Hi all, first of I'd like to thank everyone for the support you have all shown Richard's family. However the time has come to sell his beloved SL. The car truly was his pride and joy, and it saddens me to have to sell it, but I know he would have wanted it to go to a good home and another...

Oh my word thankyou so much - richard would be so touched with everyones generosity, and i am completely overwhelmed. You have brought me so much comfort reading all your lovely words. Jan

Hello everyone this is jan richards wife - i am so touched at all these messages and so would richard be if only he could read them all. For you PCS guys richards car was still supposed to be coming in to you on friday i didnt realise it had been cancelled - I was waiting for ian to collect...

Malcolm I completely agree, the windbreak opens up more opportunities to go topless, particularly in winter. They also find more favour with the fairer sex !

When dealers fit locking bolts to new cars they have four of the new black ones left over. Technically these are "used". On the other forum someone from an MB dealer is selling them for £2 each which is much less than the new price. Ask your dealer if they will match that ?

It does cover up the rear seat but you can still get things in there by flipping the front seat forwards. At least it stops stuff blowing off and out of the rear seat !

Absolutely yes. The difference with the windbreaker up is phenomenal. My wife even tolerates roof down driving in the winter with the windbreaker up and the heated seats on. Buffeting is dramatically reduced.

No sunroof on the one I am getting

There is a "how to" on the other forum I think

Thanks thats really useful. No auto box or electric windows and its a 2006 so appears to be in the 92% reliability camp. Probably doesnt have aircon though as that seems to have been an extra. Still for £1250 its a bargain !

Thanks. I am not clear on whether or not unisex rates now apply but boys used to cost multiples of girls rates.

My friend wouldnt even know what a cam belt is ! He will however have only ever taken it to a Renault dealer so it has probably been changed already. It certainly wasnt on last weeks service invoice so I am pretty confident it has been done. He is my best friend and wouldnt do that to me knowingly.

Every one I have looked at on Pistonheads and Autotrader has aircon ....... Mine is uber basic though and even has manual windows so lets see ? It has a belt not a chain so that needs investigating.

It appears to have a cam belt changeable at 6 years or 72k miles so I need to see if it has been done

The trouble with forums is that people mostly only post negatives. Rarely does anyone go on to say how great their car is. My CLK has been fantastic in every respect but this is the first time I have said that on here. My friend has had absolutely no problems with the car and if you go by forum...

A friend has just offered me his wifes 2006 Clio 1.2 for £1250 and needless to say I bit his arm off ! One owner, full Renault service history, £400 last week including MOT. 40k miles. Its absolutely basic but at that price who cares ? I dont know anything about Clios - any pointers ? Do they...

Did I read recently that DVLA have changed their rules on personalised numbers on a SORNEd car ? I think they have intoduced a time limit on SORN beyond which the right to use the personalised reg number is lost. Sneaky !

Brilliant ! Thank you for posting this

DVLA call them " personalised ". An individual is given permission by DVLA to display them on a specific vehicle. The vehicle owner can apply for permission to move the number to another vehicle at a later time. If they sell the car the number will go with it to the new owner unless the buyer...

The number will always belong to DVLA. They grant a permit to an individual (the grantee) for it to be used on a specific vehicle. The car owner can subsequently apply for permission to move it to another vehicle.
