    Gearbox woes, what did you do with yours?

    I've read quite a lot on the gearbox problem with many people having warranty work done. Does anyone have proven root cause or had box failure as a result of the symptom?

    boot/cargo net?

    Best thing ever to hold everything together in the boot. I had the same problem of it being too big. Fortunately the hooks we detachable so managed to pull further to the centre to make it taut.

    Fed up of clio, both headlights blown for 2nd time :/

    Bulbs have been a big issue with mine, you might say it's a false economy but I now just buy cheap ones off eBay as they cost very little, last the same amount of time and it's a doddle to change.

    Any employment law people on here??

    It depends how long she has worked there. If she was employed after April 2012 they can terminate employment for any reason apart from discrimination for up to two years. She is entitled to notice period pay but may not necessarily be asked to work it.

    Just a reminder when doing anything with a jack...

    Horrible moment, but great that you had the balls to post it. Like a few people have mentioned axle stands are a ball ache but so important. Glad to hear you've got away with it buddy.

    Button under the Gas Peddle????

    I'm assuming you're all on about the 200? I once sat in one in the show room and asked the salesman, he replied saying it was to do with the turbo..... He didn't try to sell after that conversation!

    Colour codes wing mirror

    My 197 is littered with black plastic and need to do something about it! I'm wanting gloss black mirrors, what are my options? Obviously paint my originals but there's a lot of prep involved, is it possible to get some off a black clio that are colour coded?

    Great shout, pancakes first though, the missus won't see the logic if I break it using it to remove trim from my car.

    How easy was it to get the clock surround off? Looks an absolute dog of a job!

    Eagle F1 A2 v Contisport

    I got f1's just because I wanted to try some different compounds. It's that time again and I'm struggling to justify getting anything else, grip and longevity are really impressive. They also look better too!
