    Wanting to create something. A light for the variable cam activation.

    Use a normally closed contact to switch the light on below 17k and above 6750 then?

    Coming back to Renault

    The not as well build(sic) bit. They're both the same - terrible.

    Coming back to Renault

    WTF? R26 is terrible on fuel compared to to 1*2, but then you are probably going faster. Trouble is, when you go the same speed they still drink 25% more fuel. Problems? A lot more than a Clio, and a lot more to fix. They are better cars, but that depends on your definition of better.

    How to shatter a locking wheel nut?

    I snapped my wheel nut key a few keys ago. Ads gave me the number to call Ren retail and they supplied a new one in around 5 days. It was £20.50 delivered if that helps.

    BG182 - A59 Westbound.

    Possibly Leeshez I've seen him on there a couple of times.

    Assassins Creed Xbox

    I'm just trying to finish ACIII now, as I never did when new. I'd echo the comments re play from the beginning. I didn't and I didn't have a clue what the hell it was all about. Very confusing.

    Advice and criticism please? Clio and landscape pictures

    OP, as mentioned, think about the background to your shots. Try different angels (high, low etc.) to 'force' the required background. If this is not possible, shoot wide open (lowest f stop) you can to make the background as blurred as possible. This will be harder on a none SLR due to the small...

    My Clio makes me smile

    Guys, never mind the bad points! A girls smile is being discussed here :p On my ph1, when you pulled away sharply the rear washer nipple used to leak a bit. That made me smile.

    The New Phone Thread

    Another vote for the HTC Mini 2 here. I had a Nokia Lumia 800 that was great to be honest, but the HTC is better.

    New Car

    Misses did this but with a Clio Dci. Chopped in her old 1.6 Magane, which needed money spending on it (4 tyres, dephaser & belt, service) PCP is £214 but we're seeing about £100 a month saving in fuel, so just over £100 to run round in a brand new car with 4 years warranty. It's more reliable...

    RS MONITOR

    I've seen the LY megane, and also a silver 172 with a CS sticker. I put up a spotted thread but no joy. I think somebody on here works at Africa alive also.

    Another LY R26 Owner

    OP, the car looks great especially with the R spoiler in black. Most seem to go body colour. I have the k-tech carbon fibre copy and wonder if it wouldn't look better in gloss black to match the mirrors and wheels. The soot on the bumper is ever present on mine, being GW. It's the first thing...

    Birchdown trip 24/7/14

    I'll keep an eye out for you - I'm in Whalley. What colour is your 172? Birchdown lads won't let you down. I've been using them for years on my Clio and Megane, and the wifes old Megane. Never had anything but excellent service.

    Which tablet?

    I'm not sure if the one linked has a (micro)SD card slot, but the hudl from Tesco has and as long as the card is formatted in FAT32, it will work with at least 64GB cards. I have one and use it almost exclusively for doing as the OP intends. It's not the best on the market but will do what you...

    RS MONITOR

    Car looks great mate - I'll keep an eye out for this when I'm next down your way (in-laws in Kessingland) I don't get what your point is though, with all the pictures? If you don't use it, that's ok isn't it? I'm glad my R26 doesn't have it really coz I would probably bin it whilst looking at...

    /// M3

    That looks mint fella, really nice, especially with the new lights. Interior looks well too - not usually a fan of BMW interiors.

    Like new!..

    My thought was exactly along these lines. In some pics it looks like the background has been deliberately blurred in Photoshop or something. The sensor really wasn't up to the range here. The car looks great though.

    Melted Exhaust trim! Failing exhaust hanger the cause?

    I think the mount in your 2nd picture has completely failed, and this has made the exhaust drop in this section, resulting in it pivoting upwards at the tailpipe, thus melting your trim. Your bodge may work, or may melt. Can you tie it up with any wire for now?

    Matched inlets or a remap?

    If you're going forced induction at some point, then surely messing about now is just a waste of money, and will mean that the saving you need to do will take that much longer? You want to make it faster on the cheap? Strip the interior to lose weight.

    Lotus Exige S - Stormchaser

    Images are great, except for the number plate, that really detracts IMHO. To all the nay-sayers, photogs have been 'cheating' for years, dodging and burning in the dark room - it's not just a digital thing.

    Cool video of aux belt tensioner during a drag run

    This the reason for 'soft' limiters then I guess? Nice vid btw.

    So they re-did the belt again for free and you've just had to pay for the dephaser?

    New to renault, but won over by ph1 172 flamer, progress pics.

    Car looks great, glad you're enjoying it. TBH though, I prefer the original side strips and bullets, and the wheels are a millions times worse than the F1's.

    Vee and trophy

    I'll bite. Prefer the Trophy to be honest. Seriously. More usable and cheaper. Seriously ask yourselves if you could only just afford the price of a V, would you actually get one? I couldn't when looking at ph1's last year. Too old and not that great for the money I think. If I had mega bucks...
