I feel for you, such a stupid thing to happen. I'm pretty sure the garage is obliged to clean any spills up immediately, but it never happens! I agree with the pedals looking good but they can be a pain. I find it a bit even if i just been raining never mind diesel!
Seems ridiculous that its...
Well there is a monaco I keep seeing around and about, same one. Thought it might be you but maybe not! Shame you had to sell mate :dapprove:
Yeah the plate is pretty cool, it came with the car. Would never have bought it myself but now I got it I kinda like it!
Yeah could have been me, been all over the place this week and seen loads and loads of clios, think I may have seen you, but near oadby on the A6?
Cheers.
Cheers, I agree it just looks right with one fitted. Had to wait for a budget splitter to become available before I got one! I have become such a pikey :eek:
Can't wait to get some money and buy some coilovers and get it slammed like yours! Hopefully they will make a vast improvement, to...
Gave the cup a quick wash yesterday. This afternoon I fitted my new Skoda splitter, made a real hash of it and had to re-fit parts of it a couple of times and still need to trim the ends properly, but I am pretty happy with the result. Feel it finally makes the car look complete!
Anyway went...
Might be the top mounts, mine does it a bit turning the other why and its quite comman apparently. But i wouldn't say mine sounded like you described so maybe not! Sorry I'm no more help!
Re: Keying tw*t
Ha Ha, they are shorts and yes I really need a hair cut (although the pic makes it look worse!)!! I knew i shouldn't have put the 1st pic in!!!
Completely, don't think its going to be to bad to sort out. Feel sorry for the other people. Our neighbours are in the process...
Woke up this afternoon with a great day planned, washing car, fitting new splitter, going for a drive etc... Only to find my drivers side window had been keyed. While I was checking the rest of the car for damage the local bobby turned up and had a look, took some photos etc...
We got talking...
Excellent, can't wait to see the finished product. Its going to be a bit of a monster! I can't remember if you have decided to or not but any plans for a LSD?
They tend to leak gearbox oil and from what people say its pretty normal for a Renault!! Mine leaks really badly. Apparently its from the gear selector, it may just have pooled slightly in your case and when you undid the bolt the oil has found a way out. I wouldn't worry too much about it...
Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Door popper and respray soon!)
20 quid says that as soon as you wire it up you flick the rear wiper on by accident when your on the motor way or something!! But it will be wicked!
Your painting it brown, thats how it will feel from now on!! :rasp:
Excellent thank you, had forgotten that i had that info downloaded on my comp already! oops!:o
Will try it with out washer for now and see how it goes!
Thanks,
Will
Just fitted new k-tec engine mount as my old one was buggered.
It seemed pretty easy to do but need to check a few things before i take her for a spin.
Should there be a washer or something on here before the nut goes on? To me it looks like it should have one! Also what is the torque...
This is true, 1st will hold it on a hill, im pretty sure any gear will. I barely use my hand brake.
I can't explain why it happens, i read up about it once but i have forgotten it!
Might be a bit obvious but def worth a check with regards to a the vibration and grinding, but check all the wheel bolts are tight.
From what you say it does sound like engine mounts, I snapped part of mine the other day and if i pull away in any other way than like an old lady then it knocks...
Re: Possible new splitter found!!
I would call them and see if they will post it to you, can't see it being to much of a problem! As I said above the dealership I went to were very helpful.
Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
Sounds like a plan!
If this works out will you keep it? Also have you thought bout trying to get the whole popper and door unit from a tvr at a scrappy? might be cheaper?
Re: cleaned/euro mk2 phase 1 (Now for sale)
Are you looking for another golf or are you open to other ideas?
If you want a golf this looks pretty good, http://www.pistonheads.co.uk/sales/1579839.htm
Other than that, don't think you could go wrong with another clio, maybe a 172/cup.
Actually...
