Looks like fun! I'm sure you'll be good at it!

If that had all of it's interior in and a pair of those seats, that would be perfect!

I bought a fully caged (custom cages) 182 she'll and windscreen for £200. I also bought a mk1 caged shell and all panels, for £700. Just to give you an idea.

I wish I wasn't going out tonight. I'd have gatecrashed and brought some beer!

Take the wheels off and clean the backs, clean/dress all the arches, then paint calipers silver?

I replaced this due to the symptoms you described. (on a ph2 172) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Heater-Blower-Motor-Resistor-for-Renault-Clio-172-182-mk2-/221230452675?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&fits=Model%3AClio&hash=item33825ccfc3

If it's a 1.2, i'd buy some cheap (sub £200) coilovers. You can go as low/high as you want then.

Hardly muppets. That's all its worth. If you don't want to take that for it, then you'll have to strip it yourself. If I was you, i'd sell the exhaust (£250+?) and wheels (£250+) then advertise the car with no exhaust on some crappy wheels for £500. I've broken 182's before and it's nothing...

This. I'm a fcuking valeter for goodness sake but I still take my own car to the russians. If I start cleaning it, I end up spending all day on it and getting very upset at the state of it. It's utterly pointless trying to keep it up together as the wife and kids just trash it.

Looks f**king brutal. Love it.

I'm going to Nandos tonight. Wantme to drop you some up?? lol. We'll be there for about 1030/11am tomorrow mate. What time is your race? (iirc, you're parked on the grass bit by Avon Rise?)

I'm not being funny, and you can tell me to mind my own business, but if i'd just spent all that money having a car fully repainted, i'd want the bloke there within 24 hours of me making that phone call. Why has he made you wait 2 weeks??

The picture you posted wasn't a mk1 though. :S

Op, they made that year of Clio with both flame red and cherry red. Cherry red was basically very dark flame red. It's hard to say from a photo, especially viewing it on my phone.

No it's not. Red Scenics only came in flame red or capsicum red.

White grease seems to be the in thing for garages to use when lubricating door hinges, bonnet catches etc.

Diamond motors seems like the best place to go, mick's a VERY knowledgable bloke. But like you said, leave it! It's not affecting the car as such.

Hazard lights doing that mean the UCH is nearing its death. I had the exact same problem!

If it's got a non standard exhaust, my money will be on that. My blue one did it so I packed out the exhaust hangers with two old sockets and it shut up. Got the exhaust sitting perfect too!

Does your Dad have a history of winding you up? Or is he one of lifes worriers?

What can be used to 'dissolve' white grease. I am using the strongest degreaser on the market and a 90 degree hot pressure washer and all it does is smear everywhere. Start polishing a car and a tiny little spot then contaminates my pad/cloth etc and basically ruin my day. Help me please...

I enjoy it though. You should see it now. You'd never know it was fucked, honestly. This isn't what I call work, it's enjoyment! Lol.

Battery sounds fine to me? :S ​I wouldn't mind betting that was TDC sensor related. But I wash cars for a living so don't listen to me.

That is flippin' lovely! I'm not a fan of the wheels, but who cares when it looks that clean and tidy!

What would you deem an acceptable wage to do that Job Andy?

​Please tell me that's not a serious question??

So last week I had a customer tell me about a mondeo he's had in his lock up since September 2011. He left it there because it came in px covered in dog hair, dog vomit, and just general ming. Today I made a good solid start on it but really it's a three day job so i'll come back to it at a...

I'd probably do the same as Mark tbh!

Complete suspension refresh. All refurbed dampers, all new bushes/joints etc, Whiteline rarb, then a proper wheel alignment. Will drive like brand new.

I'm going to be honest with you pickwick, I'm not sure what you're asking??
