Is it a main dealer? If so their prep work will likely mean the pads and tyre will be done too. Part of buying from franchise dealer
TBF the sales person won’t know or give a dam about what other prep is needed. He just needs to note the additional agreed work. Also if in last MOT it was noted...
From my point of view I’m interested to see the progress you make but without finger pointing or digs at any previous workmanship.
I fully understand where the OP is coming from and if I’d bought it, which I was tempted then I would be in more trouble as I have no mechanical know how, but I am...
@cstarby Can you do me a favour? Change your avatar picture to maybe the same but with the bonnet shut.
I know Renault build quality can be regarded as shoddy but it makes it look like the panel gaps are huge. ?
Just thinking out the box here excuse me. How much is the overall conversion going to cost you?
Would you not be better off buying a ready made one like @T9 0LLE or @masekwm for sale on here and sell your existing one on.
With what I expect you’d save you could perfect either of those cars for...
@cstarby FYI, a few little facts for your PB as I'm at work and utterly bored:
1 of just 4 registered in the UK with no options fitted.
It was ordered by the dealer on 03/12/2004.
Built on Thursday 16th December 2004.
Received at UK docks on 09/01/2005.
Registered new on 19/01/2005.
Yours was...
I’m not so sure. Looks like it’s got a crease.
Apologetic as you found them out. There’s no way the valeted wouldn’t have noticed that.
They were aware of it for sure. Hoping you drove off and parked up. Oh. Must’ve happened whilst at Waitrose.
Yes. I’ve just looked at your browser history on your phone and it was my old one. Was smacked in to the rear by a van and was recorded as a write off. Never to be out on the road again. Enjoy it though.
Difficult as I know what it’s bought in at. It’s worth whatever anyone’s willing to pay for it.
Try getting it FOC or for them to apply spares. If can’t get a deal (and in fairness you’re not in the best bargaining side as it’s already been put on the order and you’re requesting it be removed...
For life. Visually you can’t tell until the initial polish wears off but when we apply decals or stick in accessories to a car with it applied, they don’t stick so the product’s obviously doing something.
It uses a liquid carbon treatment. It’ll cost the dealer all of about £60 plus valeting costs. Get them to include FOC if possible or otherwise ask for it to be applied without the aftercare bag or warranty. It won’t cost the anything as there’ll be spares left over. Only thing is the dealer is...
Seen a tidy looking ph1 in silver. Looks totally standard and I would assume low owners by MOT history. Been parked up for 5 years but “passed” MOT in January with no advisories after have loads done the MOT before.
If it wasn’t a 10 hour round trip I’d buy it and get belts and service done...
Is this trick still standing. I’m due to come if my reduced package and willing to cancel if need be. What deals are people getting for Sky Q with additional boxes and in general.
I’ll link it for you. ?

I'd have been very keen after my 172 got written off earlier in the year but sadly I've e now got a Meg 250. I have thought about selling it and using money elsewhere but it's not the right time.
