    10 medium stops at 10mph.

    20 medium stops at 20mph.

    30 3/4 stops at 30mph.

    Let them cool and repeat the 30mph stops increasing to full force braking.

    Everybody has their own methods though :smile:

    Lol!

    Which one did you go for? I've found a couple, but not sure which one to go for.

    This one looks like it only comes with actual mirror part - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321329127265?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649

    This one looks like it comes with more (sensor, cover etc), but it's listed for a Scenic - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Renault-S...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3a8c9d9cc2

    Does anyone know if the Scenic mirror is the same part? It certainly looks the same as far as I can tell.....
     
  4. I know where I'm going tomorrow. 235?

    You need Costco membership.

    £120 is for 225.

    I think the 235's are £135ish
     
  6. I have one. I don't want 225s though. I'm just going to have to the air for funky tyres to contact me to take payment

  7. If you are careful taking the cover off, you shouldn't need to buy another.
     
  8. Quick wash (only did it 3 days ago anyway) and more polishing and correction, well pleased with my new purchase of a DA as the car had a really odd but long scratch across the roof and while it's still there it's massively reduced.

    Currently on a break having been through 2 passes over the roof with 2 different grades of polish, going out again in a bit to do the last pass with some finishing polish and then planning to wax it.
     
  9. Gave the inside a good clean. Fuck me it was dirty!
    Speed detailed the outside after yesterday's wash.
    Love this sunshine. It's like I went to sleep in the winter then woke up six months later in the summer!
     
  10. Tell me about it Craig I've spent the last 2 days polishing and waxing it, lights out the lot, and I don't even like cleaning cars, can't seem to stop now though, also fitted rear mud flaps
     
  11. Pics of your flaps Steve?
     
  12. Will do Chris's but this new photo bucket app is a bloody nightmare to upload pics, can't get used to it mate
     
  13. Today was the third day of detailing the R26 and I've still not finished. How the hell is this practical?

    Granted, I keep stopping to get more beer, but this isn't work - Mon-Fri is for that.

    As soon as I drive it to work tomorrow, it will all have been for nought thought. Does anybody really detail a daily driver?
     
  14. I know what you mean! I never use my phone for that, always use the computer.
     
  15. Yeah I detail my car once a year properly (correction) and do it several weekends after that for mini top up details. It's always worth it.
     
  16. Carted a load of horse sh*t in the boot then a dump run with bits if the garden. Smells fragrant now. zanytudy.jpg zeryte7u.jpg

    Good ole polish car wash in and out. She's shinning like a beut now and feels fresh inside.
     
  19. Cleaned my passanger seat after my gf decided it was a good idea to sit on it with wet paint on her trousers.
     
  20. Rolled out this from the garage, and promptly put it back as it was getting too cold to mess about with. 2014-03-10 14.37.43.jpg
     
  21. Yea, are lass does that sometimes...
     
  22. I fitted pressed metal plates this evening, much nicer than cheap plastic tat.
     
  23. Pic.?
     
  24. Jumped on the bandwagon and fitted an auto dimming rear view mirror, nice easy job, don't know why they weren't fitted as standard

    Link to where I can get one?

    Stu

    Where did you get yours from?

    Still haven't taken the plunge yet, not sure I trust the eBay ones.
     
  27. Got mine off ebay for £15, loads on there I just chose the cheapest one, in mint condition aswell
     
  28. Stu

    Stu

    Any chance of a link mate?
     
  29. Didn't know these fitted straight in. Just ordered one myself. 17.99 off eBay :smile:

    Do they auto dim mirrors need wired into anything? Spotted a couple for the mk3 on eBay
     
  31. On the mk2 the wire is already there, you could pop the cover on yours to see if its the same?
     
  32. Mine came today but are you supposed to have the brown and grey plugs connected or just one? Mines constantly got a green tinge to it.
     
  33. New dampers, twist links, drop links, nsf & osf wishbones, pollen filter, oil filter, oil, spark plugs all ordered and delivered thanks to Adam. My desk at work is a little cluttered. Someone's megane is getting spoilt this weekend :wink:
     
  34. Corey, are you not changing top mounts at the same time as springs and dampers?
     
  35. On mine, their were 2 plugs already wired up, i presume for the rain sensor / climate control. Just one plug for the rear view mirror (grey i think) mine was wrapped in fabric and tucked away.
    The green tinge is normal as the brightness is controlled by the mirror, if you want to double check its working properly just cover up the hole / sensor on the back for a few seconds and it should turn darker
     
  36. It's on my list mate but finances are dwindling this month. I'll get them bought and fitted next month. I would have bought them but cooksports and a decat became available and I couldn't resist. I'm so weak....

    Are they awkward to fit?
     
  37. Yeah I have the small black plug that goes into the rain sensor, then the bron plug that was connected now redundant and the grey plug which was wrapped up now plugged in? That correct?
     
  38. Dropped my car of to get the cooksports fitted excited:rolleyes: Now having a long day at work waiting to go pick her up
