cheers for the recommendation. rentec are going to phone me tomorrow with a quote but said its likely to be around that. must just be me expecting things for cheap lol

Hi all, O/S front wheel bearing has gone in the clio. Been phoning round garages in Edinburgh (i'm too far away from my local guy back home since moving here) and they are all quoting at least £130 per side to have them done. This seems a little expensive to me? Can anyone recommend a reliable...

I understand the speed implications. In a 1.4 clio either is pretty unlikely! My point was mostly that they are (some would say) an incorrect rating compared with standard. I could have bought T rated initially but opted for H at a small increase in price.

I ordered some tyres (Dunlop SP Sport) for the clio yesterday, and when they turned up today I found them to be T rated rather than H as I had ordered. I'm pissed off but there's little I can do because of the jubilee weekend, the earliest I will have the replacement tyres, according to the...

Graphics aff, silvervisions in the front and rear lights, replace the old RS badge for the new style and do the wheels anthracite and put a splitter on the front. (OEM, looks like it's been removed). Otherwise, tidy. I know a good detailer too ;)

Wonder if anyone in the know can help me. I've a 2006 1.4 clio 3. On cold start up the engine makes a whirling noise which then disappears once the engine gets warm. Also, in the first mile or so of my journey in the morning, again when the car is cold, changing gear produces the same...

Tyre performance is so subjective, its almost impossible to decide based on reviews alone. I would suggest which magazine for some kind of impartial testing. Otherwise, the usual performance/ price correlation stands.

I guessed that! There must be some overlap in what they take off though!

some talk about Iron X in here; i've used Tardis before which is great for tar and organic things, will iron X remove this too or will i be buying both at my next shop?

Who is that with?!

Bloody hell, how many cars have you had in the last year?! Another great choice, i noticed the finish on the alloys looks a little rough though.

LOL at 3:27!!!! Proper dangerous Also LOL at some of the tactics they are using, such as throwing road cones at the windows!
