    My new non-silver non-ph1.

    I could easily see 45 on my ph1 (on a sensible 60-70ish run). Managed 65 miles at 49mpg once thanks to the traffic. Housemate's one was normally +1 or 2 compared to mine as his was stripped. Could also see 28 driving like a clown on short journeys. Anyway lets not open another debate on MPG ;-)...

    My new non-silver non-ph1.

    So, the scoob is causing me issues again, and having no car drives me mental... After searching the internet for a whole week for a mint low milage modified Ph1 172 which was NOT silver, I popped t'countryside today and happened upon a completely standard Ph2. Here's one awful photo...

    swapping tyres from standard wheels?

    Probably. Ring a few places dude.. no one here can tell you what your local garage charges.

    swapping tyres from standard wheels?

    I'm sure you'll get a reasonable price on the tyres, but they'll "notice" you need a new exhaust, your brakes are shot and your engine needs re fluxcapacitoring and demand the lot is done.

    swapping tyres from standard wheels?

    HA ! A garage / tyre fitter / generic highstreet 'quick fit'ting establishment will be able to swap your tyres from one set of wheels to another. How much they may charge is up to them if they didn't supply the rubber. There's a mobile guy near me who comes to you (well not you as you're in...

    Calling all Thugs... Fast innuff!

    Tupac, is that you ? The guy's a genius. Bored a 1.8 out to 1.9 .. Something more practical than a 5 door saloon ? :S Should have left it alone when it was standard.

    RB Night shoot

    Oh yes, they are just fine, but tighter aperture will give you nicer star bursts on the lights instead of a massive glow. Like I said, give it a go and see what you think. Nothing to lose and not taking anything away from your pics :)

    Very well spotted... The sport needs moving to a right-justification in line with the RENAULT. Someone's obviously pressed centre by accident haha!

    RB Night shoot

    Over exposed > 2 seconds ? Looking at your light bursts, I'd say these were at F8 or below....? 2 seconds ?! Really ? Can you link me to one of the photos on flickr, chap ? :) Try a much tigher aperture.. like F16 or 22. Set the camera to aperture mode, set it to Iso 100 and F22, then let...

    Stripped, caged, buckets. FAO M.O.Ters??

    As your harnesses are pretty fantastically dangerous .. answer me this ..: did you bolt your seat to the floor from the top, or your floor to the seat from underneath ? the correct answer is the second one BTW. bald / flat spare wheel = fail .. no spare wheel = nothing to fail on.. pass ...

    Macbook pro factory reset?

    When you format the HDD, you can do a 1, 2 or a (hilariously OTT) 7 pass zero out of the entire disc. Tin foil hat must be worn at all times when completing the 7-pass zero out for the sake of national security. Worth it if you're remotely worried about security !

    1 owner phase 1

    Well spotted that man.... (farking siiilverrrrrrr FUUUUUUU........) Probably owned by someone like my Mum for the last 10 years. Never been warmed up, over 3k or driven properly in its life. Will be on fire the first time it hits 70 on the M'way. /cynic.

    Bosch aero blades upside down

    Did you get generic x inch blades, or a clio specific pack ? Remember that the Clio's wiper swing goes the wrong way to most UK cars......

    steering wheel shaking?

    If you want a job done properly .. do it yourself ;-) Buy a torque wrench, and a 17/19mm socket (whichever fits your car). Torque wrenches are awesome man-tools !

    Standard Headunit Radio not saving

    Do as suggested above, swap the R/Y wires over. Should be bullet connectors. Renault here are proving my point before I've begun... It appears 99% of their staff know NOTHING. Be it about fuses as they dont rate them by voltage (clearly if the fuse had blown it wouldn't work anyway at any...
