A little something to help you :-)

They are not as good as the 197 but not bad either. Haven't tried on track. My point was the M3 brakes were epic compared to everything else I had driven up to that point. It was the steering that was too light.

I have driven an E46 M3, one that was in good condition, and a standard 197 would get slaughtered in the straights. The brakes are also every bit as good as the Clio's (I owned a CTR at the time and the M3 could easily out brake that). Personally I found the steering far too light and it didn't...

Any recommendations for which battery to buy?

You're forgetting their complete lack of ability to drive. Gutted for you :-(

Thanks guys, looks like the battery. Soon as I drove off, the ESP light turned off. Not had any indication that the battery was on the way out. Will keep an eye on it.

Car wouldn't start. Would hardly turn over so seemed like battery was dead (it's not, green light still glowing faintly on battery). Couple of goes and car starts but have warning saying asr/esp disabled. Turn the car off and on a few times but always same message. Taking the wife's car...

Warren, the dealer was correct, you need to own a VXR to be eligible. This year for some strange reason, the Performance School was still available and as I have owned Vauxhall hot hatches in the past and was very polite :-) I was allowed to sign up. My favourite pic of my day.

My neighbour has just been hit on a roundabout by an Albanian, driving a car with Albanian licence plates. She has an independent witness and a police report as she called the police because the other driver couldn't speak much English. She has the car licence plate and a photograph of his...

Saw a Megane 250, 2 x R26 Meganes and a 182 Trophy in the car park at Thruxton. Did the one hour experience yesterday and the Performance School today :thumbsup: Performance School is 3.5 hrs in a Corsa VXR race car with tuition. One of the best experiences of my life. Awesome instructor and...

Do you think its the sun that's doing the damage? I had a new wheel put on just before I picked up my car as it was still under warranty. I've had the car almost 4 years now and done 19k miles and it is as good as new. Saying that I am a bit OCD and cover the wheel with a white t-shirt whenever...

I had the system emptied and refilled. Could only get about 80% of the amount of gas Renault recommend so there may be a blockage somewhere. My condenser looks like its been in a war zone but air con is working. Just not cold enough but colder than air con off. i hear a dry rasping sound when...

Do you think the gas has leaked out? Is there any way to test?

I had the air con re-gassed recently but it is still only slightly colder than when it's off. What is the next thing I should check? Thanks

So finally bought replacement door handles from Karl (thanks mate :-). I'm sure there was a how to remove the inside of the door on this site but can't seem to find it and the search tool doesn't seem to want to search for me. If anyone can put a link here I would appreciate it. Thanks

Thanks Rogue Will have a look over the weekend.

The side light on the passenger side has blown!!!!! On the drivers side it looks fairly accecable but on the passenger side I can't even get my fingers in. Without reading all the threads (I'm on my phone) can I remove some of the battery casing to get to the back of the passenger headlight or...

Got to strongly disagree here. First of all check the maximum number of years worth of NCB your company will issue. Most insurers cap at 5 years so the fact that you have 7 years doesn't matter. Each claim will knock 2 years off your NCB. I had 10 years NCB, then made a claim and my NCB...

Used a couple of tanks now and the engine does sound a little big more sporty but that might just be a placebo effect. It certainly seems happier than on 95ron fuel

I had a Saris Bones on my old car (VW Bora) and they are the best of its type out there but I would give you one word of advice. The bottom of the rack sits on the bumper and if you have a lot of weight on the rack, the pressure on the bumper can crack the paint.
