Mine was mainly due to the prices at the time - I was looking at Fiesta ST's but wanted something with a bit more poke!
This is autobrite foam with their own lance too bought a big 5L bottle a few years back and still no where near empty!

Fair reason for buying! I'm not jealous at all...
Cheers for the heads up on the snow foam mate, might have to invest
No worries!
I think there's group buys on detailing world too - so potential to save a few quid too
Cleaned the seatbelts. Definitely worth it as you don't really realise how dirty they are until they are cleaned up!

I've had just my car oil changed. I didn't go to the car shop like I normally would. I wanted to do this by myself.

Passed an mot! Woop. Only 2 problems, back seat missing and rear brake efficiency.
What do you clean them with ?
Sorry bit of a late reply, but I fully extended the belts and trapped them in the closed door. They were soaked in a bucket of fairy liquid and agitated with a standard detailing brush.
Tbh, the main improvement comes by blasting them with the pressure washer up close (be prepared to get soaked though).

Gave the car a service today, oem plugs, filter and oil
Out with the old
In with the new plugs
I hope you didn't pay retail for those plugs. Aren't they like £70 from the dealer? I paid £35 from local place. Same plugs without Renault box
£35 I paid from adam Renault Wolverhampton on here. Never been to my local dealer for parts I've always got them from Adam and they're here the next day anyway
Clio 172 (CUP)
Snap, and funny enough, my old ones where also Bosch. Hoping it will run better as I hear these motors are a little fussy on spark plugs. Have yet to start her up after a cambelt change... eekk! [emoji26]
run a lot better for me, smoother idle and it feels a lot smoother through the revs. I wouldn't use any other plugs.

Been putting off doing this job since I got the car in March. Spent a good 4 hours restoring my headlights with the 3m headlight kit. Got to say the results are really impressive. Not sure whether the lights would of been an MOT failure, the indicator top section was in a shocking state. Haven't got any photos to show yet i'll put them up later.

Spent all day cleaning it, inside and out. Went over to my brother's to use his machine polisher, was very good! Car was looking nice (still need to sort the front bumper out and get some funds up to get the wheels powder coated orange as I love the orangeness of them!) And then this happens on the drive back to mine:
Tyres were new back in May. Damaged some of the paint work on the wheel, and now a garage is going to damage it even more by running their tools over it. Great. But again, even more of an excuse to get them sand blasted and powder coated!!

Nothing to mine but yesterday spent 13 hours working on my friends Saxo, clutch change, driveshafts and wheel bearings. They've been noisy for months. I've literally never seen bearings welded into place quite like it. FUCKED!

Made the most of my wheel being off the car and gave it a good wash. Brake dust does build up!!
Just bought a few bits from members on here. Both front cup shocks for the 182, pair of front calipers, buying some more cup springs as one of mine has cracked.
Next week order some brembo HC discs and pads.
Then get it serviced, MOT'd and taxed.
Then get it detailed, alloys refurbed and new rubber all round.
Then enjoy.
