This weekend I have changed a broken spring on the C2 that my Mrs wanted, until the day I bought it then she didn't want it. Up for sale soon if anyone wants a runabout.


On the megane I've fitted a powerflex upper mount insert, fitted DS1.11 pads, cleaned all wheel/hub mating faces as I couldn't get the wheels on/off properly.
Changed the spark plugs, changed the oil.

Still need to flush some new fluid through and have two tyres fitted, but that can wait for another day

Tried to solve my girlfriends random starting issue on her Pug 206. Wouldn't start a few times in November, so bought a new battery, seemed fixed. The other day it died at 3am when she finished work, so I had to go and jump start it.. assumed alternator. Tested alternator today and the readings were spot on, so now not sure where to look next.

It's slow to turnover and then starts, but if left for a few days it just wont start at all until jump started, and is then fine. Hmm..

@182Brodie what do you use to keep your trendlines clean mate? Mine need a good going over on the seat bases.

I use a karcher steam cleaner every few months i think its called the SC1 iirc itwas like 30 quid you can do carpets with it too its also got a seat attachment. Then usually just go over them with the vac with brush attachment, they're f***ers for collecting bits in the sides.

Does it have an aftermarket radio in? Sounds like theres maybe a constant live flattening the battery?

Nope! 100% standard, low mileage car. Bought off some nan, started on the button instantly for the first couple of months of ownership and now its playing up!

I had a 206 that used to cut out when ever i dropped the clutch turned out to be the earth strap on top of the gear box take out battery and its case and have a look in there. They can cause all sorts of problems when broken

Had the driver's side rear bumper repaired after a colleague forgot to set the handbrake on his V70 and it rolled into the Clio.
