Why would you want to?
If it's so you can hear the car go "Psssshhhhh" whenever you change gear, maybe you need to visit www.barryboys.co.uk for inspiration ;-)
I've noticed an increasing number of drivers that indicate right at all roundabouts, even when going left. This used to be the case when I was young, I'm now 65, but it was modified in the Highway Code years ago. So why the change? Read more
My IAM instructor (in the 80s) had a nice turn of phrase - one of which was "left hand brakeaway indicator" when turning off a roundabout still sticks in my mind 25 years on. Taught me on how to tame a 3 series rear end without software as well !
I'm going to look at a brand new Vectra Exclusiv today and was wondering if anyone can report what their real world mpg is on long runs? I commute twice weekly, a distance of 400 miles and would hope to be getting at least the combined 40mpg they quote as achievable. Read more
Hello all,

I personally love the phase1 and cannot believe renault thought it could be improved.
But for every phase1 in decent condition there are about 5 phase 2s so im in the market for a phase 2 with the intention of swapping the front bits for phase 1 bits
Is it simply a case of souricng phase 1 bonnet, panels, bumper and headlights and fitting them or would it involve welding / adjusting any hinges or fixings?
any feedback v.much appreciated

I don't understand why the (Italian I believe?) Royal Society of Chemists would do this. Shouldn't it have been the Society of Physicists? After all they've not got much to do while their new toy is being repaired.

No nanny State, that one!!

I think that you need 5x112 pcd (5 studs which sit in a circle of diameter 112mm).
You need to check the ET - the offset.
MK1 - M4 Golfs, early A3 etc are 5x100 so will not fit. It is possible that the latest golf and A3 will fit
Alloys from the Audi A4/A6/A8 will fit on the hub - but as above check the offset.
Oh and tell the insurNCE.
