    Help!! Flushed & Bled Brakes, Now Clutch Does Nothing!!!

    Hi guys, seriously stressing here. Flushed and bled all my brakes and clutch today with new fluid. I used the visibleed one man kit. Clutch fluid seemed dodgy to begin with - kept coming out with lots of air bubbles and some pumps of the clutch didn't seem to push any fluid out at all. I tried...

    Progressive Bump Stops with Dust Covers

    Hi guys, I changed my oil the other day and (after not being able to fit my jack under the car properly) realised my front left spring has broken :( I don't want to buy coilovers (£££) so my decision is between replacing with standard springs, Eibach or Madeno Racing. Eibach have not been...

    How to remove interior rear plastic bits?

    Basically I want to remove the two bits of carpet each side of the boot, to do this I need to remove the plastic panels in the two pics below. I don't want to yank them the wrong way and break off any plastic clips! I have removed the two bolts and popped up the two bits on the top. I think...

    200 Service Schedule Request

    Right, I feel bad for posting this as I've just done a search and there are looads of threads on this topic.. but none I could find had accurate information regarding the service schedule for a 200.

    Are all mk3 boot carpets the same?

    Does anyone know if all the mk3 boot carpets are the same? The carpet on the base and on both sides of the boot.. so the 3 pieces in total. I rang up a Renault parts place but they weren't very helpful! PS if anyone happens to have any lying around PM me :)

    Exhaust Sealant for Akrapovic

    I will be fitting my used Akrapovic Evo system this Saturday if all goes to plan and I cannot decide whether to use an exhaust sealant or not.. The official fitting instructions (LINK) doesn't say it is required but something in the back of my mind is saying it might be best to use some. On...

    http://www.rybrook.co.uk/mini/used-cars/8160/mini-john-cooper-works/ Those pictures don't do it justice - it's such a gorgeous car in the metal :drool: Pretty quick too! Steering felt solid and precise but the car kept jumping everywhere and tugging at the steering along the country lanes we...

    Wheel Alignment with EPAS

    Hi guys, A couple of months ago I had my tyres changed and wanted a full wheel alignment done at the same time.. but I was told by my local wheels & tyres garage that they couldn't do the wheel alignment because the car had electric power steering which made it too difficult. I mentioned this...

    Anyone used nutmeg.com?

    Has anyone here actually invested using nutmeg.com? I've read good things about it and it seems like a wise way of easily investing.. but I have never heard from anyone that's used it. I'm fed up of my 0.002% Lloyds savings interest rate (it really is something like that). Cheers!
