Its a mini stone guard made from Kaylan. It’s the same stuff that used to be used as WRC mudflaps. It’s doenst degrade like PVC. It’s extremely durable. I’ve used them on lots of my cars.
They only stick out circa 20mm and flush with the lowest part of the sill. But should stop a lot of road...
Yeah E.D. did say that chances are it was Alex that did my belts previously when he was working there.
I can see this "cheap" Clio being a right little money pit becasue im so fussy. Its nowhere near as mint as it was when i sold it and arguably i should probably have bought a Trophy. But i have...
LMAO, i'll tell him you said that :D
First time ownership i used to get the belts done at Engine Dynamics, however upon calling them now, they say they no longer do any servicing or workshop work.
They reccomendded me to Alex as he appears to be my local guy other than Mark Fish. Mark has a...
Haha, well i cant promise updates every day. I am finding odds and sods all the time though.
Ive just booked it in for a big refresh with Alex at AW Motorworks, hes going to be doing a full belt servive with dephaser, water pump and coolant etc. While its in i think i'll get hime to put a new...
This mornings jobs were to try and eliminate the boot/parcel shelf rattle. (Of which so far so good)
The tailgate rubbers were shot, one was missing and the other was hard as nails. These are still available from Renault and at a cost of less than £5 for a pair, the new soft rubbers mean the...
All sorts of little odd jobs I’ve found but too much to list.
Tracked the exhaust rubber for the BTM system down to that for a Honda. So ordered one of those.
Silly things like removing the windscreen seals and cleaning behind them.
Soaking the seatbelts with APC and jetwashing them silver...
I'll try and find out for you. If indeed they do have it, i'll let you know.
I picked up 2 new tailgate bump stops today for less than a £5 from the main dealer :D
I went into a dealers today to get new emblems for the rear of mine and was told the badge is £38 and available to order from France and would be with the local dealer within a week.
Well,
It’s still here and I’ve found all sorts of little jobs to do, even though I haven’t even signed the paperwork on it yet.
Fixed-welded exhaust, ordered new exhaust hanger for the BTM.
Fixed all the heatshields, made new extra large sections to act as repair washers.
Fixed Alpine...
Guys,
Thank you so much for such clear and honest feedback. It’s great to get some responses clearly written by knowledgable adults.
Well I’ve had a strange thing happen this weekend. Basically I sold my old 182 to a friends brother 4 years ago, he still owns it and has continued to look after...
I love the ST 180 and even more so the new ST200 but I have to say I really don’t want a turbocharged Motor. I want to stay NA ideally. If I were to go forced induction I’d prefer a supercharger for the throttle response. However the only car that fits that bill is the Mini R53 and I’ve been...
Thanks chap,
The Trophy market seems to be all over the place right now with people asking stupid money for even crap standard 182s.
What sort of money should I be looking to spend on a decent one and would you say I can happily do 50 miles a day in one?
Thanks,
I've actually had the Cayman R for 2.5 years, the same as the Fiesta. The Mini GP was my daily when ended up buying the R, but then needed another car for every day. Thats how I ended up buying the ST.
My R is quite a rare spec, in that its a 6 speed manual, with carbon buckets, spyder...
Thank you sir, its not an easy car to sell as most folk looking at one of these are young and looking at examples for £1500/£2k.
Its just too nice to let go for pennies and i need to raise as much as possible to buy a Trophy.
Fair comments,
Its just the standard car will never be a Trophy. As we all know, special cars are more than the sum of their parts.
I still know the chap i sold my 182 to, he still owns it and ive even considered buying it back. There is always that worry of revisiting an old girlfriend, and...
Morning all,
I dare say this topic has probably been done to death, however i cant help but want to ask for some feedback if you can.
Im an ex Clio 182 FF owner, bought my last one with just 8k miles on the clock and enjoyed 4.5 years/84k miles of ownership. I sold it for what i thought was an...
