Miles? Sounds like it needs one of those talented bods on here to buy it cheap and do full resto on it.

I remember owning a white r26 and the wife had a white 197 cup. Back then I probably would have paid a premium for it. I even had the norev white r26 and r27 model set. So assume the white r27 was available in other countries.

Interesting car. Not sure if it would be worth much more. R27 has not really went up in value. But there is only one! Guess condition , history and mileage would be other additive factors.

Clearly not to detailers std. Been using collonite insulator wax for last few years. Does a pretty decent job. Don't know where I read that in first place?

I went through a couple of Meguirs within a month. Bloody mice kept eating them. Killed the mice and keep thd Mitt in the house now, lasted ages. Never wash it just rinse it out a couple of times after use. Never use in very dirty car always make sure heavy dirt blasted off or use an old...

MG Metro. First car. Shocking excuse for a car. Used to look for hills for high speed runs. Megane 275 cup-s in ly. Fully loaded. Awsome car. Loads in between.

I use them all. Some amazing stuff on forums with some great restoration threads. But equally there are some diy amateurs thtat like to just have a fiddle. I enjoy watching just being Hayden, but the other day he realised his knocking was suspension he had nof tightened From one of his mods.

My ideal dream was always a manta with a red top with may be 180 bhp.

Back in those days mods was about looking at small ads in the back of car magazines and phoning uk mail order. Borrowing parents credit card.

Back in period I ran a couple of opel manta s for 6 years. 1992 to 1998. At samd time my bro had mk1 gte astra. He replaced with an 88 16v gte astra. that was the 156 bhp red top. He then moved on to mk3 Gsi red top then ecotec. He did not really understand cars and just kept going newer. I...

That's it efb is just the enhanced normal tech. Europart are crazy. Get on there mailing list and they send you codes for 45 or 50% off every day. Hate to think what happens if you just rock up off the street into a store and let them empty your wallet.

You need to check out your battery type, my father in law has a 2016 fiesta with stop start. Does not use agm technology battery just an enhanced conventional tecnnology. I looked up europarts with reg to find out battery type. Whereas my meg has step start and is agm.

Nice box. Some people do things properly.

Ideally you jusg leave it on. Then the charger tops up as and when the battery drops. Obviously with the lead to the grill means the charger and the extension lead Still sitting outside in elements? I have one car in garage i leave on trickle. The other car I charge every couple of weeks on...

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00ADIHUVG/?tag=cliospnet01-21 This is 2.5m which seems like overkill. Get some able ties you can have it coming out anywhere. Under front bumper. They also do lead with indicator light red/amber/green. There is a Harry's garage where he talks abouf car storage. But...

You could of course get tyres delivered direct to refurbished.

I only replaced 2 tyres. Lucky had a spare set of wheels and an estate. 4 wheels with tyres + 2 tyres takes up a lot of space. That the other thing they charge you a premium if you give them car with wheels, cheaper if you just give them wheels.

Charger lead pretty short around 4 foot. Lead from terminals to charger comes with one that you can leave attached and thennplug to the charger. This is not very Long but you can buy longer ones and run to poke out of your grill, then you can charge without bonnet being open. It may be easier...

Just watch if you are going darker then you will need centre caps painted which is extra cost.

I used wheel works in crawley for some subaru wheels 4 years ago. Set of 4 in gold. Got new tyres fitted at same time that I bought from Camskill. Good way to save a bit if you are due tyres as saves on normal fitting costs. Still look as new. Although i take of clean and store over winter then...

I have used these before but look to be in lockdown. Previously have been good but last time was first time I ordered liquid yellow and that seemed very gloopy. Not sure if that is function of paint type. https://www.auto-paint.co.uk

Used a turtle wax headlight restorer on wife's 2005 blobeye sti. It is cheaper than the competitors at a tenner. Really impressed with results. Crystal clear. They were not that bad so only need polishing compound. Did not need to used sanding pads.

I threw some in my megane a couple of weeks ago. I am only light use. Cheap enough from rpd. I think it was £27. Been doing mine every 6 months at approx 3k miles. Meg 275 service intervals are 12k or 2 years.

My wife had a z3m coupe when i had my e91, had to wait till daughter in a front facing seat as no passenger airbag switch on that. Boot ok on that. Remember seeing a picture online someone took when I took daughter to breakfast club at goodwood of the car with recaro child seat. When my...

Still loving the pan roof combo with the light leather. Such a bright place to be.

Good update. You are right about the trim the dark wood looks better against that leather. Don't believe you will have much space. Whilst the e91 is a cracking looking car the narrow boot due to being rwd does not give great space once a pushchair is in there. Having the other back seat makes...

Coming from a fr which i assume is boosted. Beware the relative lack of low down torque. The 182 hides this better because of lower weight. The 197 or 200 you will need to be top of rev range to keep up with relatively modest looking modern turbo petrol or diesel cars. Ok on a back road or...

If you have no car as you crashed or blew up you previous one and need it to drive at the moment to your job at the hospital. Yes. If you are getting because its cheap? Does not sound essential. Remember any interaction with a stranger puts your friends and family at risk not just you. They...

Nice 280. Looks like you have not had a chance to get it dirty yet.

A friend of mine just ended his deal on a 335d and hands back to bmw a little early and picked up its replacement a new m135i. He said its sat outsiee its house with 100 miles on it. I have seen a good few people talking about the £229 a Month deals on megane rs with delivery dates soon. I guess...
