Gloucester services....that mean you are local to the area of just passing? The only Ph1 I saw in Gloucester or surrounding area was mine. Would be good to see another kicking about.

What are the plans for this one? Daily driver, weekend project or dare I say track machine?

The last pic is just of the rear wheel but it's gotten riffy already is it from lack of driving or are the discs/pads in need of changing..

You know what @boomerbang2006 when I get the odyssey back on the road I'll pop down and see you for an old boys meet, glad you're back in the game and lavishing love on the new 'missus' although I never frequented the mondeo forums so no idea if you approached the in-between daily the same?!

That would be a good meet...the mondeo was just a stop gap,i always knew i`d be back in a clio just had no idea which type.

Car is booked in for its first job..vented front brakes and mintex rears to be fitted by Lee of Renault specialist West Bromwich...

Fronts have gone on no problems rears don't fit,bearings are slightly out so looks like they will be going back...

Little updated...slowly but surely...Mick at diamond motors fitted a lower rs inlet last week giving me a smoother and seems more responsive drive.Ive got a knocking at the front end from acceleration in first so it's a dogbone or gearbox mount next job.

Had a little issue last week..fuel feed pipe had a small leak, I'd managed to do a temporary fix but today she got a brand new pipe fitted...onwards and upwards.

Front bearings were making a noise once I went over 30mph so got them changed,I've had someone run into the back of me and drive off and they have left me with a dented boot so I'm after a replacement..I've got some bits to fix next but the bootlid is my priority..

FFS - cheeky b******s. I guess it could have been worse and they might have hit the front and creased that cherished aluminium bonnet.

Would that dent be viable to be 'popped out'?

Not sure.. I've seen other colour replacement bootlid for about £60 which I guess is cheaper than a dent repair.
