What have you done to your car today ???

[Colin-S]

@Louis are these what you used to stick on your number plates onto your old 182?

Were they strong enough to always keep them attached?

I've had these for the past 7 years on both the front and rear plates with no issues at all - I used 3 coins on the license plate

Velcro coins have been fine for me. Normal velcro strips failed instead, front plate nearly fell off the r26 recently when glue went

I've always spent a little more and bought a length of 3M Dual-Lock. Always used it in the events industry and it's one of the best fastening materials I've ever used. Especially for something that'll be taken off a lot (I used it on the Clio number plates). Doesn't wear out over time like Velcro does either.

Looks like quality stuff that.

Fixed the broken connector on my squib, now I have working cruise control again

Also fitted some new spacers, 15mm hubcentric on the front and 5mm slip on ones on the back in addition to the 10mm axle spacers I already had. Doesn't look half bad

Picked mine up after having its MOT and a few bits fitted:

Wishbone bushes
Ball joints
Front top mounts
Front ABS Sensor
New flanges on manifold and Cat
Janspeed cat-back exhaust

All tracked up and the car feels amazing again.

New reg plate added - along with a Clio Mk4 R.S. badge for the left side.

Shout out to @Matt Cup for the DVLA Auction heads-up - cheers!

Time to flip the dogbone mount back the right way. This will probably take two seconds as it's only two bolts...

Oh right, the previous owner fitted the small bushing the wrong way round and put the wrong bushing insert in each end. Better press them out and start again then

Now that's sorted I'll stick a jack under the engine and replace some mounts

New Febi top engine mount (Kangoo version)

New Febi top gearbox mount

Bloody engine now sits about an inch higher on the driver's side, I guess the old mount was absolutely fucked

Also tried my best to sort out the 4th to 5th gear issue. The clamp on the linkage was interfering with the gearbox when shifting quickly. Tried about 10 times to adjust the linkage and in between losing 5th and reverse a few times, eventually ended up replacing the hardware with a different bolt and some washers. It was still hitting the gearbox sometimes so I got annoyed and just yanked on the linkage to try and pull it over towards the driver's side... which immediately fixed the issue

All done in lovely weather, and followed by a couple of cold beers. A perfect day tbh
