Day 6 It was going so well...again! We left Munich and headed down towards Italy via the alps. The plan was to drive up the Umbrail pass to the top of the Stelvio, hang about there for a bit and head down into italy for our stay at lake como. The day started off well, making decent time down...

After reading a few threads on here from people who had done drives around Europe I decided that this summer I would give it a go in the clio with my younger brother. Booked 2 weeks off in august and started planning at the start of the year, we would mostly camp to keep costs down and stay on...

Searched on here and cant seem to find a definitive answer or picture as to which one it is. Car is a ph2 172 with aircon, does anyone know for sure which of the below is the pump relay? Thanks IMAG0687 by terry clarke, on Flickr

Help... Aircon was working fine Friday, I'm now in central Europe roasting to death. When I turn the air-con on it doesn't do the usual clonk and the fan isn't coming on etc. Is there a fuse that could of blown? What could be the issue?

Tidied out the shed this week and discovered 11 part worn 15s lol! managed to sell them to one of the local drift guys to destroy. IMAG1581 by terry clarke, on Flickr Picked myself up a set of Turbines and some toyo RsRs to use over the summer on the road, save wearing the 888s out and they...

Not as quick as I thought they'd be either! Still sound immense though. Haven't seen many V8s on the road.

I have a similar problem where most times I have to 'double prime' it so to speak and I was under the impression it was relay related.

Looks a great trip. Your thread about your one a few years ago is what made me plan a trip for this August!

Sounding good! Nice to see it getting some use out on track where they belong.

That instructor lol!

Yeah if it persists this week I'll pop back to the garage and ask them to have a quick look. I'll try and have a drink of the water next time lol see what it tastes like.

Stayed down.

Cheers for the replies. I knew the aircon system didn't use coolant as such but wasn't sure if there were water pipes running into that area for the matrix etc. The coolant dropped about 2cm over a few days. Waterpump etc was not long done by a specialist so I hope it's nothing to do with that.

That's what I hoped or condensation. But the level in the header tank is dropping too.

Morning! Bit puzzled as to where this leak can be coming from as my 172 knowledge isn't the greatest. Had the car about a year now and in that time the aircon has never worked as a pipe to the condenser had a hole in. Changes that last weekend, got it gassed up and it was working to its full...

Great idea, cant wait to see how this pans out! Im doing two weeks driving through europe in august and will do a write up no doubt.

They're definitely still sort after wheels, freshly refurbed sets have gone for £400. I'd agree with above 2/250 if all straight and in useable condition.

Nothing, you'd be best just getting them sent to me and I'll save you the hassle of taking them to the tip.

Seen both the koenigsegg and la Ferrari a few times around town, looks like they're owned by the same person. Jealous.

Back down the yard this weekend to carry on with fixing the leak in the sump. Stopped off on the way to pick up the trailer from storage and move it into its new home, will be much better off inside as the weather has rotted the boards pretty quickly, doesn't help that some idiots jumped on it...

Couple of recent spots while out and about. This had been stuck behind me and polo for a while so pulled into the right lane and pulled away in anger, sounded amazing! IMAG1469 by terry clarke, on Flickr Was even more in shock when I saw this coming up behind. IMAG1343 by terry clarke, on Flickr

Seen it half a dozen times in various places around maidstone in the last month, someone's certainly making use of their new purchase.

Does anyone know if the sumps on the f7p and f7r are the same? thanks

I bought a new gearbox mount (battery tray one) from eBay. Fitted fine and I've had no problems with it.

Cheers, see you've done a fair bit to my old car. Looks in a much better state now.

After fixing the oil cooler we booked up the RenaultSport track day at brands hatch on 9th of April. Had a really good day and the car performed fantastically again, sadly we were still getting a slight oil build up on the bottom of the sump towards the end of the day. Turns out that the sump...

Been thinking about doing this. Neither of mine work and it's passed both its mots since I've had it, but as you say they look a bit untidy.

An e34 m5 if there are any still about in a years time.
