-13 here, coldest place in the UK Had ice on the inside of the windscreen! :(

Cheap coil overs are a waste of time.

Nice buy, these are dirt cheap now.

Epic...... get shot of the stickers though and touch the inter cooler up with some black permo pen job done.

The Focus RS is a great car IMO, just a shame some seem to be suffering from cracked piston rings. OP have you drove your mates Clio? Maybe worth swapping cars for a few hours.

Re: CLIO IV RS for 2013, Last news Doesn't look very special in those pics....

Luckily i managed to get one of those cans. The quality and price for a double OCC with filter is top notch, Well worth it mate.

Glad you've got it sorted mate. I've just purchased a double oil catch can (one for each breather) which should help prevent this, also a friend who works on them says the cars that are driven properly seem to carbon up less then cars that are used for short trips to the shops ect. Coking is a...

Brick?

I pity the fool......... I'll get my coat.

I was messing mate, I know of the original owner from various MINI forums and he appeared to take care of it. I'm not sure if you've looked into the HPFP issue but basically there's a part in the pump which over time can/sometimes develop a hairline crack. This in turn leads to the pump no...

Nowt wrong with ours, sounds like you've bought a lemon. Hope it gets sorted.

Hero colour and choice of seats! Yummy.

£4.5k ROFL.......

I like the smooth front but i don't get the whole "remove the front number plate" thing?

Race who?

:cry:

The coking issue isn't something you have done on a regular basis bud, depending on how the car is driven some people don't suffer from the issue. Short trips ect makes things worse. Also an oil catch can will prevent this. It does sound like your HPFP maybe on it's way out again covered by...

Doesn't the VXR have 256bhp standard? Either way got to love the god squad on here.....

Got to love the old Bum dyno, the car feels quicker so it must be ok.

The JCW he played with is the 197bhp version.

TBH in a straight line there was nothing in it between our old 172 and the Mrs R56 MCS but then the Clio is made from used Tuna tins and weighs a lot less. The R56 JCW in your pictures is a MCS with the works kit so should be about 197bhp. The R56 unlike the R53 make their factory figures with...

Epic car mate, needs an OEM Ford tape player though.

No need for the jack, just turn the steering wheel to full lock and do one side at a time.

When picking up our previous Cooper S we had a little play on the way home on the dual carriage way, there was nothing in it. Bare in mind the 06-08 plate MCS had 170ish BHP where as the newer 08+ have 190ish OEM.

This^ £18 Puncture repair (dependant on location) Vs £160 new tyre.

Looking good mate, hope you're enjoying Mini ownership? We've had two R56's and although they both had the timing chain and water pump replaced under warranty neither had any of the issues posted above. Neither drunk any oil either and both were light years ahead of the Clio in terms of build...

Get the fcuk in! Love it mate.
