What have you done to your car today ???

[MicKPM]

tried to suss why the EML came on 3 mins after receiving the MOT refusal paperwork :/

Because French car!

My 172 did this for a week when the MIL just came on and off at random. Turned out to be the post CAT lamda so took it for a harsh of pure abuse around the back roads and now works perfectly.

Sometimes they just don't like being stood.

So 'Italian tune-ups' work then!

^and didn't even get your hands dirty

I feel safer knowing I haven't touched the car mechanically. I can do the brakes but suspension....I'll leave that to the experts.

Noticed my passenger side front tire is shamefully bald, its worn evenly but is more noticeably worn than the drivers side, the drivers side still being legal.

2x Uniroyal RS2's ordered @ £66 each delivered, hoping it helps the car feel more planted. Ive read on here that unevenly worn fronts can cause wandering at speed. Getting 2 birds stoned at the same time would be nice.

 

[danward]

Silvervisions fitted at the rear.
Metal throttle pedal fitted.
Metal footrest plate fitted.
iPod adapter installed for JVC headunit.

 

[Cup M@]

I gave the engine a lick of aluminium paint and re done the Renault sport logo looks a lot better

 

[James23]

Finished fitting the vibratechnics gearbox mount, Refitted the battery that had been on charge. Tried to fire it up but it cranked but wouldn't fire. Plugged the RS tuner in and had about 6 df009 codes - actuator relay fault. Having second thoughts about making it my daily now lol.

Did that once, still didn't get a threesome

 

[Poopensharten]

Snapped the cat and it now sounds like a f**king jet, with a hole in its exhaust.

Easy one... Most likely corrosion on the main control relay terminals, faulty main control relay or corrosion to the 30A/15A fuses in the bay stopping power flowing properly.

 

[James23]

Yeah I fixed it, sprayed a load of WD around there, looks like someone has been there before tho as there is solder on the bottom of one of the wires out of the top relay and is loose so have to push it in after the relay has been put in. F00king shed.
Next one to find is why the stereo or clock display things don't work!

 

[MicKPM]

Mine did that to and only came on when you actually turned the stereo on. Turned out to be a blown fuse but the previous owner decided to remove the dash top, took a wire from the back of the stereo and ran it to the clock.

That was so much easier than replacing a 10A fuse in the passenger side of the dash.

 

[largespiced]

Fitted new wheels to my car

Broke the err... Brakes.

How did you break your brakes? Ive broke mines twice in the last 2 weeks, hopefully for the last time on wednesday!

Wasn't today but this weekend I've washed, waxed, dressed the plastics, tyres ,etc. for the last time till spring, cleaned the interior and pretty much changed it back from a workvan to a clean car then fitted clean number plates instead of advertising a dodgy dealer.

Taking the day off tomorrow (today!) to garage it, as I didn't have the tools to do it at home.

Attempted to fit my exhaust tips while I save for a miltek

But they seemed to be more ballache than expected so took them off and now waiting for advice over on 197.net

 

[SC03OTT]

Got my lights adjusted. They now point at the road, not the sky. Being able to see is great.

 

[jesus]

Adjusted my bonnet (about 100 times) to get rid of the (uneven) gaps between the bonnet and top of the headlights. FINALLY!
