    Will taking Clio off road for a few months cause problems?

    Sorry to hear about the leg Eddie, but that's reassuring about the car ;-). Did the brakes bind at all?

    Will taking Clio off road for a few months cause problems?

    Hiya, after a bit of advice. I'm thinking of sorning the Clio for a few months because of cash flow problems, but wondering if it would cause expense/ damage to battery, tyres etc? My intention would be to leave handbrake off, then drive around my road (which happens to be private) every couple...

    Why hasn't anyone spotted mine?

    I've never been spotted either, but take it as a good sign: I love the fact they're rare. I'd get a bit bored if every other car I saw was a 197/200...

    Wheel refurb starting to deteriorate already

    Soz for delay, I'm in Berkshire pikey so bit far for me but glad to hear of somewhere doing a good job. Yeh I think it must be the brake fluid, frank. I noticed the caliper's got a slight run down it and the area of the wheel that's corroded would be right by it. The guys that did the refurb did...

    Wheel refurb starting to deteriorate already

    Well that's kinda good news cos I was going to have a moan at the wheel people, but now I need to ring the servicing guys instead... How can you do a brake fluid change without taking wheels off?

    Wheel refurb starting to deteriorate already

    Really? That is interesting cos I had the brake fluid changed a couple of weeks ago and there wasn't any marks on the wheels to suggest they'd had the wheels off, but I'd thought they had to come off? Didn't notice the blemish until washing it after. Coincidentally there are also a few streaks...

    Wheel refurb starting to deteriorate already

    I clean them every week to two weeks and I sealed them with G5 armour which is supposed to last at least 6 months.

    Wheel refurb starting to deteriorate already

    Had my wheels refurbed back in march/April and now the paint on one of them has gone a bit 'crinkly' for want of a better word. Anyone seen this before? Will it get worse? Got a year's warranty so should be able to take it back but wondering if I should wait and see if it occurs anywhere else...

    RS Combe 5th July (videos)

    Funnily enough my boyfriend saw you on the track as he was there with the focus rs guys. He said the same as you: you're changing down too early and can brake later, just a bit cautious at the mo.

    Door rubbers between door and rear window

    I did mine last week. As the guys say just make sure they're really clean of any residue. I also found the top inch or so a bit harder to squeeze in behind the window so would get this bit really in place with a credit card or similar before doing the rest. There's also a 'how to' in the...

    The Anti World Cup Thread

    So I'm not alone? If football was just football: the matches come on, get played and done until the next match then fine. But why oh why do you have to listen to all the bullsh*t, every advert on telly is football orientated... I'm sick of it already. I say this while my boyfriend is watching...

    Please.... someone talk me out of it!

    and your memory will start to deteriorate: you'll forget you have indicators and will start driving like a *"#*! seriously, the Clio is such good fun to drive. why don't you keep it for another year, throw it round some roads and if you're still yearning for an Audi get one then. I bet the...
