    My new car

    Sorry no pic as of yet. After selling the Trophy to buy a diesel, I no longer need to travel to the moon and back every week to get to work. So the DIEsel was sold and made way for our ....... Honda S2000. It's such an awesome car to drive and it just loves to rev. It's Nurburg Blue...

    Do Renault recruit their mechanics at the zoo?

    Took 196 in to have the water leak fixed under warranty last week. Three days later got the car back - leak fixed ok. However she's come back with more wrong than when she went in!! They've scratched the the plastic strip inside the passenger door sill - which they are denying!! There's now...

    Thoughtless

    Due to some kind hearted, delightful young guys, I am now in need of a new wing mirror cover which they shattered for a laugh, along with a number of other cars in my road this evening. :cry: Does anyone know if they come pre coloured or if I will have to purchase one and get it sprayed...

    Broken wiper - any tips?

    Drivers side wiper has given up the ghost so I need a new one - a mate of mine mentioned something about "Aero" wipers that feature on Lupo's, meant to be much better than the standard ones but he was not sure if they will fit a Clio. Any one know what he is on about or can recommend a...

    Ahhh Sanity

    Brodit phone / PDA brackets

    I'm awaiting delivery of a new smartphone / PDA (HTC P3600) which has built-in GPS and am looking for a mounting solution. I don't want a suction mount as they seem to be a magnet for opportunist thieves. :roll: Has anyone tried the Brodit ProClip in their Clio (or in another car)? Looks...

    Broken into!!!

    Got to the station this evening to find No. 99 with it's driver's door window smashed and my head unit gone! Police came and photographed it, dusted for prints and took samples of the foot print on the seat. Luckily there's no body work damage and they didn't open the glove box to the see the...

    Retrofitting 182 Digital Climate Control

    Just a thought but i was wondering if it was possible to replace the manual set up in the Trophy with the digital climate control from the full fat 182? I'm thinking its not going to be as simple as swapping the panels and hooking up the wiring - but you never know. I have no knowledge of...

    My trophy needs new pads and discs all round, I'm thinking of upgrading to some that feel more solid and that don't squirm under heavy braking as with the standard ones....... I don't really know much about these things, anyone got any recommendations? Also, how does upgrading affect the...

    Big hair dryer??

    Ok, this may sound a bit random or stupid. But how does everyone dry their cars after a wash and what products do they use to do it. I have my car permagarded and want something to get her nice a dry after a rinse. I have never been a big fan of the shammy leather but maybe its cos i bought...

    My new Focus RS

    Just got the replacement for the Trophy yesterday. 20k miles on the clock and paid £14,750 from a trader completely factory standard. I feel guilty for saying it but it's better than the Trophy in every aspect in my opinion: The clutch pedal is harder, the brake pedal is harder and has...

    2nd Coat of Permagard is on

    I had my 2nd coat of Permagard applied last week. I also treated the car to everything else on the Permagard list for good measure: full interior clean and protection, glass treatment and last but not least, engine treatment. Keep in mind my car now has 25,000 (motorway) miles on it...

    Alloy Wheel Cleaning

    Decided to try and give my wheels a thorough(ish) clean today. They have brake dust in the corners where the spokes join the rim and the odd stain from what I can only assume is wet brake dust coming from inside the wheel. Anyway, the car was permaguarded before I bought it - do they do the...

    A sad and unplanned goodbye to 328.........

    Not a thread where I'm about to announce i'm selling 328..... I was involved in a crash 5 weeks ago which saw the car written off. In avoiding a car my side of the road on a country lane I managed to destroy a fence, avoid a house and end up resting on a railway sleeper in someone elses front...
