Recently got a Mini Cooper 2006 as the Mrs's car the other week. I took a few rough photo's over the weekend after a quick wash.
So far it just has some repeaters. I will be painting the calipers silver, silver indicators and LED side lights, just to give it the clean look.
I...
Took a few sunny pics of the Megane at a trackday at Castle Combe last friday.
Also some very nice cars there for the weekend from the Britcar championship...
Where is the best place to get some protective film, to go on the rear arches to stop stone chips.
My rear arches have quite a few stone chips already and with black paint is really stands out, so I don't want it getting worse.
I've had my car in the dealers 5 times now to try and fix the problem of the car pulling to left badly.
After having the tracking/wheel alignment done at Protyre, I took it to Renault they adjusted it again. Then after alot of messing about I had to pay £170 for Renault to check the wheel...
Don't really know a great deal about them and where to start really, but i know I need a transformer.
Where's the best place to get one from and what pads will I need.
I'm not going to be doing loads of cars, just mine and the mrs's car.
Can anyone recommend someone in the Bristol area.
I know of 3 small doors dents on the car, but once I get the car i'll check it over for anymore.
Also a guide on price.
Cheers.
The new owner picked up the car last night and off it went.
I really loved that car, even after all the little problems I had with it.
After 2.5 years I expecting to miss it, but I don't for some reason.
Oh well I should hopefully be picking my new car on Sunday, I can't wait.
I just...
Should hopefully be picking up the new car on Sunday.
I'll give it a clay, polish & seal etc, but I it does have a lot of swirls.
Also with the car being black it doesn't look good with loads of swirls, whats the best stuff to use?
Ideally something the buy for Halfords, so I don't...
I'm going to order today either the Navman S30 for £109 or the TomTom One for £99 of Amazon.
Not sure which one though?!?
I tempted by the Navman, but I have always used TomTom's before.
I need to change my front discs and pads soon.
So i'm going to get the HC Discs from GSF, but i'm sure about pads.
I don't want to spend loads and I don't do track days; DS2500 are no good and I don't like EBC Greenstuff.
Any other options? Or i'll just get stock again.
I just had a new gearbox, clutch and a driveshaft fitted at Renault.
But since I got it back, when turning left around 2k - 3k rpm.
I get a rumbling noise and it gets worse with the lower the gear (In second & first gear the dashboard & steering wheel vibrates).
It definitely didn't do it...
Just been told by Renault I need a new gearbox, due to the knocking noise i'm getting when lifting off the clutch when changing gear.
How much should I be looking at for a replacement box and fitting?
Also where would be the best place to source one from?
Been quoted £1249 + VAT from...
Sometimes when changing gear, especially in 3rd.
On the way back up on the clutch, I get a clunk.
I was thinking it is a gearbox mount, but I had the top mount under the battery tray changed earlier on in the year.
So I guess the dogbone mount should be next.
Could be anything else?
I've just moved into my first house want a TV & broadband package.
I looked at Virgin, it was 2 for £25 but no Sky One.
Sky was offering on their website £22 for TV 2 mixes, Phone and 8MB broadband 40GB limit.
But now i'm paid for the BT line and checked my number it's £34 a month...
It may just be because my tyres from the rear are now on the front and worn, but the car pulls to the right when accelerating in high gears.
The car drives straight, but when you put your foot down on the motorway in 4th or 5th the car pulls to the right.
The tracking has been checked and...
I noticed my green light has gone out on the battery and the car keeps resetting the trip computer when starting.
So I've been quoted £49.95 from a local battery dealer, anyone know any good websites where I may get one cheaper?
