    Many meets?

    Alright chaps, I've got myself a clio 172 cup and wouldn't mind attending 1 or 2 meets. It's been a few years and would be nice to meet up with some members. Is there much going on?

    Anyone used the Master Blaster car dryer?

    Been looking into getting this bad boy, would make things much easier when drying freshly cleaned cars and whilst polishing so you dont get annoying water residue on your bad and flicking it all over the car. Also think it would make life easier when trying to hoover the car down by the sides...

    Anyone fancy a road trip to the Evo Triangle?

    This is something I've wanted to do for ages, it's a long way away from us but I've been assured its well worth the drive accross. I think it will be a case of setting off around 7.00 am and getting back to the NE around 6-7pm. There'll be the usual food/fuel stops and I'm sure plenty of...

    Dial Glass (Plastic) Cleaned

    Did the dial plastic a while ago, thought some might want to have a little look at my 50/50 I got. Use'd some fast cut plus and finished with some menzerna pf4500 (I think thats the one) Whilst I had the cover off I gave the dial's themselves a quick wipe over and re-installed them...

    Immobiliser Issue

    A friend of mine has just bought a 172 cup, it appears to have had a new key at some point and wont let the car start. It fits the barrell properly and turns all the way round as it should, however when you do this, the immobiliser light flashes very quickly and doesnt let the car crank over...

    New Temp Sensor fitted....now other problems

    To start with I was having problems with my cold start limiter sticking on. So I've replaced the temperature sensor. Now my temp sensor goes to 1/4 way up when the car has been driven for ages. It rises up to 1/2 way when the car has been sat stationary for 10 mins however as soon as you move...

    Washing issue

    I'm currently using a meguires microfibre mitt to wash my car. I'm finding that I'm getting light swirl/stroke marks along the panels which is very frustrating after spending 20 hours giving the paint a refresh with the rotary. Could this be down to the mitt itself or is my wash technique...

    Ok, so my car is on a mission to kill me...I'll explain. For the last few months my car has been getting very smelly, as in overfueling. I'm very concerned as the smell is coming into the cabin of the car, it has started to give me headaches etc. The car has been running in cold start mode...

    Trophy #077 gets some love.....with BG content too

    Well I'm pleased to say my mate Josh has bought Sam@Btm's old trophy under my recomendation. Its an absolutely fantastic car with a great spec, sadly I dont think Sam was too into the 'detailing' game and 'claud the trophy' was looking a little worse for wear. However, I did promise Josh I'd...

    Coolant sensor problems causing issues

    Hope someone can clarify this for me. When my cars engine speed increases, my temperature gauge drops, the car runs with the cold start limiter on for quite a long period of time and absolutely stinks of fuel. Could it be that my car is thinking its running cooler than it actually is and the...

    Black Gold 182 after some machine polishing & Wax

    Last weekend I locked myself in the garage and got to work with the clio's paintwork, which was quite frankly shocking, I'll have some more detailed pictures in my project thread later this evening of the process. Anyhow, as I was away for the week my brother used the car, before he did though...

    182 stinks of fuel when stationary or when pressing on

    Bit of a strange one this, 182 is absolutely stinking of fuel everytime I'm stationary or whenever I give it some stick, it smells inside the car and people following me around 500 yds away can smell it to, smells like its overfueling really badly and somehow finding its way into the cabin. The...

    Replacement Trophy boot struts *New Option*

    Since buying my trophy spoiler I've been without the propper boot struts. After taking some measurements I did a search around the net and found that the Bonnet struts from a jaguar XF will fit. Off to the local scrapyard saw me bag a pair for £10. I do believe they make the boot sit...
