Well, the weather's looking brill ain't it! Never mind. My car looks better wet anyway. Lol

If anyone's coming from Colch or Clacton or nearby, 3 of use are meeting at Maccy D's Tollgate at 8:30am, leaving at 9 to go across to Bishops Stortford to meet up with the big convoy from further south.

I had a good look and nodded at you. I was a passenger in my mates cough mondeo cough.

Can I just check. We're not meeting at McDonalds Harlow now, it's Birchanger at Bishops Stortford? And what time?

The one I from my local spares place was nearly twice the length of mine?? Both sides on my 172 (which is a normal non cup) are quite short, I'd say about 18" long end to end. The one at the top of the page looks identical with a short 6.75" ish shaft between the joints. So the only place I...

Tried Renparts. No joy. Dan, that's all well and good saying that, but why? It's nothing special. How do you know that the only available from Renault?

Adam, that 1st pic. What one is that exactly?? I've got a 02 172 with a busted offside driveshaft that looks identical, but I can't find anywhere that has one. Parts places keep offering me ones that are twice as long (ish) or with different inside ends. Your photo looks exactly like the broken...

Cheers buddy. I'll get my welder out. ;)

Cheers. I was thinking the same. I was worried about about causing a restriction in the flow of gasses, but it can only be minimal, yeah?????

Firstly, let me start by saying this. I'm asking a question, if you have a view which is relevant and possibly of help please feel free to reply. If you want to be funny and say something bitchy, kindly jog on. Rant over. Sorry, I'm so bored of keyboard warriors. I've got a K-Tec 182 look...

Looks nice man. Liquid Yellow is the best colour. The detail in your car is amazing! All the stuff you've is great, but it's slower than my 172 though.

Parked outside Imperial Cars. Sticker'd up with CS logo. Yellow fogs, wheel diamonds and rF1 logos.

Had the same problem with my mates 172 after we changed his wheel for an OMP one. Took it to Renault and they said the steering angle sensor (the flat plastic thing that sits between the wheel and squib) was screwed and they wanted £370+vat for a new one and calibration. Jokers!! No way we were...

I'm getting noises from my front end and I've got KTec coilies too. I started by getting pings and pongs when I turned a low speeds and now they're knocking and squeaking all the time. I've also got solid KTec top mounts and all the other suspension joints are Polybushed. I'm going to take the...

It's one of the problems with LED lamps. They don't have enough resistance in them to stop it causing a fault in the loom. Sometimes they flash or flicker or just stay on, sometimes they just don't work at all. If you really want LED's in you car, it's worth buying the more expensive ones as...
