Hi everyone. As above, have a cruise & limiter issue where I get the applicable light on the dash but the controls on the steering wheel just do not work. They didn't stop working out of nowhere, they had been intermittent for a while. Anyone have any idea what will have caused this and how can...

When are you fitting it?

Dampers done. So last time I drove it, it was on the stock wheels, michelin ps3s, tracking out and dodgy damper. So now tracking done, wheels and tyres on and damper fixed, my god, it drives so well now. Just so planted. Inspires so much confidence.

As above on Queen's street this afternoon. I gave you the thumbs up, only I was walking past with my step son (had just dropped the car off to have dampers done lol). You looked pretty confused, don't blame you!

Got new tyres (RS2s) + wheels (15" ultraleggera et 37)fitted, but the setup works out slightly bigger than the 16"s, so on the corner where the damper has failed the arch is eating the tyre. Because of all this I haven't driven it properly yet :( damper gets replaced tomorrow though. What...

My ultraleggeras arrived Tuesday, all the way from Italy after being held up at Calais... turns out they sent me the wrong size. FUUUUUUUUU.

Will probably be going here http://finishingmatterslimited.co.uk/ I've changed my mind though, and will be going gold instead :D Getting delivered tomorrow. Cannot wait!

Was trying to decide between cams (421s) or lightweight wheels today, then I realised it's good practice to change the belts at the same time, but mine were done less than 3 years ago. So I ordered some new wheels. 15" OZ Ultraleggeras. Going to get them powder coated in orange before I put them...

Over the last week: New ABS sensor 2 new Michelin PS3s Full service (sparks, brake fluid, oil fluid, air filter etc etc) New exhaust lambda sensor Realigned headlights Reclipped CV boot Cleaned inside and out. New headlight washer pump MOT

New battery, low voltage is messing with cruise control. New pads, 80% worn all round. Scuff on bumper Headlights need polishing Door edge needs touching up Bonnet needs big ass chip repaired ... and I just had £500 worth of work done!

Got it washed and vaccumed, topped up oil, changed wipers. Too bad they did a less than great job with the cleaning, despite paying extra for the wheels, there is still plenty of brake dust left and wipe marks on the bodywork. Did well on the interior though. New wipers FTW, I always forget...

A reg something like that. You were on Queen street heading towards Stevenage way, I was going in the opposite direction, saw you coming away from the lights at the bottom of Windmill Hill, you didn't see me though.

Tesco Express on the Grange estate in Letchworth, was in to attend training course.

And still a lot cleaner than mine! :/

You must work in the store (I work for Tesco too, just not at Baldock) as you were there for hours, but yeah couldn't resist parking next to you. Spotted your CS.net tax disc holder, then looked for mine in my car and couldn't find it... then looked in your car and saw how clean it was (as well...

HAHA Suprised that wasn't me! Been pulled 6 times in 6 months round here. The cops are nice enough if you show them respect (they all had reason to pull me).

Haha, just did some checks on the car. Found it. Loose wheel nut! Rookie mistake!

So I've recently put my car on Cooksport springs, well I did it half and half, I did the rears, went to do the fronts and didn't realise I'd need an impact hammer and penetrating oil, so I ended up doing it 5 weeks later (didn't get a weekend off until then). The car drove fine while just the...

Thanks guys, both sides of the car were jacked up, interestingly I think the previous owner tried to bodge a lowering job as the cups at the top of the struts were jammed In to the top coil of the springs! Ended up having to compress the springs using a breaker bar and a jack (compressors...

I know, incorrect section but I need help urgently. Fitting new springs in the 182, fitted new springs on the front dampers but now the dampers will not fit back onto the car. They are simply too long, the CV joint gets I'm the way. Any idea what's going on?! No mentio of this happening in the...

Or, sell the clio and use the 4K cams and ITBs to buy a new car with. That'd give you 8k, probably give you something faster than a 182 on ITBs and Cams... Looking at doing the same myself (itbs) but you can get some interesting machinery at that money (boxsters etc)

Are you sure it's not just... rain? Rain that's run along the underside of the car and dripped off?

Shouldn't make any difference, unless you're mapped for 99 RON. I run it because the car is mapped for 98 and it's pretty close :p I haven't seen any difference between it and the old V-power.

3K for full set up including fitting and set up, that's a big pill to swallow!

I doubt that mate. I haven't been able to give her a proper going over in months! (and now I feel guilty). Surprised I haven't seen you around before. BTW, the ITBs, they worth it? I'm kinda thinking about it.

Parked at the top of Icknield way Letchworth, very clean and on Speedlines :)

I gave you the thumbs up as I went past in the BG, you gave the thumbs up back :) Looked lovely btw!

Woman takes care over speed bumps, bloke thinks she can't drive? Does he pelt it at speed bumps in his Scooby screaming I WISH I WAS RICHARD BURNS, attempting to get some air?

172 In Hitchin today on Queen Street at 16:00, I was on foot so you wouldn't have seen me. Anyone off here?

That's not necessarily a bad thing, it gets more economical above 2k. I get better economy in 4th at 40 than I do in 5th at 40. If you cruise at 56, you'll get >40mpg btw. However, you'll also fall asleep due to not having to pay any attention to anything what so ever, crash into the central...
