AdamR28 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Well it's nothing to do with me really - just someone I know sells them, cheap and amazing service. I'll get onto him now George! Edit: Standard 312mm disc yeah? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 LCR's are 323mm, 28mm thick. I wouldn't mind them with grooves, but don't want drilled. Cheers dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prawny Baby Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 New company car has arrived! And I'm hugely ashamed to admit, that I really rather like it. it has the longest name in the entire world though, it's a Renault Megane Coupe 1.9 DCi 130 Eco2 Dynamique TomTom. haha, what a mouth full! Mega spec inside though, Satnav, cruise, bluetooth, bluetooth audio streaming, auto lights, auto wipers, keyless entry. it's french, and it'll probably break, but it was free, and I won't pay a penny if it breaks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamR28 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Don't you mean WHEN it breaks? Way too many electronic gadgets for a French car Still does look like a good mile muncher! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD™ Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I like the way the awful boot from previous Meganes has evolved into something quite nice on this new one, a whole lot more subtle. Seems like a cool little company car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrayvon Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 My brother has the 'sport tourer' version of that as his company car (his is the Tom tom edition too). Like you say, there is a lot of kit in there. Not sure if yours is the same engine, but his doesn't sound real. When you start it, it sounds like a pretend car. Hard to explain! Also his has had electric problems already, and its a 61 plate.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I hate the exterior styling of these, but fortunately when you're driving you're usually inside the thing so it's not a major issue. Interior is a class apart from the outside by the looks of it though. Winner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Track rods are all swapped over. One of the annoying noises has gone as a consequence...

I had this with mine when I got it as it had been sat for a month during some rain. One 10 minute trip of heavy braking between a couple of roundabouts did the trick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 I need to make sure a few other things are done first and then I'll gladly do that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Ok, the other annoying noise, the squeak it makes when the wheel is turned, is still there. I wonder if it's the front brakes? Or it's some issue with the driveshaft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrayvon Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 by going mostly sideways Good man. You about this weekend? Could do with a hand...(i.e want to borrow your axle stands and trolley jack...and probably you 'cos I'll do it wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDoom Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 vw festival: Ahh, never knew James Fawcett was going! Did you get a proper look at his mini? That things nuts! Turbo vtec with 350bhp on 10's... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrDoom, known jimmy for years, yeah seen his mini plenty of times. last RR it went on was 399bhp i believe. its good work to say hes done most of it himself. you'd be very pissed off if you paid good money for it though.

Pashley26 Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 Nahh, owned by a mate. Just felt slow and lifeless. To make it fun you had to drive it so stupidly fast you'd never enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
george_seamons Posted August 21, 2012 Report Share Posted August 21, 2012 That was pretty much my opinion too. Very dull. Nice sound, but that's about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
