    Thanks for the advice :). I just don't want either of them to feel I am messing them about. They both replied at the exact same time :P

    Greg's Albi Blue Clio 200

    Oh god, now I need to decide! Had the car originally planned to go to Mick at Diamond Motors which is a 2 and a half hour drive but after a week of waiting I've heard back from Dan at SJM Automotive (who is arguably the best Renault Tech in the SouthWest) in Glastonbury (20 minute drive!). Who...

    I can't really get a good picture of my stash as the main cabinet is tucked away behind my old alloys... I did create a list a while ago of what I actually have product wise, I'll have to dig it out. Top shelf are my waxes, sealants, tape, brushes etc Middle shelf contains the bulk of my...

    Thanks. I checked the ball joint and everything is tight. It's been into the garage and has been diagnosed as a worn inner tie rod, so not too bad really :tongueout: Thanks :smile: I try to note down everything I find that I couldn't find online easily. I want anyone that has one of these...

    You don't necessarily need a smaller pad. I just use the default 5" pad on the DA and then use an old 5" pad cut into sections with Meguiars Ultimate Compound by hand.

    So has anyone got any ideas re the above? Some pictures from my 5:30am drive this morning... Up Burrington Coombe, across the Mendips and down Cheddar Gorge. DSC_0188 by Gregory Berry, on Flickr DSC_0178 by Gregory Berry, on Flickr DSC_0176 by Gregory Berry, on Flickr

    So, the list goes on to get ready for the Clio Festival. I have to: Find the knocking on the passenger side, apparently it could be the steering rack (on a 200?), inner tie rod, or suspension (even though I replaced it 2 weeks ago) Refurb the wheels Fit the manifold Cambelt/Water Pump/etc (as...

    It's silver/grey. I think it's the light. My finger has been itching the buy button on the Laguna gear knob on eBay.

    Shoddy piece of French turd!!! Apparently, the steering rack is knackered which is causing the knocking on one side of the suspension??? It was KwikFit, so I will take it with a pinch of salt though. If it is the rack, I might as well get it replaced when the subframe comes off for the...

    Are we going to do what we SAID

    Children's Hospice South West (or national version) would be good. As none of you know, I work for a medical centre and we have a couple of patients who regularly attend for a weekend as they have cancer. They have a few places where these children and their families go for respite stay and it...

    Bog standard snow foam lance (I think it was from Mainz Car Care but they are out of business and it is a looong story about what happened to them) and the snow foam is Krystal Kleen Detail Blizzard. About 100ml of snow foam to 900ml of water. The dial is turned all the way to - and then...

    A single picture sums up my weekend :tearsofjoy: Does anyone think it would be worth going to a garage to get them to buzz up every nut on the suspension on the passenger side? The knock is still there but not half as bad...

    Agreed with using Flickr. I've been using it for the last few years. Much better web design, a nicer photostream compared to PB.

    Awesome. On Sunday I am going to retighten every bolt I can see and put locktite on any that could work loose. The T30 and 18/16mm socket combo seems to be popular with these Renaults.
