What have you done to your car today ???

[Clio_fool]

Washed all the cars (excluding the wife's obvs). The gold was popping and the pearl is flipping in the sun. Did renaultsport do a bad colour?

Petrol blue

 

[Andy P]

Fitted the Pure carbon shaft which goes nicely with my carbon skinned gear knob

 

[Filters]

Dragged it out of hibernation, thought about washing it…gave up and went for a drive instead. Forgot how fun this little sh*tbox is!

Spent the rest of the day playing Tetris to get this out from the back of my garage to the front ready to have it fitted next week. RBRO22 5SXX rear cage with front RBR022 3SXX and cross door bars.

Now hunting for a set of coilovers and a stud/nut kit for the wheels.

 

[joe hk&uk]

Had fresh belts, water pump job done finally also some minor things like plugs & leads, some sensors have been sorted by Floyd

 

[martynrg]

Picked my 182 up from having a full cambelt service this week and treated it to some fresh new matts today

 

[Filters]

Stripped the interior out ready for the cage to go in. Soon to be one less 172 cup on the road 😬

 

[Addz]

Can’t remember the last time I posted on here…my weekend car decided it didn’t want to come out of hibernation so the daily Trophy got dragged out for a good thrashing around the Peak District which reminded me why I have such a soft spot for Clios, Can honestly say I’d have had less fun in the Caterham

 

[NickReilly063]

Where’s your picture taken Addz ???

Did you get up as high as Woodhead reservoir as it look familiar - however most roads look the same around there.

 

[Addz]

Just before the cat and fiddle on the annoying 50mph average camera bit, quite fun seeing if you can stay at 50 around all the tight corners though!

Didn’t go that way this time, headed back to Matlock through some very narrow winding bits

 

[Darren S]

The extremely technical and involved process of swapping out the nearside rear indicator bulb.

I was pleasantly surprised that I knew exactly where my pack of spare Silvatec bulbs were, also.

 

[MarkCup]

I took these ugly mofos

...and did this...

...much improved, but rain stopped play so only 10/20 are complete.

 

[Mr Squashie]

Out with the old...

In with the new!

Somehow snapped a bolt while undoing it, luckily there's plenty of thread poking out the back so I'll get a set of pliers on there and remove it when I've got a spare. May as well replace all 6 tbh.

Only thing that's odd is that the sidelights don't work, but stupidly I didn't bother checking them first so I don't know if they were already dead or if it's something I've done 🤷🏻‍♂️ seems unlikely that I've managed to kill two LED bulbs but I'll stick some replacements in and see.

Pretty happy with the quality from Depo, they're certainly good enough that I'm in no rush to get my original ones polished up and back in, though I will do eventually.

 

[McGherkin]

Put the bulbs in backwards?

 

[Mr Squashie]

Put the bulbs in backwards?

I'm pretty sure the bit that lights up was pointing forwards

 

[McGherkin]

Polarity dumdum.

Definitely polarity, I did the same on my driver's side headlight, tested before I put the bumper back fortunately on and easily swapped it.

 

[Mr Squashie]

Oh maybe then, I assumed the little W5W ones could be installed either direction 🤔

 

[CrippsCorner]

Was up at 05:15 this morning so thought I'd jump on the jetty and try and get an early morning sun photo. To be honest I could have done with waiting another 15 minutes or so but then I'd be late for work... oh well maybe next time.

I hope you didn't push one pin of the headlights when inserting the connector, i did that once, the sidelight was the only one that didn't work, ended up returning one to autodoc as damaged, and only after i checked the connector and saw that one side was kindly bent, almost screw'd the replacement one too.

Today i did some spacers in my dci for lowering the steering wheel, turned out pretty good i guess;

I hadn't even considered that 🤔 I'll have a look when it's all apart again and double check everything. Fingers crossed the weather stays fine tomorrow

Where abouts did you get them from? Had a quick search but can't find a matching pair.

Got them in Poland when I moved here, no idea if they ship to the UK though.

They're also set up for LHD beam pattern but that can be changed with a lever inside the unit apparently

What does the hash tag mean?

idk thought it was what the kid do

 

[Addz]

Chucked it around Blyton park on Sunday, not breaking any records on old PS3’s but good fun all the same! Loads of Clios there as usual

 

[Mbeau]

Dug it out the garage for mot which it went straight through. Tax tomorrow then I fully intend to use it this year!!

 

[Jamess182]

Finally got around to tidying up my Dad's MR2 Roadster which has been sat on the drive for the last 2 years after he fell ill.

-Fresh engine oil & filter
-New Discs & Pads all around
-All Calipers cleaned and repainted silver.
-Replacement set of OEM wheels, the current ones were corroded beyond repair.
-Deep outside clean. Lots of cobwebs and dust to remove! Inside still yet to do.

Sadly it's rather rusty underneath, hoping it will pass it's MOT but I'm a little concerned some of it is maybe worse than surface rust.

It still drives lovely. Seating position is great, gearbox feels tight and the handling is spot on. No worrying knocking noises or rattles.
If it passes, the plan is to drive it a little this summer, and maybe an evening track session to give it a bit of a send-off, then whack it on eBay for 99p.

 

[dann2707]

I'd be happy to pay £1 to save you the ebay fees etc? You know where I live so if you'd be happy to drop off for that price is be more than up for that

then whack it on eBay for 99p.

Plant some of the rust in your new garden and see if a new one grows next spring?

 

[BigDanny]

I cleaned, clay barred and waxed my roof and bonnet. Actually the first time I ever used wax. Serves me right for parking it under a big arse tree for four days. Going to do the rest of it another day

 

[Martin_172]

I went all 2004 and fitted a smaller plate from fancy plates to my daily smoker 1.2 16v

was going to wash it but i better wait a few days to let the double sided tape stick properly lol

 

[Mr Squashie]

Found out there's a DIY car wash next to the automated one I usually go to that has snowfoam instead of shitty brushes. No idea what any of the buttons meant but I went through them in order and the car looks great, all things considered 👌
Thought I'd take a couple of photos before it's ruined by the tree I parked under 🙄

 

[avstar1]

Mot'd on the weekend, washed today and went for a quick spin and pic just now...

 

[DankART]

Fitted my new TD 1.2LT with Toyo888R's !

I like em. I’ve got some Glossy Black TD Pro Race 1.2s. Might just whack them on the RB now.

 

[Short Norman]

had the air con in two of our cars re-gassed. They both stopped working within a couple of days of each other a few weeks ago.

I'm suspecting there's a leak in both of them, but forgot to mention this to the guy gassing them when he did the first one. On the second one he put in a UV leak detection fluid.

Glad they both take the old cheaper gas.
