Just restarted and its back to normal :S Doing a backup to my memory stick now in case it happens again. I just want to make it work, reinstall/repair, all the same to me haha!

Cheers garf, MR Cake (lol) Matt, tried that but doesnt seem to actually do anything, no progress bar etc. Would that be because it is in safe mode?

I've read on here that the sports are twice as much for the same parts! So you got both sides for £72, or £72 a side?

same as my laptop, this is the first problem though. so reinstall vista from the disc? will this make me lose all of my pics etc on the computer?

When i put the vista disc in i get 2 options: check compatibility online install now not sure what you mean by recovery console!?

I have a dell disc 'drivers and utilities' and the vista 'operating system' one of those what you mean? i am a complete r****d when it comes to computers so any help would be awesome :)

How much was the new kit mate? Did you buy the specific sport one, or the cheaper 1.2 kit?

Just turned my laptop on and it will only start in safe mode :S I can't get restore to work, anyone got any ideas?!

Bit of a tangent, but any chance you have some info/pics on where you are fitting the harness to, ive literally just put a thread up about it. Try local iron monger places, or tool shops.

I'm thinking of fitting a drivers harness, 4 point, but not sure where I can mount the 2 lap belt bits... I was thinking I could mount one underneath the passenger seat between the subframe and the floor, would that be ok? Not sure where I would fit the other side though?

Worth it all day long i reckon. If this was a year on when I'm 21 I would have that, no doubt about it. Shame insurance still want circa £3.5k :(

Nope, i leave mine doing this every morning, never locks.

Was gonna facefuck you earlier mate, s**t about the car :( I told you mate, it's because im ginger! I'm hoping for around £1.2k when i renew in may too ;)

Can't find anything using the search, too many results with no info. Anyone know prices from Renault for the above parts please. Also, anyone know exhaust mount prices?

The exhaust mounts didnt work as well as i hoped! They both slipped loose during some playing ealier on today in the snow. Just been under the car for an hour trying to bodge then on again for now, well annoyed :( Think im just gonna go and buy some brand new ones, and try and re-enforce...

The ugliest and most pointless car on the planet! Work looks good quality, but hideous overall!

Will help if you try and pull the exhaust to the rear of the car. Use something to pry it out with too, screwdriver etc?

Looks like it held up well though, a lot of force to move the boot floor like that and the cabin looks immaculate. Obviously needs a whole new boot floor welding in which won't be cheap, i think on my previous clio that got hit it was around £1800 for the floor and labour....

Don't need them mate. All you need is a small amount of pressure on the top plate as you remove the nut from the top of the shock. I've done a fair few including my own so i know from experience.

I'd keep the spare rears as they are prone to going so will make it easier when they do. I would be surprised if the shocks are any different to be honest, I didnt notice hardly any difference between a cup's and non cup'd 182, which i would put down to the slightly (literally 2mm) lower height.

Have to get it machined out mate, think there is a 2mm difference. Only thing is, do you get the top or bottom hole machined in order to keep it to the same dimensions as a true cup setup. Just change the springs, easier.

^? They've been on for around 4 months i think. I've fitted springs to someone elses car last week if thats what you mean?!

I just used some car shampoo mate. I copper clipped them when fitted, and also given them a few squirts with WD40 so it all came off fairly easily with some warm water.

Theres some bloke in the UAE that has a solid silver Audi A8, along with about a dozen Phantoms.

^ where from? Looks like I wont be getting AST's then!

Previous owner bought a cat c and had cup suspension on the front, he couldnt get hold of any sachs so bought these, then found some. £400? I was thinking a lot more, just under £1k delivered from Ktec with camber bolts....

I'm thinking about upgrading to AST's, I want lower and stiffer! If I decide to go through with it the H&R's will be up for sale. They are under a year old, I bought then off an old boy who had them for about 4k miles on a trophy. And I've done about 4k on them myself. They are for Cup...

Cheers Chrispy, im happier now! Just waiting for my exhaust now!

^ I agree, from the other thread sound like Waitey thrashed it back, could have just made it worse than a small crack that was already there.

Basically I got a knife and cut the 4 rubber arms which hold the central mount, then undid the 3 bolts and removed the mount completely. Hardest bit was then using the knife, getting the rest of the rubber off which is a really tight fit onto the metal bar coming off the exhaust. Once that...
