Link? Don't worry, found it. Cheap!

Currently we have; 525i estate for the wife and kid duties. A Clio dci for work for me. Next for the wife will be an X5 or a new shape CRV. Next for me will hopefully be a 197.

A quick search on here shows it was flood damaged and had a second hand engine fitted in 2013.

Lol, our financial situations are so far apart! You ordered AST's today, last week I bought a second hand shock for £10. LOL!

We just both use my Clio if we're on our own/doing any running around. It's so cheap to run that it could balance out a Veyron! Yeah Euro have fucked up my last two oil filters. One for the mini and one for the Clio. Never had an issue with them before so hoping it's a one off!

I'm back in the 6 cylinder BMW club now boyo! Feels good to be back. (The fuel consumption doesn't feel so good though...) How did you get on with the spark plugs? I did them on my 330 E46 and one of them was a right t**t to do!

Yes you said. But what model?

I've only ever seen a false reading as a way if determining a faulty sensor. Never seen one just go blank.

What model is it?

Grab a pic and post it up

You're fine. They're cosmetic trims only.

J's auto electrical in Bristol. Been using him for about 10 years.

That's a UCH fault for sure. ^^ I got mine repaired, cost me £45 all in. (£25 for a used UCH, £20 for an auto electrician to swap the damaged part over with some epic soldering skills)

I read that as £190, plus the £100 as a deposit.

How much does Snappy charge?

Did you pcp it in the end? What you doing with your Beemer?

I love F-types! Sadly I don't like red. Or convertibles. Or those wheels. But I do like Jag F-Types.

If it was a disabled driver, I can't imagine lower and stiffer suspension was a concern of theirs.

It was in Freds report.

If that is indeed VO54FFS, it's got the wrong engine in it. And under the dash has been chopped about to accommodate disability controls. Wish your friend luck from all at CS.net.

Mine was GU60UBW. I bloody loved that car.

Aha, so you have a Clio 200 with cup pack. (Red calipers, better suspension and iirc, a quicker steering rack) Much better to have that than a proper Cup with no creature comforts.

Is it an actual 200 cup or a 200 with cup pack? (Apologies if that sounds patronising) Cups have manual mirrors, no 60/40 split rear seat, black plastic side strips and mirrors. Air con was also an option.

Looks to have been modded, gloss black mirrors and colour coded side strips? Lovely either way. I had a storm grey cup in 2010.

That's all well and good but considering most belt failures are due to the tensioners seizing, it's a pretty pointless effort.

On a V6 I'd take a bet that a coil is about to s**t itself.

I just thought 'Christ, that's the most oil free engine I've ever seen'.

Trophy all day long.

My mates dad (who came and bought your ramp) said back in the day, he was buying mk1/mk2 escorts for £80-100 and selling them on for £250-300. And lots of them. Said it's his biggest regret not keeping any of them.

We use autosmart clay cloths at work. New Gen BMW paint is ludicrously soft and these mits don't leave marring.
