Well parks told me! Lol, but in all serious I thought the tracking was out, so when I got a new tyre fitted the guy did it for me. To be honest it never really made a difference, the car still was out! We'll see how it goes though!

Thats what i thought, Ive got my car back from parks now and I'm taking it to a local guy, he gave me a much more reasonable price, around £25! Well for the drop link, he said he would have a look at the tracking rods, but he doubted they needed changing!

Just been off the phone with a couple of garages, main dealer wanted to charge me 305.11 to fit one new drop link and both tracking rods for my 1.2 clio. Told them where to go, and phoned up a local garage who ive dealt with before who told me that he would struggle to charge that to rebuild the...

Theres plenty of details as to why zymol are unpopular on detailing world, but mainly it comes down to the way they conduct business, they are trying to charge around £10000 per year to be an authorised detailer, and iirc you need to be an authorised detailer to be able to resell their products.

No really demanding gaming, when im really bored i sometimes break out theme hospital, but seriously im not planning anything too demanding, just want it to be able to handle general tasks better. Im thinking about getting a new case and making a media pc though! Spending limit is not high...

Hi, Im basically just looking for opinions about this, so any help appreciated! I'm currently running a 5 year old pc, mainly used to keep my music and occasionally i use it to surf the web etc. But i think its time to treat it a wee bit and upgrade it, i now realise that just chucking in a wee...

4real bro!

WD40, not tht durable, but easy on and leaves a nice finish i think!

Bumper care is my normal choice, however read that WD40 is as good, so a can of 97p asda special WD40 later, pretty impressed, got to be careful it doesnt get on the paint, but other than that, i think it works pretty well! and a hell of a lot cheaper!!

Was washing the car there, and had a wee play about with the sensor, seems to be back to normal! Strange!!

I have this problem, i put a pin in them to clear them only to find that they aren't clogged, they just slide down, use the pin to pull it up and reposition the jets! You have to do it every couple of months, but its a free fix and not much hassle, just 30s once you've washed the car!

hmm, i'll try a breakers, being a poor student i cant really spend too much just now, christmas nights out tightening the purse strings this month (plus im a scottish accountancy student, so they were tight to start with!!) Cheers anyway

Hmm well i think i'll pay a visit to the parts bin tomorrow and see what i can get, how much did you pay for the sensor if you dont mind me asking?

Calm down mate, just joking, my sarcastic comment was actually aimed at the famous french build quality! Ive been doing more research in the meantime however, and it doesnt look as if the sensor is the definitve solution, maybe a faulty connection, so maybe try that see if you can save a few quid!

Well the only thing i would say is that about six moths ago i had a bump that cracked my wing mirror, and its worked fine for a further six months! Not that sensitive. The alternate way of looking at it is that Renault build bulletproof parts and that this is just sensitive in comparison, hmm...

Im heading up to my dealer tomorrow, need to get some dodgy work repaired, so i'll ask then, see if they can shed some light on the matter.

bump for this thread, got this problem too, any ideas anyone?

I was thinking about this the other day, does this stuff really work? If it does might invest in some! Sorry for hijacking a bit, but saves me creating a new thread!

For the record the 100% refers to the volume of carnuba, for example the old P21s contained carnuba and beeswax, however this only contains carnuba wax, plus the usual oils etc. R222 wont give a percentage of carnuba in the wax, however do say it is quite high. Found all this out on DW!

Interesting, if it gives the same results as and still doesnt have great durability then I cant see myself justifing the extra tenner! Mind you just read that it should get an extra months durability due to increased carnuba content, maybe worth a shot? I think I might give it a go once I've...

Linkage: http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/Store/Product/ProductDetails.aspx?ProductId=443 Just browsing and i found this, anyone used it before, any thoughts etc?

That happens in my street, all the curtain twitchers come out when i wash my cars every sunday, that was until after a few months when they started to see how much of a difference it was making to the car, now i take care of three other cars in my street, makes for some great beer money for a...

If you have the money to spare its best to go for an autobrite HD lance and some super snow foam. After this advice being told time and time again, i decided i didnt have the money to spare and bought that one and some halfords value 5l shampoo to put in it giving a total cost of £18. Thats less...

Alan, what dealer did you get your 197 from, as i think your up my end of the woods, and if they offer savings like that then...

is a 1.2 not torsion bar at te rear tho?

I had the same reservations as you about the silverline one being rotary, but i decided to go for it anyway, and i have to say, ive used it a few times now on both my car and my friends, and been very very impressed with the results!

That is an actual polisher though! I bought it recently and was worried about using it due to the fact it isnt an orbital polisher. However i braved it out and gave it a go, and i have to say, absolutely smashing results!!! used menzerna intensive polish and i am really impressed, got some final...

i cleaned my engine cover with a wee bit of cif! worked wonders

Right ive ordered a new polisher, and im well aware of the dangers, but im going to risk it. Now im looking at the right polishes to use with the machine to get rid of the swirl marks and spiderwebbing on my car. In my amature opinion its medium to light. I was looking at getting some megs 83...

cheers i think i'm going to get one then. Thanks
