Yep, they would have put it there to stop fuel coming out when the originally replaced the filter - take it off - now!!!

Yup Socket - possibllt torx sockets aswel but should all fit in very easily - remember tho that there isnt much room to work in there! The thermostat shjould just plug in. I did mine not long ago but cant remeber how easy it was im afraid.

Bump ^^^

Ah yes, but i dont want to spray the really really hot bits, just the plastic cover ;) Was kinda hoping standard Halfords paint would do the trick..... ive got some at home and have just done my wing mirrors...

Want to spray my black F7P engine cover bit in red to match the body work - should look cool so long as the paint doesnt melt - any thoughts/advice?

Cool, ill check it then. Thanks mate, hope its as simple as that!

Yeh, it was fine last time i checked - take it that is the small box on the drivers side?

When the car is at a standstill and i begin to turn the wheel, the power from the engine is seriously drained and the rev counter drops bellow 400rpm!! Plus the steering is really heavy and makes a terrible drone and also feels like its rubbing as the wheel turns through the steering...

Yup - always gonna be the alternator- it could be a loose belt - a fooked battery or just simply the alternator broke. Get it sorted asap coz you dont want to get stuck on the motorway!

I got banned for a year and received a cheaper quote with a specialist company than if i never got a ban!!!!!

Clever boy

190 bhp from a 1.4!!!!!!!!! How? I find that a little far fetched!!!!

Ok, just want to do a few checks on my breaks to make sure they are in good condition, the mechanic it was with said they were fine but i want to make sure.....

They are smaller and lighter than a valver anyway and the power is almost the same so its not surprising that they come close if not win.

Christ mate - thats awful. Mine was an attempted break in too. The door no longer sits flush with the body and the seal looks really lumpy - crpa really - can get new ones from renault tho i suppose which should make a pretty huge difference.
