OK, probably was you then. Your half six in the morning comment threw me. I was in the missus' car, so you wouldn't have noticed me going the other way!

Standard Contis. Last place I went to were cheaper but they fitted 91W's instead of the proper 87's.

Was about 7pm or so Sun evening. Don't remember seeing R27 decals, but I may have missed them?

I'm guessing they put the price in for 2 tyres and then multiplied it by 2 again?

Just had 2 new front tyres fitted and when I went to pay the invoice was £387! Needless to say it was queried and subsequently dropped to 230 quid.

Black 197 with anthracite rims going towards Ringwood.

Do mostly short journeys, so the consumption ain't great. Lots of nice driving roads round my way, so the car spends a lot of time bouncing off the limiter, too! 8)

Doesn't have to have been a turbo. Pumabuild's 2.3 conversion can be taken to over 200bhp quite easily and will apparently go to around 300 with a full rebuild on an aftermarket ECU. http://pumabuild.co.uk/feature_6.htm http://pumabuild.co.uk/cons_fiesta.htm

As I only get 200-250 miles to a tank, nigh on 4900 miles would be around 20 fills for me at 50 quid a pop. That's a grand and the reason I don't do 4884 miles a month!

When I test drove a 250 it was up for 25 grand and they never knocked a frickin' penny off the price. That might be why I'm still driving a Clio?!!

I take it you never bought one, as Platinum still have the same 3 cars on the forecourt, plus a white one as well now!

Only thing new about the 200 is the bumpers!

Why another Renault? What makes you think this one will be more reliable?

I've got a Karcher and it works just fine. It's a K6.85 I think. On the subject of pressure, I recall reading that you can't achieve 150-160 bar as claimed by some manufacturers with a single phase motor. You have to go 3 phase or petrol/diesel to get that sort of pressure.

Maybe so, but this inward action can't be starving the engine of air or it would lose significant power at the top end, wouldn't it? I bet the cross sectional area of the hose is hardly affected at all otherwise the manufacturer would've done something about It during development.

You'd need a vacuum for a hose to collapse inwards. An air filter would have to be flowing almost no air for that to happen!

I bet it isn't. Go in any electrical retailer and they'll tell you they get more Samsung gear returned than any other make. Their DVD recorders are supposed to be particularly bad.

F61 is a Megane colour (black)

You shouldn't be plugging in the mains lead with the power on! You've probably spiked some component inside doing that and fubar'd the TV now. Game over, I'd say.

I didn't like it that much when I drove one. Might think about it when they're down to 12 grand!
