Hi, in an earlier thread 'BANG' I told you all about an accident i had with a conviniently placed tree in the road - well here what happens when you hit a tree at approx 'cough' 70 mph!
Repairable:D
Anyway car is sorted out now - new shocker and 4 RS PH2 172 alloys and a replacement...
Well thanks to some t**t who hadnt tied down his load properely I hit a tree left in the middle of the road at about 70mph! Was on a dual carriage way in the dark just after a bend. I was in the outside lane overtaking 3 cars and suddenly it was in front of me!
Managed to swerve a bit so hit...
Hi,
Paintwork on my roof has seen better days so one option will be to have it wrapped.
I know very little about this so bear with me....
1 - Approx cost to do just roof - professional, don't fancy doing it myself!
2 - Can you get it the correct car colour or is it just generic base...
Hi,
After some advice on what i can check as my car is squeaking!!
On acceleration at lowish revs the car squeals a lot quite noisy, seems like its passenger side front, it does every time I accelerate.
Engine mount? suspension component of some sort or??? everything feels ok drive wise...
Well after my Ph2 172 shat its cambelt the hunt has been on for a replacement, so here she is..........
And trying to get a pic of the flake! Looks awesome in the sun:cool:
Some mods were on the car some i've added from my old clio - it needs a bit of tlc here and there but...
Hi all,
Well I 'think' my cambelt went this morning.
Just left home literally 500 yards from home changed down into second and there was a splutter/ cough possibly a bang (window down and tunes on so not sure) total loss of power all dash lights on and then coasted to the side of the road...
Well managed to get a quick clean in before the rain so i thought I would get a few pics with the new DSLR (first time user so be gentle!) + thought would show the freshly 'blinged' engine bay off as well. Got the day off tomorrow so will go and try some more pics, hopefully the sun will come...

Well taken the plunge - have gone 2nd hand to see how I get on before really splashing the cash so looking to start on a bit of a budget.
So Ive bought a Canon EOS 1000D, got 8 gig card, tripod with it for £155 but need a decent bag so on the hunt.

:S Is the thread for towing eyes different on different age cars?
I have just bought a s/s towing eye and it wont fit!
The std towing eye in the tool kit measures about 16.3mm in dia where as the new one measures nearer 17mm and wont fit?
I guess I can have the thread recut at work but am...
Out in the car today and it started playing up running ok then missing and running on 3. Managed to limp home. Suspected an injector and low and behold when the car was running taking the plug off no.3 injector made no difference to the running of the car - mate then popped around with his fault...
Well after defecting from Peugeot hot hatches I've now had the clio about 3 months and its been a fairly busy 3 months.......
So after getting the car (swopped for a 306 Rallye) gave it a good clean, clear side repeater lenses, KN panel filter and a aftermarket h/u were fitted fairly quickly...
Help please!
Up until this morning the car has been faultless but when I started it this morning it sounded like it was running on 3. When I tried driving it was very sluggish and a bit jumpy. When I got to 3k the engine management light started flashing. So I stopped and turned the car off -...
Well I have had the 172 for a month now - Ive fitted an alloy foot rest, KN panel filter, clear repeaters and my old JVC headunit, but today I tackled one of the things that was bugging me the most!
The headlights! they were crap.....really spoiled the front of the car.
So after looking at...
Hi all,

I have had a renault before...
