    Calling all Thunderbolt monitor owners/users

    I need a monitor as spreadsheet and invoicing work my the 13"MBP is getting a little tiresome. I am set on paying the completely reasonable fee for the 27" TBD but someone mentioned to me yesterday that a 5k upgrade is most likely due before the end of the year, at worst in the new year and that...

    anyone help? advice?

    Yeah that will tell you but you should be able to hear it really.

    Cruise Control stopped working

    Also check if the Speed Limiter option works as this will rule out a brake pedal or steering wheel control issue.

    anyone help? advice?

    As above I am afraid, chances are that the cranks position relative to the camshafts has been altered by a strand of Aux belt. This would most likely have clipped a valve or three causing a loss of compression and so, no start. The cams and crank maybe turning but without compression it won't...

    Quick question on bleeding coolant system

    In truth, the position of the heater controls makes no difference on a Renault as there is no thermostatic valve as found on some Fords and Vauxhalls for example. Open the bleed point, slowly fill the reservoir until air free coolant can be seen pouring from the hole and then replace the bolt...

    SERV and Traction lights - still no joy

    May be able to squeeze it in on Friday but if it needs anything, we're sunk

    Boiling brake fluid

    You can make your own diverter plates from some aluminium sheet. Failing that, I think CMComposites makes them to. Take the horn out, you don't need that on track

    Boiling brake fluid

    By the way @G 172 those DS1.11's worked an absolute treat at Donington on Sunday. Absolutely zero fade, no fluid boiling and both discs & pads are still in remarkable shape (minor contamination but zero scoring). One guy remarked on how his bike didn't stop as well as my little Clio did from...

    Boiling brake fluid

    Sounds like you're going beyond the limits of the pads also. I really do not rate the DS2500 for track use at all and to me, the standard Brembo pad is actually just as good except it costs a third of the price. You have brake ducts (nice) but no diverter plates (not great) but what wheels are...

    Water pump labour

    Thoroughly scientific but I don't get drawn in to this battle. If you are happy then that's all that matters. I would definitely be asking for an explanation of that bill though.

    Car has rough idle after cam fixed

    Deffo, as above, a cam timing issue most likely to be the cause of this.

    Whistling, windy noise from under the car.

    Most common cause for this is the CAT to Manifold seal kit blowing due to wear or bolts no longer asserting adequate pressure or a worn fire ring. Look carefully at the joint for signs of black soot like stuff at the joint.

    Holy Fek, we charge an extra £120 including the pump and coolant!

    Clutch Pedal Socket

    IIRC it's a complete assembly that you'll need and it's not cheap. Speak to Adam @ Wolverhampton Renault

    Brake Setup Help? ABS Delete/Bias valve ect..

    No, the circuits are not "Front" and "Rear", you should have for example NSF & OSR on one circuit and OSF & NSR on the other (sending the rears via a bias valve). Your speedo will never work again I'm afraid unless you replace the gearbox and use a speedo sender.

    Moving from Android to iOS

    I loved Android but recently moved back to iOS after Samsung screwed me. I do miss a few things (like a back button) and I find the lack of "share" ability between apps infuriating... I mean, come on Apple, WhatsApp is pretty well established now so why can't I share from say the native photo...

    Mk3 Keyless entry issues

    It's not adjustable fella but we can take a look at it and see what the body control is seeing as the sensors are known for water ingress. I'm sure I owe you a favour though

    Mk3 Keyless entry issues

    Battery in the card at a guess. If that's okay have the proximity sensors checked via CLIP

    Anti-rattle springs sat correctly and not in the examination window? It's a common mistake

    Michelin pilot sport 3

    Because when ever i've been to Scotland in Winter (I go to Aberdeen and Airdrie to see friends for Christmas and New Years) the roads are grim. Standard road tyres don't tend to work too well in temps below 4 degrees which is why a Winter compound is advised in Scotland over winter periods.

    Michelin pilot sport 3

    The PS3 is just brilliant on these cars in pretty much all conditions and I have yet to find a tyre for these cars that performs as well. In Scotland you may want a dedicated winter tyre though.
