Got sick of buying Karcher/Nilfisk because they keep breaking. So picked up one of these today and so far first impressions it is excellent, really well thought out design and plenty of power...

Yeah admittedly you do get a lot of mongs when it comes to selling Clio parts. Amount of people that seem shocked at 20yr old parts having rust on them makes me chuckle sometimes.

If it’s just a ticking sound then that’s fairly typical of the d4f in my experience, I had one from brand new and they’re a bit of a tappy engine at the best of times.

Anyone used parts from Febi Bilstein stuff before, need a thermostat for the 1.2 and its either that or starline from ecp.

Yeah I noticed a lot of hidden rust on the ones I cut up recently outside of the usual places.

I’ve broken a fair few now and you can easily make a decent profit even if you sell stuff cheap. Latest one I paid £400 for the car and made 3-4k off the parts.

Looks like they’ve used the wrong bolt for that tensioner, should’ve at least added a washer to it.

Sawzall made short work of the Clio shell like cutting through butter.

That’s pretty cool

Yeah we’ve got all new Ford stuff recently and it’s pretty crazy how much it records, travel length of the pedals, gear changes etc.

It’s been like that for a while on all our work vehicles, you get flagged up on a board in hr if you drive the vehicles too fast etc.

Knife fwends.

If it is close to £22k then it’s very compelling but somehow I can see it being into the 30k region.

You’ve taken power tools to a level even I won’t go.

Going to be £40k+ tho

“It will use a similar motor to the one found in the Renault Zoe. That car has 134hp, which would be plenty in a city car like the Renault 5.” “but the 0-62mph time of the more powerful Zoe is now under 10 seconds”

Start from £30k is the current prediction seems expensive for what it is.

It maxed out at Ps2/Gameboy. I used AetherSX2 for PS2, Dolphin for GameCube and Arduboy for gameboy games. Nowadays I’ve done the similar to you and just switched to using my iPhone/ipad I dip in and out of playing every few months so having a console seems overkill. Quite a few good games on...

Oh yeah I was recommending the emulator not the device to be clear.

I had a retroid pocket 3 running the AetherSX2 emulator for PS2. It’s a little bit hit and miss which games run well, Simpsons hit and run I couldn’t get to run well despite the graphics being fairly simple.

Acid Yellow Clio V6 on the a483 by Wrexham, bit of a surprise given the weather this morning.

It’d get removed pretty quick if you’re using dish soap and chucking bleach in there?

Yeah the ag snow foam is trash, I just use there polar wash for both seem to do a better job and foams up quite well. Or if it’s a full decon then good old fairy liquid is pretty unbeatable. Pressure washer decided to pack in today so I had to apply polar seal with a spray bottle, pissed me...

But if I do that how can I justify buying new tools??

So I’ve got a Clio shell I want rid of but scrap yards all want £100 to come pick it up, so new plan is to cut it up and chuck it in the van. Anyone got a decent recip saw they’d recommend, I would use a grinder but I figure if I can use a recip then the garage won’t get covered in so much dust.

I only have experience as a client but this 100%. There is one decent guy on our IT support team if he’s not around I’ll just wait until he gets back. The rest are completely useless “comic book guy” types, constantly f**k stuff up and if you put any pressure on them at all, they go off sick.

Yeah to look at it you couldn’t see the leak at all it was so small I found it by accident wiping the dirt off with some kitchen roll.
