    DCi no heat

    By 20 mins running, do you mean idling from cold in <10degC ambient, or driving...? OH's dCi100 takes a lightyear to warm up. Coolant flush and new thermostat if it were mine I think... Drive it harder ;)

    Mail - hotmail synchronisation on macbook

    Ha. People still use Hotmail. This amuses me ! Gmail, IMAP, job done.

    Ticking noise next to the battery.

    Relay I'd think. Immobiliser or fuel pump (or both!?). Replace the lot. They're in a stupid place which collects water. Renault are normally pretty cheap for these, if not, search for RS-online and try them...

    Audi Passat? Ha.

    I like the wheels. Needs dropping on it's arse though. I like the Audi replica front grill/bumper too. Going to put one on the Scoob at the weekend.

    clio 1.2 dynamique, need suggestions!

    Hi, welcome, etc. IK / Exhaust will make noise, but see zero or a negative performance gain, let alone a probable increase in your insurance (I'm assuming you're <20). If you've got no idea what to do, why not do nothing. Put fuel in, drive it. Not trying to be negative, just most...

    iMac HDD died ?

    Aye. Didn't realise quite by how much though ! Wondering what to do next. Wait til HDDs are cheaper and then replace it, whip it out and replace it now/soon, sell it as is, or sáns HDD, or just set fire to it all and carry on with my evening

    May be worth getting your mot done before January

    How can they tell there is anything inside the pipework though ? Some de-cats look like normal cats (to me anyway) as they are not just a straight through pipe, there's a bulbus part of them if that makes sense. It may well be hollow but without removing it (about a 14 hour book time job...

    iMac HDD died ?

    Erm, from the DVD I think.. it eventually decided it did need a repair, and then after about 3 attempts, repaired it. Reset it, after it asked where I wanted to boot from, and it asked me to re-load Lion. Wireless then wouldn't connect and it crashed. Rebooted again, and it went into OS X...

    iMac HDD died ?

    Hokay .. So, after a month of sitting in a box, iMac 1.0 still refuses to play nice. Disk utility - verify disk gives me the following issues: 'Invalid directory item count (it should be 32476 instead of 32477) checking attributes... blah blah ...the volume iMac HD needs to be...

    Engine, getting the most from your 172 Lump

    Best thing I did was a set of matched inlets (on top of s/s exhaust, decat and filter) to release the bottom end of the revs. Before inlets were done, it was gutless under 3k, 3-4.5 was ok, then 5 it took off. After, it pulled freely from 1500RPM. Forced induction is the only really good way...

    Headlight problem...

    It's the plastic reacting to the UV. Check out the guide on here (somewhere). Polish it out, should be reet :approve:

    Pressure washers, which should i buy?

    I got a £35 one (own branded) from Hellfrauds mainly as it was the same fitment to my lance after moving out of the 'rents place, and it was cheaper than buying a new lance. It's been fine for the last year :o

    Freezing MBP

    Mine does this too. Sometimes up to a minute out of 'sleep', screen comes on but it just sits there frozen. It's 3 weeks old... I'm just living with it for now as it's not really the worst thing ever. If it gets worse, or I get fed up I'll take it back.

    Ok, So who on here has had my Clio 182 before me? Plate starts with KP04?

    Velcro plates FTW. "Well, Officer, I didn't want my identities stolen, so I keep them in the boot. Safer, innit."

    Winter Tyres

    I'm just planning on seeing what happens. If it's heat waves and BBQ weather in Jan, I'll swap back. If it's cold wet and miserable through til March, I'll leave them on.

    Dent Removal

    Pop the door card off and see if you can have a go yourself. Not rocket science, is it ? ;) [PS: What's a dint ?]

    Do I need an adapter for my headunit?

    Halfords will do them, I might have one kicking about somewhere, but TBH I'm never going to find it when I need it !

    Glowing hot brake discs.... normal?

    Next time you do a few miles of normal driving, check to see if the discs feel hot. You could have a sticky calliper, but my guess is that could be a lack of brake cooling and hours of hammering around a race track ;)

    dilema selling track spec 172 need advice plese pm e

    APRIL FOOOLLSSS..... Oh, wait, what ? You can't call labour 'adding value' on to a car. If that was the case, every car out there would be an appreciating asset from the day it left the factory. Another person who has built a track car and never been on track. Unsurprising TBH. How (and...

    New Clio wheels?

    Similar to a 2118, but with less spokes... Might look ace on a mk2 in 17" but probably not. 16s are a tad too big IMO.
