had sky now for well over a year, it's plugged directly into a phone socket.. no filter for me.
Arent these filters just for things like Telephones & possible faxes, to stop any possible interferance?
When i first had BB, someone called me on my house phone before fitting the filter & it...
Thats good to know MarkCup.. i was pretty sure 12k wasn't very much for rear disc & pads!!!! especially as it's never seen a track & i don't drive it particularily hard..
I'll see what they say tomorrow after giving them a ring.
That would be good mate, thanks for that.. some ammo :-)
I think i will get the rear wheels off & take a look for myself on the weekend aswell, see what it's all about before dropping it off.
I'll be ringing to book it in tomorrow.. wish me luck..
To be fair though, with my last clio (a...
I'll let you know ;-)
Don't think i like my chances of winning that bet mind you!
I'm banking on them being really helpful & replacing the discs & pads... whats my chances ...!?
It's amazing how a car that hardly uses rear brakes (and the permanent rust on rear discs proves that!).... has...
The story goes...
A week or so ago when braking i can hear a kind of grinding noise.. .
The rear brake discs have been rusty for what seems like ever. Although it sounded like the grinding was coming from the front discs.
I had a look at the pads (just from looking through the wheel spokes)...
a few years back i bought a 2001 dynamique.
A few weeks after i got it i was giving it a bit of a clean & found the tray underneath the passenger seat was full of cds .. there was about 10 original cds in there :-)
And the ashtray was full of coins.. shame it was mainly coppers!
Just as i was driving through the works carpark tonight and chap from my department stopped me for a little chat, which included him looking round my car.
What did he say?... Correct
"It's very nice, bit of a girls car though".. followed up with "whats 'cup 172' mean?"
Then i...
But did you leave your car unattended for any length of time yesterday???.. perhaps it wanted to go to the historic city of bath for the day?
Or maybe not.
i managed to blag a set from renault when i bought my car last year.. .they are just grey with a kind of sqaured pattern over them, with Clio written in the bottom right of the drivers mat... Think they're just the bog standard renault ones as i have seen them in a coutesy clio i had a while...
I went out especially & bought it last night.. the missus loved it when i got in & ignored her while reading a buyers guide about a car i already have :-)
Just nice to have good write ups about your motors i reckon. something to keep with my car docs.
Evo ain't a bad magazine, i've only bought...
Mine just turned 12k yesterday...and feeling gr-r-r-eat. all this talk of 'getting better with age' makes me a bit happier about racking up the miles. Although i did like it when i forst bought it with only 4 digits on the dash.
Suppose 12k for a 2003 cup is pretty low.. more driving more driving
I will probably be replacing with some components at some stage yes, so wouldn't mind seeing what it looks like under the dash to know what to expect.
Might drive to braintree for your help ;-) (only kidding mate) actually i sometimes drive up the A12 (from M25) as the misses originally comes...
A pic of the dash being off might be useful, to show (me) what to expect when changing the tweeters on mine :-)
Did the dash come off pretty easily? or were there any moments when you kind of regretted trying?
Lots of projectors on the go here!! very nice.
I got a 28" LCD in the front room (biggest i can have at the moment as it needs to go in a corner under the stairs :-( ), with a old dvd player.... & sky box.
Got a small form factor pc out of the way behind the tv to play any divx movies photo...
i havn't done it either.. had the car since september.....
saying that never did it in the year & a half i had my other clio either..
Think i might do it.
