Well, after helping to PC (well Meg220) my bosses car yesterday, my own ride was feeling sorry for itself.
No need to paint corrective treatment on the ZS as it was in pretty good condition. It was just snow foam, wash (Megs Gold Class), dry, polish (Autoglym SRP) and wax (Megs Gold).
Took 6...
My bosses Honda S2000 was looking a little worse for wear. 8 years old, 90000 miles and had been cleaned with a sponge most of its life.
The swirl marks annoyed him so he got a Meg G220 polisher and we decided this weekend to get it sorted.
Washed it first, dried and then practiced on a door I...
I'm looking at getting a 350z soon but watching some vids of ITB clios made me think, if you had 11k, what mods could you do.
Now the 11k needs to include the purchase of the car as well so I guess you are looking at having 6k for mods?
What could you have done?
I guess £1200 on...
First one I have ever seen for sale. TBH, I don't go looking for them though.

Well as per the title.
Went to see a 182 today which is a very good price.
The clocks say 30k but the original engine failed at 18k so it had a new one put in which has now done 12k. It went well and the car is tidy (needs a hoover though) so I no issues with that, its just the engine thing...
Well, we are moving house (as soon as it sells, if ever) so need to cars.
I have choosen either a Seat Ibiza Cupra or Leon Cupra (maybe the DIEsel version!) and then a cheaper car for my wife.
I have looked around at what others are for sale but there doesn't seem many at the moment.
The car...
I think this has been covered a couple of times but need a little more info.
I am trying to run a fairly thick wire from the battery to the boot but I am having problems.
I managed to do this on my 182 using the main electrics route near the passenger footwell but on the R27, it seems to be a...
I quite like the Blackberry phones (8700 maybe) but just want to use it with a vodaphone PAYG sim. I don't want to use it for email, just as a normal phone.
Can you do this?
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to change to the default font size for emails with AOL.
My father in law uses AOL but he is 150 miles away so I can't pop over and look. He says it is a bit to small for him to ready easily.
Thank you in advance
Anybody know of any companies around Cambridgeshire that can do a remap for my car?
Also, what sort of price are we looking at?
I would have gone to RSTuning but it is a 270 mile round trip.

Well, traded in the 182 for a R27. Ordered back in September and collected it this morning at 11am.
Went for racing blue with climate, auto lights/wipers and folding mirrors. Also got the exhaust trims as we had seen some pictures and really liked them.
Bought from Smiths Renault in...
Hi all,
Have ordered a racing blue R27 with climate, auto lights/wipers and electric mirrors but have not gone for xenons.
Are there any decent bulbs that can recreate that beautiful bluish glow from the xenons?
I know you can get HID kits but was after a slightly cheaper option (sub £50)...
Due to ordering a R27, I have my filter for sale.
All the details are on the listing.

Hi all,
I have been looking at a 197 F1.
I have 2 choices:
1 - Fully spec'd yellow (climate, xenons, elec mirrors and auto lights/wipers)
2 - Near standard spec racing blue (with electric mirrors)
I like both colours and without going into figures (promised not to), I can get a very...
Hi all.
I needed to top up the brake fluid on my 182 as the STOP and brake lights were flashing when going around bends.
I went to Halfords and bought a little pot of dot 5.1. Went home and put a bit in and then when replacing the cap, it said use only 3 or 4 dot fluid.
Have I made a bit...
Hi all Milltek exhaust owners
Going to be getting the cat back of this soon and had 1 question.
In the past I have bought exhausts for other cars and the last 2 times I have been disappointed with the noise they make - quiet.
If I get this and I am driving around (probably with windows...
I have been given a brand new Hanns 19inch LCD screen with built in speakers. It has a VGA and DVI and I think its this one:

As I use a laptop it isn't much use on its own.
Is it possible to connect this to a Sky...
Hi all.
Noticed tonight that I was getting a ticking noise from the car.
You cannot really hear it from inside the car and it isn't that loud from under the bonnet. You can hear it the most from underneath the car or from outside with the bonnet closed.
I have read up on that charcoal thingy...
Hi all.
A couple of times over the last month, my STOP light has flashed briefly along with the brake light (@) - the same one that comes on with the handbrake. Its has only come on for about 1 - 2 seconds and then gone off.
It happened yesterday while accelerating gently away on a slip road...
Hi all.
Was looking under the bonnet tonight and noticed that the drivers side front suspension mount was rusty on the top. The other side isn't. Is this a problem?
Also, If I rock the engine, the drivers side engine mount clicks as it goes back and forth. Is it fubar?
On a lighter...
I like to see car dealers really make the most of the car features
I mean, OMG, it has aircon. Forget the engine, at least I can be cold.
Obviously don't have any V6 stickers.
I think they have a DB9 tucked away with ELECTRIC WINDOWS on it as well.
Just phoned the dealers to ask about the 2.0 16v door badges.
He said they had some that were chrome at £40 and some plastic ones at £13.
Even though I gave him the car details (182 - 05 plate) he wasn't sure which ones I need.
Does anyone have the part number for the standard silver...
Spotted a blue vee coming towards me at about 5.30ish today.
Think he saw me, I was in the blue 182 with no side badges (being sprayed).
Not sure on the reg plate though.
