For those with a CS user account, here's a link to a thread in which JMS trialled fitting a 197 wheel. If you read through to the end, you'll see that they chose not to offer it as a service due to various technicalities of proving airbag safety..

I remember one person actually sprayed the tiny black inserts themselves, because they thought it would look better..

Definitely should organise a MTb meet - good plan! Although I had to give my borrowed sus forks back recently so I only have half a bike! Anyone ever service rockshox duke air forks?! Equally does anyone know of some cheap fox forks up or sale?! :D back on topic, let me know postage cost and...

Hey Tim, yes I most certainly would still like a pair please. Any ideas on likely postage cost? Mind you, I could wait until the next meet.. Depending upon how long that is?! Don't like the idea of leaving you out of pocket! Just looking at Goodwood breakfast mornings.. June 6th | Super Car...

good choices Nik - well done chaps! :) =D>

Thanks rich- interesting to hear that your mileage is roughly the same as mine; not especially high.. I'm no mechanic either.. I'll have to ask someone that is, as to the likely causes of failure. Ultimately, to everyone else, you could replace it (even if it didn't need it) because it's...

FYI, by no means definitive, but Rentech advised Water pump is not a necessity in this thread

:P As per my text - I do some of the work on my car by myself! 8)

Hmmm, it appears not to be a 'cut and dry' matter. What would the resultant signs be if the water pump were to fail? - overheating? I guess it's ultimately a question to pose to the garage for an opinion, come service time. Richjones - what sort of mileage had your T covered at the time you...

I must have missed some discussions somewhere, but can someone please tell me why many people are suggesting it's necessary to change the water pump please? - is this official Renault guidelines or something that has been found to be generally faulty around this age...?

Cheers for photos - I'll take the mats please - been after a set for ages..!

hi, do you have any photos of the mats please? :)

Could be due to many being on the market at the moment and some people's keenness to sell quickly, thus reducing the price they're willing to accept, which has a knock on effect upon everyone else trying to sell..?

you have email tim... :D

Very very nice- I saw an rs with black wheels just days ago and felt that it set it off really well. Matches nicley with the spoiler and other black sections..

Ace colour choice- black contrasted with red looks purposeful. Enjoy your new purchase and keep us updated with your views as you spend more time driving it :D

That too ;) - Sorry Ben - should have wished you a happy bday in an earlier post! :D

J's either becoming very sentimental in his old age or just rather more bored than usual.. :wink:

Must be an interesting fiesta to necessitate 4 pots?

always good to see old faces reappearing from time to time. Is the mini going? - What's it been like to own? I have made a semi pact with the GF that if we ever have to go down to one car, we'll sell them T and her cooper and get a cooper S (pref JCW GP).. (Sorry to change the topic..!!) :oops:

Good grief... Do they take us for mugs or what???!!!! I must find a mo to speak with my neighbour; he works for a custom zorst outfit called pipecraft.

Much like the Trophy.. They're built with a purpose and they do what they were designed to do very well.... Tenuous link perhaps..! :lol:

Freedom of expression.. :lol:

It's a panel van style so the back seat was a retro fit jobbie. Pretty comfy but not awesome and terrible for viewing the road ahead; or rather not!! Just thankful that this one is far from standard - running a full expedition setup, including suitably tweaked engine.. Still cruised at 65-70...

ermm... Well we had loads of gear, plus 3 people.. The T would have required the rear seats down for a snowboard, let alone all of the other kit we had.. (Not prepared to use a rack..). It was freaking cold in the back too.. But it was just about worth it for the fun that we had with it in the...

haha, Stromba, the second coming..!

Indeed; when we drove down to Austria last Feb in a Landy Defender, I couldn't believe how aggressively we were treated - I'm always very careful to pull out when there's a significant gap but they would come barrelling up behind from miles away and then on our bumper.. Very annoying! At least...

Just watching the way that guy was weaving in and out of traffic at speed scared me.. People like that need their head checked...!!!

that really is ludicrous...!?!

Welcome along, it's always good to have new visitors! Indeed you're right, we suffer precisely the same issues with claimed and actual power figures.. Also extracting a reasonable increase in power is a highly expensive process for our engines.. Significant gains can realistically only be...
