    Slow wipers

    Cheers, yeah seems it gets clogged up easily. Having seen how quick the wipers now are think they been slow for a while and then suddenly got worse and seized. Think I will check the scuttle every 3 or 4 months to check its draining properly, especially in the autumn when the leaves come off...

    Slow wipers

    Looks quite a mission, not sure im capable lol Seems strange after i sprayed all the joints with greese when i cleaned the drainage holes. They were working fine before this and think they were fine straight after doing as well. Just noticed it yesterday when i used the car to get to work.

    Slow wipers

    Was pretty easy to sort the flashing problem out, the guide was useful. Just be careful screwing the column casing back, keep the wire clear from hole the screw goes into. :S Yeah think they position would be all screwed if they were lose as they start and finish in the correct spot. Its the...

    Can't decide which exhaust

    Yeah sounds nice. Just worried it will be loud inside as well? Want to be able to cruise at 60mph on motorway, be able to talk to passengers and not get a headache lol Also read posts about Miltek melting diffusers too. Just makes me lean towards to the scorpion, but just that question mark...

    Can't decide which exhaust

    I know there are loads of threads about exhausts but i cant decide which.... its between Miltek and Scorpion cat back. Both resonated versions. Basically my standard exhaust is starting to make funny noises, think maybe the baffles have gone in the middle silencer, so i need to replace it soon...

    Fitting milltek exhaust 197

    So the 200 exhaust would fit the 197 but the exhaust tips are just shorter allowing trims to be fitted?

    Aftermarket Exhaust advice

    I have youtubed clio exhausts and found some good clips of what they sounds like at high revs but not of what they sound like just cruising around (ideally inside the car). If anyone has one that would be great.

    Aftermarket Exhaust advice

    Is the resonated scorpion quiet at motorway speeds and when you are just crusing? May need a new exhaust soon but dont want it too loud or droney at 60/70mph speeds

    I recieved my pot yesterday, its quite small and doesn't seem more than half full. I went for the black in the end.

    MTEC Disc Coating

    I asked if the coating should last longer than 2 months but they avoided answering that. See what they say to you. Yeah they offered to send me some coating. Just got to decide silver or black. Might go black as it will hide an further rust or dirt.
