What have you done to your car today ???

[olihodgson]

Pulled wipers all off again to get at washer bottle. When fitted pumps back, one rubber seal didn't go in properly to bottle so was leaking. Did it all again, no leaks now though

 

[sbridgey]

Filled the coolant up again. 4 litres in 2 days f**k sake.

 

[DaveDreads]

Sounds like you've got a nasty leak mate, any pools of coolant under the car?

 

[sbridgey]

Nope, it pisses out when i am driving.

I am taking it apart tomorrow.

 

[DaveDreads]

Do you think the heat expansion is opening a leak, then closing up when it cools down?

 

[sbridgey]

No idea, was thinking either the Rad or the Thermostat.

 

[DaveDreads]

My radiator had to be replaced last month,
a small leak started and then within a week it was pissing steam after a few miles,
it fell to pieces when it was taken out. :S

 

[sbridgey]

I will take a look at mine, hopefully its not expensive

 

[JezzaMac]

Put a new CV boot on so that it will pass its MOT. Nippy little thing to put on.

Did you go for Renault part or universal? Mind me asking where you got it from and what you paid? Need a drivers side outer boot, Renault want a fortune, considering a Duraboot universal one at 1/5th the price!

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.

For how much you pay, the job they do is great. Customer service is their let down. I was due to pick mine up from them on a Friday. I had to ring them 45 times on the Thursday to actually get through (i'm about the same distance away as you are from them). I was raging at that point. When I actually got my hands back on them though, on the Friday evening, I was well pleased.

Today, I have put my car on the grass and plan to leave it there until Wednesday. It's pretty much on empty atm and i've challenged myself to not have to fill up until Wednesday, which means ill be cycling everywhere for the next couple of days.

gotit valued for hocking in, in favour of an MX-5 (Baller-spec)

 

[Flat Eric]

Had this happen yesterday from a puncture, was lucky it didn't ruin the alloy

Had two part worn contisport 2's put on the front I got given from a friend who used to have a 182.

All good now.

The Turini's I think have transformed the car, the 182 standard alloys just do not do it justice!

Get my Cup spoiler within the next week also and then I don't know what else to do!

 

[Ray Gin]

Fitted a KTR Induction kit to it. Swore at it several times.

 

[sbridgey]

Matt you need black headlight surrounds would look so much better

[Harpham]

Finally ordered some new headlight bulbs. Only been about 6 weeks since one of them blew.
