Go pro's are great, small robust and give brilliant picture quality. So much so the BBC use them for action shots on board extreme sports etc. For track days most say no suction mounts fixed mount only. Having said that I went to a track day at Donnington the other day and they were happy with...

Neither. The only way to gage if a car is cool or chavy is to consider what Keira Knightly would say when presented with it or if you were to collect on your way to a posh dinner do. And to the 197/200 she'd probably say oh that's a smart looking Clio at which point you'd have to start...

Thanks very much I'll check it out.

Any one els had issues with door pillar seals falling apart. I've looked into it and the seals don't cost much but apparently the rear quarter window has to come out to fit the new seal resulting in a big labour cost.

I'm in the same situation but in my R27 with recaros. When I asked they said no and quoted me £400 to repair. I even asked them nicely.

Get a multi meter and test the voltage across the battery. If its good it should show 12.3v or higher. If its not showing this the battery may just need a good slow charge or trickle charge would be best, use a battery conditioner rather than a standard quick charge unit, if you have one...

Cheers buddy I'll give him a call for some prices. I've got Renault customer service involved at the mo to see if they can pay towards the bill. They said they would let me know tomorrow. If they say they can't help me I would love to drop a meg engine in but what's the total cost and would...

Right I need some parts for the repair at a better price than the garage have quoted. Can any one tell me please if the Karl commonly referred to for parts is the Karl from SMC? If so I'll drop home a line with my wish list n see what prices he can offer :biggrin:

Yes please if you know any one willing to do it and with a transporter.

If you could please, would be much appreciated.

Unfortunately I didn't have an option to avoid the flood. Came off a duel carriage way slip road to find a huge flood. Couldn't really go back as entering a duel carriage way the wrong way along the off ramp would have been dangerous to say the least. I had only one option, forward. I entered...

Any one tried this set up? The con rods and pistons I've not heard of before but the package seems to be a good price. http://www.engine-dynamics.com/SpecialOffers/pid100350/cid283/ForgedPistonForgedConRodandCatcamPackage.asp

So I may have driven through a bit of a flood this weekend. Got through it OK carried on with out any problems but then this morning out of the blue on my daily commute the engine died. Cars been towed to my local dealer. First report showed low comp on three of the cylinders. Possible bent...
