Had this for years, detects 60% more electrical current, everytime. Carry it hanging off the top pocket and people treat you like a Messi..

Mine does that, gotta keep nipping up the hex nuts

That's patina, in America the price goes up.. Couple of metal number plates over the worst holes and it's mint.

Any car that needs paint is dead... "been quoted £200 to paint the front end" in a sales advert doesn't fool anyone.. If a 1*2 looks clean, it's still got the belts and road tax r@pe to deal with. Crack on I say, makes the value on mine go up.

Renault sell cars, they keep them serviceable for the least time possible..

Surely there's after market supplied ones that are coded in. I had a dude pop round to make me a new Vw T5 keyfob the other day, so I have 1 genuine original and 2 aftermarket ones added on..

Those are aids and can knock. If the engine mount on the drivers side isn't positioned correctly it can cause a knock.

Does it really matter... Buy it anyway..

You could just be a real man and get a Milwaukee rotary tool.. Bare units range from £60 and that's a small price to pay to be accepted by other alpha males..

https://www.wheels-alive.co.uk/eu-plans-to-restrict-repairs-on-older-vehicles/ Cars have time bombing repairs on them, but us lot find a way to keep them on the road cheaper. Here comes Europe to cut home/diy mechanics hands off... Uneconomical mechanical repairs + age = scrap

Noice... I got a few gtts myself..

I forgot to change the water pump doing the belts once... Finished the job and the water pump was sat there looking lonely. The next 4-5 years I lived in fear.

A mate still slings hoops and said more and more tyres fail early. Planned obsolescence.. Use em or lose em.

Outside, the sun and heat cycles kill them... I used to work at a tyre garage years back, Michelins have always cracked early, but boy do they eat miles.. The clio almost covered 30k on a set.. Loads of tyres crack early, I just pulled some toyos off as they were dead after 4-5 years, loads...

The Michelins on mine have cracked and rotted out long before they were due, probably 6mm left all round. 4-6 years, they die of old age.
