Just on way home and the mrs decides to put the heater on full, started heating up then cut off. the fans don't work (doesn't get warm either) then I noticed the engine temp gauge was sat at the bottom too.
I have browsed on here and seems to be either engine temp sensor or coolant sensor. But...
Sadly the guy I sold it locally too had an accident, but seems to have been repaired!

We have managed to buy a brand new house in a lovely location, house should be finished next july/aug - 3 bedroom, garage, garden...

Since selling the Evo a good few months ago I was driving the 2nd car - a 2006 fiesta TDCi....... well that lasted a couple of months! needed something quicker. I was thinking of going back to a 182 but fancied staying Jap so I bought this!
Completely standard when I bought it, FSH 2 owners -...

Haven't been on here for a while, mainly due to buying a new car out of the blue and spending time reading up on them. Also work on my house!
The car is totally standard with me being the 3rd owner all locally owned, it has FSH from from new at AMS which was a well know evo specialist and are...
Well last week the megane went..... not gone very far though! the mrs has taken ownership, so get to drive it on the odd occasion and see it everyday. Whats nxt I hear you cry! well I have been waiting a whole 3 weeks so far for the car to be ready and should be picking up easter weekend...
Been in touch with a company from penrith who vinyl all the Eddie Stobart wagons and the M-Sport rally cars. Basically I wanted a carbon bonnet - but the cost of the .R bonnet is over £1K....... so cost is a huge disadvantage! but it looks great.
I was talking to a mate who has a mate who works...
A friend wanted her R26 cleaning due to not having the time or patience to give it a full going over. So a txt later and I was cleaning the meg up - the car was s**t up when it landed up!
I haven't got any before pics as I just wanted to get on with it - but the after pics speak for themselves...
Thinking of getting a carbon bonnet for the R26.... but on the cards too is to get it carbon wrapped.
Getting wrapped is cheaper - but sadly isn't real, but very easy
Real carbon bonnet - looks good but the cost and swapping everything over.
People who have had bonnets, roofs etc.. wrapped -...
Added to my collection of detailing products so thought I'd give mine a clean and the mrs cleaned up hers!
The products -

Now I've heard good things about iron-x..... but wow! sprayed it on the boot of the 200 and it got too work...
Had a few little updates and a recent wash and wax today on the meg.
The car has been faultless in running, fantastic to drive and keeps a smile on my face. Over the past couple of months it has had a 36k service (despite only having 33k) hardly drive it through the week, 2 Michelin tires on...
I am looking to buy a double din stereo for my meg... and after ringing around a few companies they narrowed a few down for me. I am after some help to decide which one will be the best to go for.
The choices are -

JVC KW-NT30
JVC KW AVX40
JVC KW AVX840

Hello, I haven't had any problems like this before but came to look on laptop and it's disconnected the wireless? I tried starting over again, but when I come to input my password it says it cannot connect?!
Any ideas please
Just interested on how you achieve this, as a mate wants me to take some pics of his car but wants the plate blanked out..... I am running a mac, do I need photo software?
Cheers Rich
Has anybody got one of these or used one?? Thinking of getting a double din for the meg, and upon ringing a few companies up a few told me about this headunit, and gave it the thumbs up..

Noticed the rs tuning sticker and the Clio sport one on rear window.
Passed you on the motorway heading south near birmingham area, I was in a silver fabia with 'well bling alloys' on it. We were just on the way to pick new ones up. You had a car full

Haven't really put many pics up of the car, had it now for around 4 months (time flys!!!) as some of you may know I changed it from a trophy. Its a fantastic upgrade, power and speed is great, handling is fantastic and the brakes....well, there brembos.
The fuel cost as gone up more, but...
Pick it up on thurs, managed to give 'him' a good clean today. Oh and incase your wondering our mrs likes giving cars names, the lupo gti was called 'Billy''.....
1st off was a good snow foam, washed off, then clayed and all tar removed....
Cleaned the Wheels (which are being removed and sold)...
Well it had to go in here due to no clios! was a fantastic run out. The weather was fantastic (apart from the wind!) used a full tank of fuel in the meg and also tested to see what it can do!
Overhall I was very pleased with how it handled the bumps and corners....
On with the pics...
