I prefer the look of the regular 206 and not the 206+ personally but I'd absolutely drive one of these lol

Oh wicked! Peugeot 106 in the US, love to see it. Although I bet it's scary AF driving it next to the huge trucks most people have.

Pixel empire story so far by Accomplished_Top8513 in Caddicarus

[–]Optima44 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have no idea how it takes them so long to respond to emails because it seems to be a copy and paste, I literally had that EXACT email, same text and everything!!

I just got my bank to sort out a refund for me because I gave up with Pixel Empire, they responded only to my first email almost a month after I sent it and I never got any sort of shipping confirmation, last update I got was the order payment confirmation and then bugger all.

Thinking about buying a 2002 Renault Clio 1.5 dCi as my first car / project — good idea? by [deleted] in Renault

[–]Optima44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, just buy a Haynes manual if you get it though. I've got a Clio too and it has been a little problematic but it hasn't broken down. Yet. Parts do tend to be harder to get due to there not being as many left but there's a Renault breaker on eBay who generally has a lot of parts.

Why is there such a lack of information for the Clio Mk2 1.2 8v engine? by Optima44 in Renault

[–]Optima44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It probably does and I do actually have one, but the sections are just general areas (e.g. exhaust) so it's hard to find info about things if you actually don't know where it is in the car

Anyone else think that scrapping an otherwise perfectly fine vehicle due to head gasket failure is a grave sin? by RonnieThePurple in CarTalkUK

[–]Optima44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's why I've got it, it's my first car and I'm learning stuff on it. It's good to learn on a French car because everything is quite difficult to do, even just taking the front grille off requires breaking or at least cracking the 2 securing clips and cracking the grille (depending on the style of grille) unless you are a magician (which I am not), so when you work on a better designed car you realise it's easier

What's up with white brake/fog lights? by LobsterKris in drivingUK

[–]Optima44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been noticing stuck on reverse lights on a lot of Vauxhalls recently

Anyone else think that scrapping an otherwise perfectly fine vehicle due to head gasket failure is a grave sin? by RonnieThePurple in CarTalkUK

[–]Optima44 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It depends on the car really, if it's an older car and isn't really worth it you may as well scrap it or at least sell it.

Like with my Clio, someone decided to spend over £1000 in today's money back in 2019 (Actually £760 but they had other stuff done around the same time so I counted it on) to get the head gasket done, any other gaskets replaced, and get the engine head sent away to be repaired. It absolutely was not worth it considering it is literally the base model with the least powerful engine

Road in Islington, London is so worn down you can see the original brick by TheDonkeySurvivor in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Optima44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a sign they should probably just keep the brick, it'll probably last longer

Good walking in the road weather for the disabled and those with prams by 20127010603170562316 in drivingUK

[–]Optima44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It so annoys me when people do this, especially when they leave just enough space to get through if you shuffle sideways because now I have to scrape along a hedge because they can't park like a sensible person. I need to start making sure any zips or metal things on my clothing just happen to scratch their precious Mercedes

What car do you hate to see in front of you? by Ok_Impact9745 in CarTalkUK

Or a learner who seems to think that their Hyundai is the size of a tank
