So what about draining and refilling? I found the 8mm drain plug and assuming that the rubber nozzle on top of the Gearbox is for filling. Anyone know the capacity? the oil grade? Renault London City were particulary unhelpful explaining they couldnt tell me the details incase i got it wrong...

I ran in fairly carefully up to about 800 miles...

It gets used quite enthusiastically and was sticking in second sometimes at hight revs, it hasnt been changed from new (now 6k) so thought it wouldnt do any harm. Just wondering on tips for access to drain and filler and what grade oil is recomended.

Anyone got instructions on how to do change the gearbox oil on a Cup? Thanks.

Any advice on the best places to jack the Clio (front and back) with a trolley jack and position axle stands to avoid damamge?

I believe that 16" Speedline Turinis weigh 6.9kg each.

Thanks. Im looking to ditch the seat belt so will want to terminate the connector. Ill PM Roamer. and yes no airbags in seats just up front and no ABS.

Just taken out the drivers seat in the Cup as its being replaced. There is an electrical conenctor to the seat which must be for the seat belt pre-tensioner and seat belt warning signal. Pictures below: C:\Personal Files\Travel\HK52 LNR\Drivers seat connector"> C:\Personal Files\Travel\HK52...

Si172 - I get the same vibration/buzz, sounds a little like loose stones rattling around. I thought it came from the eingine too but , I think its actually from the exhasut as having stripped the back out its more noticable as coming from behind. Also there is a vibration from what sounds like...

I dont use the car the much so am quite prepared to leave the track day tyres on all the time (road legal versions obviously) and avoid the expense / storage issues / swapping of extra wheels. So if you know of any...

Anyone found any track day style tyres (i.e. A032, A048, ACB10, etc...) in 195/45 16? The size seems a little obscure and I havent found anything yet.

Can you talk me through the fitting of the front brace?

Does anybody have the Brake Pad reference numbers (front and back) for some decent fast road pads from Mintex (1144s), Ferodo or Pagid for a Cup, some distributors seem conifsed on exactly which pad is correct. Not my intention to start off a debate...

Sadly enough i did...memory is a little hazy but i think approxiamte weights were: Upright ~ 9 kg Bench ~ 4 kg so i all in all about a 16kg saving. Ill check later.

Good news...and no to the kids. Thanks.
