Change all the relays under the bonnet. Immob, fuel pump and something else IIRC. Three of them. http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?428427-Car-won-t-start

Blank off half the rad. Don't leave it idling, just drive it. Keep the revs sensible as you should any car before its warm. Buy a hat :P

Looks amazing when properly clean and in the sun, like a lot of Renault's paints. Black gold looks fantastic in the sun. LY, well... no more needs said. RB.. nice. Monahoe, looks ace !

Good grief. Patience !! RTFM or Google it. Car bulb websites normally have a 'help' section - whack your reg. plate or car make/model in and they will tell you...

If you're already considering putting a sub in, I would say just replace the HU with a nice high-end Alpine unit and ensure it has HPF/LPF. I did this in my old Clio and once the standard door speakers are not doing the bottom end frequencies, they go bloody loud without distorting or amping.

Auto lights - yes. Auto wipers - most annoying feature ever. Turn them off, and DIY. Simples !

Based in Dartford, Mark. Go get them direct... http://www.hispecbrake.co.uk/Clio%20Mk.%202%20280mm%20Billet%204.html

Kept that quiet !!!!

Someone suggested this a while back.. oh wait, that was me...

You turned your van into a smart looking car ! Good work :approve:

Re: Winter Protection Detail - Gtechniq C1/FRP/ASW Content Ect... Minter. For people who haven't got the dollars and necessary training in their sky rocket for C1, look at C2. Approx £20 vs £700 (LOL!) and I probably used 15ml out of the bottle. Even a numpty like myself managed a pretty...

Fair enough, that sounds like the sort of thing it's really designed for. However, you should never need it on a 'normal' journey, if you see what I mean. I've driven a fair few cars, large and small with TC/ESP and it just gets on my nerves. Never owned one with it in 10 years of driving but...

That's awful :( I'm sure re-skinning the roof will be silly money. Not sure if a decent bodyshop could do something with a blob of filler after bashing it out from underneath ? I think I'd 'wrap' the roof afterwards to disguise it as it might be cheaper than paint ?! Obviously I'm no expert...

Black on black ? You're a one trick pony dude ! :rasp: Very nice though.

Don't leave cars ticking over on idle. Not good for it as the oil doesn't get around properly. Take it out for a drive, and get someone (mechanically minded) to follow you and spot colour of and timing of smoke, i.e: when you pull away, or when you give it beans in gear. Blue smoke is oil...

Re: Office. I have used NeoOffice for a while for free... no issues. Lion came along and they are now charging to update... a whole £6 minimum donation ! I can get MS Office through work for ~£9 or something but I did that a while back and it just f**ked me off so much I uninstalled it after...

I'm sure Sash and I will pop along for a beverage or three !

What is the black cutting stuff ? I assumed you had products from CYC / I4D not the wrong end of the range in Halfords :rasp: Sorry..!

Unless your stuff starts with the word 'T-Cut' there should be nothing in it that will turn your new silver paint black !! Just protect it with what you've got, when it runs out, buy some new stuff. Wax for winter, people normally recommend Collinite 476 (or something like that?) as it lasts...

Re: Ford Fiesta Super Sport 1.3 - Enhancement Detail finished with Auto Finesse Spiri What a cracking looking car !!! Nice job as usual Russ... :approve:

Only the new insurance company can answer that. Also, WTF are you doing on comparison websites ?! Waste of time/ money etc. Ring companies up. Specialists. Speak to people not computers. Edit: Just seen your location. Good luck !!!

Depends what you're planning to drive into. If you're considering smashing into curbs etc, you're looking at bent wishbones and possibly further structural damage anyway. The wheel will be the least of your worries ! Better money spent on winter tyres instead IMO and learning to drive...

Bend the top of the door (GENTLY!!!!!) and get something in to pop the handle from inside.

If you want 'raw', get a PH1. If you get bored, stick a Ph2 dash/interior in. A 182 is about as 'raw' as a Korma is a curry (Hi Will.)

Bingo. If you need ESP or TC in a <200HP FWD road car, you got issues.

Poor effort TBH ;)

Interesting !! Will upgrade mine when I move house. Thanks for the hint ! :D Let me know how you get on with the Onkyo 2.1 .. I want one for the new bedroom. Been impressed with my Onkyo AV Amp for the last year hooked up to my KEFs in the front room :approve:

I had Paradas on my Ph1. Epic in the dry, great tyre IMO. Needs a psi or two below book figure to get the best out of them. They're OK in the wet in my experience. Comedy progressive handling which TBH I absolutely loved. 100x better than budgets on the GFs old 182. That was snap happy at...

Hairlairyus. Well the only 27" one on the refurb store was an i3 from about 18 months ago, so I decided that an 2.7 i5 'nano' would do. In the same month I'm moving house, need clutch, timing belt and brakes done on my car too, I can do without spending a grand as it is, let alone what ever...

Thanks for your helpful input, but as mentioned above, I've just bought a new one. Sold my MacBook a couple of months ago as I didn't use it.
