I managed to squeeze my hands in under the scuttle and bodge it a bit so they still go about half way to get me to work today. I've just booked it in to the garage down from my work tomorrow and they can sort it before they sort out the rest of the list as I cba with the hassle anymore I just...
My front wipers have been kind of jumpy recently and last night they became really slow then stopped working, the motor seems to make an effort and if I pull the wipers up the windscreen I can still feel the motor working slightly.
Am I right in thinking I need a new motor/linkage?
Thanks for...
My car was in for tyres, a wheel bearing and a few other bits last week.
While it was in for the work to be done they done an autofitness report, everything was fine as expected but they wrote on the sheet to advise O/S/R carrier bolt. If I remember right there is a carrier on each front...
When I first start my car, reverse it out of my driveway and drive it out of my street there seems to be a strange clicking noise from the front of my car (this is the best way I can think of to describe it) when I press my brake pedal.
It's not a repeated clicking noise, I'll press the brake...
No problem,
I was swapping my seats over when I broke mines so I just swapped the good part from my old seat on to my replacement seat, I'd offer to send you one but the only spares I have are 2 broken ones which would need glued.
I would try renault, renparts or somewhere like that, if they...
I done this last week.
To get to the little button you need to unfasten the zip round the outside of the seat, pop the little plastic clip out from the back of the seat, pull the material on the side of the seat over the metal piece which secures the seat to the car. When this is done get your...
Nothing was mentioned about a 25 point check and I wasn't given any paperwork or anything before I left just my key, guessing they must have forgot/couldn't be arsed/my car was perfect (doubtful!).
As said earlier I'm not bothered about it as it's just passed it's MOT with a couple of...
I got this done this morning FOC because its not been done before, I didnt get the car health check that some people have had but, do you just get that if its a quiet day for them or something?
Kind of expected them to check the car and find some jobs that need done to try and make themselves...
I had this today when I was getting my car ready to put new seats in.
First I tried going under the car and soaking the bolt with wd40, went inside the car about 10 minutes later and tried unscrewing it with a ratchet and a long breaker bar using this I managed to get it to around half way then...
Cheers, just wasn't sure if they'd be funny about it because of the last one I missed, I'll try and get it booked this week if I can, not paying £95 but, definately not.
I would have booked it in at the nearest one to me in Paisley, I just don't know when it was due because I have a habit of not making notes of things then forgetting about them about a week later.
Was just wondering if they'd be able to knock it back after me forgetting I had it booked in...
The mechanic I've been using this week reminded me about this today. I got this letter at the end of february and I'm sure I booked mines in at my local renault garage (can't remember when exactly), I've been very busy over the past month so my cars been forgotten about when it comes to...
I know exactly what you mean mate, I'm an electrician and give people deadlines of some sort if I'm rewiring a house, etc. then something goes wrong, I'm there for hours longer than expected and people start hassling me/moaning at me/being a d!ck (pretty much what I end up doing to mechanics...
You're probably right, I'm probably not getting the full picture but he did mention when I collected it that he had 5 clutches and a gearbox and clutch to do since yesterday, I'm guessing that takes up quite a lot of time if only 2 people work there?
Even with the deadline issues i will still...
