Was over my local hardware store today, and spotted these...
I have no idea if its a good make or not, and dont really care, as i just popped out to the car and tried the hard wax on the front wing quickly, and it looks spanking. So i shall be giving the CUP a good wash, polish and wax...
Basically my mums car - Mondeo ST24 - R plate
is buggered. It wont start. It ticks over but wont actually start.
We got it to ford and they said its the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) which after my brother spoke to them turns out to be what they call the ECU.
They want silly amounts of...
There is a lot of these threads lately, but whats my car worth?
Its a 52 reg CUP
46ish thousand miles on the clock
Magnex Cat back system (cant put back to standard as that one fell off, s**t renault parts!)
BMC CDA Induction Kit, with Cold Air Feed. I have the standard box, but the grill has...
I think my clutch maybe getting rather low, as the biting point is very high on the pedal.
Im fairly confident with car mechanics, and would get my brother to help, as he knows what he is doing.
Where is the best place to buy a new clutch, and how much? Is there anything else that should be...
Was a silver one, with a magnex (i think). going along denmark road (i think), i came up behind you. You turned off down silver road. Was about 8.30-9.00pm last night.
Just been looking on your site, and saw this pic

How easy is it to get to the bit you have painted under the plenum (is that right?)
As i was thinking of getting a engine cover for the cup, but i'd much prefer to polish it up and paint it like that...
Basically on the way home from the gym last night, my backbox fell off the car.
It seems to have rusted right through the pipe, just before the back box.
The car is about 3 and a half years old. Its a CUP. Surely i shouldnt have to pay out for this. Any other brand of car wouldnt have an...
Which is better....
Magnex or Mongoose?
Both have the same tailpipe design of 3.5" twin pipe.
And both around the same price.
I've always thought that Mogoose systems were better.
Its for my CUP by the way.
Well just been to my brothers to get him to fit my new pads that i bought from ripoff renault earlier.
We were both shocked that i hadnt had a crash yet, and that i was still able to stop!
Thats probably the thickest one of the four pads removed.
One pad fell apart when we took it out...
Just been to buy new brake pads for the CUP.
While i was waiting i looked at their prices on services etc.
On the board, they had the price to fit and supply new brake pads for the clio.
£240!!!!!!!!! To fit new brake pads!
Are they having a grin? The pads themselves cost me £45
So how...

Please tell me thats not anyones off here!
I'd hate to think what happend to the subs when the car crashed!
I certainly wouldnt want to be sat in the back...
What generally causes these to come on, with the service light?
Basically i was adjusting the headlights today on my CUP, as they were slightly high for some reason.
But after doing so, and getting back in the car, the orange airbag light and the serv light were on.
Anyone got any ideas why?
Basically i am planning a few things for the cup over the next few months or so.
At the moment its standard,
My plans are
182 Manifold (well at least a 4-2-1)
De-cat
Magnex rear section
BMC CDA (or what ever they are called)
Inlet manifold matched by Ben_r
Re-map of the standard ECU, or...
A girl at work has a 1.5dci and last week her orange light which tells you when the glow plugs are up to temp wouldnt go off, and keeps coming on and going off, along with a warning light (i think she means the STOP light).
She took it to her local garage, and they replaced the glow plugs as...
How much am i looking at for standard front brake pads?
Mine are far too low at the moment, that they are vibrating through the pedal :eek:
Gonna get new ones at the weekend. Will i be ok to get them from halfrauds? or would you reccommend getting them from renault.
I'd like upgraded...
If i was to just get some laquer and spray the bump strips on the cup, would they look ok like the rest of the car, or would i need to spray them with coloured paint first?
Do renault keep a record of the cars they service?
By that i mean on a main database? So if my car was serviced at a garage that wasnt my local one, would my local garage be able to tell me that the service was done etc, and what work was carried out?
Reason i ask is that my book hasnt been...
