FOR SALE - 480 bits and bobs
Well the 480 has gone. I spoke to the dealer and he was happy for me to pillage the car as best i could, so I now have for sale (postage costs will be supplied on request, when I dig out my scales): - Boot roller cover in good condition, although the mechanism for automatically reeling it back in do...

FOR SALE - 480 ES 2.0 Auto
I have an M plate ES 2.0 Auto in Flame Red which, subject to wifey approval, will be going in favour of a new car this week. The p/x price I have been offered is pitiful but with nowhere to keep her I will have to accept it unless anyone on here wants to take her off me ASAP. She has don just over 9...

Rear wiper
My rear wiper has started to not return to its 'parked' position - it simply stops at about 45 degrees and I then have to turn the switch on and off to get it to move again. Any ideas what the cause might be?
Strangely, it works fine if the main wipers are on and I select reverse.

The full version of that was on Motorway Cops last week and it scared me half to death.

Basic Suspension Q
I have been reading up on suspension systems and how they work etc, primarily using this excellent site: www.carbibles.com
Question I have is, what setup does the 480 have front and rear?
Cheers

I know the stuff you mean - Engine Flush from Wynns or something. I like the idea of giving the internals a good clearout but am slightly perturbed by the odd story of it opening up weak seals etc currently held together with the very crud I want to remove. I guess it is a gamble, and as the car is ...

Engine Flush
As I am embarking on a voyage of discovery and picking a spanner up for the first time this weekend (read: doing an oil & filter change), is it worth putting some sort of engine flush through at the same time?
If so, has anyone got any recommendations on what flush to use?
Cheers
Jimmy

How much polishing....
....is too much polishing?
How often do you all polish and wax your cars? Just wondering really, as I only tend to polish mine 2 or 3 times a year as I have a paranoia about taking all the paint off!!

I couldn't believe the price of spark plugs in Halfrauds on Sunday. £24.99 for a pack of 4! What spark plugs were they?! :shock: Bosch super 4? I found more expensive spark plugs to perform worse on my car. I recently bought some more NGK (v groove i think) from halfrauds and they were around 11...

Halfrauds Prices
I couldn't believe the price of spark plugs in Halfrauds on Sunday. £24.99 for a pack of 4! I thought it seemed expensive so waited and popped into GSF yesterday - exactly the same ones for £1.50 each +VAT.
I was aware they were a bit more expensive, but that really surprised me.

Clio 1.9D
Anyone familiar with these?
I need to source a replacement starter motor asap for my uncle's 1998 Clio 1.9D but GSF / Eurocarparts etc have said there are two available (a 1.7kW and a 1.4kW) but offer no guidance on which I need.
Any suggestions?
