What have you done to your car today ???

[mikeclio99]

i did as a laugh only cost £1 if i dont like i just peel off its only tint film

 

[Clio_fool]

Filled up with 95 octane. I'm not convinced that bp ultimate is any better, especially for 10p per octane in every litre.
I'll change my mind when my engine melts though!

 

[Mikeyjp]

Thats because you need to filling up with shell optimax, not BP rubbish

 

[Clio_fool]

I dunno if there's any shell stations round these parts. Its all bp or texaco. I don't think tesco do 99 anymore near us.

 

[R3k1355]

There's a Shell at Tankersley off J36 of the M1, there's also one in Hoyland and Birdwell.

 

[banther]

The BP stuff is shite!! 97 RON I think - the GTi runs like a bag of dicks on it!!

Loving the full fat Tesco Momentum stuff at the moment - only 112.9 as well!

 

[R3k1355]

I don't think the BP stuff gets sold often enough, so it just sits around in the tanks for ages going off.

People have complained about that fuel for many years.

 

[Mr R.]

Got the wheel aliment checked and adjusted on the car.

It drives so much better now.

Before.

After.

 

[Richard]

Got some Federal 595RSR for the Trophy...

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Got it back on the road!

 

[S-JM]

Epic!

 

[mikeclio99]

Awesome

 

[JP83]

Gone to see Chris the welder to double check the seat rail placement. Hopefully he'll have those welded in this afternoon, and might be able to finish off the cage too.

 

[dajones]

Fitted my TRC Splitter

 

[DaveDreads]

Oil change, gearbox oil topped up, spare air filter fitted while I clean and re-oil the main one, splitter bodged back on, stage 1 of operation kennel clean, f*ck me it's filthy in there, bloody sh*t weather has covered the dog in mud, which in tern has covered the interior of the car in mud.

 

[mikeclio99]

Took it out for its first good run from wellington to minehead then up porlock hill towards blackwater gate then back slong north devon link road to home and flipping loved it

 

[oreA]

Gearbox oil change for me. Foul stuff . To get the oil in I butchered a 2 pint plastic milk bottle to make a funnel - so when upside down the milk bottle handle curved just the right amount to fit in the top-up hole :tonguewink:.

Also cleaned up the plastic undertray - 'twas hanging :tired:!

Engine oil and filter change tomorrow.

 

[KitsonRis]

Washed the daily. Looks nice and shiny

Jet washed the rear arches of the 172. Hope I haven't made it rust anymore......

 

[Clio_fool]

Rammed 30 miles of unneeded connectors behind my radio so I can plug my ipod in and fook the radio off tomorrow.

Hang on, where's my ipod gone??

 

[oreA]

Cured my first rattle today.....with a judicious use of a Nando's receipt :tonguewink:

 

[Stay Puft]

I find that hitting the top of the clocks/dash works a treat to stop rattles.

 

[JB21]

Just about to attempt the following:
Oil service
Lowering springs
New dampers
Camber bolts
Exhaust hangers
Bleed brakes
Service my mates Astravan (oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter)

Fun times...

 

[cs_dave]

Swapped a leaky wiper washer bottle for i hope a not leaky one

 

[Clio_fool]

Parked it in a field and enjoyed watching rs Clio's being used properly. Great day out.

 

[oreA]

Dismantled and reassembled the rear brakes to make sure everything is sound (car is new to me). Then gave everything a good clean and dressed with Auto Finesse Dressle :up:

Before....

After....

 

[mikeclio99]

fitted my fatty's alternative kit sounds awesome

 

[welshname]

Not mine but fitted full leathers from the fiesta metal to my mum's new runabout. The seats need a clean as they are all dusty from storage.

That and took my mates beater Golf to the Albanians before I took it back to get my Clio. Kind of miss the Golf tbh. Anyone fancy a 197?

Get a PD engined something and make it quick!

 

[Mr R.]

Took it for a well deserved drive to the cafe with a nice blast through the lanes on the way home.

 

[cat171]

Saw it hit 54,000 miles yesterday. I bought it on 27k nine 1/4 years ago!

Bodykit for life yo!!

 

[Clio_fool]

Filled it with 95 again. Didn't have enough in to make it to the shell garage!

 

[scotiamr2t]

Looked at it, thought about taking it out for a drive but couldn't be arsed.

 

[DanSej6]

Wiped the dash down, cleaned the glass inside, replaced that silly plastic bush on the gearbox and whipped the inlet off to change the spark plugs, which were well past their best even though they weren't due for replacement.
Got tracking to do (again!) and gearbox oil change this weekend.

 

[Nobafett]

Just had this delivered. Brand new Recaro base, never sat in. Going to fit it tomorrow.

 

[stb182]

Sold the heap of s..t

 

[Daz...]

Got it back from the garage with a new clutch and gearbox mounts.

 

[Wezwoz]

Done a few things this week
Painted wheels black really impressed
Had the stripes fitted
And fitted the 197 steering wheel feels a lot better than the original

 

[mikeclio99]

Fitted new skoda splitter and rear lambda sensor

 

[Feirny]

New exhaust.
