    Mystery wire?

    I noticed this wire had dropped down into the passenger footwell yesterday. I haven't got a clue what it is. I've only had the car 17 years lol. It's wired into a white plug as in the pics and has a plunger type switch on the end. It doesn't do anything when I press the plunger in, so God knows...

    182, strange noise, clutch?

    I noticed today, when the car was stationary with the engine running, everytime I press the clutch there's a strange noise you can hear coming through the air vent.

    Finally got my 182 back 😁

    After 3 months. No fault of the body shop it was Renault saying they can still get hold of the offside wheel arch liner. This is after an insurance claim at the end of March when a little old Lady decided she'd drive round the roundabout the wrong way and hit me head on. It was a very low...

    Headlight restoration - Duxback

    I'd seen this kit some time ago and thought I'd leave it until the weather is better. It literally takes a couple of minutes and job done. I was a bit dubious if it would work. The first pic is the before pic, then a pic of what the tissue picks up then the last pic is the result. It's a 2 step...
