Hopefully they unscrewed it then rather than just snapping it off. Guess I'll be making a trip to Renault before my first service then... To top it off I bought takeaway to cheer me up, only for them to get my order wrong :? You just can't trust anyone these days!

Came back to the car earlier, flicked the radio on only to be greeted by some poor reception so I stuck the CD back on and thought nothing of it. When I got out of the car I noticed that there was only the base of the aerial mounted on the roof! I can't believe some pikey git could be arsed...

You are kidding me right?? Most yank cars are designed to waft you long distances smoothly - they don't know anything else. Their interiors have levels of plactickiness (TM-fazedesign) that put most French cars to shame (and that's saying something!)

Sorry to hear it mate. You're looking at a ban for this for sure, but hopefully you can keep it down to couple of weeks. As has been mentioned, get a letter from your new boss saying you require a license for work. Maybe its also worth speaking to your previous boss to see if they will...

Someone just sent me this: great if you are bored and have too much time on your hands....(like me then!) BattleWang - Online Cockfighting! Create your cock, fight, bet and generally try and become the biggest, baddest cock in the land Fights are every hour, on the hour. Get betting, get...

Just adding to what I said earlier - I would not modify the suspension on my car unless I could put on some subtantially better components, the calibre on Ohlins or similar. In fact, I i'm not going to think about modifying my car at all, unless I start suddenly earning a whole heap more than...

Spax are also at the lower end of the suspension market. I would be interesting to see how "equal" the springs are comapred to the Eibachs. It can be quite surprising how much spring stiffness can vary for a given spec - some manufacturers have a much more relaxed tolernaces than others....

Spot on KS (never thought i'd say that, lol!) Changing springs in isolation is not the way to go forward with performance suspension.

I've never dared buy one due to the dubious legality of the devices - but I hadn't considered what a near perfect install you can get on a Clio!! Excellent stuff! Still got every other license protection device hanging off my dashboard though....

I thought the advert was crap :? Awesome car though..... Now the Honda adverts.... they are the best car adverts seen for a long long time.

I'll be there Thursday - I wish they wouldn't keep putting the price up though... £20+ for tickets then an extra £7 to park your car is a bit steep if you ask me.

Only once so far :oops: My excuse is I'm too busy driving it, and i'm sticking to it!

I think it should be easy enough to identify a swiss trophy though..... :D

Git! Where'd you get one of them? - I'm sure I don't have one fitted to my car....

Glad to see you've finally see the light KS :D You on the lookout for a Trophy now then, although I must admit I have a soft spot for the Williams - they're just so quaint! :wink: - Good luck to those on the lookout for a Trophy, I'll post links to any I spot for sale on this thread.

Sorry, forgot :oops:

All car makers pay for journos to jet off around the world to product launches and get wined and dined etc - why should Renault be any different? As an aside - have you noticed how when some cars are reviewed at launch they get great write-ups but then when they get back to these shores the...

Glad you're finally getting the car - hope it's worth the wait! (Guess we won't be seeing you on here for a few days because you'll be too busy driving!)

Certainly looks the part - give me a shout if you need any help with content (not sure what I could provide though!)

Excellent new look for the frontpage Nik - like it a lot! :D

Cheers Paul... you owe me a new keyboard now as mine is covered in cornflakes! :lol:

Use Rain X or something similar (Think mine is called Mer Rain Away or something...) Haven't needed to use my wipers over 40mph since i applied it to the windscreen - Excellent stuff. Might go and check me nuts in a bit though (fnar fnar) :D

Really sorry to hear it mate. Not sure how hard the hit was but I would imagine the following *could* have been affected... Bumper, Bootlid, Exhausts, Rear Wings, Boot Floor, Lights and then onto things like Suspension, Wheels etc if it was a harder impact. Glad to hear you are ok...

Had been driving a 205gti for best part of 4 years and loved it. Went for a test drive in a 182 late last year and loved it but my work situation meant I couldn't justify the purchase. The head gasket finally of the 205 finally complained at 600 miles/week commuting so I picked up a Honda Accord...

They are still of benefit on track - both touring cars and gt cars I have worked on have used remote reserviors primarily to allow a stiffer damper and to increase the thermal mass (giving better resistance to fade) - Indeed one of the cars still showed an unwelcome amount of damper fade during...

KS - A remote reservior damper WILL provide a stiffer strut installation and WILL give a performance increase for the suspension, its just one of the reasons why they are used in motorsport. I think the benefits to the average road car driver will be minimal but it will definitely yield an...

I'm pretty sure there is - it's some of the numbers/letters on the side (not the 205/55R15 designation though - that's just size and speed rating) Can't remember which refers to characteristics of the tyre - i'll post if I remember

Aaah, so its not just me that thinks the intermittant wipers are way to fast! Might have to track down that controller....

It's useful to differentiate between the two stiffnesses (oi, no sniggering at the back... :lol: ) that are being considered here - The first being the spring/damper rate combo ie. what most people are describing when they talk about stiffer suspension. Secondly there is the stiffness of the...
