When I passed my test at 18 my mum had a micra that was due for replacement, how I talked them into getting a 106 Xsi I don't know! Had some great fun in that little car. I had a mint 106 gti too, bought brand new in 98, China Blue, great car that my mum took over when I went abroad! I'm older...

I went to the last one, only saw a couple of renaults. First one of been to since selling my megane in 2008. I've never been to Newby Hall so might check the date on that one.

I lived on Rose court. Do you guys not go to the cars in the park at Temple Newsam?

Maybe worth starting a new Yorkshire register? This one looks a bit dated.

Hi Sean, that looks like you got a good buy. Sounds like you've got a good plan for it, look forward to seeing it progress. [emoji106]

I'm from Garforth originally, not been back in many years though. It's the Podger still running? I crawled home from there many a time! P. S. Add me to the list too.

I've been slacking and have too much to do, no go for me I'm afraid. There's a guy from these parts who competes in a liquid yellow 5 GTT, look out for him.

Plans didn't last long did they? No fiddling, just replace when needed, turini's bought and off to paint! You'll need to replace the springs next then, and probably the map, maybe the inlet as there's a group buy ongoing atm. This is going to be a good read, I can just tell!

I'd swap a grand Picasso for a racing puma any day!

33mpg, 8 miles + 13 roundabouts and 10 mins motorway at 50mph! EML is on and stay well away from 5k rpm until belts are done next week!

The more I read about this the more I suspect my 182 is such equipped. Mines nothing like a 172 I looked at which was very lumpy when cold and had a big kick at 5k. This was supposed to be a standard car with a stainless exhaust, I suspect an induction kit was fitted to a the airbox feed pipe...

Looking at the websites it seems long life and powerflow are one and the same. https://www.longlife.co.uk/about-us

Hope you figure it out, if not probably best not to put the 4 pots for sale on here [emoji23]

They use of the shelf silencers and pipes /bends and build it on your car. I think they give lifetime guarantee too. It's worth looking into as your only other option is probably a shiny tailpipe bolt on from halfords!

^ do that. I had one on a Bravo HGT (stop sniggering!) cost £300 and the 5 pot motor sounded amazing with it.

Did you swap the master cylinder? If it was pulling before the 4 pots went on then there was an issue before, probably amplified by the 4 pot power. If it pulls again with the standard calipers then you'll know that the 4 pots are just making it worse.

We've all been there. Hopefully it will sell on here and get a restoration. Credit to you for keeping hold of it for so long, longest I've owned a car is 5 years adn that was a crappy diesel auto!

Just goes to show that one owner cars aren't necissarily the best out there, no offence Gambler.

Do that. It woud be foolish to expect to find a really good one cheap, so best to buy a cheap one and make it good.

If it was that long ago then it must have been a decent repair. Somebody has loved it since.

I can confirm that it's on 195/45 Pilot Sport 3 all round. After crawling underneath today I can also confirm the cxhaust has a slight blow from the centre box and some hammerite is needed where a jack has removed some of the seal. Gave it a vac and the front seats need attention as they have...

True, but if you know the car has had a repair any colour mismatch is going to play on your mind. And is not like LY is an easy or cheap colour to have done again!

The front wing doesn't match the door in 3rd pic. £2k though, it might still be worth a punt.

I hope they do another offer in the summer. I'm sure there will be lots of bits I've worn out by then!

I'll have to do some decorating to get a Sunday off! If the young uns not playing football I'll fetch him along.

Just had mot with no advisories so they should be OK. If its not raining at weekend I'll have the wheels off and give some bits a wiggle.

I'm new too so would be up for a meet. Think my car needs lowering so would be interested in riding in some lowered cars to feel what the ride is like.

Yeah it has xenons, that's another thing to add to the list then. Thankfully there not pointing too high. Discs and pads look ok, it only does it for a couple of seconds when going really slow. Cheers, I'm not sure what profile the rubber is, what was the standard size fitment?

Was my Clio's birthday yesterday, 11 years old[emoji512] [emoji322] Looking forward to many more together.

Had a long run out at over the bank holiday and the car ran great, next day the emissions light has come on! Might have to book in at my trusty local garage for investigation. Spring is finally here and upon leaving work at 4:30am the car was frozen over. Fired her up to defrost and noticed my...
