Did you get some paint in the end? Anyone know how much this colour is at renault? Or if halfords mix a good match and how much? Thanks Mike

Same happend to me when i was on very poor budget tyres. Since i got rid of them it stopped doing it, so my conclusion is lack of grip?

I poked a hole in the rubber gromit where the bonnet release cable goes, took a while to pierce it but its a nice tight seal.

Advantage with bell over the rest of the admiral group is you can get any other car cover for young drivers.

Well my first year was with quinn, didn't charge anything when i passed but this was arranged when we took out the insurance. Change of car to the clio didnt cost a thing, friendly staff but got a stupidly cheap quote from more than so moved to them.

Surely its the other way around? Anyway, i was concerned about the clutch, so i got it changed (cost £60 in parts, free labour from my uncle) and its exactly the same and the old one wasnt too bad when it came out. Plus it was a PITA to change, subframe has to come off which can be hard work on...

Oops wrong section, can a mod move it pls. Cheers Mike

Can i use my old 15" steely as a spare with my 16" 182 wheels, or should i buy a spare 182 wheel or find a 16" steely (if they exist?). Thanks Mike

Did you prep the badge? Or just spray plastic primer straight on? Look great anyway!

Dads an insurance manager, asked him and he says its a load of crap and refuse to pay. What company is it? Also i agree with the insuring in you own name from day 1, wish i had done it as i would have 2 years ncd now and would be in a 172.

Yer got a filter on for protection mainly, thought it may have something to do with it due to having a glare shadow sort of thing. Will try with it off and a hood next time.

Cheers, didn't know what to google for it really. Hoods seem a popular solution, ive got them but wasn't using them but not sure if they would help in this case? Mike

How can they be avoided? As there wasn't much light around there at the time. Thanks Mike

I am new to phtography and was taking some quick pics of the car today. Got these wierd light reflections on some of the pictures with longer exposures, is it just dirt on the lens or am i doing something wrong, or is it the neighbours light? Thanks Mike

Poor pic but you get the idea

You know when you really hate someone ...............

Saw that but didn't want to hi-jack since my problem seems wierd as i aren't leaking water but seem to be holding pressure now.

Noticed fan was running last night, then today i had lost all my water. Took a lot to fill it up again, then it lost some more, topped up and is now holding up. There are no leaks, its all bone dry under the bonnet and on my drive, my oil level hasn't gone up, dont have any mayonnaise, no...

Depends what you want from a car, the dci is slow but cheap to tax and amazing fuel economy, whereas the 1.2 is faster (still slow :P). Personally i'd be looking at the higher powered dci's which have cheap tax, similar insurance but a bit more power. Shame the 100's seem to be rare atm or i'd...

Sorry, posted in wrong section.

You dont know how tempted i am :eek:

1700 for my car, not bad since i only paid 2K last year!

My uncles got all the equipment to do it, hes a bit of a pt mechanic. Wouldn't dream of doing it myself.

Thanks, nevermind. Will prob get the apex's.

Also how much will they lower it?

Will 172 springs fit, standard ones? because just been offered them cheap. Mike

Agreed Just buy a black one if your that bothered!

It is cheaper to declare on the street with bell, think it must be because if its on drive/garage they know which house to steal the keys from.

I'm wanting to lower my car about 40mm. Looking at these: http://www.europerformance.co.uk/pages/products/product_info.mhtml?product=3665819 Will they be ok for my 1.2 dynamique, do i need to change anything else like shock absorbers, do you get 4 in a pack? Thanks Mike

Looks good mate, gives me an idea of what mine will look like colour coded too which is useful Mike
