Stopped the door from clunking when I open it. There was a loose bolt on the bar that goes between the door and frame.

Got the cruise control and speed limiter working. Spent a while testing the pedal switches, then tried bending the bit of metal inside the main switch. Thanks to a post on here for that nice little fix

I bought it about 2 weeks ago from a chap in Wantage, can meet up 1 evening if you like. The colour looks its best when the sun is out (whenever that is!)

 

[kaz19880]

Today I picked up a new stereo for the Clio a fli swat5 does the job nicely now just wanting some speakers or mdf rings so I can fit 6.5 comps and tweeters in

[tom172cup]

Fitted nitrous bottle heater and plumbed it in ready for some abuse on the weekend

 

[Pete.]

Fitted new Toyo T1Rs and got pulled by 5-0 for late exit off a motorway. received a pleasant chat from the policeman and a drive safely lecture. very reasonable outcome.

 

[Russ_16v]

Good to see there are plenty of nice ones out there pete!

I opened my garage, shuffled past the clio to grab a few bits off the work bench and shut the garage again - so all I've done is fold the mirror in, poor things not been out in two weeks

 

[Jekyll]

Broke my carbon splitter in half (or 4 pieces, but the 3rd is in the road somewhere)

Ouch, my pal done exact the same thing the other day

 

[Pete.]

Dropped it off at my mechanic to have coilies, discs and pads fitted and investigate my temperature gauge not working. Hopefully get it back early next week. It's cost me a fortune this week. So much for a budget build lol.

 

[doni]

I have fitted a new stereo system today and its working good .. now i am going for a long drive ..

​Thats it i have done it only on today and i think its enough...

 

[Spinksy]

Dropped it off at garage for a wheel bearing to be replaced, after replacing the engine found that I can do most things to the f*cking thing but the lack of a press limits my abilities on that front

I done mine on the A13 in my 182, i think i hit a plank of wood

Heres what my pal done the other day mark

 

[Spinksy]

How much they charging you for that?

Way too f*cking much tbh mate!

Cheeky f*ckers gave me the price after doing the work by using the excuse they don't know how much the bearing is.... (Less than £16 from eurocarparts btw)

£76 for parts and labour!! (So paying the garage £60 for the liberty of removing a rear wheel, removing the drum, pressing the old bearing out, pressing the new one in and refitting the drum and wheel) wtf?

My 'usual' garage in doncaster, charges £60 for the front wheel bearing done and laser tracking

ffs just picked it up to be told there is a gearbox leak somewhere which wasn't there before, there is an extra 10-15 miles on the clock and to be told the price I was given didn't have VAT added on!!

so cost me £91.50 to get my car back with a replaced rear wheel bearing, a gearbox oil leak, some extra miles and less petrol than was in it originally!!!

last time I use that garage!!!!!

Grade A C*nts tbqfh

 

[Jekyll]

Why didn't you just go to you're "normal" garage?

A garage that doesn't give you a quote before hand? Seems legit. As Jekyll says, why not use your normal garage
