    Cup+Mot= Headache

    Yeah I'm aware of that, retest is only £15. It's just that I've got one fail for the tyres from one garage (which are changed) and another for the brakes and stuff from the other garage, I'm obviously gonna go for the cheapest option which is the first garage. Will the second fail from the...

    Cup+Mot= Headache

    Spot on Lads. Just found the article, wish I had a bloody printer! Ha Ha. I did do a search but there was nothing about it being seized or anything. Just been out to spray wd40 on it, no point really cause it's not attached to anything. Anyone know the crack about my second question, about...

    Cup+Mot= Headache

    Alright Guys, need some advice from you. The cup just failed it's Mot for the brake load sensing valve linkage being seized and both rear brakes recording little or no effort. The cups don't have a linkage i'm sure so how can it be seized? And would that account for the poor rear braking...

    Sunday afternoon about 2pm. Seen the cup parked up at the garage, didn't spot the reg or if it had a CS sticker. Spotted the red full fat just coming into the town off the dual carriageway.

    36k service

    yeah i thought £160 was a bit cheaper considering Renault charge £300. Might go down to see them again to make sure our wires aren't crossed

    36k service

    My local garage opened the bonnet, looked at it for 30 secs and said be about an hours work plus parts. But a servicing and aux belt change for between £160-£180 cant be bad.

    strange feeling help!!!

    You'll get that in most cars at that speed. The clio's not really built aerodynamicaly for that speed, it will do it but thats mainly due to the brute power of the engine. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Central locking...

    If you unlock the car then don't open any doors,it locks itself automatically after a few seconds. They all do that I think

    Cup and weight

    Don't really see what the camber of the road has to do with it. Even on the perfectly flat 'road' I have at work it still locks up, even in the dry but not as much as in the wet

    Cup and weight

    Yeah I find that too. Well happy not to carry passengers. Just a little off topic, but I noticed that my front left wheel locks up before my right under heavy braking without a passenger, but is fine with a mate in the passenger seat. Anyone else noticed this?
