Popped the bonnet earlier today to fill up the screenwash bottle and noticed this: Anybody know what would cause oil to seep out of the spark plug hole? I'm not going to chance driving it - typical as it's over the Easter holiday.

Probably not everyone on here's cup of tea. After spending a fair few hours on the bodywork last Friday and Saturday with a few Zymol and Meguiar's products it's brushed up a treat. I bought it privately from someone who'd had it from new. Full service history, 94000 on the clock, year's...

Got the KW Variant 1 coilovers that were previously on my R27 fitted to my 200 today by Rentech in Portsmouth, today. They had to do a slight adjustment to the bushes on the rear shocks, but nothing major. Car looks a helluva lot better now sat on the lower set up. The way the car looks is...

I've been umming and arring over about getting rid of it. I put it up for sale briefly on here, nearly traded it for a Saab 93 aero convertible. But held back, that was until today.. Was looking at the local Renault dealership's website this morning on my teabreak at work and saw it. Drove...

I was just going through some photos of last year's Renaultsport trackday at Cadwell Park and I found this one: I recall how f**king cool the thing sounded and how bloody fast it was on track. Does anybody know anymore info on it? Is it still around?

And it makes me realise how great a car they are. Look awesome. Drive and handle awesome. And yah I am tipsy.

Got them fitted today. The difference between the Cup setup is considerably noticeable. However the one photo I have taken of the car with them fitted is considerably crap:

I noticed on the Featured section of the Apps Store that they're selling MobileNavigator Navigon sat nav system for a limited time for 38 quid. I quite like the idea of not having to worry about leaving my exisitng sat nav in the car or carrying it around with me and the 38 quid price tag is...

and as cheap to run as a moped: Exhaust is a crock of s**te though:

Noticed the cooling fan came on for no reason (normal driving) then a beep and a warning message appeared on my dash saying that my engine is overheating. Talk about jammy... This all happened 200 yards away from what probably is the only decent Renault dealership on the south coast. Pulled...

Am I right in thinking that you can't transfer files to and from other phones or computers via bluetooth? As it's only there for bluetooth headsets?? If so it's bleedin' disappointing. Also how do I add new ringtones to the phone? I tried importing a mp3 file to the ringtones section of...

I got myself an absolute steal today. A mate of mine and his bird just upgraded both of their iPhones to the 3G/GPS iPhone, so he said they were going to be selling them. I asked "how much?" and he said "80 quid" Talk about a bargain, it is only 4 months old too, not one scratch or mark...

Went out on a date last night (which went very well) and she had a W plate Clio Le Sport. Never heard of one - Has anybody on here heard of it? It was a 5 door 1.2 with a fairly lairy rear spoiler, 14" inch alloys and "le sport" decals on the rear pillars. Anyone?

My R27 was well on form tonight. Truly awesome car.

Nearside wing, anybody got on tips on self repair? Fucked off really, not one mark on the car since I picked it up last October, change jobs, park in a new car park 3 days later... scratches.

I've just bought a myself a 1992 K Plate Clio 1.4 RT, runaround. Two owners from new, 60,000 miles on the clock, new tyres, front discs and pads, 6 months MOT and 3 months tax. Minus points a couple of scuffs/scratches and the hot/cold air blower fan has died. All for the princely sum of...

Martins, in Basingstoke have still got it up for sale, I traded it October 31st. It needs some Cliosport love. Poor thing.

Washed the R27 this morning, it turned into a two and a half car wash. Some t**t decided to do some painting by wherever my car has been parked, since it's last wash. Yep white emulsion speckled all over the bonnet, nearside wing, part of the roof and three of the windows. An hour and a...

Me + new car + recaros (obscuring rear view) = s**t at parallel parking. Which isn't ideal when your bird lives in two up two down land in Southsea, where parking is a nightmare.

First up my R27 has no jack. We all know how ****e the tyre foam is. Why no jack? Secondly who has vanity lights above the sun visors? Someone I know has them in his 07 plate LY R27, but I don't. Last of all, I got no cargo net are these no longer standard??

It was quite sad knowing that the old girl would be going, but I had one final blast on the way up to Basingstoke to pick up the R27. Turned off the M3, on the way back to Portsmouth and took the A272 route (those in the know this is a nice road) - It is superb around the bends, so planted...

Why? Cos I'd like to know if you get to see your iPod as a folder on your desktop? I've chosen not to have iTunes start when the iPod is connected, which should in theory (well it does with my gen2 iPod) show the iPod as a folder on my desktop. Reason being, I'd like to drag some mpeg4...

This was posted by the geezer who I ordered my R27 from on the Renaultsport forum. Interesting... Ordering for the 197 cup has opened as of this morning!! As a reminder - the Clio Renaultsport 197 Cup the following equipment differences to the standard version: Standard 197- Soft Touch...

Convert .avi files?? It seems apple don't seem that forthcoming about telling you on their quicktime site.

Does anybody here know whether the new iPod Touch is compatible with the Alpine iDA-X001 headunit (the one without a CD player)? Planning on getting this headunit when my R27 turns up in November and thinking of replacing my gen 2 iPod with the Touch. Also, does anybody know whether my gen...

OK I know it ain't great, but I don't care. - I'm trading my 182 in for an R27 in November, but stupidly sold the crappy 15W Renault unit on ebay (although I got 90 quid!! for it.) As I didn't want to leave a fairly decent, although getting a little long in the tooth Sony CDX-F7500, for the...

in Ultra Red, with Xenons today, roof and door decals deleted. Factory order for an early November delivery. All for a bloody good price. Now will I be belting the thing around the airstrip in Devon at the end of November?

A pair of PE2s fitted to the front wheels of my 182. Two track days, Three airstrip days. These tyres are amazing. Is this a record? £175 for a new pair this morning at Micheldever tyres, near Winchester.

Quote from J. Townsend on the Renaultsport forum: " The 1.2 turbo engine replaces the 1.4 16V and the 1.6 16V engine in Clio and Modus. The 1.2 16V normally aspirated continues." Hmm very interesting news..... Especially to a few people who went to a certain stadium a few weeks back..
