well obv am going to replace it eventually... but my brake pads are somewhat of a priority with an MOT booked for fri am!

really? i didn't even try those i figured they'd just spin around... anybody happen to know what size thread these bolts are? want to replace them with NORMAL hexi to avoid this kind of pants in future...

never mind i've smashed up the engine cover. that'll learn it!

perseverance and WD40 i suppose... once more into the fray!

i'm using the screwdriver that came with the spare wheel kit but i also have a set of various sizes torx these are always a b*****d to get off :(

there's two left and i'm probably seconds away from rounding them completely :rolleyes: how easy is it to snap the engine cover off anyway? might be my only option the way things are going... whose genius idea was it to put the brake fluid reservoir in a completely inaccessible place :mad:

hah! try £800! new condensor, reconditioned rad, etc never did bother replacing the bumper and grill. hardly seems worth it when i could easily hit something else tmrw. in fact there was hardly any damage visible externally, which i suppose was a blessing... of sorts! not an experience i'd...

yeah apparently that's standard practice now... makes sense when you look at it! :coffee:

i got mine to around 125mph and chickened out so i don't know whether it's capable of more...

afaik sainsbury's is just bp fuel rebranded. i've always used it and not had any problems. i'd avoid tesco's & morrison's as a rule tho, after that fiasco last year!

again, my book says 72k or 4 years sounds like i need a new book! :S

150,000 km which is 90,000 miles ? or have they changed it since my service book was printed ?

two visits later and it's been slightly redesigned... centre silencer now has cones on both sides. got £20 for my trouble as well. hopefully that's the end of the matter ;) p.s. i'm thinking of selling the decat if anybody wants it...

around lunchtime today...

mine was doing this until recently. as soon as i dropped it out of gear to approach any junction (roundabout, whatever) it would die. quite often would also stall when starting up to leave the house. don't really know what fixed it but i did go on a very long journey up north with some...

i suspected mine was fooked but in this heatwave i now KNOW it is :(

mine's sounding pretty rough at the mo so i'll be paying them a visit as per lifetime guarantee!!

well nobody answered my question so what choice did i have...

£284 1.5hrs labour each side ouch

dumbass question here - genuine renault parts are sold only from renault dealers or ?

approx cost to replace, incl fitting? also is this aka top mounts cheers :) also why are these dead already at only ~70k miles?

looks like a little project for my easter holiday! cheers for the visuals. it is cheap crap tho. my old M reg rover is still on the road and as far as i know, the lumbar support still works! :rolleyes:

as above, around nailsea/weston area approx, morning

next qu - how do i get the seat out? lol

ok so how do i get inside the seat without completely destroying it?

damnit. mine has popped today. just another in a long list of problems with my car lately! :rolleyes: presumably there is no cheap/quick fix for this? i don't really need it but i did like having it!

ah, didn't think of that. will give it a go, cheers

seems i can't find the spanner to unlock the centre caps of my alloys. not sure if i ever had one but as the tyres have been changed several times now it could have vanished long ago. long and short of it i need to source a replacement asap, can i get it from any renault dealer or would they...

i would have said inferno, but i wasn't sure if it was given a different name ;) i resisted the urge to put baked bean as well lol it was def around nailsea/weston kind of area, as i was driving to bridgy at the time lovely car tho, i guess it's on the transporter to save miles?!

on a breakdown truck/transporter. sup?
