thats me. very smart iceberg mate. liking the wheels!

newthy - i think it was you i said hello to in traffic this afternoon? nice RB by the way, snap!

I was going to. It was listening to the 'wise words' of my dad that made me go there, as he get all his work done at this local garage. They obviously dont have the proper tools for the job. Im a little lost now on how to forward them the bill for someone putting it right when they are claiming...

handy little update... i was talking to a customer of mine at work today, got on the subject of cars, and it turned out he was a test engineer and mechanic on citreon cars for years and said he'd take a look at my car... bonus! on inspection, he said straight away my newly fitted cambelt is...

Im concerned if what they've done is going to cause any damage. fred, any chance i can pop by this week for you to have a look please?

when i took it back to them yesterday they said the belt will tension itself over the next few weeks, so the noises im hearing are normal. the front crank oil seal - when replacing the cambelt they noticed that had split, so replaced it.

im unsure if they had renault tools to work on the car. they charged 680, which included full service, cambelt and tensioner, aux belt and front crank oil seal.

Fred, i spoke to you a few weeks ago enquiring about servicing. you said i would need the cambelt changing due to the age. i also mentioned id be coming over for a yozza system from you. i did plan coming to you for the service, but trusty words of my dad said go to where he gets all the work on...

so obviously my best bet would be to go back this week and tell them the noise hasnt gone? i dont want them to fob me off with the same response though.

I had the cup full serviced and cambelt change on wednesday. started it up for work on thursday morning and noticed a 'screeching' noise (coming from the cambelt i think). so, i took it back to the garage yesterday morning and they said its normal for that sound to happen when timing belt and...

Out for a drive yesterday afternoon, a blue 1*2, a white 200? and a black 197 (on his phone!) anyone?

A couple of weeks ago i collect my car from outside my mates house. It appeared some vandal decided to have some fun and steal the cap from one of the wing mirrors. I then had to go to the expense of buying a new one from renault. Obviously the genuine part is black. So now this is a good excuse...

Hi all, I knew the day was coming where i had to change my exhaust. Lack of tlc and many miles driven over the last 6 months, i havent had time or money to replace it. Today was mot day, it just squeezed through with a major advisory that i change the exhaust due to it rotting. It came as...

So, i get home from work today and decide to give the car a quick blast over with the Karcher. Get to the last wheel and to my surprise, the washer rips off some paint. Not happy at all! Any suggestions of what i can do?!

smart rep mate. i'll have to look out for you on the roads ;)
