Changed the rear wheel bearings:

Cotter pin was a nightmare to shift out of the way of the lower caliper bolt, had to break out the 4lb hammer :S

 

[sven_8t4]

Put the 'new' windscreen inand drove the beasty home on works trade plates

 

[CrippsCorner]

Washed, polished, brought the black trim back to life and made the tyres gleam... what else you gonna do with the only day in July it hasn't rained!

 

[H.Maxim]

Removed the Renault Sport badge today, fitted the RS 192 yesterday.

 

[partybish]

Took it to the garage to have Conti CS3's put on

 

[jenkzy]

[olihodgson]

Had the nightmare task of workin out why my washer jets wouldn't spray! Thought it was just dirt build up as could hear the pump working, didn't realise there are 2 pumps though, one for lights, one for screen!
Wiper arms were almost welded on, took ages to get off, then couldn't budge water bottle under wiper mechanism!
Got it sorted but took hours, but atleast it wont fail MOT on screen wash now!

I fixed that on my old car by forcing compressed air down the washer tube, worked a treat and only took 2 mins.

That was the first thing I did, and it cleared a load of gunk out but didn't fix anything (have a commercial air compressor from a Shell Petrol Station). As it turns out one of the pumps had packed up, so switched them around so now the pump for the lights is plumbed into the wind screen jets. Should get it through its MOT an then i'll buy another pump at a later date for the lights

 

[anderwhoo]

Yes they have been powder coated in darker anthracite. Make a different to my orange ones on ATM. Ha

 

[JP83]

Drove 50 miles to Birmingham to City Powdercoating, only to be told that the wheels I dropped off last week "reacted to the acid dip" (funny, another guy was told that when I dropped mine in last week), and were't ready, and driving 50 miles home again.

Apparently he'd told "the guy" whoever he was, to ring me yesterday to tell me.

No call or voicemail on my mobile.
Having tried several times Thursday, 4 times Friday, and then this morning before I left to get hold of them on the phone only for it to ring... and ring... and ring.

I so nearly rage quit when I was told that I'd have to make the 100 mile round trip again next weekend.
