    do i go for the gt

    Sorry to hear youve had such trouble with your car. Thats a very long list of fail right there. My understanding of the rejection system is that it needs to be the same fault that occurs 3 times, as the manufacturer must be given 3 attemtps to fix it. Thats the dilemma I was in with my black...

    SX Kit removal

    The OP asked a question. You came on and said SX kit FTL. He didnt ask your opinion of the kit. Nor did I. If you cant help or have nothing to contribute to the thread apart from bullshit, then simply dont post.

    Taste. They have none.

    Citroen 2CV. One of the classics! :cool: What "special edition" is that then? Not the Wolfrace, is it?

    My 205 Gti

    Awesome car! One of my all time favourites behind the R5 GTT and Clio Williams!! Is she the 1.9 or the 1.6? Either way, the car looks remarkable after being sitting for so long! Is is just the pic or is the drivers seat a little on the tired side too?

    SX Kit removal

    Look, I dont particularly care if YOU like the kit or not. I happen to like it. Thats all that matters. Kindly PFO and stop insulting other members and their cars.

    Part number

    I dont know the part number but the splitter ONLY came on the Mk1 Ph1 Laguna from 1994 through 1998 until the facelift. The vented splitter was then replaced for a solid splitter similar to the Mk1 Megane. Hope this helps mate, but I do remember reading that you will probably have to bend over...

    SX Kit removal

    Mines got self tapping screws in it. Its also bonded with double sided tape which shat itself twice. Its now been rebonded. Wonder how long this will last...

    Removing Swirl Marks

    It depends how deep the scratches are and how bad the swirls are. YES, you can have a go and YES most polishes will simply fill the swirls but they will come back in a couple of washes. To repair them, you really need the MP.

    197 brake fade??

    I would imagine they are just worn pads tbf. Im gonna have a look at the car over the weekend so will try and jack the car and take off a wheel and look. Id suggest DS2500 pads :approve:

    Removing Swirl Marks

    You should be able to get everything you need from any of the detailing supplies websites. And I agree with the MP comment. Kestrel DA polisher is your friend :)

    Removing Swirl Marks

    First use a light cutting compound such as one from the Menzerna range. Then use a finishing polish and sealant, Chemical Guys P40 finishing polish and Jetseal 109 to seal and then wax the car for the final shine. Dont do just one panel, do the whole car :D

    Emissions warning light - 197

    This happened with my last Clio 1.4. They replaced the coils, then the lambda, then couldnt find anything after a week, and then again they had it for 6 bloody weeks and STILL couldnt find the fault nor replicate it. I ended up having to buy the current Clio. Guess what happened. Same...

    Adam, best of luck mate! Hope the weather improves for our shoot on Saturday! @LY, shes a Black Gold car. Looks perfect. My advice is to let me drive it :rasp:

    Anyone use eMule?

    Bumpo. Come on, anyone on here? Has to be someone? If not, then at least recommend something to replace it?

    Anyone use eMule?

    I recently downloaded an update version of eMule but Im having a problem. Its only picking up one server but in the section where you can update the server file the URL is blank. Anyone any suggestions or help?

    Looks really well mate, top work, and fair play to you for doing all the work yourself!

    car wont stop revving? stops when brakes are pressed

    I had this exact same problem with my old Megane 1.6. It was nothing to do with getting wet as I hadnt cleaned the engine bay. It turned out to be a fuel flow sensor that failed. Get her on diagnostics asap mate.

    197 Cruise Control

    That warning light is tied to the boot as well so just make sure its closed too. Did the interior lights stay on while you were driving? Something to check anyways Adam :)

    Nokia 5800 Bluetooth

    You know, its funny. 3 days after getting it and having it installed, a mate of mine was fitting my lowering springs and he says dude why did you get the old one lol!! He said I should have gotten the CK3200 cos is a bigger and colour screen. I dunno. It works ok so thats all I need really.

    Advice on the car...

    Smooth and blend the bumper and side rub strips, it wouuld look better than colour coding. Colour code the mirrors. Yellow fogs. Valver spoiler. Valver or Williams interior, or perhaps retrimmed leathers? Depends on your budget really mate.

    Nokia 5800 Bluetooth

    Yeah, look fair enough, Ive no issue about that at all. I wasnt after an argument anyways. I didnt buy it to play music, thats what the CD player in my Clio is for! As I said, I bought the kit to make and take calls safely.

    My Car - Not Much Changed

    Never thought of taking shots of the bay, will do it tomorrow when theres more light. Thanks lads, glad you like her!

    Nokia 5800 Bluetooth

    No need to be snotty about it. God sake man. And yes, I do use it for the intended purpose, i.e. making and receiving calls. The specs say it can play music, I tried it, it failed. That is all.

    Another 'which' camera .... (help needed)

    To the OP, I would like to know what your current set up is? Have you done any photography courses? Im in a similar boat to yourself. I want to broaden my skills, but I think that at the end of the day you can get great results from ANY camera, even a compact or even a disposable. Its about...

    Some help with polishing please

    We got a bunch of them made up here by a sticker guy we know in Dublin. Cost a fiver each but it was worth it hehe. Any decent sticker maker could do it really.

    Mk3 Steering

    The ride is a bit more harsh over bumpy surfaces, you get a bit tossed round if the road is lumpy and in rubbish nick. Also be careful with speed bumps! But for cruising, its excellent. Handling wise its much better, its got a whole lot more grip, she corners better, and gives confidence to...

    Mk3 Steering

    No problem mate. I got Eibach 30mm springs from K-Tec. I didnt go with spacers. I think she really needs them in the rears but not so much up front. 30mm was just enough for me as I have some pretty killer speed ramps near me and with the SX kit she scrapes sometimes even only on 30mm...

    Opinions on these wheels please

    They look awful IMO. Although, not quite as bad as the Chevrolet Kalos I saw yesterday with spinners. Yes. Spinners. But not ordinary spinners. Hubcabs with spinners. In chrome. :dead:
