    LY Project Cup

    Beautiful car, and nice M3 too, pretty sure I did a track day at Bedford before in my Swift Sport and you was there in the M3. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Engine oil

    When was the last change? Honestly for the price and effort I'd do a full one if you're comfortable giving it a go. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Desparate search for discs and pads for Clio mk3 rs

    I imagine you've already thought of it, but if the deadline is tight, maybe try and get one of the UK based people (George @ RTR is great!!!) to ship them to the place where you are staying.

    Engine oil

    The price is still good with a genuine filter! It's just a shame @renaultpartsdirect don't sell it anymore due to the courier issues :(

    tcw's Clio 197

    @VanHalsing I used the a Mercedes colour - I'll dig out the proper name later, but it's very very very close to the Ford Rado Grey. Some goodies arrived today! Track rods and ends. Discs, pads and pins. Discs, pads and pins.

    Yep did them myself - actually much better than I expected, I will definitely be doing them myself again in the future. I hope all is well for the MOT - can't see anything huge to worry about.

    tcw's Clio 197

    Time for an update. Not that much has happened over the winter, a clean every now and again, and lots of fuel. I did however give the wheels a refurb, there was some pretty bad kerbing present on one of the wheels, with a small amount on the others, this has been there since I bought the car so...

    Rattly exhaust

    If you're under the car give both the cats a knock, the first one (closest to engine) is a part of the manifold, and I recently learned it's reasonably common for them to break up (mine has, time to get it removed/flexis sorted). It may make a rattling noise if it's become detached.

    17x8 Cup Speedline Offset?

    I can't find this anywhere - I am looking at picking up a set of Braid and was wondering what the 17x8 Speedline offset is? Thanks Tobie.

    The light issue returns, not quite the same as before though... cornering lights remain working, and they adjust up/down when toggling full beam. Front bumper off again tomorrow by the sounds of it.

    Is the part number the same as above? Be good if you could post a picture of it, and the part number. Tempted to order one from RPD once confirmed!

    The Grand Tour

    I did wonder if the reason the celebrity doesn't make it to the tent is for legal reasons, I agree it would be better left out, but it does seem they are going out of their way to make digs at the BBC. Disclaimer: this is purely speculation.

    Proline brake hoses

    I got mine on Friday. They were sent via recorded delivery, so he should be able to track them.

    tcw's Clio 197

    A difficult subject to talk about, I guess some of it is preference, and some of it is very subjective. In this case I changed some old fluid to new fluid which was probably most of the difference I was noticing, though I'm finding it a lot easier (in the few miles I did on the road) to brake...

    Dipstick snapped

    Be good to hear if there's a stainless replacement available - I hate the plastic thing! P.S - hope you find the missing part! I had something similar happen the other day, took the cap off the brake fluid and the rubber insert went flying, never seen it again. Now have a spare master...

    Bit more progress this weekend. No more issues with the lights, so going to assume that's fixed for now. This weekend it was time to change the brake fluid, and the brake lines too as it happens. I picked up a set of the braided lines from @Pro-Line Motorsport for £40 on Black Friday!!! Really...
