Erm, went to the scrappy but got diverted when my car kept cutting out, so went to my dads garage and had a little poke around under the bonnet. Everything seemed cool so made my way back to the scrap yard. They had three Clios there but none of them had what I wanted.

Was a nice ragged Clio RT there, shopping list down the side, Momo seat belt pads, exhaust and air filter missing so I assume these were 'power' mods that have been stripped. Anyways, looked at the engine oil, it was as black as the ace of spades and had a nice lump of white mayo stuck on the dipstick. Poor car!.

Anyways, so off to Renault to see what they had in stock that I needed. Only had an ariel that I want to replace the crappy Bee Sting one I bought ages ago. That came to £10.40 ish Rolling Eyes

Looks cool now it's on though. So anyways, back to my dads to fit the ariel and try and sort my dropper resisitor out. What a bitch of a job. Cut my hands to shit. So cramped under the scuttle panel. But anyways, it worked, for like two seconds, so stuck with just level 1 fan Sad

Then I checked my spark plugs, see what the deal was. All seemed good on that front.

Then I had the joy of changing the exhaust manifold gasket on my bros F reg 1.4 Fiesta. Was pretty straightforward and now the car doesn't sound like a truck.

Then it was a hover out for the Clio. All nice and clean inside, and off home for some tea.

Later on had to set up Sky+ in the lounge as no one else seems capable of plugging the wires back in Rolling Eyes

Then spent about an hour racing AI around the rally track on Live For Speed.

Great fun Laughing
