    Fletch's 150k 172 Project..

    Yes Mark, I still enjoy driving it after all these years. I really need to sort a trailer and do some more track days. The Clio will live on for a bit longer Dan 😂 Thanks Oli, I may even treat the old Clio to a front end respray this spring!

    Update: December 2023 marked 19 years of ownership. Over to Rentech for the mot, on the way over to Portsmouth the STOP and Battery light started flickering so new alternator time. Then fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, after having a play with an M140i on the A31, the engine...

    Update: Windscreen washers stopped working, turned out to be a broken washer pump. Once I removed the washer bottle I also noticed it had a split around where the pump connects. So off the the breakers for a new washer bottle. As I am no longer running xenons and need the two washer...

    Windscreen washer pump issue. Nowhere sells the correct one??

    I have just had to change my washer pump. You can just about get the 90 degrees pump out, whilst keeping the wipers and linkage in place by bending up the plastic shroud, but you will not get a new one in without removing wipers/ linkage etc. TBH it’s pretty easy to remove the wipers and...

    Mk1 valver? I have wobbled a few times in the past but I cannot ever see me parting ways with the 172 mate.

    Hi Joe, thanks mate. Yes I’ve had the 172 a while now and it’s gone through quite a few changes over the years. I remember your silver 182 at the South Central meets back in the day.

    Update: Nearside rear bearing was howling, so fitted new genuine OEM Renault rear discs/pads. Really trying to get out in the 172 more this year, she ticked over 162k this afternoon.

    Update: Finally got around to sorting out the rear exhaust hanger mount. It’s been bodged for a while now (not even sure who did the ‘fix’) I already had a BNIB Renault mount, but decided to buy a Powerflex exhaust mount insert to replace the Renault insert as they’re prone to sagging as...

    The New Phone Thread

    I would go for at least the 256BG capacity iPhone as you cannot record in 4K pro res with the 128GB iPhone. https://www.macrumors.com/2022/09/10/4k-prores-video-iphone-14-pro-256gb/ My 14 Pro Max 256BG in space grey was delivered last week.

    Small Update: In general the Clio has been running well. The only issue I’ve been having is a weak battery on start up, the Varley 25 in the Clio was fitted back in 2014 so had done well! Old vs new Seat out to get to the battery. I have now moved to East Hampshire, so have some excellent...

    Fletch's BMW M2.

    Well after 3.5 years of ownership the M2 has now gone :( I traded it in for a new M2 competition yesterday. I had an extended test drive in a comp in the summer and was very impressed. It addressed a lot of the OG M2 flaws (mainly the bouncy ride), the only downside is the exhaust note/lack of...

    Fletch's BMW M2.

    Small update: The M2 had it's first MOT in November, it passed with no advisories! Soon after I put the M2 into storage, the main reason I have moved into a new place and currently don't have enough parking, until I build a double garage and extend the driveway. The M2 is in good...
