Hello all, No heating at all from my valver and blocked heater matrix seems the likely cause. Has anyone suffered this before and managed to back flush the matrix or similar successfully without removing it from the car? Any tips? Also, has anyone got any sort of guide to replacing the...

it was quite possibly a laser or radar, but that doesnt mean you were done as mentioned previously you would have been stopped and shown the reading. Just because the officer has clocked your speed doesnt mean he will stick you on, i.e he might have looked at your speed and let you carry on past...

I dont own a Silver Mk1 or a dinosaur (anyone know the 0-60 on them?), but my filthy red Clio can be seen hiding in the distance behind Bubbles car!

Maybe because itll have a turbo strapped on, putting out 240bhp?! The 170bhp 5 door is a fun car to drive, and the new spec non-VXR turbo lump is 200bhp - all running 6 speed boxes and with a sport button that sharpens throttle response and road-holding/cornering. They really are a nice car to...

Irritates me a little, but I dont lose sleep over it. I was in a 3.2 Vectra GSi with Lozza_cup in the car, heading onto the M25 from Krispy Kremes in Enfield. Some t**ser in a V5 Bora was determined he was going to beat me despite the fact i wasnt "racing", and no matter how many times I let him...

Also Mike, if you have good credit and a good history with your bank, then try them for the loan as well. Even if there advertised rate is higher than what you have seen elsewhere, if you are a reliable customer i.e. long history and never overdrawn etc, they can give you a lower APR etc if they...

Yeah, there ya go guys, no biggy!! ... a proper Renault re-call is to issue a red safety recall grounding all 04 Renault Master vans to replace the steering wheels as a matter of urgency! None of that poncy wiper arm stuff! lol

im after cheap cup turinis or 182 rims so keep me in mind whatever comes of this wheeler-dealing!!

why would you have to declare that you have standard seats?! random!

Mk4 Astra GSi Turbo... quality motor!

What Daz said, but more to the point they are pretty crap IMO so why do you want them?! "Proper" bulbs give off light in all directions, which is reflected into the lens thus producing a solid area of light within the confines of that particular lamp. LED bulbs shine the majority of their...

lol @ Andi pulling random made up facts and figures from thin air!!

how would a camshaft change the stroke?! you mean crankshaft surely? [Edited by Liam_Dynamique (spelling error) on 13 February 2005 at 1:15pm]

fuel gauge probably needs recalibrating - youre probably refueling with a tenner left in it still.

LOL!

46 times? fookin hell mate!

Sorry for the hijack, but how do you rate your S2 and would you buy it again? Its one of the motors on my list of potential next cars!

exactly what i was about to say Clio_RSi!! Simple and effective. :)

yeah, some people eh felix?! *sighs* i mean sometimes late at night, i go to pull the curtains, look out the window and see a red clio, looks a bit done up like, wrong side of the road, no indicators, clearly way over the speed limit... some people eh?

alrite geeza

cold weather snd greasy roads, combined with dropped susp and brace, and your tracking probably aint right

I did mine myself for £40 using decent paint, but then used a high power pressure washer on the car yesterday and managed to flake some paint off! not a happy bunny. looked good though.

odd thing to worry about IMO :s

Id love both, but I think Id go for the VX - real b**ch to get in and out of with thr roof on though and Im only 23 - can see why james would struggle! lol

No, all the button replaces is the final twist of the key that turns the starter. You still need to turn the key to switch the ignirion on, and still need the key to be in the ignition to dis-arm the immobiliser.

Not early at all Rob - almost 400 miles overdue now! :oops: Had a new coil/leads about 1400 miles ago, new brakes a good few thousand miles ago, but all the plugs, filters and fluids have been on it since the 18k service... is starting to feel like it as well. Every weekend I plan to do it all...

damn, Has and Fred beat me to it! But yeah, what they said, cant change the leads and I wasnt even able to find any uprated plugs for it hence mine is still spluutering unhealthily away awaiting it 36k service whilst running on knackered plugs and crapped up air filter and 18400m old oil.

yeah, deffo not proxes - good in the dry but farely crap at this time of year.

Good post!

how about a mkV Astra SRi?
