    Urgent caliper help

    Probably best. ebay has some listed, but they are circa £25 for a set of four. I bet OEM Renault ones are cheaper......... (possibly) ;) D.

    Car wandering, steering wheel shake

    Yep - fixed my steering wheel shake issue at 50mph+ Best bet (if you can manage it) is to get the wheels off and wash the inside of the front alloys (or all of them, if you you've moved front to back previously) - with some warm water and washing up liquid. Fairy is brilliant at getting the CV...

    Rear dampers/shocks

    Re: Rear dampners/shocks Pretty sure the mounts are separate? Iirc, the bolt section of the top of the damper passes through and the locking nut screwed on top accordingly. Been a while since I've done mine though. D.

    Quieter exhaust

    I hated the quietness of my OEM 182 system. I was glad when the bloody thing rotted away! D.

    One Two just a few :)

    Excellent! Loving the hover-car look above! :cool: D.

    Laying a car up for 6 months?

    Could be m8. I was always led to believe that you had evaporation/pressure issues with a full tank? Hopefully someone knows the proper answer! :) D.

    One Two just a few :)

    He probably didn't want to be outclassed by the better colour.... :cool: D.

    Laying a car up for 6 months?

    Ideally, could the car be raised with the wheels off? Might be a little overkill for six months, but like you say - that would certainly negate any flat spots - especially if they were decent/newish tyres. I'd personally not try to leave too much petrol in the tank. Hardly drain it, but just...

    U2 downloads new album to every iPhone

    That, as well.... D.

    U2 downloads new album to every iPhone

    Sums it up. There are plenty of bands out there that I don't like. But offer a free album to download and I'll give it a try. Who knows, they might convert me into a fan. :) D.

    Laptop for a student..

    Worth checking if the place you work has signed up for Microsoft's HUP (Home Use Program) as well...

    Still not tried that yet.... :o D.

    I miss this old ****...

    Just checked my Punto Sporting and GT and that website. Looks like they both went to the scrapheap in the sky around 2008/2009. :( Weirdly, I had a really vivid dream the other week about driving the GT again. How the steering wheel felt, where the gear-stick was, the dashboard - everything... D.

    Few problems after recent upgrade

    Good to see it's sorted! I must admit, I'm a bit reluctant to try out a decent monitor. I'm used to my 27" Iiyama running at 59hz - but I know for sure that in seeing the output from a decent refresh rate would instantly mean a bashing of the credit card! :) BTW - is it worth messing about...

    Fallout 3

    Lol! When I read that - I thought it could have been you! :P D.

    Destiny

    Haha! So true. Slow, cumbersome, and linear. The pad simply cannot match the K&M for reaction time, smoothness and accuracy. D.

    Steering Wheel Help Needed!

    The Ph.1 172 wheels are MUCH better than the 182 version. As GrahamS says - they have a tendency to 'melt' and look genuinely awful. Even if they don't, the thumb-grip rubbers perish and crumble. A definite step-back from Renault there! D.

    Few problems after recent upgrade

    Lol - I literally wipe the dust off my monitor and feel the need to reformat! No way would I replace an entire mobo/CPU/memory trio and not reformat. :) Though as you say, it could well be a mobo specific issue? D.

    XCOM : Enemy Unknown & Enemy Within

    Good points! I guess this genre has always nudged towards the more difficult side of turn-based RTS's - rather than being an easy and laid back game to play. Going way back to arguably the genre-starter of Laser Squad - progress has always been a challenge and I would actually say that the...

    Mk2 side-strip removal - the things just won't budge!

    Haven't done this yet - I'll see if I get the chance this weekend.

    XCOM : Enemy Unknown & Enemy Within

    Re: XCOM : Enemy Unknown So, after nearly two years - I finally finished the core game this week - and one that I thoroughly enjoyed. As mentioned in another post (http://www.cliosport.net/forum/showthread.php?751925-Cheating-and-making-games-better) - hacking the money figure from the $200 or...

    Finally a Clio V6.

    I share your pain m8. I had mine powder coated and far from it driving 's**t' - I do get a slight wobble coming through the steering column when I get north of 60mph. More irritating than anything and I've got mine booked in this Friday for rebalancing. The silver side-pods are really only a...

    PC Build Advice

    Yep. I've got one of the older i7 Extreme Editions and use it for 99% gaming. Not really needed - a decent spec i5 is much better suited. D.

    Boosted Dolphin Grey E30 325i

    Looks nice - but as Tom says - it seems a little strange not to mention THE thing that makes it unique? And me (of all people) is no fan of those bonnet vents... D.

    Playstation network down again

    Briefly had a message popup, saying that I'd been disconnected earlier. But that's been about it. Have been watching Netflix on the PS3 and thankfully, that's separate from PSN. D.

    New Member From Greater Manchester!

    Welcome! :) However, when you say dealership - do you mean Bury Motors?? Pick the car up from them and NEVER darken their doors again. Honestly - there is zero customer interest there. I've had an ongoing issue with Renault UK and them for months. Not only shoddy work (losing my undertray...

    New French Car

    Looks an ok car tbh - just a shame they have those issues with the engine. Will be interesting to see if your clean-up and new caps help keep it running free of build-up :) D.

    Has my exhaust dropped?

    Yep - they are uber-feeble and fail regularly. I reckon I must be on my fourth set by now? :) D.

    RB - marmite spec

    Certainly different. The wheels grow on me with each glance at the pics. Nice colour combo with the car, imo. D.

    Problem finally found with my 200

    Bloody hell! :eek: D.
