Cleaning the car at the weekend and noticed that the nearside door and arch was covered in a load of what looked like tar and oil, wouldn't budge and eventually had to get my mate to machine it out. On closer inspection of the car, I noticed that there was fluid/oil/grease? sitting on the wheel...

Well, my old dears C Class Merc has just finished it's PCP and has only a few weeks until it is returned to Mercedes. She rang me a few weeks back asking for suggestions on a 5 door hatchback she could get the dog into and you can only guess where this was going... As a result and after much...

Hi all, Bought the Mrs a limited edition corsa yesterday as she'd just passed her test and opted out of the scotchguard protection as it is a con IMO. As a result I'm going to wash, clay and seal it myself and just wondering what everyone's most favorable sealant is? I'm planning on using...

Hi guys. Had my 250 now for 5 weeks and on collection of the car from a Renault dealer, I was told that the service book was still with the previous owner and that I'd be receiving it in a matter of days. A fortnight passed and after much persistence I eventually got a text from the salesman...

Hi guys, Was driving down a dual carriageway on the way back from Tesco earlier in a 40, at roughly about 52-53 mph, when I saw the car in front of me heavily brake about 60 metres away from an ANPR van parked in the central reservation.. It looked like this... I slowed down quickly...

Hi all, My 250's warranty runs out in December and I was just wondering whether or not ball joints and arm's are under warranty? As with all the perfohub designs, the ball joints go like crazy and I can imagine one will probably go in the next 10k as they haven't been done yet. If they are...

Missus has just passed her driving tests and insurance quotes for a 133 look quite reasonable. Perfect first car with a little performance IMO.. can't seem to find finance examples or anything anywhere... Anyone got any knowledge? Also any pro's and con's for the car would be helpful :-)

Hi all, Would just like to recommend Elite Motors Bodyshop in Northampton to anyone looking for bodywork and paint services. They are predominately a Porsche and Audi approved specialist but took in my 197 for a wheel refurb, tailgate respray and drivers side rear panel respray. I've been a...

Saw this evening heading down Kingsthorpe Grove. Tidy clean looking car.

Hi all, I've recently had the lower balljoint go on my 197 which I am replacing tomorrow with a new one, the car is also suffering from bad alignment due to the lower joint going which has resulted in the outsides of my front Conti 5's looking a little worse for wear - being replaced with...

Hate to admit it but the 200T is growing on me by the day and I'm interested to see what offers are out there, as I can't find anything online. I'd be looking to part ex my 197 towards it and just wondered what offers 200T owners have been given?

Mine are full of little dinks and chips and I'd rather them wrapped than repainted!

Tyre time for me and after religiously having Conti 5's for years I'm feeling something a little cheaper, but not compromising grip and performance. I've heard relatively good things about the Nankang NS2's albeit the road noise which I think I can live with. Anyone got any first hand...

As above, mine look horrendous with rust now!!
