Probably the newest car you could get with the rugged TU engine, non of this prince rubbish, what a shame.

Renaultsport Heaven right there. 👍

Not yet, how many AX GT threads can autoshite handle?

Whereabouts did it need welding? Has it gone behind the headlights like all AX's do?

Yes it was, well remembered. that GT5 is ultra ultra rare, nice too.

Hahaha look what I bought I September, was going to start my own thread shortly, when I get round to starting work on it. Would be a G plate too if it wasn't from Ireland.

Mine is the mirror opposite to that, mine is set on the lowest setting because it's reasonably heavily weighted, definitely not light. I'm not a particularly lightweight bloke or weakling either, so very strange.

At 200 notes you'd be better off converting it to EPAS. Best thing I ever did to mine.

I unlowered my 182 as soon as I got it and put it back to standard cup spec, and this is coming from someone who likes a lowered car. 182's don't have a massive amount of grip like a 197/200, but that's the fun, you can throw it about and get out of shape and it doesn't bite you in the arse.

I have one of these because I lost mine, not expensive. https://www.toolstation.com/angle-grinder-pin-wrench/p47556

These will probably be the easiest cambelt in the world to do, even the twin cam 16v are simple to do.

That looks very PSA, very possibly Citroen C2/C3 as they use the same dash.

Welcome to the club mate, you'll either love em or hate em.

Didn't it have some of those daft eyelashes on a while back?

I thought you had flogged that?

'Cambelt just changed mate', even though the engine in question has a chain.

I was gonna say, I bet someone buys that and robs the engine out of it, looks like they already have, 'turbo engine has been replaced by non turbo engine'. 🤦

I would let the guy recovering the headlining fix it.

Just thinking the same, one for the ambitious towbar thread.

In chronological order. KEEPER: Clio 182, had it for a few years, and Intend to keep it another few years, been my daily on and off for a while, love this car. Took it out today to blow the cobwebs off the dephaser. Need to plead with @Dave_Qat some point to sort me a spare key. OMG ready for cambelt change. AQUIRED: Hugely shonky Citroen AX GT, looks mostly solid bar the area behind the headlight. Went to see it on hottest day of year at Mathewson's on my way back from Scarborough, and put a crafty provisional bid on it, and won. Not done anything to it since I got it in August. I could do a thread on it if there is any interest. Watch the you toob vid for lols. SOLD: Had to sell this, been in the family a few years, but surplus to requirements. Shame as it was ultra reliable, always ran and started when everything else didn't. Still local so should see it around. Live long Shitetron. AQUIRED: Boring modern. Decided to dip my toe in the EV cesspit. So decided to rent an Ovlov XC40 Recharge through NHS lease for 3 years, only took 13 months to get built 🤦What it lacks in character and range it makes up in getting a lick on.

Are you still in Sheffield?

Years ago I had similar with a 1.6 MK2 golf, never overheated but really poor heater. I ended up removing every rubber hose and flushing the entire system through, there was an unbelievable amount of rusty crud that came out of the matrix and the rubber hoses. Built it back up and it was unbelievably hot after that, transformed it. Can't believe I put up with it so long.

If its an eqc there is probably about three tonne there. I wonder if the owner wasn't used to over 400bhp? Some of these electric cars are probably a bit too quick for inexperienced drivers especially at this time of year.

That's what put me off my caddy, which is Mk5 golf mostly, just seemed cheap and nasty, never mind needy.

Please tell me your going to replace it with a genuine vag thermostat
