really.. brake fluid needs to be changed that regularily!! hell..
Never changed that myself, is it very difficult? (excuse me if thats a silly question)
After all my sport spotting in the southwest, i thought i'd branch out to suffolk! lol
Yellow V6, i'm sure i've seen some really nice pics of it on here.
KARL on the plate, with black stripes, saw it at a Shell petrol station (don't know the road name as i'm not from this area, even though it...
Didn't Jamie Olivers camper have aporsche engine in it at some point? they had it on topgear, he had to cook while being driving round the track...
remember that one?
Was driving through bath while at work todat at around 11am ish and saw the SDV complete with rally mud flaps.
Looking good i must say.
You were going under a railway bridge thingy the one way bit, know where i mean?.. lol, not sure on the road name..
I'll have to see about the headlight at some point then..
(think i might get fobbed off then?? :-( Cooks have alwasy been pretty good for me, we shall see)
did mine myself last weekend.. bought all stuff from renault cost £38 i think.
Didn't take long after i managed to get the damn oil filter off..
(never had to remove one that solid before!!! - they aren't even supposed to be on tight are they!)
wheres this breakfast run from & too?...
week on sunday, if the mrs will accept a breakfast run as an excuse not to go see her mother in suffolk then i'm there.. don't fancy my chances much!
i hope you didn't give my little car too much punishment on the ring road! ;-) i've been driving really sensibly to save all the petrol in there.. lol
I'll probably give them a ring on monday about that seal thingy, i need to get it in for it's first MOT soon aswell, so get it done at the same...
were you now..... so it was you that fixed the oil leak was it?... i hope you did your best work 'ever' on it. & didn't forget to put some nuts on here & there lol
Did you drive it up & down the ring road aswell then?
Engines a bit dirtier now.. you could have cleaned it up a bit for me :-(...
I have been spotted now :-(
Anyway, wasn't me, my car was in renault today having it's little rocker cover oil leak fixed.
Someone did get to drive it on the ring road though, so i was told (to check a noise through the door seal)
Oh and mines WR53
Right... i took the plunge & it's booked into renault..
Taking it down tomorrow morning..
So for anyone working at a renault dealer in bristol.. look after it.. pretty please :-)
hell.. so it is a problem!! bugger
It's under warranty until November (luckily!)
I didn't think it was too much of a problem.. I was wrong.
Better get the thing booked in.
Thanks for the quick replies
By the way, would this make the 'oil ------' & SERV light come on when the oil isn't...
When doing the old 6k Oil change over the weekend i noticed oil on top of the engine.
not knowing a great deal about these things, i'm just wondering if this is kind of normal? or if i have a slight oil leak.
(been hearing about a common 172/182 oil leak.. is this it?
Any ideas?
I think your right, will need to get it booked in,
I've changed the oil, so the levels are fine now (it wasn't that low when i emptied it) so i'l lsee if the lights come on again now.
But i think i will book it in for the oil on top of the engine. it's not alot, but there is some there (am i...
i've been having a similar problem..
I've had the SERV light & the 'oil -------'
This only seems to happen when it's been reversed on my drive?? (it's a little sloped, not too much)
I check the dip stick & it was half way between Max & Min
I did an oil change yesterday so will see how mine...
cheers for that edde, starting to make sense now.
So if i'll try for 5w 40 if not, the 10w 40 will be fine.
(saying that.. our winters are getting cold! lol)
Cheers for all your replys
It's not due a service, i just thought i'd change the oil after 1 yr / 6000 miles rather than the 2yr / 12000 miles.
So don't really want to spend £40 on oil if it's going to get changed for £25 10w 40 in another 6k when i take it to renault for it's 24k service. So was just going to use what...
