they are quick and i'd guess very little in it

looks nice. UDM is a great bit of kit aint it!

does frustrate you when they dont know their own cars - had similar problems

definitely the 172 cup - the 182 cup is far too good for you ;-)

2004 54 182 cup, 12k

stripes?

saw a white BMW 120d today with a nice factory kit on it and black alloys and it looked the nuts.

love it - new wallpaper!

lol i had both of the matchbox models of these when i was a kid (showing my age a bit there!)

Live in sunny handforth, bout you?

that would have been me mate at that time heading back from comgleton - them roads were bad, hit a lake on my way up :-(

no worries mate - more time driving now and less time cleaning!

Knowing my luck they'll retest it tomorrow and "your tyre has a tear in the sidewall so its failed...arghhhh" fingers crossed, but i am well impressed with their gesture

you're right but i live in a cave and dont know anybody - maybe they felt sorry for me :-)

My car failed its first MOT last week due to the brake discs being pitted and corroded - the car has only covered 12k miles so i was a little miffed to say the least. Anyway, received a call from a nice lady at renault UK today saying this shouldnt have happened and that they'll replace the...

second the TDC sensor, very common problem, my dad's T reg Clio had the exact same prob as yours - cant answer your question as to where it is tho, although i remember reading a post a while back describing how to change it

pitted front brake discs!

mine's 3 years old, unmodded, as new, 12k miles and i plan on keeping it - shame it cant pass its f*cking MOT!

well kept, low mileage, full service history and unmollested will demand the most dosh in years to come.

That seems quite reasonable unlike the £260 they quoted me

Jacked the car up before and took all the wheels off to have a look at the brakes. There is some corrosion on the inside of the front discs, mainly near the edges. Had a word with one of my neighbours and his mate is a mechanic and he said just give it a good blast and apply the brakes for a...

so do you reckon then if i go elsewhere they wont be able to find out that renault have already failed it, as i know these electronic MOTs are different to the old ones?

Yeah i've read some posts on here where people have bought brand new cars that are fault after fault after fault and the manufacturer aint interested in the slightest so i know he'll spin me some bullsh*t about it being my fault!

Yeah i'll prob get the wheels off this aft and see what i can see. Thing is the car is still in showroom condition so never even entered my mind that they'd fail it!

I know now that i shouldnt of took it there but my logic was there's 6 days of the warranty left so if they do find somert then they can put it right - kind of back fired!

yeah it's a total rob mate! I could get someone to do it for nowt and just pay for the parts but there's jack all wrong with the brakes!

Just after some advice! took my 182 cup for its first MOT this morning at renault. I've owned it from new, really look after it, its done 12k miles and its in immac condition. Anyway you guessed it failed :-( they failed it on front discs being pitted which they said was due to the low...
