It sounds like I am doing the car a diservice (just being honest), it's a good car, I just need to sell it as I will hopefull have a new one coming this week.......I don't want to pay to insure 4 cars! Hot off the press.

Has a couple of car park dinks and paint chips. Tyres not the best, but road legal. Sounds like a front bearing going at the front (you'd not hear this on a test drive) but it's not as I had it done. Suspected engine mount.

I'd take less, then no one can b**ch about things being wrong etc

Made a mistake - they are 2118. Alloy and not magnesium.

Depends on the condition of the Turinis....but I'd consider it.

There are cups avaiable, 3 years newer, less miles for only 1k more than that!

I was thinking the private poor price....too cheap? Private Good: £6,610 Private Average: £6,010 Private Poor: £5,280 Part Exchange: £6,250 Trade: £6,128

I've got a Clio cup that is a 53 reg with Climate Control. Eibach springs and White speed line 2020 wheels with legal but worn Eagle F1 tyres. a couple of used spare too. Done about 34 k miles, full service history etc. Now, it's not perfect but I'm willing to let it go for a cheap price...

The change of brake fluid is responsible for most of you "upgrade".

It's also a daily drive for my Fiance too, so I'm keen not to make it uncomfortable. Any more ideas on this driveshaft/bearing/CV thingy? Pretty sure it's not the bearing as it got changed just a few days before this noise started.

French registered thing?

I was there from the 6th to the 16th.

After 35000 miles and about 300 laps of the 'ring, dear old C172 CUP is feeling her age a little. I'm failry certain her shocks are getting a bit worn and I need a suitable replacement, it doesn't need to be a full race setup, but something a little more hardcore than what I currently have...

Nige took pics. Came out pretty good really :)

If anyone knows the owner, maybe they can link to the thread ;) I followed a Ferrari through the barriers in the Clio. He'd been in the carpark posing and went out for a lap.. The opportunity was too good to be missed. However, he just wouldnt let the 'faster' Clio pass, on the straight he...

What a ball ache the rear brakes are with the little spring and the l shaped bar! Glad I dont have to do that for another couple of years!

Not my pic, but.....turn and push. After tea. :D

Cleary I'm being a plum, but how the hell do you move the rear brake piston inwards? Do I just keep turning it until it goes in enough, or do you turn it a certain amount of degrees and then push it it? Doing my head in!!

But Renault stuff is rebranded stuff and I'd rather not pay for their packaging, it's not like Renault are actually in the business of making brake pads ;) Feel free to give me a quote though, and I'd need everything by the weekend. Thanks Dave

OK, I need the following OEM parts. Can anyone give me the GSF part numbers? Fronts Pads Rear Pads Rear disks Rear bearings Thanks Dave

2118 are nice looking wheels but heavy. They are really listed as a rally wheel, so they are strong. In 15 inch they are heavier than 16 Turinis....

OK - I've just had a wheel off to see if I can see any markings...cant see anything that says 2020 or 2118. So I weighed a 195 50 15 tyre and it came in about 7kg...I then weighed a wheel....17kg. Now my scales are rubbish so you can take any reading 1kg either way, but I'm certain these...

Pics ;)

You can confirm it to me on Monday....although I already think I know what the answer is.

My scales are not accurate, but I'd guess they weighed 1kg more. You could feel the difference by picking the wheels up. If I'd got these at a bargain basement price I'd not care too much but I did pay a lot expecting them to be magnesium.......which they still might be, but I just cant...

I've just put the wheels on, and while I was doing it I thought I'd weigh them and see how light they were. To say I was shocked to see they weigh more that the 16inch Turinis I removed is an understatement. I'm dissapointed to say the least.

As long as it won't shag my tyres for running around for 2 months :) Are you free next Monday :)

Are these easy to fit? Can you do them yourself, easy DIY job? Recommendations for wheel alignment too...?

Yep, ebay tastic. I've not picked them up yet, but they have been sold as 2020s. Looks like I might need some centre caps, and in the future a set of Eibach springs.

Apparantly they are 300 each! These will be used full time, I'm selling the 16 inch wheels. Apparantly there is some concern about using them all the time on the road, but Porsche have been selling road cars with Magnesium wheels for a while, so I should be OK. And at least I can have...
