Plugged my RSTuner in to find out why my dash looks like Blackpool illuminations on start up, no faults found. :dapprove: Put a piece of hose pipe in the rear exhaust bracket, it no longer dangles below the bumper, I love pikey fixes.:approve:

Bugger all. :( It pissed it down all day so I couldn't clean it or plug in my RST to figure out why the dash looks like a xmas tree on start up. Maybe tomorrow.

Another Mensa member selling a Clio. Although tbqfh, my car's way filthier on the inside, sadly it's not 200bhp though. ;)

Rookie mistake, you should have used bamboo, it's hollow so will cut down on weight.
