Woke up this morning to find someone had snapped my aeriel off.
not a bee-sting or anything, my totally standard black renault aeriel, and left it on the roof.
dads car was fine, next door neighbours too, but someone snapped mine off and left it for me :cry:
managed to work the thread...
When i have ahd my sunroof open, it will rattle for about 3 or 4 days after doing so, then seems to shut up.
any ideas for a quick fix? as will be wanting the roof open with the hopefully warm weather approaching
cheers
Today me and a mate went to this bit of disused road to give our cars a quick blast.
A) i cant get my car moving fast from a standstill
B) theres a problem switching to second..
A) - how do you all launch your RTs? Build the power slow, or drop the clutch out at a certain rev point...
My car (1.4 RT) doesnt sound beefy enough.
any cheap mods thatll boost the noise a little?
dont really want to have to inform the insurance company if possible...
cheers
Ive heard from a few people that insurance companies will insure you as a pass plus driver, providing you pass it withing like 7 weeks of taking up the policy. anyone got any more info on this? as it saves waiting around for 3 or so weeks for pass plus to come back 9when i can actually drive in...
had a quick search, couldnt see any posts relating to my car -
If i wanted to change the gaiter, and NOT buy a new surround, could i do it?
was looking at one of them Type VR surrounds, but cant see how the gaiter is secured on the RT, looks like the leather is trapped.
as far as i can...

when i started the car up this morning to look at something, it was lumpy as hell, felt like it was going to stall. gave it some revs and it calmed down. turned the engine off, and back on and it was doing it again, gear stick shaking, vibration in the car. its been sat on my grass for 2 days...
did anyone take off the little bit of black plastic behind the normal orange ones?
would they still fit if you did this?
does it look better you think?
Bearing in mind im going to get shafted sideways with insurance anyway, so cant afford/wouldnt be allowed to have a proper exhaust system - is it really TOO tacky just to put on a nice shiny exhaust trim?
do them ones with built in "muffler" make any sound difference?
cheers
(i know its...

which mk1 clios had yellow foggers, was it the williams only? as someone else told me this
if so, will williams fogs (or yellow fogs) fit an N reg RT?
where can i get some fogs for an N reg rt, preferably yellow please :)
oops, Erm, went to look at another 1.4 RT, a five door, and the window seals on the back (mainly the verticle bits) had bubbles where there was rust underneath
is this cheap/easy to fix - or nothing to worry about?
cheers
Hi all, went to look at a 1.4RT today, and noticed a few things that are knackered with it, but in general is a nice car.
right, both fogs are filled with water - will need new ones, how much do fogs and seals cost?
The passenger electric window goes up, but barely, will need a new motor i...
Right, i know f**k all about ICE, and will hopefully need a system soon (if i pass test).
can allow £200 for a system for a 1.4RT, including headunit, and speakers etc.
not nothered about a sub really.
dunno what i need, so if you suggest a £200 HU, and no new speakers, so be it...
Hi all, got my driving test quiet soon, and although im not confudent, i know i might need to buy a car soon.

cheers (plus any buying tips would...

If im a named driver on my dads insurance, can i get some NCB? i was just wondering, as eve though you dont have any insurance in your name, youre still insured and driving, so as long as no claims are made, do you get a bonus?
