Hi, I need a karting/trackday helmet but can't find anywhere nearby Bournemouth, or the South in general for that matter, that sells them. Reluctant to just buy one off the net before I've tried it on for obvious reasons. Anyone know of a place round here that sells them? Cheers

Thinking of chopping in the Alfa for a 182/Trophy to start doing track days so took a 182 out which was on 50,000 miles. I used to have a valver before and have a soft spot for clio's, never driven a 182 but this one must have been a real dog - properly lumpy after warming up and what felt...

Hi, My wheel bearing is making a sound, and is getting slowly worse. Earliest time I can get it into the garage is next wednesday. I've probably done around 40 miles with it making a noise already, how long can I drive it for like this? If I drive it too long can I cause any serious damage...

Was parked up on the main road yesterday, dont know what the area is called.

Got a whole new set of f+r discs and pads from Halfords for the valver (can't complain for £85!) and got 1L of 5.1 performance brake fluid, only £3.50 on trade. Is 1L going to be enough to bleed the brakes with? What's the deal with 5.1 and is it better than the dot 4 stuff? It was more...

It's renewal time and I don't know what to give as the address of where the car is kept, as I'm at uni and home for almost exactly equal time. I was shocked to find my home in a small village in the countryside is actually in a worse insurance rated area than the s**thole I live in at uni...

Saw you in the layby on the DC down to loughborough, just off the M1 J24 I think it is? Went past in the black valver, 3 bikes on the back just been on an adventure

Got MOT done by my mate today and it passed fine but all the discs/pads are a bit of a state and need replacing. I don't do track days or drive it too hard so don't need the best setup ever, just something good, reliable and well priced. Don't want to change calipers as I think its OTT for...

At bout 2:45pm today going through centre of lboro,was the usual blue colour. I was walking to pick my valver up!

Clutch cable snapped so rang Renault but they were booked up, but said the Vauxhall garage next door could fit it in. So... go to pick up today and it won't select reverse at all and crunches away, and selecting any other gear is really hard. Now the bloke tried to tell me my clutch has...

Clutch cable went pop the other day. Went to garage and they've quoted me £96 inc vat to get it fixed. Thats with 1 1/2hr labour. Seemed bit steep to me, as looking round this forum it doesn't seem too long a job to do? Bringing me onto next question... I aint too good with this kind of...

Still running the standard exhaust wouldn't mind a new shiny one but would/have you declared it? It will be the same size as the original, and I was thinking I could just say it was on there when I got it and thought it was the standard item?

Things driving me insane and I'm well embarassed by it, it sounds like my sister. Its been squeaking for a while, but I had a new alternator fitted last week which I thought would solve it. (not a new belt though as it was only changed last month). It stopped squeaking for about 2 days, but...

Walked past it doing the walk of shame :o at bout 4pm it would have been. Just saw the sticker in the back, was too wasted to look whether it was a 172 or 182. My valver was parked round the back... see it?

Full beam on the valver decided not to work one day, no blue light on the dash or anything, so I presumed the stalk had packed up and bought a supposed fully tested second hand one off ebay. Came to fit it this morning, full beam still doesn't work! No blue light on the dash nothing, just the...

There's been a squeaking noise and the battery light occassionally flashes on for about the past month now, but today the lights been on pretty much all the time and the squeaking not as loud. A mechanic mate said the alternator belt tension was fine, so its prob the alternator thats gone...

I noticed about a month ago my aux belt was squealing from cold, but now i can hear it all the time. Then on the motorway the other day every 20mins or so my battery warning light on the dash would pop up. Thing is, i had all the belts changed down at K-tec about 3months ago and all the...

you came past me and went into the rushes car park behind amber rooms... grey valver looked nice on aftermarket wheels, sounded like something a bit more meatier under the bonnet than standard though...?

Around 3.30pm it would have been, across from the rugby pitch. Wish i'd stop spotting this one, twice I've nearly fallen off my bike while having a ganders... :cool:

This is a really strange problem and only happens around once a month. Today i was driving to Manchester (to be in the audience of Jeremy Kyle :) ), going around 70mph and suddenly the electrics cut out and so did the engine causing it to jerk, but a split second later the electrics came back...

Spotted one on campus with cliosport sticker on parked up across from the rugby pitch (forgotten name of the building! across the road from Hazelgrave). Looked really good, around 12:10 it would have been. Then spotted another one driving past argos in the town centre at around 4pm. Anyone's?

As title, when I have my normal lights on full beam doesnt work, the stalk still pulls back as normal but the full beam doesn't come on. However, when I have the lights on the low powered setting (don't know the term, but just one click round on the lights stalk) the full beam works fine when...

When i engage 5th gear at over 50 mph i can feel a slight "crunch", nothing major but you can tell its there. Its only just started to happen. If i select 5th really carefully it doesnt crunch, so i've been doing that. Once its in 5th its fine, no problems at all. Anyone know what it could...

As above, i've got a fair bit of play in the steering column and need to get it welded up. Live in the swindon area, but can travel to Bristol, Reading etc. Anyone know of a place around there that would do it? Cheers,

Sat in the traffic jam, you were in the middle lane i was sweating away in the black valver in the outside. Just coming back from getting my wheels refurbished :)

Saw a white marker pen thingy in Halfords that you use to fill in the lettering down the side of tyres. Anyone done this? Look any good? Get some piccy's up if you have :)

Just been on an adventure weekend in Wales where in hammered it down and noticed that all the left side of the boot is soaked! The sides are fine, its just the carpet on the bottom. Can't find any obvious sign of leakage through the boot lid or tail lights, any clues as to where it could be...

My drivers side window stopped working suddenly the other day. It wont go down at all, but when i press up you can here it try to move so it looks like powers getting to the switch. The passenger side works fine though, its just the drivers side switch. Is this a comon problem? is there an...
