I'm looking at a 192 thanks to my OEM blowing last week. Just looking for a good fitter in South Yorkshire, as the place I used to use has really gone downhill.

Sad face, exhaust has blown behind the cat, so it's time for a Scorpion 192 or similar. Car is currently parked up at work in Sheffield, so can anyone recommend a good exhaust spot in South Yorkshire, or within a reasonable drive at least? Ideally somewhere that stocks or would fit a Scorpion...

There'll be less come winter ; ) The public would like to see before and after graphs...

I've had a test in the non cup 200 and it does seem nicer than the 197, but still not quite up to the Trophy on overall oomph. It is an awful lot of extra ££ though..

Bugger me, I'd buy it for razzing and spares for Ruby at that $

Why? I've got a three layer lumbar fusion with 3 cages plus the associated Meccano and find the Recaros in my Trophy comfier than pretty much any seats (outside of totally immobilising Sparcos.) So yes, Recaros ftw.

Can always get the Ronseal out to enhance the stiffness...

Yay, you live over a hundred miles from me - colour me slightly less likely to be taken out by you.

Colour?

Acquire a cheap/shady quicktime pro code off ebay and you're good.

Ta - I'm a chimp when it comes to anything like this. Ironically I used to do all manner of stuff with the old GTI and Escort, but I've just got well out of practise. Doesn't look to be much room 80

Couldn't find anything on search, is there a f**kwit's guide to changing bulbs, preferably with pics? I'll be looking at dipped and main beams (no point upgrading side lights) Phillips foolish bright, obviously. Hands aren't those of a three year old, will it be struggle? <edit> Trophy btw...

Last time my reception went wrong, I discovered some fucker had robbed my aerial.

My Trophy didn't have a multichanger ; )

The missus says it'll T-cut out. <edit> Does suck when stuff like that happens. My missus had her mint Mk II 16v GTI pinched while we were on hols a couple of years back. Sucks to lose a nice car through no fault of your own.

I've not done a GPS timed run, but a handy bit of road near me facilitates occasional legal foolishness, and that sounds about right. Only one gear change which makes a big difference compared to the Willie.

Very slow coming back from work today - touch wood I held all 3 starts of a slide. Several people had crashes at work though 8 (

Surely unless you've had a remap, you're past an optimum upshift anyway, so sadly, who cares?

I'll stick with one of these: <=== ;)

Trophy - it's coming up to the time of year when 172 cups get thinned out a bit more due to lack of ABS ; )

I'm keeping the Trophy for the foreseeable, but having had a pottle in a 197 full fat, an R26 and an R27, I'm afraid I'd go for the Meggy too...

They did mine while I had madame in for her service the other day. Pretty sure it's already been replaced, but why not have a third catch?

Only bad one I've ever had (touch wood) was an exhaust sourced one. Was a cracked heat shield replaced under warranty. Ruby's a good wee girl.

Thanks, I'll give the stealers a shot and RS too today. If anyone has any good recommendations in Manc', my folks live over there, so I can always stretch to popping over there. Cheers

Evenin' all, Living in great fear of having to replair/replace a Sachs damper, I'm looking at the 2 year warranty extension thorugh Renault. Has anyone else gone for it and had good or bad times as a result? It's also the time for the evil 36k service. Any particularly good/bad experiences...

If I keep to 65-70 I can get happy joy 40-45, especially if I avoid battering along. If I keep to more typical motorway speed, I get about 36 or so. Proper thrashing drops off further. Drops lower with crap 95 RON obv.

Johnnies 97 or Tesco 99. Actually cheaper to use too, better mpg means it actually costs less. Ignore all this tat about only turbo engines benefiting. Any car with an adaptive ecu and any degree of tune will see some benefit. Forget anything out of a 1.6 Focus, but any Renaultsport will see...

Why the horror with DVLA? Between me and the missus we've done four in the last few years with no dramas at all.
