Yeh foc and lol, I thought just the same as you Gary - funny that hey?? They got a bit funny when we were checking em over too but what do they expect?? Anyway, they're looking good. I'll attach a pic of the wheels now if I can figure how to do it via tapatalk...

I had an accident (thankfully not in the Clio) a year ago, my fault. The guy wanted to go through insurer and I kept saying, I'll pay for the damage cos its my fault and I was worried about hikes in my insurance costs. Anyway we exchanged details, I took lots of photos of the scene, cars etc...

Well I'm pleased to say that I picked up the wheels yesterday and they're all fine - I'll be proud to put them back on the Clio once we've finished refurbing the callipers...

That's what I'm thinking. Their website explains the process, just a shame they haven't followed it!

I wish I had done, but not yet. I'm hoping they'll repair it. If not, and if they refuse to budge then I will and get some opinions from other refurb places.

I decided to get my alloys refurbed as there were a few scuffs, blistering etc and went to pick them up today. However, was very disappointed in the quality of the refurb. They've sorted out most (but not all) of the scuffs, but my main gripe was a number of areas where it looks like dirt/dust...

its only long periods of storage that may cause issues, im talking years here, a few miles weekly makes no difference. I do agree that mileage is not sometimes a good indicator of condition. The type of owner, how the car has been stored and cared for is everthing. I've seen some very very...

some cars are just problematic, right from the off and your just unlucky if you get one, wouldn't matter if they had 5 miles on them or 50k, especially a car like the clio wich has its niggles. My last one which I just sold didn't give me one little glitch and was perfect in its 3.5 yr and 2.5k...

spends 80% of its time in a cairoport, I have some pics, I've not a clue how to upload, I am to computers what Brilcream was to kojak.....

couldn't disagree more, I do believe that some older cars do benefit from a little use here or there. I have a few older cars and sometimes after long periods of storage a small problem will raise its head but in general youl get far less problems than a higher mileage car, which im not knocking...

its a funny thing what people class as low mileage, I have a 20yr old RS that has 20k on it also, but there's still a few floating around with less.

it is alot, but because its about the average its considered not.

Yep its the crappy washer jets, pop them out, clean the area under them and dob a TINY amount of silicone around the hole and pop em back in.

2007 197 with 16k and a 2010 200 with 2.5k

my god how much!, throw it in the bin. Hate the bloody things, i can't believe the money people waste on phones, worse than $ky tv.

Bottom line is, it shouldn't do it. Take it back and kick up a stink. I've no doubt they'll try and wriggle out of repairing it, but stranger things have happened. There have been issues with this in the cold i believe, so if its playing up in this weather im guessing it will get worse when its...

The fiesta should have been an RS, they made a mistake in many peoples eyes including mine, just another watered down ford unfortunately. Dont get me wrong I think its nice, but it should have been really nice, not entirely keen on the design though looks a little tall and squashed.

Silverstone classic is the only place to be if you like cars, motorsport. The racing, open pits, the noise, being able to get so close, you can't beat it. If you like looking at supercars you'd have seen anything and everything there, Wilton house supercar day is a good day on 4th august though.

Silverstone classic this weekend, huge motor festival, looking very forward to it.

Personally id steer clear of outdoor car covers, you'll probably find it will introduce more problems than you currently have. Get some decent cleaning products, get it clean and keep on top of it is my advice. I've tried blowing leaves out of engine bays with air lines, its hit and miss tbh...
