Hello from Barwell (Leics)

Discussion in 'New to the Club? Why not introduce yourself?' started by gazmidas, Dec 24, 2014.

  1. Hi, my name is Gareth and I am a petro-holic.....

    I have recently moved from the world of Alfa's to owning a 5dr 225 in black. Love it so far, but have a cambelt service due, wheel bearing shot and dodgy electrics to sort....

    I am sure I will be asking many questions over the next few months!

  2. Welcome aboard Gareth.

    Get some pics up :-)
     
  3. Hello welcome.
     
  4. My dad lives in Barwell
     
  5. Is he a Renault man as well? Would be good to find some local specialists / recommended garages.

    Hopefully the below photos will work, pretty rubbish quality as they are from my phone straight after I just washed it. I think I got it at a fairly good price, but am already creating a long list of jobs to complete.... I bought the car as a bit of a stop gap till I figure out what car to buy, however I can see me keeping this one for a while :smile:

  6. First thing i need to figure out is how to get my images to show in the forum rather than links....
     
  7. Welcome Gareth

    hope your enjoying the world of French hot hatches so far, Iirc servicing for near you will be a place in Birmingham called BTM, RS specialist, just so you know.

    To to insert a photo to show up you press the insert image icon at the top of the text box

  8. Thanks Si, I will look up BTM and see how far they are.

    The two places I have found so far are:

    Nuneaton:

    http://www.m2srs.co.uk/

    Nottingham:

    http://www.diamondmotors.net/

    So will keep on the look out and get quotes etc for the cam belt - one of the first major jobs to complete!

    I have tried to the adding image icon, however it just puts a link to the image rather than showing it in my post. Do you need to host them elsewhere to show them in the forum without clicking the image name?

  9. I think diamond motors are a registered trader on here (see trader tab at top) so try emailing them for a quote. :smile:
     
  10. I think diamond motors are a registered trader on here (see trader tab at top) so try emailing Mick for a quote. :smile: Altho there are some prices on his website.

    pS dodgy electrics are just normal lol
     
  11. Another 5dr on the forum :wink: get some cooksport springs on that and the stance will look perfect, nice looking car tho
     
  12. Are the cooksport springs the same for the 5dr and 3dr? Where is best to get them?
     
  13. Yes same springs buddy, I think I ordered mine directly from cooksport
     
  14. another 5 door black in leicester. I've got the same car I'm not to far from you.

    I've put cooksport springs on mine same fitment as 3 door.

    order from cooksport website directly.
