Due to a change in financial circumstances :( I'm taking the rather hard decision to suspend my insurance policy (a huge cost for me being 20) and lay #110 up until maybe spring or early summer next year. That way I'll be saved from renewing my insurance again in June as I can potentially...
I thought that I might change the engine coolant soon, any ideas which is a god one? And how much do you need? I take it it's just a case of removing the bottom hose? Any advice would be great!
Need to vent!
A couple of days ago I drove to the gym and parked in the quiet car park (only 3-4 other cars in it) as I'm paranoid about door-dingers. I come back out to see a still almost empty car park apart from some genius who decided to park their beaten up sh!tty Honda Accord within...
so recently Mr Clarksons words have started to ring true.

So i thought i'd finally sign up here, some of you may remember this car:
was the one there was a thread on here advising people not to buy it.
However i did work for A/C at the and decided to take the risk to get it brought into my garage to have a good look at it and decide whether i wanted...
Hi guys,
Just wanted to get an idea of which would be best for the T. Have had a good look on detailing world but would appreciate some of your advice. Dont want to spend a fortune on wax or sealant and a clay bar but would be interested to see what products people are using and what they...
Hi Guys, I'm sure it's probably on here all ready but does anyone know what length the wiper blades are suppose to be on the T? I don't think the ones I've got on mine are the right length at the moment and, well at least I know that one of them isn't right!
hi everyone,
just after some help/advice really with regards to cleaning.
after the t was purchased it was taken to a professional valeter as I could not clean the car because it had traindust(?) all over. When it came back the results were good.
it has since had quite an extensive clean and...
hi folks i went into my local halfords for some oil today and on there recommendation book it said 10/40, so i bought myself some fresh oil(magnatec) and proceeded to do the oil change, anway i came on here only to find out in the mainenance guide that 5/40 is recommended which has me curious to...
Saw you parked in Bright Hill car park. In fact I parked almost next to you with mine. Only the 3rd one I've seen in two and a half years. Nice exhaust you've got which one is it?
Alright folks, I intend on replacing the coolant in the next month and just asking the best way to do it. On my old fiesta i just made a big mess by pulling off the hose at the bottom of the rad, and refilled slowly on flat ground. Without a haynes for this car i don't know if there are any...
after spending £100 last year on better gear, moving to meguirs, i've now discovered the internet's detailing world and spent another £100 on more clobber that you can't buy in Halfords! Bad on my finances but the T will benefit tremendously!

hi number 093 here.
i replaced my standard cd player for a JVC one from halfords. with a couple of leads to link up the stalk controls to the radio.
Halfords man took my dash apart but found that the plugs from the stalk control bit (just behind the clock) were not compatable with the stereo...
Does anyone have a cure for the incredibly annoying vibrations these things give out when listening to music? I was thinking of going into Halfords and seeing if they had any of that spongy stuff, would that work or is something as simple as velcro good enough?
Rcently bought the Them Cooked...
I was never a fan of the 4 different type faces that were on the outside of the Trophy, ie Renault, Sport and Clio on the tailgate, and then Trophy on the side skirts.

So, heres the crack - I sell every autoglym product, but at the moment, ive got the products below - If someone wants something else...
All,
Sadly the time has come for me to move on from the Trophy. It's an unfortunate casualty in a series of events and one I wish I could save, however having this and the Vee is out of the question and it'll sorely be missed:
It's had:
36,000 miles - and just had BOTH belts done -...
I am planning on changing my rear discs and pads and am phoning round to get prices.
Not really after anything uprated as I know there is little benefit and I like the fact the rear wheels are easier to clean.
Are the original rear pads made by Bendix or some other manutfatuer?
Anyone have a...
So much less messy than my fiesta! Sump plug is dead vertical so the oil comes out dead straight, not a drop going on the drive. Silkolene Pro S 5w-40 thanks to opie oils plus a new filter which was the messiest bit, awkward to get to but at least it doesn't flow down your arm! Just made the...

Hi all
I've had a quick search on here but am looking for the definitive answer on this as I killed my Ferodo DS2500's last Friday at Bedford.
I'm thinking of Pagid's or Carbon Lorraine's but am unsure as to what there like on the road?
My current setup is Brembo Max discs, Goodridge braided...
