    We got a dog!

    He'll get about 3-4 times the size that he is currently. They grow longer rather than taller :)

    We got a dog!

    Jemma and I collected our pup last night. Hes a basset hound called cooper (after Sheldon Cooper from The Big Bang Theory as Sheldon was not allowed!) Hes been very peaceful and only woke up 4 times last night. Not bad considering we've not had him 24 hours yet! He's currently sleeping...

    Nissan 350z

    I moved to a 350z.. the dearer road tax is only if you get a newish model e.g. the 2003 is the old tax bracket.. I think it goes to 2005 anything over sometime during 2005 and it becomes the higher tax bracket.. I've a December 2006 GT model (297 bhp model) with leather seats, bluetooth, bose...

    197: Its sold..

    Well I had an interesting call two nights ago from someone that's been lurking on here for a while. He called up and we made a deal. The car should be leaving my possession on Friday or Saturday. I'm sad to see it go but... I know this chap will take care of it.. Also keep an eye open for any...

    Sold my car and it breaks down..

    on the old MK2s the old wiring looms used to rub against the housing of the ECU casing. IIRC it cost me £350-£400 to get fixed as its a days work at Renault :(. That said a bit of tape will fix it if you can find the cause but it wont last very long. Also that assumes it was a MK2 as I've...

    Vettel Overtake on Yellows?!

    I recorded this live.. see here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41ik3neL7NE&list=UUUPcwFHUmRiKSjKWl9bXmdA&index=1&feature=plcp quite clear in my mind that he overtook under yellows even though apparently it was a red and yellow flag not a yellow.. also apparently (but I cant see it) there was...

    Continental Tyre Split

    what engine/gear are you running to get that power? Any extra weight will most likely push the engine bay down which will I would have expected to make the front wheels point in which would cause that? Thats the only thing I can think of if you've never curbed it I'd get the camber checked..

    Fuel pump failure

    You can access it from above the rear seat but I had my tank cleaned as I thought it was dodgy fuel. It must be how the ren techs say it should be done as everyone keeps saying that they need to remove the fuel tank to replace..

    Fuel pump failure

    I had that on my 197 at about 65k-66k miles. £425 is about right if that includes parts. The place I got mine done (under warranty) dropped the rear axel and fuel tank to clean it and replaced the pump at the same time! I found if I parked my car on a decline nose first it would start though!

    clio silverstone no 1

    Its also worth noting that all press car's are over serviced and looked after to perfection! If Renault Sport think there's even slight play or a slightly different note or whine or noise they will trace the problem and fixed it.

    New 200 turbo driven.

    If that's the case its great but Renault usually show the model with all options and features.. I think this engineered digital sound comes in is a feature on all new Clio's right? :/ don't get me wrong.. The car looks well planted in the video when hes on the track.. but the other parts make...

    New 200 turbo driven.

    No Brembo's but they're still 4pot's. Also and no one else has asked this yet.. The noise that we are hearing is that the noise you hear in the cabin when driving it or the actual noise from the engine?? The advert is quite embarrassing if I'm honest with the chavvy driving :(

    New 200 turbo driven.

    Something just does not seem right to me.. Plus the launch control seems.. a little useless? I'll test drive one.. but the 197/200 still looks best to me so far.. Quite disappointed as when I first seen the 197 pictures released years ago I knew I'd love one. This I'm not so sure about sadly :(
