as it's not an "im going to last forever" diesel, i think that mileage is a good thing to check.

yehh i did the same thing in my old 106, it was so simple, but then i take out the tape player from my R9 and BAM! a bunch of wires i've never ever seen before. The worst part is it took like half an hour to come off! Anyway, going into town today, thanks for the help =]

Took it =] Good luck with your work!

I'm about to fit my Kenwood Cd player (with the normal modern wires and stuff on) into my Renault, which has super old wires and stuff on! There must be some sort of adapter or something, to go from one block to the other??

ahhh i'm dreading that 100k mark!! Yehh i had the flu a couple of weeks back, sucks! day off work?

It's only just sunk in that that's a million miles! What car was that in??

I hate it when people don't use them! Especially when they're overtaking - it looks so "i'm meant to be in front of you, move aside" I usually flash them then indicate left, right, left, right.. :D

I used exactly the same excuse with my Renault. He was parked, facing where i was trying to park, just watcing me, it was horrible!

999,999! That's insane! What happened?? Did the clock just stop turning or go back to 0??

:D Where could i pick up new EU plates? What's the difference between EU plates and.. normal plates? Unless EU plates are normal plates... :? Insurance is about £520 :D I felt really guilty watching it clock over 42k the other day :(

1988 Renault 9 Here are some pictures of my Renault 9! Now i'm only 17 so it's older than me! In good nick though =] What do you think? =] The only thing I might change are the reg plates. They look a bit old, but my dad says the fact that they have the...

old people

when i had alloys for my 106, i had to use spacers. basically, it went car, spacer, alloy. a spacer is a small round disc that goes on just before the wheel, therefore making the wheel further away from the car. as for the effect to handling.. i couldnt say, although as the wheels are...

i always remember torque because of those strongman competitions where they pull buses and stuff - those guys have so much torque! and the skinny guys that run the 100 metres, they have a fairly good bhp dont you think? they couldnt pull a bus but they can accelorate fast enough and keep a...

all great ideas! it's a 1.4 automatic engine

do you mean condition? or style? its the old square one, F reg, 1988. the whole car is immaculate condition, owned by one old woman for 18 years, and only done 40,000 miles! MOT'd every year too. im gonna keep the exterior standard and then make the interior a bit more luxury... then...

the mileage is unreal in a good way? =]

So aswell as a new 106, i'm getting a 1988 Renault 9 for £300 and get this - one owner from new, only 40,000 miles. any tips for doing it up nice? (in an oldskool way)

well as i love diesels, and reliability, and im all about the interior, it's got to be the new VW Golf What are your thoughts?

ahh i've gone off the idea now, purely because i'm being bought a car later in the year. but thank you everyone for your help, and i'd love to see this done! thanks again Lee

But can i get one with leather and diesel for under £5k?

good call

For a long while i've wanted an Alfa Romeo 156, in black with cream leather and wooden interior and white clocks. (it has to be perfect) ...But my dad tells me they're well-known for being unreliable So! What other cars could i get? Here are the things to include: Budget of around...

ive got a 1500 mardi gras =] and i really would 3 write up an explanation but i think the whole doors on my car are different to the standard 106 like, the door is actually part of the trim and stuff. i'll have a look and get back to you! =]

either the 1.9 or the 2.4, as long as it's a diesel. whats the cheapest price i can get one this year? what do you reckon? thats the 156 or the 147, i dont really mind. or any others of the same standard. and apparently you can get 50mpg out of the JTD's, is this true? Thanks! Lee

Isnt it like a couple of hundred to buy lambo doors and fittings but then like over a grand to have them fitted too? Or is that just something i've heard..

a very good call! thanks!

an alfa romeo! i love them... so much.

hahaha tell me she did it! that'd be so funny

Haha I would and all! How much do valet's get paid? :roll:

Your tires are meant to be dirty though! You could even buy that "spray on dirt" that some guy made millions off!

Yeh, just when i thought i was getting bored of my normal door locking devices, my key snapped off in my door! It was a sign! But all the work on my car got me ready for more! So I did loads more stuff to it, and hoovered it all =] Damn i love cleaning cars

So i have leather-look seats (but i've cleaned them with leather-cleaner which retains (or in this case, creates) the classic leather smell), and they look and smell fantastic, and are often confused with actual leather seats, even though they cost a mere £20. Which is all well and good...

I always wash my tires loads so that they look shiny and black, but what's this stuff you speak of?? Could do with some of that. Lee

Hey, I'd just like to know how you got on with these wheels? Lee

Haha that's priceless! One of the many reasons i will never drive the missus's car!

... to my 106. It was this kit: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230082712678 ...And it was so difficult to fit! The instructions were just a wiring diagram (not a good one at that), and it said nothing about anything! So, after 2 whole days of crafting...

All of the BBC videos of this that people have put up on the net have been taken off by the BBC for being used without permission, so here's some footage from Polish TV of the crash. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLXIGUhU8bU

oh right cool! i was kinda hoping you'd say that, i still love the individuality that would come out of having a 1.9 in a 106 any more advice on the 1.9 conversion?

and also how much would a turbo cost to buy and put on? =]
