Don't judge me... This car was an absolute bargain and I can't turn those down. It all began with the usual casual browsing on Facebook marketplace of a Friday evening. I saw this listed for £900 down from £1700, figured it was a shed and I love a shed. Sent a message expecting to get told to...

Got around to fitting a new battery and the car fired into life with no issues at all. A few weekends ago I got around to fitting the replacement cat and get a part number off the springs. Once the car was in the air I could see the bodgery that's happened to put the underbody protection plates...

Looks good when it's clean! Watching the onboards from Tom's E46 shows how planted the Meg is, really does look to be the full package.

You seem to do well at other car related things so I'm sure you can paint the wings!

Oh, I should probably add. The Carbon Lorraine RC6 pads that @Beany forced me to buy and fit are actually a very good pad, when it comes to finding out how broken the car is, I'll have a look and see how much meat is left on them. However they weren't much more than the previous EBC RPX pads I...

Teehee. Fire. This is the reason my diffuser is melted. Not much more to say that the others that came to Cadwell haven't already said. Weather was good, company was good, track behaviour was actually really good (other than a pair of pricks in red Mercs that refused to move) and amazingly I...

From changing the brake lines on mine I really don't think there is, used to be a thing on torsion bar rear suspension on old Peugeot/Citroens. I don't remember seeing anything though. Only other thing I can think of is maybe a lack of rear suspension droop? I didn't see them myself but several...

He's the one that bullied me into buying a set of RC6's!

Good colour combo. Do it.

Can you polish your bonnet though please, those swirls are worth a second a lap! :grin:

My thought process for new discs and pads was to get them done before Cadwell. Thankfully your car is still road legal so you can bed them in with a week or so of road driving, I had to do mine on track. It's very difficult to do a good job of bedding discs and pads in at Cadwell in my...

"Touring car-lite". Wow. I do like the fact they're doing a bit of area cooling for the interior light with the roof scoop, I remember mine used to get red hot and you could see the paint on the roof melting. You're all taking the piss but this is top notch preventative maintenance right here!

Thankfully removing sound deadening is a job you only do once! I still need to do mine...

All fingers point to a dodgy new cam position sensor, but the fault codes coming back were all over the place. I fixed a minor exhaust leak and changed loads of bits, cleaned the throttle body, new air filter etc... Realistically I can't say for sure, but as it seems to be fixed I can't say I...

Free photos yaaaaay!

Snetterton - 15th March As you'll all no doubt have seen by now, the Clio has been an absolute pain in the arse with a lack of power, strange noises and generally being a sad panda. As we've got quite a few of us going to Cadwell next month I was using today to get issues ironed out, reasons...

Same engine as my Mondeo. Good spec? I love the heated and cooled seats in mine!

Little bit of prep today for Snetterton tomorrow. It's supposed to be wet for most of the day so I decided that probably wouldn't be the best conditions to be trying to bed a new set of brakes in. Thankfully the EBC RPX pads have got a good amount of meat left in them and the discs are in better...

If it makes you feel any better, mine had the belt done recently and had a similar tick. However it's gone now. I've heard several people saying the Motrio aux tensioner can be a bit noisy to start with. Not overly helpful in your case as it's the wrong side of the engine. One thing that might...

Mine has the glovebox removed, centre console is gone, all A pillar plastics and headlining is gone. Only reason the lower dash on the drivers side is still there is because I can't be arsed to make something to relocate the traction control switch. Everything behind the drivers seat is gone bar...
