    ILikeClios

    Hi there, some of you older members might remember me. I see some old members are still around.... I'm currently driving an old E46 318 whilst saving for a house, but I'm seriously sick of it and for some reason really want a rattly French hatchback again. I know I could look on Autotrader...

    MK1 fuel gauge, rev counter, temp not working

    As title, was driving home on the motorway and suddenly all the above gauges stopped working. Rev counter is fine, and the above gauges all light up still. Fuse? Relay? I have no idea. Thanks Chaps.

    Minecraft Xbox 360

    For all you Minecraft fans, you may have noticed it's out for Xbox 360 now. It is 1600 MS points but it is definitely worth it if there are a few of you together. 1000 x 1000 block limit, which seems small but actually is about the size as a craftable map, which is pretty big. One person has...

    Yellow 'mustard' or 'mayonaise' around filler cap

    I know this can be the sign of head gasket failure, but the car I went to see today had a slight hint of this around the filler cap. The guy is selling the car as he doesn't use it and it has been standing for quite a while, so does that have something to do with it? Is it just condensation in...

    Lack of power

    Not sure if this is the right section as it isn't a Clio. My mate at work has a Volvo V50 2.0d sport remapped to just over 200bhp. He said the clutch slips slightly, but it isn't a problem as he just drives around it, and doesn't drive it hard anyway. On the weekend he noticed that it has...

    Putting on non-runflats can fail an MOT?

    At my local tyre place earlier, they were saying that there is a chance that the year after next, if you put non-runflats on a car that is supposed to have runflats on (like my Mini) it will fail its MOT. I know them in there and they don't tend to make s**t up. Anyone heard about this possibly...

    Changing pads, brake lines and fluid, process

    Hai, (Cooper S, not a Clio) Going to be doing this this afternoon, just trying to get the process correct in my head. Is the following correct? I only have two axel stands, so will have to do one axel at a time. I have a brake bleeding kit, and I know there is a special tool for the rear...

    Battlefield 3 public Beta

    Thought I would start a new thread instead of posting in the other one, because if you are like me I don't check that thread regularly. In case you didn't know, there will be a Battlefield 3 public beta, available on all platforms, from the 29th of September until the 10th October...

    Replacing brake pads and lines

    So, I have got front and rear pads to fit, and stainless steel brake hoses. Garage quoted me £155 to fit, which seemed a bit steep. Is it hard to do yourself? I have got a trolley jack and two axle stands, and have done a little bit of maintenance work on my cars in the past, what are the...

    Tyre size question

    I currently have 205/45 R17 runflats (which are s**t) on the Mini. Parada Spec 2's in 205/45 R17 are £140 Parada Spec 2's in 205/40 R17 £71.30 Firstly, what the actual f**k? Second, will it honestly have a noticable effect/difference if I change from 45 to 40?

    EBC Black pads

    Anyone any experience with these? Are they any good? I am upgrading the front pads to Yellowstuff pads, replacing the fluid with DOT 5.1 and fitting braided lines. Whilst I am at it I thought I may as well replace the rear pads as well, as they are getting a bit low. Greenstuff pads are about...

    Removing stripes

    I guess this is the best place for this thread. I am tempted to remove the stripes from my Mini. What are the chances that the paint has faded and underneath the stripes will look a bit odd? They are only on the bonnet, and the paint is gray so doesn't really show defects. Will it be okay?

    Hard Drive Space

    I am on my mums laptop helping her archive some photo's etc, her Hard Drive is nearly full, C drive is about 60 GB but the D Drive has 400 GB. Is this normal? Can I use some of the space from Drive D and put it on C Drive? Seems a bit odd to me. Thanks
