    Think I’m going to move the Cup on

    I defo think the 182 non trophy market is at a turning point where the majority are cheap and unfrotunately have now got in the hands of those who cant really afford them. So the quality will start to shine thru but with a prices quite rightly to match. I think enthusiats will realise there is...

    I also would like to point out that I flagged a colour mismatch on my set. So everyone bought with the proven chance of this happening.

    Brand New Sachs. (Group Buy)

    6 weeks ago anyone on here would have paid that for a brand new set even if they were painted purple and orange. yeah its frustrating when 12 others wont so I think you lottery idea is a sound one. I also think TIm (claude) should be removed form the lottery due to agreeing to help Ben deal...

    New headlights

    147 currently has xenons.. which are misted. Also technically an mot fail with no washers. but I would be impressed if they ever flagged it.

    Car not starting :)

    Not had any experience on a cold car that wouldnt start. hot usually points at the cranks sensor. Saw somw threads on cs about the wiring loom breaking. TBH if £100 of relays turns out to be a DIY fix. Thats pretty cheap for a clio.

If you...
