    The New Phone Thread

    Its literally changed to 'preparing to ship' this afternoon, not sure when I would typically get it from this point!

    If I didnt have to drive an hour to get to a store, I would probably do that!

    Its still showing that its not available anywhere to collect on the Apple site, but expecting it this week. Bit of a joke really!

    MK2 PH1 1.2 8v Clio Grande - Tidy up project

    Love it, are they Speedline Chronos? I had a set on my 172 many moons ago. Had the wheels up until last year on my MR2 Mk3, sold them to a guy with a Civic Saloon. Hadnt seen any sets that werent Peugeot/Ford fitment.

    I nearly went for the black 256gb, but holding out for my Natural Titanium one from Apple, ETA 2 weeks, hopefully its quicker!

    The New Phone Thread

    Can recommend Mozillion, my Missus' last 2 phones (XS Max, 13 Pro) from there, first had 9 months warranty left with Apple and was basically brand new, the second was a year old but, again, looked like new.

    Ah thats a shame. Any recommendations? Im tempted to just go caseless this time round but thats probably not the best idea.

    The New Phone Thread

    Occasionally the last gen models are discounted by Very, if you use BNPL, you get a code, but you can pay it off in full whenever really. I bought my 8s and 11 this way, but its usually around christmas time. Ive just ordered a 256gb Natural Titanium 15 Pro through Apple, not coming for 4...

    Home network storage?

    Im having this dilemma but doesn't seem to be any easy way to backup Ios camera roll and the like to anything but Icloud. Going to be stuck paying subscriptions for eternity!

    Yeah that's it, the Soundcore ones

    Recommend me some Headphones

    I used to Anker wireless ones before my airpods, they were pretty good.

    Ph1 revival

    I dunno, my 02 plate 172 was like that from inside, you need to take the skirts off ideally by drilling out the rivets, I bet they will be packed with mud and shite! Mine needed cutting and welding. Check around the filler cap as well, same deal there with crud getting stuck on the filler neck...

    Arch rust

    Also if theres rust on the arches then 99% of them will have rust on the sills behind the skirts, or around the filler cap area!

    PH1 172 refresh

    Nice. Has it got any rot setting in? Spots are around the filler cap, sills under the skirts (riveted on so hold muck and water), the box sections above the rear beam.

    My 15 Year-long Mini Rebuild Project (LOTS of pictures, go and get a cuppa!)

    Is that Woodlane Garage in Horsley? I bought my first car from Dave there, a Mk1 Punto!

    Home cctv and phone apps? recommendations please!

    How do you all work out positioning? I know its a stupid question but its something that very easily escalates to 'cameras f**king everywhere' which I dont really want! An example is the side of my house, do I want a camera overlooking the access to the side, or do I want it halfway down to...

    The Apple Watch Thread

    Toying between one of these and a nice automatic watch for the wife. I think she would get more use out of an Apple Watch though. Is the Series 7 worth the premium over the SE?

    Rust Proofing

    Surprised the sideskirts havent been mentioned. Majority are still rivetted on, drill the rivets out and inspect the rear portion, and around the jacking points. Mine appeared ok on the inside but was going outside and perforated in some areas.

    NC500ish Trip

    Thread aside, do you have an itinery or anything for this? Exactly what I want to do in the MR2 this year (@dann2707 @Panda. @Coops Mk1 @jameswrx ????) Pictures are great btw. I reckon the E92 is probably the best all rounder there?

    What's your favourite car related YouTube channel?

    Looks like the videos are still there, just private. Maybe hes sorting all the playlists out or something. Other than DDC2 (Mr2 Mk3 ftw), I tend to watch Furious Driving quite a bit, just a quirky bloke fixing old cars up to keep them on the road, no frills. Road and Race is quite decent as...

    Clio 172/182 hidden rust traps

    Yes, if you pull the loom off its usually hidden by that!

    Clio 172/182 hidden rust traps

    Where the rear inner arches meet the outer panel, if the underseals been punctured by a stone, water can creep under between the seam, visible from the inside of the car once rear side carpet in the boot is removed.

    Punto GT

    Wow, love these, I had a Mk1 55SX in the same colour as my first car! They used to be all over the place and as somebody said above, seem to have disappeared off the face of the earth these days! Scrappage scheme got a load I bet. @dann2707 I can remember you getting slated on Fiat Forum back...

    Garage security

    Good lighting, maybe some wireless CCTV (I have Ring Spotlight cams) are good deterrants. I personally wouldnt have a window, I would rather beef the door up. Is it a timber door? You can put rack bolts top and bottom to add a little extra security, and metal plates as you have done to stop a...

    Screwfix discount? Or Milwaukee discount

    I wouldnt get mega hung up on brushless/none brushless. It isnt a difficult or expensive job (most of the time!) to swap the brushes over. Ive had brushed drills that have had some right hammer and have been fine. If the price is right I wouldnt worry.

    Power Tool Perverts

    Majority of my power tools are Makita LXT. Keep an eye out on Amazon Prime for batteries coming up cheap, got a few 3.0ah for £17 each. Ive got the biggest ugga dugga they do with some 5ah batteries, which is more than enough for most jobs. Ive got Milwaukee ratchet and stubby impact, purely...

    Quickjack lift

    Im trying to convince the wife that a garage rebuild is necessary for our current extension :LOL: I saw these being demonstrated at Autosport a couple of years ago. They seem nice bits of kit.
