Haha, just realise I've mixed the two! I was referring to BD59FUT, which has now been removed and relisted yet again. Keep an eye on the market, there have been a few come up in recent months.

BD59VLG has been on the market progressively getting cheaper for nearly a year. I can't say I've viewed it myself, but the fact it hasn't been snapped up at that price is enough of an indicator to suggest something is seriously amiss. KTEC are known to charge a premium, however from my past...

E46M3

I remember it doing this when I owned it too, before anybody tampered with the mapping. When at low revs, with the clutch all the way out it would jolt along, I just presumed this was something all 182's did. After my ownership, it had a silly pops and bangs remap added, which was then removed...

I had a full Thule set up on my 182 a few years back, they can be picked up on eBay for pretty cheap (I paid £65 all in). The kit was extremely robust and very quick to assemble / disassemble, so I really can't recommend it enough!

Hi there buddy. The vehicle itself isn't a factory 'Cup', it's what's known as a full fat version with the cup suspension package. The Cup was a lightweight stripped out model without A/C. In terms of the clutch being heavy, unfortunately that's just a perk of 182 ownership. I owned the very...

Fingers crossed for you buddy! Start with the dealership, and if no luck, escalate to BMW UK. You could always give BMW Falmouth a call if your local dealership doesn't provide much in the way of help (just pretend you're a Cornish resident looking for future servicing etc) - I honestly...

I've just located my old correspondence with BMW UK with the UK recall code present and as follows: E92E93 325i/330i N53 Defect Code: 0013050200 Description: Ex Fx N53 N54 ECE: Check injectors and replace if necessary. This is separate to the coil recall which reads the following: E92E93...

I believe so, there are plenty of threads on Bimmerforum documenting the full details of the recall. I'm absolutely certain the injectors were recalled, as I had the recall notice completed on my BMW online history (version 2's replaced with version 6 IIRC). Ironically though, they're now on...

Unfortunately this will be a recurrent problem. I replaced all 6 eventually on my 330i E92 (2008 build date), and within 20,000 miles the dreaded cylinder 5 and 6 misfire fault had returned (even with the latest version). Usual symptoms are rough idling for the first few seconds when cold...

Looked fantastic, definitely made me miss my old RB!

Personally I think you've done pretty well for yourself, especially considering it only cost £900. If you're handy with a spanner, it shouldn't be too difficult repairing the odd fault yourself, and if (worst case scenario), the cambelt was to snap, I'm sure you would see some fairly decent...

Something vaguely along those lines ;)

I'll attempt to add balance to this argument, as I've owned this very vehicle as a commuter for a little over a year. I did circa 50 miles a day in it during my daily slog, sometimes double that if I was called in again on-call. Both the economy and comfort were unremarkable, with the MPG...

Thanks a bunch for this, Storm Grey is most definitely my colour of preference. I'm yet to see one in person but from the photos they look superb (always a fan of Nardo grey, so a Renault version is well received). I'm currently at a bit of a crossroads when it comes to my next vehicle. Sadly I...

I'm sceptical about clicking this on my work computer...

Let me say, unequivocally, until you're at least a registrar, that your statement is entirely false. Few foundation or ST Doctors will tell you that the wage is in any way representative of the efforts applied to obtain it (unless you join via the forces).

Remove cambelt cover, then proceed to sob quietly as you count the number of missing teeth on your 'recently replaced' cambelt. Crywank for days following (personal experience).

The car ran a completely standard map in my ownership mate, so must've been changed subsequently. I know the chap who purchased it from me had ambitions in that direction. Regarding the NSF wing and stripes, I never noticed these during my ownership, are they a relatively new thing?

Hey Simon, Haven't managed to view them yet, however I believe the red 200 is due a cambelt service which is slightly off putting. They reduced the price £200 recently to account for this, but it still means a further £500 investment to get the work done. Are you looking for a 200 also? I keep...

Cheers for that buddy, lots of useful information in there. I haven't ruled anything out completely (225, 182, 197), I've just got a preference for the 200 front end, although I realise many prefer the 197. Ouch, sounds like a complete ballache! Did you complete the megane turbo conversion on...

Thanks for that buddy. Coming from a predominantly 172/182 background I'm a unfamiliar with the spec list of the 200's, so thanks for the pointers on the calipers. I'm guessing timing belt/dephaser intervals as similar to those on the 182, definitely one to watch out for anyway! I heavily favour...

Hi all, As the title suggests, I'm currently in the market for a Clio 200, however admittedly I don't know a great deal about these vehicles, so I'm hoping for as much advice as possible before committing to a purchase. So feel free to dump your opinions, experiences, suggestions and advice...

Looks absolutely cracking, delighted to see she ended up in good hands - cheers to @imprezaworks for linking me! I purchased this from @mossyv6 a few years back, as a second vehicle to enjoy around the coastal roads of Cornwall with my partner. When it came into my ownership, it was nothing...

You can get a full set of high quality vinyl stripes off eBay for very little money mate. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RENAULT-SPORT-CLIO-STRIPES-VINYL-CAR-GRAPHICS-STICKERS-DECALS-172-182-2-0-1-2-D-/110980429587?epid=1388316261&hash=item19d6f2f713:m:mNC6KpwwdYHKWtQZYAld6bg Above is the set I...

Wouldn't happen to be Registration WG04 LTJ would it? I noticed it was up for sale pretty cheaply a few days back on eBay, then swiftly disappeared. It was my old Clio, I'm keen to know how she is :)

Apologies for the delayed response and thanks so much for the edits! I placed my order this morning. Again, hugely appreciated mate - thank you :)

Hi there all, apologies if I've posted this in the wrong section. Hoping somebody might be able to help me out a little, I'm on the verge of putting a deposit down on a bargain set of Ispiri ISR5's in matt graphite, however I'm not sure how they'd look on the vehicle. I've found several photos...

Be extremely cautious with your scaphoid injury, especially if it hasn't been internally fixated. Any displacement of the fragments can be hugely problematic down the line, so don't jump the gun mate! Enjoy the vehicle when the time's right.
