The red Mini has a stripped sump plug thread at the moment so is not going anywhere till I get five minutes to Helicoil it.

I joined a Renault forum after buying one and found that it was completely different to here. Hardly anyone on line and no sense of community either

Car went on the rolling road yesterday, my little 998 produced 50bhp at 5000rpm, this was 20bhp more than what I turned up to the rr with, car feels so nippy now, just an epic time

And I went to peter Baldwin, his rollers are said to be inaccurate but at low bhp this Inaccuracy is minimal and my car produced 52bhp so I called it 50 to be more accurate but it is so lively now, I really cannot recommend his work enough !!!!

I worked that out as you said replacement wishbone! The one my mate bought was from euro car parts and the rubber just disintegrated

I now have a really good method of doing the retaining clips which makes it easy as pie. So after all the moaning, I shall use these in the future!

Good idea! Saves forking out £40 for a wishbone each time

So got a phone call today about an Apprenticeship with Nagel Langdons, I was told that out of 6 candidates myself and someone else are their favourites and I should hopefully be invited to do some tester days to see how I do and then fingers crossed I will get it! So exciting!

Drape a white sheet with big black eyes and a mouth over the passenger seat to look like you've got a ghost in the car!
