Yeah I have always been a quiet fan of the GP1's too. And they do seem to hold their value quite well for their age. I always find test drives frustrating because it's difficult to get a proper feel for a car on a 15-20 min drive with a white-faced sales rep gripping the door handles for dear...

Cheers mate, much appreciated :) With regards to the wood under the pedal.. no idea what it's all about but read it in a couple of places so will probably do it just incase.

http://www.rybrook.co.uk/mini/used-cars/8160/mini-john-cooper-works/ Those pictures don't do it justice - it's such a gorgeous car in the metal :drool: Pretty quick too! Steering felt solid and precise but the car kept jumping everywhere and tugging at the steering along the country lanes we...

Looks lovely! Bet it's not still that clean though ;)

Cheers mate

Hello all! I’ve just bought myself a Visibleed kit with one way valve (link) & some Motul RBF 600 fluid so will be bleeding my system soon (also got myself some gearbox oil but that’s an easier job). Now, I know there are a few threads on brake bleeding and a couple on clutch but nothing is in...

Parked down the road from me in Trinity Mead

If you have regular halogen headlights in your 200, the dipped & main should be H7, sidelights 501 and indicators 581

I've seen this too, in the Powertrain car park. Saw it broken down on the slip road out of Whitley a few days ago :(

Aha it made my week! If I ever manage to get one for the weekend I'll strap a GoPro to the back and make some earthquakes :)

Just watched this on Facebook.. So lucky! Especially the girl at the end who tries to save herself by turning away and raising her arm!! :scared:

Jade Devolpments isn't thaaat far from me.. but too far to go just for wheel alignment I think. Ah so there is specific data for each type of car? Don't suppose anyone knows what it is meant to be for a FF 200 + cup chassis?

..with work about 40miles across Warwickshire. V8 Supercharged 550PS F-Type R with carbon ceramic brakes :001_tt1: Was genuinely smiling the whole way.. the sound is IMMENSE!

Cheers Paddy. I also like the idea of referring to my cup pack as an extreme pack ha! I don't know much (anything) about wheel alignment but is there some sort of setup guide for each type of car (e.g. for toe in/toe out, camber etc) or is every car set up the same (wheels parallel to each...

Hi guys, A couple of months ago I had my tyres changed and wanted a full wheel alignment done at the same time.. but I was told by my local wheels & tyres garage that they couldn't do the wheel alignment because the car had electric power steering which made it too difficult. I mentioned this...

The point I was trying to make was that, similarly to fitting different compounds of tyre, different widths of tyre behave differently over the same conditions too - and some manufactures fit different widths of tyre to the front and rear axles, meaning the front and rear axles will behave...

The front and rear tyres are put under different loads though, so IMO don't necessarily have to be the same. For example a lot of cars have different width tyres front to rear, which would change the behaviour of the front & rear axles over the same conditions, but the car is dynamically set up...

I've never had my rears lock up like that.. seems very strange. I'm not convinced on the whole 'front & rear tyres should have been the same' argument either. Maybe it was just poor/worn tyres on the rear that caused it (if so, having the same on the front would've just made it worse!). I...

Seems a bit dodgy. Can you not phone up Renault to find out what the car is, by giving them the VIN? That's probably your best bet. Or try a numberplate search online to see what it lists the car as? Either way though I would be suspicious that the owner is not being completely truthful..

I was walking out into the car park.. really had to resist the urge to wave!
