Washed it at the weekend - it was strangely satisfying to wipe the crud and other crap from behind the clips that had sat in situ for two decades!

Flicked off the exhaust tip surrounds over the weekend to get them painted up - proper faded and crap looking. High winds put paid to that, however! Still, got them sanded ready for primer. Might give those exhaust tips a once over with some polish while I'm there.

Spent nearly 5 minutes pissing about with the radio, right at the start. Had me thinking about if it took me that long to turn a dial and to pull an aerial up - how the hell would I be even able to move and shoot anything. ;) Any game controls should not only be instinctive, but quickly become...

Hi all, New to Microsoft DevOps myself, but learning it from a BA perspective. Just wanted to know if there's a simple document storage option per project at all? I want to upload generalised items like .docx, .pdf, .vsd files and the like that cover scoping docs, stakeholder analysis - items...

Not today, but on Sunday I had my preventative maintenance head on. Swapped out the inlet O-ring. Added a new inlet gasket while I was there. Removed the TDC sensor and gave that a good clean up. Cleaned up the relay tray and inserted them back in. Cleaned out the fuse panel and wire...

Hmmm - your issue might closely align with mine. That brake switch was swapped a few months back in an attempt to investigate the cruise control issue. Since then, it can occasionally dip into the idling revs, almost to the point of stalling. It never has, but it does sound related as I never...

Could be. Mine's been weird for ages. I could switch the limiter on, or the cruise and the orange and green lights would light on the dash accordingly. However, they did nothing with to affect the car's speed. I had the brake switch swapped as a test a while back and now the limiter works...

Curious - why would a brake switch make the engine die? Is it a fail-safe device?

Looks great in colour-matched blue.

Brill - thanks guys, I've attached it to the wrong side. Out with the screwdriver at dinner...... :P

Just checking on that image - is the closest end of the rail on the right-hand side of the bulkhead, then screwed up against it? I think I might have put mine to the left? Possibly....

Lol - I do indeed.... :P

Cheers for that. It seems I've got it the same, yet it looks like it fouls the side of the OEM airbox, where that hex screw goes in? Could be just me, but I'm sure I've not got it right.

Hi all, Has anyone got a picture of the way the rail above the 182 airbox connects at the front end? I’ve put everything together after some work on it today and it doesn’t ‘look’ right. Cheers.

Got the endoscope down there to check on the starter. Surprisingly looked quite tidy and the heatshield is definitely in place. Given how tricky it was to use an endoscope in the confines of that space, 100% confirmed that I wouldn't attempt to swap the starter out myself. The garage can have...

Didn't get to use the endoscope today as it needed a recharge, so most likely tomorrow. Having swapped the pink relays over for testing yesterday, I gave them a once over from the little bit of oxidisation that some of them had on their pins. Will get those slotted back in tomorrow too.

Will get the endoscope camera down near the starter at dinner - see if I can see anything obvious.

I assume it's worth disconnecting the battery first before putting my hand anywhere down there.... ;) Check on the relays earlier and swapped G with E. Made no difference unfortunately. The retaining clip for the relay cover snapped off as well when I was taking the cover off. Not sure if that...

Thanks for all the suggestions everyone - aiming to get the starter swapped with Nightingales as soon as they have availability. As far as I'm aware, the heatshield should still be in place as I've certainly never moved it. I believe from the engine rebuild pics I had at AW Motorworks five...

I've touched on this in other posts, but I'm getting a weird non-crank issue when the car is warm and I go to start it. Absolutely nothing - lights, fans and dash comes on fine, but will not attempt to spin over. First thing in the morning - it fires up no issue. If I leave it at work all day...

Such a brilliant game. Wish I could forget it all, just to enjoy it through once more!

Might check mine again. It randomly behaved weird at a set of lights a few weeks back - almost like an injector failed, but had no warning lights on the dash. Never came back afterwards - but you've got me thinking to check the coil pack - especially as it's so easy to get to.

I'm old. Witnessed (experienced and got involved to some extent) with the cringe of the Max Power era 90s. Dimma kits looked s**t back then and they look absolute gash in 2025. Hideous things.

That's the one - cheers!

Hi all, Does anyone have the part number for the O-ring for a 182 inlet plenum please? Cheers, D.

Hi all, Was going to remove my exhaust trims from the rear bumper and give them a spruce up. They look a bit crap and faded now. Do they simply pull off in a certain direction, or are they attached with clips, etc? Thanks.

The best one I had was a quick blat up the M6 to our Carlisle depot. Their main network switch had gone ape - so up there I went, with a new replacement. Never been there before - so called the depot manager before setting off, telling him that I was on my way. Rocks up at the depot, laptop bag...

If you message one of the mods (people with green names) - they can change it for you.

Downloaded it again at the weekend with the aim to complete it (finally) on the PC. The Enhanced Edition that only came to the PC earlier this month, now actually makes it less console-centric and more adaptable to what PC players are used to. Rockstar being Rockstar, there are some weirdities...

Do you have a connection to the car? Otherwise, it seems a lot of effort to rescue a 27-year-old Clio. Granted, I'd probably do the same, if it was mine! I would have thought that the insurance company would simply write it off. Is this why I assume, you're not going through them?
