    Are my new Eibach springs really new?

    Thanks for the quick reply Martin, I feeling slightly less ranty now ;)

    Are my new Eibach springs really new?

    Before I have a misguided rant at the trader, could someone verify how Eibach Pro springs are packaged? I'm just going on google images, so I might well be wide of the mark. Should the box be shrink wrapped? Mine was just taped shut. I assumed there would be documentation in the box, warranty...

    My car doesn't like to start :(

    Did you get anywhere with this? Mines started doing it again this week after a good few months of no issues. I've still not spotted any kind of pattern to when/why :( My dash rear fog light also comes on under braking at times, although I've not spotted it happening recently.

    My car doesn't like to start :(

    I can't offer much help, but I have a very similar problem on my 172 cup. It'll be fine for months, then go through being a pain for a week, then back to normal. I was beginning to wonder if it only happened when I was low on petrol, but I've not managed to find any logic or pattern to it at all :(

    Reving before turning car off

    Dam I must be old, or at least I've crappy old cars in the past. It's exactly what I used to do with my Triumph Toledo and I swear it made it easier to restart the next time. I still do it a little (3k rpm) out of habbit, but I'll try and break it before I get labelled a chav ;)

    Microsoft's Black Screen of Death - Vista..

    According to HardOCP "The rumors floating around the internet about a new Windows Vista anti-piracy measure that causes a “black screen of death” have turned out to be a hoax." Vista's 'Black Screen of Death' Is a Hoax

    Building a HTPC anything I need to know?

    What formats are you looking to playback and what hardware do you have at the moment? Your current motherboard will most likely be ATX, the other option you have is MicroATX. Cases are available for either so it depends how big you want it to be. Take a look at Windows XP Media Centre Edition...

    Transformers Camaro

    The Solstice was generally in the background in the film, but is apparently a great handling car. Hopefully Vaux will be rebadging it in the UK. You don't buy a muscle car for corners ;)

    Blue 172 M32+M4 around 10am

    Looking really very clean indeed. Did well avoiding that hubcap as it spun across the road. I pointed at it for you as I couldn't think of a useful hand signal! Maybe we should start our own Clio display team? ;)

    Longlife or Prospeed

    Longlife are a bit hit and miss, it really depends on the branch/person who ends up doing it. There is however, only one Charlie and one Prospeed :)

    Silver 172 - Gloucester rd, Bristol

    Yes I attempted to wave, being old(er) myself I need to get right up to a Clio before I am 100% sure it's an RS ;) '03 plate on my car, but the time/place is correct. Were you in a Blue 182?

    Silver 172 - Gloucester rd, Bristol

    Pretty sure that was me in my Cup. It's taken a year for someone to spot me, you should get some kind of prize ;)

    Silver 172 cup, Kebab van, bristol

    There are at least two in Bristol, including mine! I think it's just that people see a Silver Clio and assume it can't be a RS, they don't stand out as much as some of the (lesser) colours. /me dives for cover ;)

    Mk1 172 - Thornbury Bristol - Bell end

    I'm in Filton, but driving to work near Bath most days. I did spot a modded Clio on the way up today, which I overtook in a 60 limit, so I was panicing when I spotted this thread :D Luckily I drive a 172 mk2 cup and I am much better behaved than that so I'm pretty sure it's not me ;) I've still...

    Crashed my Clio

    Most insurance comes with a legal advice option for £10, they generally add it by default. Might be worth giving them a call, otherwise Citizens Advice can be very helpful.

    Crashed my Clio

    This is not the case if you can prove negligence on Tescos part, looks like you have a good chance of doing that. Best of luck Graeme.
