    Right...bear with me and I'll go get the tape measure out. That'll raise some eyebrows from the wife! Haha.

    Bolternatives - Engine bolts

    Got ya...didn't realise that you were also such a keen bike enthusiast. I'm glad that I never got into them or I suspect that I would not be sat posting this today. It's the printed design that you're really paying for as much as anything I should imagine but that's a nice touch in my eyes.

    Bolternatives - Engine bolts

    Is there any way that I can tell without having one to compare it against? Can I measure it or anything? (Don't laugh...I'm genuinely clueless about these sorts of things!! :rofl:)

    Bolternatives - Engine bolts

    Just saw question number 2 but this is verging on engineering and I can't even hang a curtain rail. From a quick Google search, I understand the countersink part (but only after studying Google results) and unfortunately I don't have anything to compare the bolt with to know if it would be an M6...

    Bolternatives - Engine bolts

    Basically these x10: The bolts are a perfect fit to replace the rather coarse threaded original screws. I had doubts when I originally removed one but my fears were swiftly allayed. You can request a security key for them but a T20 head will tighten them. I think a T25 is required to...

    Bolternatives - Engine bolts

    Here's some more pics so you can see them a little better. Also got shamed into cleaning up the engine bay with a quick dicht. And for reference, 8 bolts and washers will do all your engine bay and the four in the bonnet. However, be aware that the OEM washers on the bonnet are painted...

    Shuv, added and pending admin approval. Kevin will add you pretty swiftly though and I'll give him a prod. :)

    :rofl: I did the underside of the bonnet too but forgot to take pics of them. He also does them in red, black, purple, yellow/gold, neochrome and green. £12 for a set of 10 and the bolts. I'll try to hook up a link but search for "Bolternatives" on Facebook and join the group/page. I've used him...

    Having had my fingers (and bank account) burnt buying a Peugeot RCZ from new, I'd personally never buy a new car again unless there was a ridiculous offer available. I sold the car on within 32 months of ownership and effectively lost £10k. That new car feeling is a fantastic one but it's not a...

    Thanks everyone...I should clarify that the part about the Canadian girl should read, "the potential event" NOT fight! Thank you for that predictive text! :rofl:

    Bolternatives - Engine bolts

    Sorry guys, there's been pretty much radio silence on my part recently due to a ridiculous workload the past fortnight and then a somewhat excessive celebration of the start of 6 weeks holiday. Seriously, at what age did the 2 day hangovers kick in?!?! Anyway, a really small update for you; I...

    THE picture / take a drive thread. Lets have some fun !

    I don't want to overload this with submissions but was in Tesco and noticed this as I was about to leave...I HAD to go back. Guess that I'm probably the child that the signage refers to. :) Next up, a picture of your car with a plane in the shot. It can be overhead, beside it, a toy...

    Goodbye Squee (197) hello...

    I too miss the feeling of boost a little bit if in honest. I think that I actually looked over the one that you ended up buying on Autotrader but you've done very well to get those things thrown in as part of your deal. I'd be really interested to know how you find the Megane because I do think...

    Goodbye Squee (197) hello...

    Sorry to hear about your issues with the Clio but that's a lovely replacement. I've always loved this current generation of RS Meganes and that's also the colour that I'd have plumped for. I did actually look at these before getting my Clio but couldn't find one quickly enough.
