Yeh, i thought it was a bit low, but especially in cylinder 2, trouble is now is trying to get rid of the car and get the finance written off, or get avaiable car to repair it. trouble is they aren't being helpful at all because its out of bloody warranty since April. all this because i asked...

So I've had my Clio 200 less than a year, and its never sounded overly smooth. Had this invedtisgted last week for a service and Mick at diamond motors put it down to a fault pressure control valve. That's been replaced but there is still a loud blowing from the oil filler when engine is...

See, the way I look at is, is that a track day is a place for enthusiasts to go and enjoy their cars in a way they cant in the public arena, so surely if everybody stops and thinks like that, and treat the other drivers on track with the view of, "what would be the most courteous thing to do...

Where to even begin with that?! Its that sort of driver that is making me wary of going on my first track day! Also whats the point in going on a track day and staying automatic mode? really where is the skill there, and I know the GTR is all about its fancy computers and stuff, but actually put...

by having the system pressurised it allows the water to boil at a higher temperature. not sure precisely how it works, but its used in F1 cars, their coolant doesnt boil till about 14 degrees

Wish i could take one for a test drive, but somehow cant see jaguar handing me (a 23 year old) the keys to an F-type :(

Any pictures of your car? I originally was considering red, but found a nimbus silver, like yourself I wasn't sold on the colour, but its grown on me, love the colour now!

I'd rather have the coupe body tbh! I think the hard top just has a little more road presence to it. especially in white!

I love the F-types! The jag dealer near me has one of the V8's in the same red, and I can honestly say cameras don't do the car or the colour justice, its such a fantastic colour! These are one of my must have cars in the future!

What was the cost of you don't mind me asking forget wrap?

From my rather basic understanding it's a kind of polymer/rubber paint. Can spray it on and then it peels off of you change your mind! supposedly doesn't damage your paint either. You can buy spray cans of colours, and then there cans of different finishes. Such as glossifier, metalizer, and...

Would it not be possible as a half way house between painting or wrapping the roof, paint it with plastidip? I've no experience with it, but i've been toying with the idea of using plastidip to do my roof black on my nimbus!

I found the non-res scorpion a bit much in terms of keeping the partner happy! Just be warned that it's quite loud if your carrying passengers/kids! To add a bit of science, scorpion reckon the non res system is 91.6db, compared to 84db of the stock system!

sounds like I'll take it as a keep an eye on it job then. Would there be anyway a garage could check this without taking out the gearbox/clutch?

can the release bearing make the noise intermittently on start up? As mine makes a noise similar to this however it is not on every cold start up. It has been suggested its the release bearing, is this something that I should get sorted as soon as possible?

can the rivet be replaced as mine has broken, so at the minute is secured with wire, I just haven't know what the part number or name would be? I know its slightly off topic but I've been searching but cant find anything to suggest where I could get a replacement from

I found that the clip that secures the header tank in the front of the engine bay has snapped. So is conpeltely loose. Didn't notice any damage when securing with wire so I think everything should be with just a bit of looseness!

That is a fanatstic looking clio! Love the yellow accents on the black, been meaning to get my brakes painted/powder coated, but yours are just brilliant!

I'd hate to think of the cost of a set of tyres after a few track days in that clio!!

Well hopefully won't have the problem again as I've got the pins from Mr pink. So they shouldn't sieze in. Plus I'll take them out and copper slip them every six months or so!
