    clio 197 in white with black alloys & xenons (not cup)

    know this is all about the clios, but you could grab yourself an R26 for not much more - if anything. just a thought....

    -2 +1 = R26

    yeah, everyone's ok. both 182s are lease cars so got a company handling the claim. they sorted everything out. picked up the clio and rather than the courtesy car from the garage, they hired a mini cooper (not too bad actually) and sending me to docs for check up ;) guy was on his way to...

    -2 +1 = R26

    the R26 is black with all the bits on doubt the mini will be a silver lining, but it's a rental :D

    -2 +1 = R26

    the 182 is nearly three years old so was off for its MOT today. got mate from work to follow me (in his 182) to the garage to collect me. stopped at lights with him behind and see an ambulance (mini-bus style) coming way too quick (pi55ing it down) and fly into the back of him pushing him into...

    50.9mpg!!!!

    i was trying to work out costs of an ST over a Golf the other day and went a little bit anal: £4.30 per gallon, 10,000 miles 25mpg = £1,720 27mpg = 1,591 30mpg = 1,431 32mpg = 1,341 33mpg = 1,303 34mpg = 1,264 really doesn't make much diff, does it?

    dual boot pc

    try this then. boot.ini is just a text file but you can play with it from here.... properties of My Computer (right click to get) then choose Advanced and Startup Blah Blah. Should have all the options there that you need

    dual boot pc

    depends what OS you're running. i'm guessing you're on an MS OS. you'll probablt want to take a look at your boot.ini file at root of disk. you could get acronis disk director to take care of everything in a nice little GUI boot manager

    What Sat Nav?

    do any of you bother with an external aerial? i always find it a tricky getting a lock when first using due to that stupid film on the screen. been thinking about getting an aerial from eBay for about £10

    Focus St in Black

    I'm thinking about the ST3 too. It's either that or a Golf. It's gonna be white one, that's the only decision I've made :)

    Pointless Bulb?

    cheers :) i don't use the mains much so there's not much point changing them for bluevisions, but the sidelights are much better now

    Pointless Bulb?

    I was changing my sidelights for bluevisions and noticed that there appears to be a bulb serving no purpose in my headlight?! There's the indicator, then the xenon and then the "pointless" one, followed by the sidelight. The only thing I was thinking was for the mainbeam but then I thought...

    Black 182 In Headingley

    if it was a dirty one and the owner looked like he'd just dragged himself out for bed, and should have been at work at 8:30 - that be me :)

    Is the CTR the Clio's natural enemy?

    It was the toys that swayed it for me on the Clio. It was a hot summer and the CTR was an extra (i think) £1k for air con!! And it has none of the other nice bits that come with the Clio. If ultimate performance was the one thing I wanted then I might have got one. But then I'd have probably...

    172/182 Snapped ECU Brackets - pics. / numbers / dealer reactions / solutions

    Cheapest Price For New 197

    i only got the 182 over the civic because it came with all the extras. don't care what people say about that. that's also why i wouldn't consider the cup (i'm a good driver. just not good enough to notice a tiny weight saving - which is normally lost due to passengers/junk in boot [sorry, off...

    Pagefile on Exchange

    pst files should be avoided. if they're stored locally then you've got recovery issues. you get people storing them on network drives then taking up more space than if they were left in their mailboxes. exchange is a database. someone sends a file with a 20mb attachment to 50 people you got one...
