See it most days - anyone's on here?

My car has a few, er, interesting habits. They're beginning to piss me off to the point where I'm getting seriously hacked off with the damn thing. Just wondered if someone could point me in the direction of some fixes hopefully. Problem 1: Sometimes when I start the car it dies as soon as...

Anyone else had this? Just drove into work, and the whole time the rear wiper was merrily wiping away, even though it was switched off. Very odd!!! Guessing the easiest thing to do is to whip the fuse out for now to stop it - but just wondering what could be causing it if anyone has any...

Managed to just clip a wheel on a kerb a couple of weeks ago, does anyone know the paint code/best match to touch it up for now? I'll get it properly refurbed in the Spring but with the pants weather on it's way I don't really see the point at the moment :( It's a 182 Cup Pack wheel. Thanks...

Stuck the 182 in for MOT today, it failed on the front brakes application being uneven. MOT tester said it was 100% on the right, and 54% on the left. It had new discs and pads all round not long ago, so I've no idea what could be causing this. Anyone else had the same problem or any ideas...

Just been informed (and in fairness it was expected) that my exhaust is not going to pass the MOT next month. So I'm after something stainless, cat back, and the same noise level as the standard one... what do you guys recommend?

I did! About 3 years ago I had a Mk2 Ph3 1.4 dynamique. It gave me hell and even though I still loved the 1*2s I didn't think I'd ever buy one after all the hassle and went back to Vauxhall as they'd always been perfect for me. Unfortunately 3 years, 2 insurance claims and 6 points later...

Just started toying with the idea of getting a 197 and I've seen this one which says it's on a V Car - I'm guessing this is bad as it's cheap but what does it mean...

Hey all, Looking at the above TV for my living room - seen it on Dixons website for £335 and wondering if anyone has any opinions? Thanks :)

I'm after a new phone/contract and I love the Viewty - just seen this deal with mobiles2yourdoor (who are apparently the group as Phones4u) http://www.mobiles2yourdoor.co.uk/Contract_Offer_Details.asp?ItemKey=188383&MPItemKey=189706 12 month contract with Vodafone, £40 a month for 500 mins...

Well guys, the time has come for me to say goodbye to my Clio :) He's being part-ex'd tomorrow for my new car. I'll still pop in here from time to time cos the community atmosphere is cool so I'll still be around making random posts :) Thanks to all of you who have helped me out with any of...

Looking to part ex my Clio for something new, it's a 2004 53 Plate 1.4 Dynamique with 34000 miles on the clock. Been told the book price is £3700 - is this right?

Good afternoon :) I've decided I'm getting rid of the Clio, it's not got many mods but the one which I think may make it difficult to part-ex is the fact that it's lowered and has different wheels. I have the original suspension and wheels, do I stick them back on for it to go?

Just wondering what the other owner's of 1.4's get as an average mpg? Mine is really bad at the moment, struggling to get 30! I do a lot of town driving but even so, it seems incredibly low. When I first got it I could get 50mpg reasonably easily but then that wasn't in town. Put £15 worth...

Hey people :) My head unit (sony CDX-F7750) has been losing it's settings on a regular basis for months now, so yesterday I decided to pull it out and see if something was loose or something. Everything seemed fine, so I put it back in and now it doesn't work at all :( Even the clock display...

Hi guys, really need some help on this one :) I am buying a house so my beloved Clio is having to go to a new home :( and as a result I have bought myself a disposable car. It's an N reg Astra, fitted with a Vauxhall 901 alarm which keeps going off every time I get in or out of the car, and...

Hello guys I am really stuck - got a problem with a coilover AGAIN and can't use the car, managed to blag the AA to bringing me home under Renault warranty, but can't take the car back to Renault as it's obviously lowered! Desperately need someone to have a look at it for me - I'm near...

As above really - mine's all melted and sticky, what are my chances of getting it replaced under warranty?

Awww, almost like twins :)

Has anyone else here had a problem with the little split ring on the dampers slipping out of its groove and the damper popping up into the boot of the car? I've had this happen twice in the last 4 month - both times on the passenger side. I know I could get the ring welded into place but...

Can someone please colour code my front bumper inserts so I can see how good it looks and motivate myself to actually do it? Rest of the car is done!

Mine does and it's bloody annoying with the window open!

How come some clios have the key hole on the drivers door, and some have it on the passenger door? Mine's on the passenger door but I've seen pics on here where it's on the other side. Weird question but it's bugging me :o

Spotted this today in a doctor's surgery car park :) Not keen on the wheels personally :clown:

My lappy seems to be dying a slow, painful death here :dapprove: What should I replace it with? I have a Dell atm but I like the better screens you can get now, don't know if the new Dell's come with them but have seen them on Vaio's and Compaqs. Min Spec Mobile Processor 1.73Ghz 512Mb Ram...

Parked my car in a multistorey car park the other day, and a seagull still managed to poo all over it :dapprove::mad: I just washed it off and where the poo had been on my newly colourcoded rear bumper it had eaten into the paint, I had to wet sand and then scratch-x it to make it shiny again...

My lappy keeps refusing to charge cos the battery is getting too hot in this weather :dapprove: Does anyone know of a decent way of drawing heat off of it?

Hello people Thinking about getting some tints done on my car soon, show me yours and what % they are please! :)

I'm looking to get an alarm asap, but wanted to know what peeps on here recommend :) I'm not worried if it's insurance approved, just want something that's going to be reliable, not give false alarms and can have a tilt sensor added if not already included. Not too expensive would be good too...

Hello I sprayed my rear bumper insert this week, and all was good until I put the lacquer on - and now it has an orange peely cellulite finish to it :dapprove: Would Scratch-X be any good at sorting it? (lacquer was sprayed a few days ago and it's just been sat curing since)
