    How much %age increase!

    My renewal came through from The AA, £254 from £145 last year, increase of +75%. Tried Greenlight and they wouldn't entertain me because my car isn't modified. So just went with someone generic from Compare the Market at £167. I did find someone on Compare offering £165. Went through the...

    Found a bolt in the engine bay. Let’s play “where does it go?”

    Bolt number 11 is what I took a photo of above. Bolt number 2 there are two of. See this image, it's actually got the reference numbers that are missing above.

    Found a bolt in the engine bay. Let’s play “where does it go?”

    I’ve got my alternator off at the moment. This is the bolt I’ve got for reference 11 in the diagram. 16mm head unflanged, with washer

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    Sounds like a similar sort of thing. The Megs kit comes with small pads of different graded wet and dry that you use by hand and also a woolly buffing pad you use with a drill along with the supplied PlastRx (I think it’s called) to polish them up.

    Jim's Black Ph2 172 (Just like everyone else's!)

    It’s on the outside. I’ve used the Meguiars headlight restoration kit on my lights and works well, finished off with some UV sealant. It’s almost an annual job though, but it is rewarding

    The Cars Spotted Appreciation Thread

    Nothing fancy here but I do like seeing old workhorses still doing their thing, like these pair of 90’s survivors

    All Titanium & Icebergs!

    I tied the knot a few weeks ago. Having had my Clio for almost 16 years it was rude not to tart it up for the big day :cool:

    Couple of bank holiday spots. And this was sent from my dad who caught this on his cycling camera on Friday in Wigan o_O

    Hopgop1's RB 182

    I’m using those Velcro coins that Amos has linked above and never had any problems. It takes the stress out of ensuring your plate is level too as you can just take it off and try again ;)

    Hopgop1's RB 182

    New lights looks great! Your RB keeps getting better :cool: Have you considered using Velcro discs to attach your number plate? Less faff to attach your plate and super easy to remove your plates when cleaning.

    Any interest in another titanium tidy up?

    Looks great! How did you get on with wiring the brake light? I’ve picked up a cup spoiler to fit but the connectors from the car to the spoiler are different sizes. I presume there’s another connecting piece specifically for cup spoilers that’s missing from mine :cautious:

    Detailing Chat & Questions Thread

    Can anyone recommend a hose upgrade for my Karcher K4, please? The standard hose is dreadful and forever coils up. I’ve seen a few on Direct Hoses. Are they worth buying? Cheers (y)

    Warning lights

    As above, ABS rings or sensors. When one of my ABS rings needed changing I was getting the above lights but I could also feel the ABS activating under light braking. Maybe you’re getting the same?

    I didn’t spot this as such, just stumbled across it on Twitter and thought it was worth a share Mk1 Espace on Speedlines :D

    Old Crusty - restoring my rotten BG 182

    Great work so far! There's something about seeing rust photos that make my skin crawl o_O What are other areas on the car like - offside arch/behind petrol cap and inner sills?

    All Titanium & Icebergs!

    Thought I’d post mine in here. I got my 182 when I first joined CS in 2007. Loved the car in the early days but thanks to other hobbies and life getting in the way it sadly turned into a daily hack more than anything to be proud of. Fast forward to today, and after almost three years of SORN...

    Hopgop1's RB 182

    Looks picturesque! Did you get the alternator shield fitted? I’ve just fitted a fresh upper grille. The shield clips to the grille which clips to the bumper. You can remove/fit the shield without removing the bumper or grille by removing the top two plastic grille clips on the slam panel giving...

    iPod Touch Help - Internet Connection

    Hi, I bought an iPod Touch (8 gb, brand new) a couple of weeks back. So far it's been brilliant. I set it up to my home Wi-Fi and Sky email account when I got it, and it's worked fine with no problems at all. Today I have added another email account to my iPod, which is a Microsoft Exchange...
