Those grills look shocking 😱 Looks like it's a black car that's had a blue vinyl wrap.

That's definitely a cheap Chinese reproduction caliper. You can tell from the arm that the handbrake cable goes through. Original calipers the arm looks like this.

Take it to Birchdown. If you're in Manchester it won't be that far for you. It's good 3 hour round trip for me. I'm booked in for my cambelt, aux belt.... service in a couple of weeks. They're always very busy. I've been going to Andy and Steve for years and their work is always spot on 👍...

Ahhhh right. It does look a bit perished. I think it should be ok though if it's bonded in.

That seal looks a bit strange. Has it had a new quarter glass in the past? It doesnt look like it's got the factory tint? They are bonded in, but there's a seal inside as well. Yours looks like it's coming out. This is what mine looks like.

If yours is 172 cup then these are what you need. https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-front-shock-absorber-cup-version/ https://renaultpartsdirect.co.uk/parts/steering-suspension/renault-clio-172-182-rear-shock-absorber-cup-version/

Less than half the price from Autodoc for an SNR wheel bearing 😉

I don't know who told you that? But it's not true. The Avon zv7s are still available from lots of different places and haven't been discontinued.

I think it depends what the warning light is. If it's an abs fault, my understanding is that it's a safety issue and would be a fail. I'm guessing it depends on the MOT tester, how well you know them 😉

£2k tops. It wants some serious money spending just on the rust alone, then factor in the belts, you're looking at spending another £2k just to get it looking half decent again.

Sorry I can't help with your problem. Just out of interest. What speakers did you put in the fronts? I'm looking to change mine sometime.

Well done and Happy Birthday 👍 🎉🎊 My 182 is coming up to 19 years ownership from new in February 2025. If I'd waited a couple of weeks it would have been an 06 plate. It's only got 125k on the clock so not too high mileage for its age. It's had a s**t load of money thrown at it in the past few...

It could be your handbrake cables are old and have stretched which has been mentioned. I was experiencing the same. It just wasn't holding very well on steep hills. I always leave it in gear anyway but obviously wanted the handbrake to hold the car. My cables are only a couple of years old so...

Yeah 90 days lol. Mad isn't it. I knew the arch liner wasn't available. But Renault told my bodyshop it was available on back order. There wasn't any actual damage to the arch liner caused by the accident. The existing damage had been there for years so he thought he'd order me a new one lol...

It comes with 1 cap and fits a 1*2 perfectly 👍
