Paddymph...dont say that, Ive got my cup booked into the bodyshop there on Monday...why? Whats happened there? Give me a PM if you dont wanna put it in the main thread. Cheers

I remember that allard do turbo upgrades for the 306 DTurbo, so Im sure that they could maybe do the same thing for a Focus, as its a Pug engine that theyre using...Im just not too sure if they can mess with the engine itself as all this common rail stuff is well over my head. See if this...

My last 3 letters are VOF....as in VOFFFFF Ive just passed you!!! :D

Its whichever is sooner, ie. when the car is 2 years old, or if it reaches 18K before that. So it would be a safe bet to say that the car will need a service circa November, if it has not done 10,000 in the next 6 months. Hope that helps

Ive been advised circa £150 - £200...Make sure its a Renault dealer, for the full Renault Service history...can help get a few pounds more...Ive only got 5.5K to get to 12,000 so Id better start saving now!!! ;)

My old 306 was broken into...they got a pair of Animal sunglasses, and a pair of prescription specs...when I reported it to the police, I was asked what my ethnic origin was, to which I replied "Well, the car is blue!" The stolen items werent even on show, some smackheads having a laugh (at my...

Tim, had my cup for a month now, I love it...just hate the admiring "glances" from the pikey or scally or charver generation!!! I just seem to find too many people pull out in front of you while driving, and too many Punto drivers want to take you on...(God only knows why, when theyre absolutely...

The retest after 6 points is only if youve past your test within the last 2 years, as youre on a 6 point probationary level. If youve had a full license for longer than 2 years then 6 points will just go on your license...its still a bummer, just thought Id try and clear that up. PS. even if...

Try the Autotrader, there were some cups at Renault Watford, and a group in Solihull in Midlands bought the last few cups off the production line. Chances are that its an ex-demo, which one of the sales reps would have had. They get them as freebies and incentives of working for the...

Phil, I own a cup, but never drove a Clio Mk1 or a Williams, so I wouldnt know how to compare it either favourably or otherwise. I love the cup, as it does without creature comforts like Climate control, ABS and traction control, etc., but it is still a nice car to drive and own, and it more...

Right, this is not an advert, but have a look at http://www.aapetrolbusters.comwww.aapetrolbusters.com register your E-mail address...then put in your postcode, and how far you would go for petrol, it will tell you the best prices. With the way that the old petroleum is going up, some garages...

I had a copper in a van pull me over in my old car, I performed a U turn at a set of traffic lights near the City of Manchester stadium. He said that it was a no U-turn zone, and I replied that there was no signs (I was correct in this statement), he drove off...I wouldnt mind, but one of his...

Its not the spoiler that seems to be suffering, its the paint on the roof...its white where the spoiler has rubbed off the blue paintwork each time its been opened. I know one thing, and that is that Im not paying for it, its either under Warranty, or the dealer can sort it...Ive had the car for...

Has anyone else had a problem with the top of the rear spoiler scraping the roof where the roofline and spoiler meet when the boot is being opened? Ive noticed it on mine, got it as ex-demo car from main dealer, and took it back kicking off. The body shop have seen it and said its probably not...

Was the road wet when you were caught doing that speed? Was there a lot of traffic? The copper who was caught doing 105mph on M6 toll got 6 points because he said that conditions were good, and several others around him were doing the same....see what happens, and good luck

They still have some brand new ones, (2nd owner...V.low mileage) Theyve bought a few around the Solihull area. There are a few, Ive seen one (my own!), seen another 4 out on the road in N.W. England, and there was a 2nd hand one in the garage where I got mine from. Admittedly though, Id kill for...

Where is the actual sensor for the C/locking inside the car? My range has dropped substantially since I got an extra alarm installed.

No worries then, you had me flapping thinking that they were of dubious security ability!!! Cheers man, take it easy. Don

"would advise getting a 2nd set of alloy wheel locking nuts as well, but not renault ones, suggest mcgard, again it slows people down" Rich, are the Renault ones that bad? Just panicking.....dont want some thieving scally taking my decent wheels, do I?

The lines on the other side of the road are really a scare tactic. Some people have been reported to be belting down a road, spot the camera and then drive on the other side of the road (towards oncoming traffic!) in order to avoid detection, these lines help to more accurately guage their speed...

Ive got a cup with the standard alarm, and also a Toad system with a Digi-chirp, so theres 2 flashing LEDs on the centre console, 2 seperate alarms (and a beep whenever someone walks past), and am now going to invest in a Disklok, as the Autolok I had for my old Pug, scratches the plastic...

Ian, everyone pays about £100 on their insurance policy to cover for people who are uninsured...TWOCers that hit "your" car as an example. Okay, their isnt another party you can claim against, but you would get the insurance cover and your claim would go through (be it longer than if there was...

Andy, just try a 182, and one of the very few 172 cups still with less than 100 miles on them (I remember seeing that Renault in Watford had a couple!) but try the 182, then try a 172 cup and see which you prefer, as they really appeal to 2 different audiences. The 182 is more for the man/woman...

The idea of pre-reg cars is good in terms of the cash that you save, but youre the 2nd owner of the car (The dealer being the first), so youll be selling your car as if there was another owner apart from yourself. Also you need to be 100% certain if the car is a UK spec car purchased from the...
